"Lazy Man Planning" benefits developer (From the experts at CNU XIV)

DateFriday, June 16, 2006 at 01:00AM

Traditional street grids, including alleys, provide greater marketplace flexibility for developers. David Pace, developer of Baldwin Park, refers to it as “Lazy-Man Planning.” With a 120’ deep block structure, he can vary the lot WIDTH as needed for whatever product happens to be most marketable at a given moment in time. He is able to sell a variety of house types, townhouses, live-work units, or apartment buildings all designed to fit the 120’ depth.
