Form-Based Zoning: An Alternative to Traditional OrdinancesLorman Education Serviceslive audio conference, WI This live audio conference will provide a basic understanding of Form-Based Codes (FBC): how they are different, how they can be applied, and how they can help implement more sustainable communities.
Lessons learned and steps toward beginning the process will provide you with a clear path toward a successful form-based code. Legal and practical considerations associated with adopting form-based zoning regulations will be reviewed.
Form-based provisions may not fit neatly into a municipality’s existing zoning and subdivision framework. Practitioners must consider a variety of legal issues, such as the municipality’s general authority to adopt form-based provisions, application and approval processes, and the treatment of non-conforming structures in a form-based district.
