Oregon - A light rail system was developed in the Portland (Oregon) metropolitan area during the 1980s and 1990s. As the system expanded into suburban areas, several TOD's (transit-oriented developments) were created to maximize the density around the light rail stations. Some of the more important TOD's are the Sunset Transit Center, the Beaverton Central Mixed Use Project, the Murray West Master Plan, and Orenco Station. Interim development regulations were created early in the planning process in order to prevent low-density "sprawl" from taking root in these areas, as this might have prevented the desired higher densities and walkability from being achieved. Within a few years, more longterm ordinances, plans and programs were put in place to bring about compact, dense, pedestrian-friendly TOD's.
Washington - Located in Washington, San Juan County is a coastal island community. While long-range planning was in progress during 2002-2004, there was a need for immediate short-term restrictions on development in certain locations. Therefore interim development regulations were created for "village and hamlet activity centers."

Task 1 Report: Land Use Problems and Issues in Rural Georgia
This report was the first major work product of DCA's original Alternatives to Conventional Zoning project and was included as an appendix in the first iteration of the Model Code. It provides a thorough analysis of the major land-use management issues, the primary problems with land-development, and the largest impediments to effective regulation faced by local governments across the state. Please note that any code sections mentioned in this document correspond to a version of the Model Code which is no longer available on the web; but, the analysis and discussion contained therein remains highly informative and useful.

Task 2 Report: Alternative Land Use Management Techniques
This report was the second major work product of DCA's original Alternatives to Conventional Zoning project and was included as an appendix in the first iteration of the Model Code. "The Task 2 Report" identifies, describes, and evaluates new and alternative approaches to land-use management and land-development that are being implemented by local governments from across the State of Georgia and the nation. It discusses their potential use in addressing the problems and issues associated with regulation those activities in rural Georgia. Please note that any code sections mentioned in this document correspond to a version of the Model Code which is no longer available on the web; but, the analysis and discussion contained therein remains highly informative and useful.
