Collins & Schoettler prepares zoning ordinances that are "user-friendly". To accomplish this objective, each zoning ordinance is formatted, written and illustrated so that it is easy to understand and use. Techniques used include the use of over-sized type, flow-diagrams and numerous illustrations.

Collins & Schoettler has also developed an innovative Zoning Brochure system. This system converts the zoning ordinance into brochures that are used at the public counter. Collins & Schoettler can design your community a new zoning code to incorporate smart-growth techniques. Front porches, recessed parking, and pedestrian-oriented development are but a few of the features that can be incorporated into your new zoning ordinance.
