Design Standards & Guidelines
Clarion Associates is a national leader in developing design standards and guidelines for all types of development. We frequently work with communities to develop compatibility standards for infill development in established neighborhoods and downtown areas and are skilled at balancing economic development and revitalization objectives with the protection of neighborhood character. Clarion’s extensive experience working with established communities helps inform and shape our approach to creating design standards for new residential, commercial, mixed-use, and employment development that are clear, easy to administer, and enhance the character of growing communities.
Our scope of talents in urban design, land-use planning, and land use law allows us to develop standards and guidelines that provide the right balance of predictability and flexibility.
