Transect-Based Land Use Codes...

With Miami's recent adoption of a new transect-based/form-based land use code, a great deal of interest is being generated in what other communities have adopted a similar type of code. 

Here's a link to several case studies and reports on this very topic at SmartCode Complete.

While the SmartCode is not the only type of transect-based/form-based code, it is currently the most utilized and has been customized for a wide variety of jurisdictions.  I've also developed a template version of a transect-based/form-based code that you can download and use however you would like for free from here.

In addition, you can find more about transect-based coding and download (often for free) useful information at SmartCode Central and CATS:  The Central for Applied Transect Studies.
