Protecting that Elusive Community Character: What Can We Still Do? (May 2020)
The planner’s toolbox for shaping and protecting community character has undergone some dramatic shifts in recent years, especially in Texas, where the legislature has curtailed the use of once-standard approaches. What’s the current status of some of our most effective placemaking tools? Who’s doing a good job defining and protecting that elusive “community character”? Take a look at the current state of form-based codes, historic preservation, design review, and other placemaking tools to explore what’s been effective, what’s changed, and what’s on the horizon in this new legal landscape.
