Form-Based Zoning

This article identifies four lessons from a survey of planners and designers that help explain how to best use form-based codes. The four lessons are:

  1. Not everybody gets form-based codes
  2. Apply form-based codes where they will be effective
  3. Market demand can be a design issue
  4. Align project review with community expectations

 

It identifies these four lessons with the desire to help make the drafting and adoption process easier for planners and designers.
