Planning & Coding

“Really, really, really, really great job on the SmartCode, guys. It is a clean, coherent document. Thank you for all of your hard work and getting it done so efficiently. Awesome job..”--Andrew Dance, Related Companies, New York

Hall Alminana prepares planning regulations and form-based zoning codes, including the unified land development ordinance called the SmartCode, to reflect the conditions and aspirations of individual communities.

The SmartCode, developed by Duany Plater-Zyberk, is a model unified development ordinance that incorporates Smart Growth and New Urbanism principles.  Hall Alminana customizes it to regional character with the participation of local citizens. The founders of Hall Alminana are contributing editors of the SmartCode and Manual

The SmartCode was released nationally in 2003 and has already been implemented in many jurisdictions.  The principals of Hall Alminana were part of the Fisher & Hall Urban Design team that calibrated the 2003 Central Petaluma SmartCode, which was the first adopted SmartCode in the U.S., and the Gulfport SmartCode, which received the inaugural Driehaus Form-Based Codes Award from the Form-Based Code Institute in 2007.
