A conservation subdivision design (CD) involves coordinated improvements to existing comprehensive plans, subdivision regulations, and zoning ordinances. When properly implemented, this approach offers the potential for local governments to protect interconnected networks of conservation lands by requiring significant percentages of the buildable land to be preserved, in addition to all of the constrained wetlands, floodplains, and steep slopes.
