Traditional zoning and parking requirements have contributed to the cluttering of the nation's commercial roadways. Neal Peirce comments on an alternative called "form-based codes."
"Arlingtons form-based codes suggest a promising new approach -- up-front citizen consultation, less regulation, quicker approvals, flexible building forms, and a way to revive old roadways and develop the new worker housing thats desperately needed in many communities. Weve long needed a better formula for our older commercial roads. Maybe this is it."
