What is a Form-Based Code?
Form-Based Codes are a set of rules that guide how buildings and streets should look and function in a certain area. They focus on the physical appearance and design of buildings and their surroundings, rather than just their use. These codes help create attractive and cohesive communities by ensuring that buildings fit well with each other and with the overall character of the neighborhood. They also include guidelines for things like building heights, setbacks, materials, and even the placement of windows and doors.
