Addressing Imperviousness in Plans, Site Design and Land Use Regulations. NEMO Technical Paper #1. 1998. Written by land use planner and NEMO Co-Director Jim Gibbons for professional planners and land use commissioners, this paper contains detailed suggestions about how to cope with impervious surfaces and stormwater runoff in comprehensive plans, zoning and subdivision regulations and local ordinances. It's Connecticut-specific, but much of it will be useful in other parts of the country. |
