  5. Form Base Code • Form based zoning regulates not the type of land use, but the form that that land use may take • Smart Growth Goal is to create Urban Villages throughout Lee County • Key element to the Urban Village is it designed on a human scale for human use, such as the ideas of the Pedestrian Shed and multi-model transportation (walking, bike, transit). i.e. Complete Street

  6. Question Does the current Euclidean zoning protect the Public’s Health, Safety and Welfare? • The SmartCode is a practical alternative • Support Smart Growth Goals
