In setting the framework for land development and redevelopment, we must focus on practices that are environmentally sound, economically vital, and that encourage livable communities – in other words, smart growth.”  \nJim Chaffin, ULI Chairman opening the Smart Growth Conference, Baltimore,  \n1998  \nPREMISE  \nThere is a growing call for new planning tools that can help local, regional and state jurisdictions deal with the impacts caused by new development – increased traffic congestion, lack of close-by affordable housing for workers, loss of working agriculture farms, and a reduced sense of community identity. For those communities experiencing significant population and job growth, there is an urgent need to respond to major development proposals that are scheduled for approval in the coming 1-3 years. Most planning regulations such as comprehensive plans and zoning codes are silent about how new projects can be developed in a way that reduces the impacts for neighbors and improves the quality of life for the larger community.  \nThe purpose of a Smart Project Scorecard (SPS) is to assist elected local officials, developers, investors, neighborhood groups and designers make better project-level decisions that achieve the Smart Growth objectives. The SPS is a tool that can help evaluate whether a particular project is advancing the long-term viability of a community or creating more impacts with little overall benefit to existing and new citizens. It could also be used to help a developer decide where to best locate particular uses, or to determine what uses are most appropriate over the long term for a particular parcel of land.  \nAs presented here, the primary function is to foster more effective communication about what the community and developer have as common objectives. The key objective is to find the intersection that integrates the community’s goals, the site’s opportunities, and the developer’s economic viability. The use of a checklist or point system can provide explicit direction if the comprehensive plan and district plans provide sufficient structure and community consensus. If the backbone planning work has not been completed, then the Scorecard can become the basis of an ongoing conversation leading to a development agreement which includes several benchmarks as common objectives.  \nCONTEXT  \nOver the past 15 years, unwise land use patterns have exponentially expanded virtually every major metropolitan area in the United States.
