The City of Tampa's
Land Development Coordination Division is currently in the
process of working with identified planning areas throughout the City to develop
form based codes. This aspect of the City's Community Planning Program began in
February 2008. For a brief overview of the program read the
City of Tampa Community Planning through
Form Based Codes Programs Brochure.
"Form-based codes address the relationship between building
facades and the public realm, the form and mass of buildings
in relation to one another, and the scale and types of streets
and blocks." Form Based Codes Institute
