Accepted by the Executive Board Association of Bay Area Governments March 1994 MENU OF SUBREGIONAL LAND USE POLICIES The following “menu” of subregional land use policies is designed to encourage consideration of a wide range of possible approaches and policy choices while allowing them to be tailored to individual subregions. The individual policies are intended as generic examples that could be modified to suit local conditions. Sub-headings are included for convenience, to group policies that address similar issues. Local officials are encouraged to mix and modify policies in this menu, and to incorporate their own innovations in developing a comprehensive strategy that meets the diverse needs and desires of their subregion. Policies are arranged in three categories: Basic, Moderate, and Dynamic. The Basic category presents policies which, if adopted by a subregion, would indicate that local jurisdictions are “on-board” in fostering a comprehensive conservation and development strategy. The Moderate category includes policies that would commit localities to pursue innovative approaches to coordinated conservation and development. The Dynamic category includes policies that call for a creative and significant commitment to interjurisdictional land use coordination.
Developed by the Regional Planning Committee of the Association of Bay Area Governments. For more information, contact CEil Scandone at (510)464-7970.
