This Month: Avoiding Common Form-Based Code Mistakes, Part 1

One of the biggest zoning-related stories over the past 10 years has been the rise of form-based zoning. While proponents of form-based codes have been effective at explaining the benefits of shifting the zoning paradigm away from use, relatively few communities have completely weaned themselves from conventional Euclidean zoning standards.

The May issue of Zoning Practice, tackles some common misconceptions about form-based coding and highlights some common mistakes communities have made when trying to harmonize form-based coding concepts with existing regulations.

Author Daniel Parolek will be online during May to answer your questions about avoiding mistakes in form-based coding.
