  • Designing Planned Communities Is a Clear Statement of the Design Issues That Are Critical to Creating Livable and Well-Designed Planned Communities
    URBAN DEVELOPMENT DESIGNING PLANNED Th e compositional form of most planned communities defi nes their development struc- ture. Th ey became popular because of development problems that arose under traditional zoning and subdivision regulations, which did not originally include this concept. Th e zoning ordinance regulates land uses and lot sizes. Th e subdivision ordinance regulates DESIGNING PLANNED street and block layouts and requires developers to provide public infrastructure such as streets, sewers, and other utilities. Th ere is a gap here. Neither ordinance gives designers or developers the fl exibility to design a planned community that includes common open space, resource protection, and better and varied design. Th is book shows how to design COMMUNITIES planned communities that overcome these problems. “Designing Planned Communities is a clear statement of the design issues that are critical to creating livable and well-designed planned communities. Professor Man- delker draws on his long experience with planned community and land use regula- tion to explain the meaning of good design for planned communities. He shows how design concepts for planned communities can be translated into effective de- COMMUNITIES sign guidance by local governments. Examples of design standards are provided from comprehensive plans, design guidelines, design manuals, and planned community regulations. Throughout Designing Planned Communities, the reader is taken through the complex problems of design regulation to an eff ective design program that can create planned communities in which we want to live. Planners and lawyers will be interested in what Mandelker has to say about the design issues facing a growing number of planned communities throughout the country.

  • Building Codes and Housing
    Building Codes and Housing Building Codes and Housing David Listokin Rutgers University David B. Hattis Building Technology Inc. Abstract This article examines whether and to what extent building codes affect housing costs. It first describes these technical provisions, then considers how building codes could theoretically affect housing costs, and finally analyzes empirical studies on the subject. While the latter are dated and suffer from other limitations, the more rigorous quan­ titative analyses indicate that codes increase housing costs by 5 percent or less. Further, building codes are in a state of flux and we need to examine how the current generation of regulations affects housing. Thus, building codes merit contemporary investigation; however, these regulations have much less impact on housing costs compared to other regulations such as zoning and subdivisions requirements. Introduction and Summary This article considers the regulation of housing construction (single-family and multifamily, new construction and rehabilitation of existing buildings), focusing on the building code (a broad term specifically defined in this article). It first describes the building code and then traces its history. The history of the building code is important because numerous events and disparate parties have shaped the code, which currently is in a state of evolution. The code is moving toward two national model templates that influence local building code regulations, and away from the three regional-oriented model codes that have been influencing local regulations. In theory, the building code could adversely affect housing production and could increase housing costs through both substantive (technical) and administrative impediments. Examples of the former include restrictions of cost-saving materials and technologies and barriers to mass production; the latter encompasses such barriers as administrative conflicts among different administering parties (for example, building and fire departments) and inadequately trained inspectors.

  • INTRODUCTION to the COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Alan M
    INTRODUCTION TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Alan M. Efrussy, AICP "Planning is the triumph of logic over dumb luck" -Anonymous as quoted by David L. Pugh, AICP "The best offense is" a good defense" - Anonymous as quoted by Alan M Efrussy, AICP The purpose of this chapter is to describe the importance, purposes and elements of the comprehensive plan. This discussion represents the author's perspective and recognizes that there are a number of ways to prepare a comprehensive plan and that different elements may be included in plans, reflecting the particular orientation or emphasis of the community. What is important is that a community has a comprehensive plan. This author and many cities’ planning commission members in Texas are indebted to the authors of chapters regarding the comprehensive plan published by the Educational Foundation, Inc. of the Texas Chapter of the American Planning Association, as part of earlier editions of the Guide to Urban Planning in Texas Communities. The earlier authors were Robert L. Lehr, AICP, planner and former Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Oklahoma, and Robert L. Wegner, Sr., AICP, Professor, School of Urban and Public Affairs, at the University of Texas at Arlington. Definition of a Comprehensive Plan A comprehensive plan can be defined as a long-range plan intended to direct the growth and physical development of a community for a 20 to 30 year or longer period. Ideally, and if feasible, it is appropriate to try to prepare a comprehensive plan for the ultimate development of a community. This will allow for ultimate utility, transportation, and community facilities planning, and therefore can aid in a more time and cost-effective planning and budgeting program.
