Regrowth Planning is committed to providing municipalities with a diverse set of tools to help find your community vision, determine ways to strengthen community character and inspire private re-investment.

Zoning Codes

Regrowth Planning provides zoning review services; zoning audits and proposed local law zoning code updates for municipalities. Modern zoning codes today can be designed in a richly-illustrated and easy to read format which provides a clear and user-friendly document for applicants and review boards alike.

Community Planning

Regrowth Planning can assist your community with developing strategic master plans for neighborhood revitalization, farmland and open space protection, and long-term comprehensive town plans,

Design Guidelines

Richly illustrated design standards and photographic design guidelines help a community steer future growth and development toward the character it desires. Regrowth Planning maintains a photographic library of thousands of architectural and site planning photo examples from across New England to review and discuss.

 

Form-based Codes

Regrowth Planning develops custom zoning codes which proactively describe the desired architectural size, scale and form for new construction to create the desired neighborhood character. Most useful in denser, urban environments, form-based codes emphasize form and function while giving flexibility in many uses.

Public Outreach & Engagement

Every community planning project deserves a robust toolkit to collaborate and discuss ideas. Regrowth Planning prefers to use a variety of outreach mediums to connect with a diverse audience

 

Workshops & Charrettes

Arranging and facilitating public meetings, interactive workshops, design charrettes and focus group interviews to give the public a voice in the community vision.

Community Surveys

Designing and deploying community surveys—either online or in hardcopy paper format—to provide information and measure public support for different options.

Virtual Meetings

Arranging and facilitating public meetings in a secure, online format with interactive polling reaches a wider audience despite social distancing.

Videos & Social Media

Development of quality videos and social media content to spread the word about your effort and build local interest.

Digital & Print Advertising

Regrowth Planning can develop digital and print advertising materials to announce upcoming public meetings, events, surveys and presentations. Paid digital advertising through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter can be geo-targeted to people in the municipality to help increase awareness and participation.

Visualization Services

 

Computer Renderings

Computer modeling can be used to accurately visualize the look and feel of future policy changes, including building height studies, viewshed analysis, exterior lighting, solar access or to assess the specific visual result of a proposed development project.

 

Photo Simulations

Mixing real photographs with detailed computer models, accurate photo simulations can be used to help visualize a new community project, compare visual impacts of different options, or measure the potential effects of proposed changes.

 

Before > After Photo Simulations

 

Photo simulations help to provide realistic renderings of future development so that a community can better visualize and understand potential future changes. These can be used to support facade improvement programs; visualize proposed development; or test different building heights and setbacks for zoning.

Informational Videos

Developing and broadcasting informational videos—which can be viewed by the public at their leisure—provides them the opportunity to attend a large public meeting from the comfort of their home, when it is most convenient to them. Likewise, tuning into a live presentation being broadcast on Zoom or YouTube has become an increasingly popular.
