San Gabriel, CA
The Project. Promote development practices that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly by integrating sustainability principles throughout the Zoning Code by identifying and removing unintended regulatory barriers and crafting amendments offering incentives, greater flexibility, and more clarity in requirements.
The Result. The City of San Gabriel first identified what “sustainability” meant to the City and its citizens, recognizing that to be successful, the project needed to reflect the needs of the community. Six key areas of sustainability were addressed through Zoning Code Amendments:
Landscaping and water conservation,
Open space,
Parking, mobility, and connectivity,
Water quality,
Resource conservation, and
Urban agriculture.
