DescriptionLocationInstructors A community functions best with homes for all incomes, jobs, schools, open space, desirable destinations and services, and different ways to get there--by foot, bicycle, public transit, or auto. But a well-functioning community doesn't happen by accident. It takes knowledge of the process cities use to create a vision for their future and nuts-and-bolts of implementation. The Planning & Zoning Resource: Advocating for Your Community's Future class teaches REALTORS: The basic process of community planning and zoning. State-of-the-art community planning concepts that they can apply. How to get their community to live up to its potential. What is needed to make their community a better place to live and do business. The value and benefits of smart growth neighborhoods to homebuyers and communities. How they can help make smart growth possible. Plan to take one of ACAR's Commercial Forum tours later this year. The tours are great examples of planning and zoning in action! 6 hours c.e. approved; this course is an ABR elective; offered classroom-style; no virtual option.
