The above-titled book by Donald Elliott will be of interest to planners and zoning officials. According to the author’s Web site, “A Better Way to Zone provides a vision of future zoning that is not tied to a particular picture of how cities should look, but is instead grounded in how cities should work.”
The principles are:
1 – More Flexible Uses
2 – The Mixed Use Middle
3 – Attainable Housing
4 – Mature Area Standards
5 – Living With Non-Conformities
6 – Dynamic Development Standards
7 – Negotiated Large Developments
8 – Depoliticized Final Approvals
9 – Better Webbing
10 -Scheduled Maintenance
