Could this include cement blocks with openwork that could contain dirt and grass? I have seen a driveway constructed this way, and the visual effect was much more attractive than asphalt as well as being less of a contributor to the heat island effect. I think this would be called a pervious surface, requiring a slight modification of the terminology here.

Is this aimed at a specific size of angular stone? If so, why? It seems unnecessary--few people want to park on uneven angular boulders or cobbles, so maybe this is aimed at angular gravel coarser than crusher fines? I can imagine advantages to a driveway of compacted angular stones between approximately 1/2 inch and 1 inch in diameter-- particles small enough to pack down flat and but large enough not to get stuck in your shoes like crusher fines. Is there really a pressing zoning issue to exclude this option? If so, please be specific about allowable particle sizes, and explain why.

As an editorial observation, the proposed wording needs "or" inserted in front of "crusher fines" to be consistent with the preceding phrase "such as".
