Question

If a form-based code is administered, then what does the administration section of the code specifically set forth?

Answer 1

Answer:

Form-based codes have a description of what uses a building or a place is permitted but focus on the physical character of construction, particularly how they relate to the public realm shared by everybody. More and more people across the country and around our world have seen form-based codes as a more effective and efficient method to accomplish what they want, protect what they care about and escape what they do not want.

Explanation:

In the 1980s a group of architects and designers were trying to construct an alternative to traditional zoning, focusing less on use and more on size, construction speed, the shape of public spaces and the connections between buildings. Throughout this time the Duany Plater-Zyberk & company was planned to create a new community based on traditional neighborhood design concepts, Seaside, Florida, which originally developed an earlier modern type code to direct the development of the new community. The entire municipal code of Seaside was graphically illustrated on one poster as a radical deviation from traditional zoning.
