The Zoning Disconnect:

Since this book was primarily consolidated in the late 20th century, many of the dimensional standards (such as road widths, parking counts, and setback requirements) were based on the zoning models of that era.

Time-Saver Standards is a renowned series of reference guides that provide detailed information on various aspects of construction, including building design, materials, and systems. The standards were first introduced in the 1940s and have since become a trusted resource for professionals in the construction industry. The guides are designed to save time for architects, engineers, contractors, and builders by providing readily accessible information on various construction-related topics.
