Better Models for Commercial Development is a one-of-a-kind publication that shows how communities can improve the design and siting of new commercial development. This booklet was written for elected officials, planning commissioners, developers and interested citizens around the country. Better Models shows how new commercial development can be made more attractive, more efficient and more profitable.

Through extensive use of photos and illustrations, Better Models focuses on ways to improve the quality and design of franchises, chain stores and big box retailers. Whether it is a new fast food restaurant, a gas station, a convenience store, a chain drug store or a big box superstore, this booklet shows how new commercial development can be designed to respect local community character and identity.
