The city of Boulder has been working on similar language. There is a Comprehensive Plan you can download, or you could call the planning department (Charles Ferro) and they can help you. They will probably also have precedents. We drafted concepts for several Utah cities that would encourage pocket neighborhoods, solar access, and a few green building concepts. It was very loose, and I'm sure you've already come that far. We also made some presentations and wrote up some recommendations for several NM Tribes, but it's the sort of thing I have to destroy once the work is done (by contract). The Smart Code and Light Imprint Handbook has something as well, I believe. I'd be happy to collaborate as well - we could use a template. -b bryan bowen architects, p.c. 1510 ZAMIA AVENUE #103 - BOULDER, CO 80304 - (303)443-3629 www.bryanbowenarchitects.com -----Original Message----- From: cohousing-l-bounces+bryan=bryanbowenarchitects.com [at] cohousing.org [mailto:cohousing-l-bounces+bryan=bryanbowenarchitects.com [at] cohousing.org] On Behalf Of Grace Kim Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2012 1:56 AM To: cohousing-l [at] cohousing.org Subject: [C-L]_ seeking examples of comprehensive plans encouraging intentional communities I have been contacted by someone in WA state that is serving on a steering committee to develop a "Comprehensive Plan for the county that will guide land use and other elements for the next 20 years. I want to propose language for the plan that will allow for and even encourage intentional communities. I know from my research that dealing with governmental agencies is one of the biggest obstacles for developing intentional communities and having a methodology in place will help both the county and the groups seeking to create these communities in the future. If you could point to any good examples of how other counties have dealt with this in their comprehensive plans or have any other information that would be helpful in developing language that would help in this regard it would be much appreciated." Does anyone have any good examples to share- while he says county, I think at city level would also work? It would be helpful to include the jurisdiction, state, and any key contacts you know about in your examples. Please share by Tuesday so I can compile my responses for him.
