THE LEGALITY OF FORM-BASED ZONING CODES

摘要

A growing number of land planners, architects, and local government officials are seeking to dramatically improve zoning laws in Florida and throughout the United States. New Urbanism, a movement which advocates pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use communities, would replace conventional zoning with form-based zoning. Form-based zoning focuses on the physical appearance of streets and buildings to achieve a predictable, aesthetic result. Conventional zoning, by comparison, focuses on the segregation of land uses, which contributes to sprawl.
