The Coalition for Smart Growth will present a Form Based Codes Public Forum on Thursday, February 23rd
at the Lancaster Co. Public Safety Training Center along Route 283, Salunga. Doors will open for registration and
networking at 5:30 p.m. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. This forum is presented free of charge.

Form-based codes use physical form, rather than separation of land uses, as their organizing principle. Learn how these codes work, legal issues to consider when developing these codes, and the expected outcomes from the local planning experts. Several local communities have adopted or are in the process of implementing form-based codes within their
zoning regulations.

Mark Evans, of the PP AIA Town Planning Partnership will provide the keynote address. A panel consisting of Karen Weibel, Lititz Borough Council President; Dave Kratzer, Penn Township Manager; Matt Creme, Land Use Attorney with Nikolaus & Hohenadel and President of the PA Bar Association; and Thomas Comitta, President of Thomas Comitta Associates, Town Planners and Landscape Architects will discuss the development and use of the codes and answer questions.
