Coastal Smart Growth Home: Getting Started: Development Incentives
DEVELOPMENT INCENTIVES
Development incentives are regulatory, market, or economic inducements to make it more attractive to develop in a certain fashion or location that promotes sustainability and smart growth approaches (e.g., building infill developments or redeveloping in areas that are already developed rather than building in areas that are currently open space).
How to Get Started

The Municipal Research & Services Center of Washington prepared a publication that details a variety of infill development strategies. The publication describes the strategies, successful applications of the strategies, and related policy issues.

Equitable Development Toolkit: Infill Incentives
PolicyLink's Equitable Development Toolkit includes a basic overview of infill development and associated incentives.
Infill Development Standards and Policy Guide [draft]
