EXISTING CONDITIONS 2015 The design implementation in Kinsman happens on multiple scales. To begin, traditional zoning is conceptualized and changed to include more detailed information about what kinds of zones can become working forest for economic benefit.

2020

Once the necessary areas are zoned and given the policy base needed to implement important landscape changes, the landuse plans can be put into place.

2025

Three new categories of landuse are born in Kinsman. Source, flex and firm. These three landuse categories apply to the working forest specifically but can be edited and molded to fit any economic, social, or environmentally beneficial temporal parcel plan. The working forest infill applied through these three lenses creates a strong scaffolding from which Kinsman can grow.
