I thought this thread was for urban planning, not architecture. Anybody have interesting zoning codes to share? I'll start:
>"International" Zoning Code (actually just USA)https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IZC2021P1>SmartCodehttps://transect.org/codes.htmlSmartCode seems kind of cool. The comparison of parking requirements in pic related (SmartCode on top, IZC on bottom) should explain why fairly well.
>SmartCode: Denser areas (T5 = urban center, T6 = urban core) will have more walking, bicycling, and mass transit, so they need fewer parking spaces than less-dense areas (T2 = rural, T3 = sub-urban, T4 = general urban)>IZC: Parking requirements do not vary based on zone>SmartCode: If a parking space serves two different uses, then the requirement can be reduced--e. g., if the same parking is used for a hotel and an office building, then the final requirement is reduced to less than 60 percent of usual (1/1.7)>IZC: Parking requirement always is the sum of all served uses
