This guide discusses a series of zoning reform opportunities to support smart growth. Individual sections address mixed use zoning, dimensional standards for compact development, minimizing reliance on planned unit developments, fixing parking requirements, increasing density and intensity in targeted locations, modernizing street standards, modifying form controls to support pedestrian-oriented development, designating preferred growth locations, adopting smart annexation policies, and modifying development densities in outlying areas.
