Sustainable Land Use Code Development
Assist a group of communities with the analysis of existing regulatory frameworks and the creation of model sustainable land use codes, regulations, municipal policies and/or ordinances which integrate and incorporate the CRCOG/EPA Smart Growth Guidelines for Sustainable Design and Development (2009) and that address not only the needs and characteristics of each community, but also the role that each community plays in a larger regional context and within regional systems (i.e. transit corridors, auto corridors, rail corridors, active transportation trails, village centers and development nodes). In keeping with the broad, national applicability of the CRCOG/EPA Sustainable Development Guidelines, model codes should also be able to serve as solid examples for other communities throughout the Knowledge Corridor region and beyond.
