Minimizing Impacts at the Regional Level
At the regional level some of the strategies that may be adopted are:
Consider the long-term impacts when selecting a site for specific land uses
Reduce urban sprawl by using more compact development styles
Approach issues at a regional watershed scale
Modify zoning and subdivision ordinances, as necessary
Allow land use density transfers and transfer of development rights
Minimize impervious areas in zoning and design details
