In Spanish urban planning, the use type[1]​ is a parameter used to determine the urban rights generated by a certain surface of land affected by an urban action.[2]​ It is the result of dividing the total use of the distribution area by the surface of land included in it.[3]​[4]​.

Typical use is the unitary buildability that the planning establishes for all the land included in the same Distribution Area"), so that its owners are equally entitled to identical or similar subjective use, regardless of the different objective uses that the Plan allows to build on their properties. (According to Art. 60 Regulatory Law of Valencian Urban Planning Activity"), 1994). [5]​.

Typical utilization is the unitary buildability, weighted, where appropriate, with the corresponding corrective coefficients, that the planning establishes for all the land included in the same distribution area. (According to Art. 71 Territory Planning Law, Urbanism and Landscape Law 5/2014 July 25")).[6]​.

Typical utilization: the weighted unit buildability that the planning establishes for all the land included in the same distribution area or spatial scope of reference. (According to Preliminary Provision 3.3 of the Consolidated Text of the Law on Territorial Planning and Urban Planning Activity of Castilla-La Mancha).

At what point is the standard utilization set?

The standard use is established by determining the distribution area and specifying the gross buildability of the sectors that comprise it and the land of general systems or primary network of public facilities that must be obtained from said sectors.

With exceptions, the distribution areas are determined in the General Plan.

How is it calculated?
