NEWS OF INTEREST TO OUR MEMBERS
Understanding and Developing Pocket Neighborhoods presented by ULI Oklahoma

This half day course will focus on what it takes to permit, design and develop a pocket neighborhood. You will learn start to finish how it can be done and what methods will help get you started. Today's zoning codes make this type of development illegal with variances or special exceptions. This course will explain what cities can do to make development like this permittable making it applicable for designers, planners, engineers and developers wanting to understand cottage courts/pocket neighborhoods. 
4 hours of HSW credit to attendees.
