ZONING 101:- A Practical Introduction

Previously published by the National League of Cities, this book will enable you to put everything related to zoning in context. As stated in the book's Introduction by renown Land Use Attorney Dwight H. Merriam, FAICP, this book is "essential reading for every citizen who is interested in understanding this important aspect of the operation of their local government.... ZONING 101 will turn the novice into an expert, and reinforce an expert's understanding of ... the seven basic elements that form the center of the universe for all zoning ordinances." The Connecticut Conference of Municipalities finds it "written in a concise, easy-to-read style, the primer introduces and explains the basic philosophy, and administration of modern zoning ordinances. The book is designed to be accessible and informative for busy local elected officials, as well be a handy reference tool for staff professionals, especially in smaller communities with limited personnel and resources for planning and zoning. The book features a section on "the seven basic elements of zoning," and a glossary. Other focuses include applications processing, planned unit developments, overlay zones, subdivisions, performance zoning, and enforcement procedures. There also are practical tips on how to tackle difficult zoning situations and ways to involve the public in a positive manner on zoning issues." The author also wrote a guide published by the International City/County Management Association entitled "Establishing Effective Citizens Advisory Committees."

Very helpful. Explains zoning very clearly. Wish I'd had it when I started in Zoning. A must-read for anyone needing a quick lesson in zoning.

Excellent book. Very easy to read. Provides a practical and clear introduction to basic zoning principles. It is a useful documents for inexperience lay person not familiar with the basic components of a zoning ordinance.

WAY overpriced and info contained within is old and not relevant in most instances. This book is roughly half the size of an issue of Readers Digest and along that frame of mind...would you pay $25 for an issue of Readers Digest? Call me dumb because I did but cost as it might be what I will do with each and every page of this obsolete and grossly overpriced book is to line my bird cages with it. There you have it folks sh** paper for my birds.
