Illustrated definitions are rarely found in zoning and development
ordinances. Ordinances prefer the "thousand words" rather than the
"single picture." Illustrations greatly simplify how standards
should be applied, particularly where the lot or parcel is
irregularly shaped or where there are a number of variables
present, each of which might have an impact on how the ordinance
might apply in a specific situation. This best-selling resource has
been the mainstay of the planner's bookshelf since its first
publication and it differs from other books and publications
containing development definitions in three major respects: It is
illustrated; most of the definitions are designed to be used
directly in ordinances with little or no change; and the more
complex definitions are accompanied by commentaries and annotations
that explain how the definition may be used in an ordinance, along
with background information pertinent to the definition.
This expanded edition standardizes in one handy reference all
the key terms used in zoning, subdivision, site plan, and
environmental ordinances. In all, it contains 1,957 definitions and
103 illustrations that can be incorporated in local ordinances with
little or no change. Written and illustrated by two professional
planners with nearly eighty years of combined experience in the
practice of planning and zoning, this is a basic working tool and
required reference for anyone involved in land development planning
and regulation.
