[Community_garden] urban gardens - zoning

[Hannah Laurison]

Mary,

Planning for Healthy Places just released a toolkit on How to Create and
Implement Healthy General Plans
(http://healthyplanning.org/toolkit_healthygp.html).  You can find
specific language on community gardens here:

http://healthyplanning.org/healthygp_toolkit/HealthyGP_SectionIV.pdf.

 

I would also encourage you to take a look at Portland's Diggable City
report: http://www.diggablecity.org/dcp_finalreport_PSU.pdf, which
contains a good summary of how cities have addressed urban agriculture.

 

Best wishes,

Hannah

I am looking for examples of "best practice" local zoning codes and/or

legislation that allow for/facilitate urban gardening.  Can anyone refer

me?
