This student identified that the problem with typical zoning codes is that they regulate where development cannot occur, and often lack a vision of what neighborhoods should look like. Commonly, typical zone designations have different requirements such as height, setback, density, and parking. Form-based codes, on the other hand, show where development can occur and offer more cohesive development guidelines. Form-based codes allow a vision of an area to be translated into a code. The selected site for form-based code intervention is Madison Road between Ridge Avenue and Red Bank Expressway. One issue at this site is that there are seven different zoning classifications ranging from residential, commercial, and manufacturing.
This student exercised the development of a form-based code at this site by first translating existing zoning code into transect zoning code. Then he matched that with existing urban patterns and adjusted those to the desired transect. He identified nodes to sketch possible build-out development in accordance with form-based code guidelines.
