High energy costs and increased public support for sustainable initiatives are driving local governments to respond affirmatively with the adoption of green codes – local ordinances that mandate and incentivize more efficient forms of development. Unfortunately, there are few good models to follow and little operating experience to judge what works and what will not. There is an obvious need for real world, practical, and proven approaches to reaching achievable and sustainable local controls.
This OnDemand Webinar will equip local planners and elected and appointed officials with the necessary tools to conceptualize, draft, enact, and self-critique a green land use code. We start with the basics about what such a code is expected to do. Then, we move to the principles of planning and drafting, with a focus on operational examples. The faculty will point out those provisions that have been shown to be effective and what participants should avoid. The concluding section drives hard into the end product, the enactment, and the critical follow up and recalibration of the code.

"While the presentation was excellent, the convenience was outstanding. I downloaded the seminar to my ipod and listened to the whole course during a flight. I obtained 6 hours of ethics credits with no problem and without missing a beat! I highly recommend these seminars to attorneys in states that recognize Advantage."
— Michael Flanagan, Esq.
"I very much enjoyed listening to your course as, unlike other Ethics courses I have attended over my 41 years at the Kennedy Space Center, it focused on actual situations the speaker had dealt with and how the attorney's first responsibility is to his client and not to how much fee he can generate."
— Douglas G. Hendriksen, Esq.
Chief Counsel
Kennedy Space Center
