- Abstract
- Through the years, the planning profession has been seeking alternative land use guidance tools to co-exist with the traditional zoning and subdivision regulations that encourage conventional land-consuming, lot-by-lot designs. These regulations tend to establish a pre-set formula of standards, which is applied generally to all conditions regardless of environmental constraints. Standards within zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations are rigid and detailed since they are required to be self-administrating by the appropriate agency. This requirement has been established through the American courts in an effort to prevent conditions conducive to arbitrary decisions by governmental agencies. On the other hand, planners have recognized the need for another tool to provide developers with an alternative development choice having more flexible criteria.
