In addition to a visual view of the buildout, a variety of impacts for each type of development can be simulated. We have assembled a list of "indicators".
Our Indicators
|
Impervious surface. Fletcher's Folly (traditional zoning) has more than twice the road, parking lot and rooftop surface area than alternative zoning. More... |
|
Housing/Population. The number of housing units and hence population size is actually greater under the alternate zoning model at buildout. More... |
|
Vehicle Miles Travelled. Vehicle miles travelled is much greater under the traditional zoning buildout. More... |
|
Nitrogen. The amount of nitrogen runoff into the water system (pounds per year) is three times greater under a traditional zoning buildout compared to the alternative zoning. More... |
|
Lead. The amount of lead runoff (pounds per year) is three times greater under a traditional zoning buildout compared to the alternative zoning. More... |
