Developing Smart Growth Zoning Codes Workshops

Dates: December 9, 2004, Pasadena, CA

Intro | Agenda

Many communities are clamoring for smart growth development that delivers attractive, walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods. Unfortunately, current zoning codes and land development regulations present major impediments to making smart growth a reality.

This workshop provided tools to assist in either fine-tuning or completely revamping a community's zoning codes and policies to create more livable communities.

Smart growth planning experts and local government officials with experience in preparing smart growth codes and land development regulations addressed a number of issues, including:

• Designing compact, walkable neighborhoods
• Incentives for mixed-use development
• Revitalizing main streets and downtown
• Getting the street standards right
• Form-based codes
