Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study uses the hedonic framework to look at an aspect of planning and its effects on property values. Specifically, the study examines the impacts of cluster residential development on home value using data on Lower Gwynedd Township (Pennsylvania, USA). Other factors remaining constant, the study finds that properties located within cluster developments (CLUS) attract premium prices of roughly 3.9%, on average, relative to properties in conventional developments. However, part of the 3.9% price premium is attributable to the permanent open spaces which are parts and parcels of clusters. When the variable for open space (OPEN) is introduced, the cluster (CLUS) premium reduces to 2.02% suggesting the relative importance the permanent open spaces. The open space variable (OPEN) is associated with a premium of as much as 5.2%, on average. The density of development variable (DENSITY) is significantly negative at conventional levels. The normative implication of the density finding is that raising permitted densities, per se, in a suburban setting where market densities are lower than permitted densities, will have adverse impacts on home value. The results of this study provide empirical support for sustainable, greener, residential cluster development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In most communities, land use regulations are based on a limited model that allows for only one end result: the production of more and more suburbia, composed of endless subdivisions and shopping centers, that ultimately covers every bit of countryside with "improvements." Fortunately, sensible alternatives to this approach do exist, and methods of developing land while at the same time conserving natural areas are available. In Conservation Design for Subdivisions, Randall G. Arendt explores better ways of designing new residential developments than we have typically seen in our communities. He presents a practical handbook for residential developers, site designers, local officials, and landowners that explains how to implement new ideas about land-use planning and environmental protection. Abundantly illustrated with site plans (many of them in color), floor plans, photographs, and renditions of houses and landscapes, it describes a series of simple and straightforward techniques that allows for land-conserving development. The author proposes a step-by-step approach to conserving natural areas by rearranging density on each development parcel as it is being planned so that only half (or less) of the buildable land is turned into houselots and streets. Homes are built in a less land-consumptive manner that allows the balance of property to be permanently protected and added to an interconnected network of green spaces and green corridors. Included in the volume are model zoning and subdivision ordinance provisions that can help citizens and local officials implement these innovative design ideas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clustering lots allows planners to house a growing population economically. But the savings can be lost through the time-consuming review procedures that are part of the PUD process. Most communities now allow cluster developments, but view them as exceptions that must have a more rigorous review than their conventional brethern. This illustrated report examines cost-effective alternative regulatory techniques that permit cluster site design as a use-by-right or under special permit. The author outlines criteria that the reviewers of a cluster development project should consider when reviewing a project. Cluster Subdivision also presents examples of zoning ordinance provisions for cluster developments from several localities, as well as drafting procedures for communities wishing to implement cluster development.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zoning and subdivision regulations that guided the single-family tract housing of the 1960s and 1970s are inappropriate for the townhouses, clustered homes, duplexes, mobile homes, and apartments that dominate today's housing market. This report looks at how local governments have updated their site development standards both to fit the changing needs of the housing market and to make housing more affordable. Techniques such as right-of-way width reduction, cluster development, and the reduction of setback requirements allows for housing to be built at much greater densities, thereby reducing the cost of the homes. Case studies show four different ways to approach the updating of standards that have been applied across the country.
