Codes Study is updated! What are we missing?
Prepping for tomorrow's giant zoning board of appeals meeting. As much as it's stressful, it's definitely an awesome way to mash together my love, education and experience in urban planning, real estate development and buffalo! #theglamourouslifeofazoningboardmember #urbanplanner #zoning #formbasedcode #buffalogreencode #realestatedevelopment #buffalo
The Form-Based Codes Institute (FBCI) is a non-profit professional organization dedicated to advancing the understanding and use of form-based codes.
Miami 21 takes into account all of the integral factors that make each area within the City a unique, vibrant place to live, learn, work and play. Six elements served as the lynchpins in the development of the blueprint of Miami: Zoning (Miami 21 Zoning Code), Economic Development, Historic Preservation, Parks and Open Spaces, Arts and Culture, and Transportation.
Spring Grove Code Page Readability Tests
In order to generate a multitude of viable options for the Spring Grove Code document redesign, a series of quick graphics tests were undertaken throughout the process as a way to produce new ideas and elements that could help organize the large code document. These tests were viewed not as a finished element, but as a brainstorming activity undertaken at various points throughout the process that could sparks ideas that could be used in the final code design.
Because of the process, this post is continually added to.
Spring Grove Master Plan and Smartcode
Spring Grove is a 78,000 acre mixed use development located West of downtown Charleston, South Carolina. TPUDC was hired by the developer to create Form-Based development ordinances and Master Plan Regulations for the project that address the owner’s commitment to sustainable development and land use. My work centered around thoroughfare design, document organization and graphics, and client and county relations.

Jericho, Vermont Charrette
The planning process in Jericho began with a five day charrette in which there were various public input sessions, presentations, and topic-specific meetings. The small town West of Burlington had experienced many previous attempts at a cohesive planning process, therefore public percept and pre-event marketing was crucial. During the process, synoptic surveys were taken in order to develop an understanding of regional and local context, Scale comparisons to nearby villages were examined, and many visits to local businesses provided information that would not be found through traditional research. Halfway through the event, a mid way presentation with multiple proposed schemes enable the public to offer feedback that was used to develop the final Master Plan.
