The first draft of a new zoning code for Anchorage sent shudders through developers and property owners. A new comprehensive plan required revisions to the 40-year old zoning provisions, and the planners went “state of the art.” Developers and property owners saw catastrophic changes that would cost them added money to comply, often failing to see the benefits to themselves and to the community. The two sides called a moratorium for an economic impact study. Development Strategies helped Anchorage to develop a spreadsheet model of compliance costs for the old and new codes, identifying some unanticipated–but welcome–results. Come see a demonstration of the model and hear about ways to measure the economics of zoning.
This session has been submitted to AICP for approval for 1.0 CM credits.
