The old adage “form follows function” describes the common approach behind land use regulation. Form-based codes turn that relationship on its head by emphasizing the cohesiveness of the public realm and defining the appearance and quality of the built environment.
Form-based codes can be applied to new growth areas, existing neighborhoods, in wholesale code revisions for entire communities or limited to special districts.
The program will include presentations by form-based code experts Dan Parolek and Stefan Pellegrini with Opticos Design, and discussions based on real-world examples in California. The workshop is not just for planners, but anyone interested in building better, more predictable and healthy communities, civic leaders, practicing professionals, and community members.
