Encourage density in community centers

• Identify appropriate places for high-density development

• Create connected networks of streets and walking opportunities

• Encourage commercial/mixed use development

• Adopt policies to encourage infill development

• Provide opportunities for shared parking

• Create incentive programs for developing at the zoned standard

• Provide density bonuses for including community benefits

• Foster distinctive communities with a strong sense of place

To improve efficiency of land use, SBC recommends a mixture of policies and programs that encourage density in community centers, re-use of previously developed and brownfield sites, support a mix of housing choices including affordable housing, and encourage alternative forms of community design.
