Growing Smart Legislative Guidebook 2 V Set

The culmination of a seven-year research project, this final edition of APA's Growing Smart Legislative Guidebook contains the next generation of model planning and zoning enabling legislation for the United States. This new edition includes a CD-ROM, user manual, and more than 500 pages of new information. Items previously published have been updated based on public comment and changes in planning statutory practice. The model statutes, with extensive commentary, provide alternative approaches that can be tailored to fit individual states. Language from interim editions of this guidebook has already been incorporated into laws and bills in 13 states. New materials address siting of controversial facilities, authorization for all types of local land development regulation, adequate public facilities requirements, urban growth areas, unified development permit reviews, design review, traditional neighborhood development, transfer of purchase rights and much more. An invaluable resource for all planners working to update antiquated land-use regulation.
