| Lane Kendig founded Lane Kendig, inc. in 1982 as an interdisciplinary firm that provided planning, plan implementation, and design consulting services to regional agencies, communities, county and local governments, and developers. Lane has experience in land use planning, growth management, housing, environmental planning, zoning and land use controls, site and land design, and impact and feasibility analyses. He has worked throughout the United States and in Saipan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. His projects include comprehensive plans and implementing regulations; zoning, subdivision, and land development regulations; and impact and management systems. He has written plans and ordinances separately and simultaneously and studied special problems concerning economic development, transportation, growth management, special zoning regulations, and open space programs, among others.
Research in the areas of land use, community character, suburban and rural design, and environmental protection is an important aspect of Lane's practice, which contributes to his ability to provide state-of-the-art land use plans and controls. Lane has developed computer programs that address land use, nonpoint source pollution, transportation and development impacts, and bufferyards. This specialized software improves the firm's internal capabilities and cost effectiveness. He is the author of Performance Zoning; Too Big, Boring, or Ugly: Planning and Design Tools to Combat Monotony, the Too-big House, and Teardowns; Traffic Sheds, Rural Highway Capacity, and Growth Management; New Standards for Nonresidential Uses (all published by the American Planning Association), as well as many articles on planning.
Lane represents both municipal and private sector clients in litigation where he has served as an expert witness in Florida, Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Texas. He and the firm are also noted for designing the Fields of Long Grove, a 160-acre conservation development honored for the Best in American Living Award from the National Association of Home Builders, Better Homes and Gardens, and Professional Builder magazines, as well as many other residential developments as commercial projects to the level of regional malls.
After 41 years of practice, Lane has stepped down as president of Kendig Keast Collaborative, but remains active with the firm as a strategic advisor available for specific projects or problem areas. He will continue writting and is working on an updated Performance Zoning book to illustrate the changes in its 35 years of use.
