Abstract:

This project produced several principles that help develop livable communities. These principles include: promoting mixed-used communities; implementing minimum lot size and frontage requirements that have a direct impact on transportation; building schools, day care centers and recreation areas near neighborhoods; planning large retail activities near interstate interchanges; creating opportunities to co-locate public facilities; designing neighborhood streets to a smaller scale than state roads; adopting driveway and entrance location and design standards; and preserving open space plans for large lot sizes.
