Development Regs

[dennis foltz]

We are initiating our update of the Development Regs here in Ocoee and could use ideas/examples from others.
Some criteria for new regs include: plain english; ability to relate to automated tracking; good summary/understanding info, e.g., matrices, graphics, pictures, charts--; streamlined flow; automated linkages for understanding project requirements and process for developers and the public as well as for linking code relationship to comp plan; opportunities for innovative uses (mixed, neo trad, "pattern", TODs, etc.); and innovative ways to display through the web.
We are especially interested in Florida experiences but would welcome suggestions/ideas/examples from other areas.
Thanks. Dennis R. Foltz, AICP

You might want to start by calling communities in your area for examples you can usually get them at no cost and it would give you an idea of how people have dealt (or not dealt) with issues similar to the ones you face. Samples from accross the US may not help as much. If you do want US wide samples you might call the APA to get samples from them.
