Henry Iler Nationwide, local governments are struggling to incorporate green/sustainable practices into plans and codes. Climate Action Plans provide energy reduction targets, but can be light on how “to get there.” Comprehensive plans and LDCs have to be modified in big ways to get real community-wide implementation. Learn about a Florida city going far beyond HB 697 by preparing a Green Element as the first element in its Comprehensive Plan, and the model “Sustainable Community Development Code,”prepared by the Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute, with related implementation case studies, plus the latest data on cost-savings associated with “going green.”
