Form-based zoning
An alternative to comprehensive land regulation, form-based zoning elevates DESIGN and FORM over separation of land uses. Implemented with the goal of quality urban design and compact, pedestrian-oriented urban places, the question arises how might form-based zoning be implemented and enforced from a legal point of view. What are the legal issues implicated when implementing and enforcing form-based zoning, as opposed to conventional zoning? Does this focus on design and form present legal hurdles which override the purported benefits?
