Description

Modern land-use controls are often more complex than traditional zoning regulations. Variable controls--setbacks, average densities, lot sizes, and setback buffers--make plan checking more difficult; while other controls, such as those regulating temporary or movable signs, easily thwart inspectors.This report addresses administration and enforcement issues of modern land-use controls. Kelly advocates rules that follow "KISS" (Keep It Short and Sweet). By instituting plans that are friendly to both citizens and inspectors, land-use ordinance violations can more easily be located and corrected. He suggests mechanisms for reporting, communicating, and resolving ordinance violations. The goal is true fufillment of the community's land-use plan. Includes sample materials to help you implement your own enforcement mechanisms.
