Managing growth as our cities spread into rural settings is a challenge as communities struggle to balance density with the desire to preserve unique characteristics of the landscape. These workshops will present a process and techniques that enable developers and local officials to work together to accomplish economic and environmental goals in creating full-density subdivision developments that preserve open spaces. Workshop leader, Randall Arendt, will describe how this design process can fit into the local regulatory framework through specific provisions in comprehensive plans, zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations.
