Municipal Zoning Incentives
1.0 LU Hours - Approved
1.0 USGBC CEU Hours - Approved

Incentive zoning allows a developer to build a larger, higher-density project than would be permitted under existing zoning. In exchange, the developer provides something that is in the community's interest that would not otherwise be required (e.g., open space, plazas, arcades, etc.). The common types of community benefits or amenities for which state and local governments have devised incentive programs are urban design, human services (including affordable housing), and transit access.

This panel will examine Incentives as a strategy for greening our communities. Discussion will include planning, engineering and legal aspect of incentive zoning, as applied to sustainable design and construction.
