The Definitive Guide to Land Development-Every Detail, Every Issue, Every Setting

Land Development Handbook provides a step-by-step approach to any type of project, from rural greenfield development to suburban infill to urban redevelopment. With the latest information regarding green technologies and design, the book offers you a comprehensive look at the land-development process as a whole, as well as a thorough view of individual disciplines. Plus, a bonus color insert reveals the extent to which land development projects are transforming our communities!

This all-in-one guide provides in-depth coverage of:

* Environmental issues from erosion and sediment control and stormwater management to current regulatory controls for plan approval, permitting, and green building certification
* Comprehensive planning and zoning including new development models for mixed-use, transit-oriented, and conservation developments
* Enhanced approaches to community and political consensus building
* Technical design procedures for infrastructure components including roads and utilities with a new section on dry utilities
* Surveying tools and techniques focusing on the use of GPS and GIS to collect, present, and preserve data throughout the design process
* Plan preparation, submission, and processing with an emphasis on technologies available-from CAD modeling and design to electronic submissions, permit processing, and tracking

Subjects include:

* Planning and zoning
* Real Property Law
* Engineering Feasibility
* Environmental Regulations
* Rezoning
* Conceptual and Schematic Design
* Development Patterns
* Control, Boundary, and Topographical Surveys
* Historic Assessment and Preservation
* Street and Utility Design
