1	Smart sprawl : an examination of successful conservation development ordinances and practices and recommendations for Central Texas McCarthy, Meghan Joyce 20 November 2013 (has links) This report is not intended to argue how sprawl is to be stopped. Infill development is too limited to support the growth cities are expecting, and with a market of buyers who desire to live outside of the city and own a little piece of the country, can there really be an end to sprawl? Rather, this report identifies a method of sprawling smartly: conservation development. As an alternative to conventional subdivision, conservation subdivision developments perpetually preserve a significant portion— usually half—of the development site as open space. This report examines the conservation subdivision ordinances that municipalities have adopted as an alternative or, in some cases, to replace conventional subdivision regulations, and the strategies they exercise that affect a change in the way we sprawl. / text Sprawl Conservation Conservation subdivision Zoning Subdivisions
2	A Community That Is Like Family: Conservation Subdivision Residents' Perceptions of their Neighborhood Lucius, Jamie Elizabeth 11 May 2013 (has links) Conservation subdivisions offer an alternative to large-lot residential developments along the urban fringe. These developments pride themselves on protecting ecologically sensitive land and providing an improved quality of life for residents. As suggested by Randall Arendt (1996), these goals are achieved by clustering homes on one portion of the site, while “half or more of the buildable land area is designated as undivided, permanent open space.” In order to gain information about the priorities and motivations of conservation subdivision residents in the Southeast United States, a survey was administered to homeowners within five conservation subdivisions. The results from this study revealed that open space, improved quality of life, and a strengthened community were important in each community. Additionally, homeowner satisfaction is prevalent among conservation subdivision residents. Lastly, demographic characteristics of these communities were analyzed. Recommendations are made for landscape architects and planning professionals for the future development of conservation subdivisions. Resident satisfactions Land use planning Conservation subdivision
