| Completed | 2.7.6 | Survey local developers about what incentives would be most effective in creating more sustainable projects and study major metro areas to learn how they exceed their local standards for sustainable design. |
Vivian Jaynes, a Memphis-native, completed this strategy as part of her master’s project in City and Regional Planning at UNC-Chapel Hill. Read her recommendations and case studies here. |
| Initial Stage | 2.7.7 | The UDC should include incentives, such as density bonuses, when green roofs are included in a development plan. |
Incentives can be explored. Since density maximums are not included in the UDC, a density bonus would not necessarily be an incentive. |
