One of the freshest concepts to be introduced to zoning in decades, Form-Based Codes (FBC), is receiving widespread attention from local officials, interested citizens, and the development community. Form-Based Codes rely on design concepts and patterns intended to preserve the best of a community, creating more sustainable places. FBC focus on the physical form of the building and its relationship to the street and adjacent buildings. Compatibility of uses is achieved through design and orientation, instead of strict land use separation.
 
Is a Form-Based Code Right for You?
FBCs can be crafted for a specific district or community-wide. They offer some advantages over more traditional zoning. LSL's experience with both types of regulations can help you decide what best fits your needs. |
