4 Top Priorities for the CONNECT Region Parks & Open Space More Transportation Choices Support Our Communities Support Local Farms Cost of Providing Services Improved Water Quality Improved Air Quality Work Closer to Home More Housing Choices Cost of My Commute 4

5 Open Houses ULI Realty Check Community Workshops Consensus-Building Values Growth Character Evaluate Population & Employment Growth Projections Why plan? Local Values Brainstorming Session General Growth Themes Population & Employment Centers Hot Spots for Growth How do we want to grow as a community? Influenced by Community Plans / Citizen Vision Build Alternative Growth Scenarios Growth Scenario Report Cards Public Feedback & Polling Scenario Planning Initiative 5

6 Alternative Growth Scenarios Maintain Suburban Focus Follow Community Plans Grow Cities, Towns, Centers & Transit Focus on Regional Transportation 6

7 Option 1: Maintain Suburban Focus 7

8 Option 2: Follow Community Plans 8

9 Option 3: Grow Cities, Towns, Centers and Transit 9

10 Option 4: Focus on Regional Transportation 10

11 Regional Preferred Growth Concept What does this mean to us? Major (re)investment in walkable downtowns, mixed-use activity centers, walkable neighborhoods & major transit corridors More housing choices, travel choices, open space/farmland preservation & job centers More efficient service areas for providing local government services 11

12 Local Tools Land Uses To Support: Job Growth and Innovation Transportation/Access Housing Choice Local Government Return on Investment Quality of Life for all Ages 12

30 CONNECT Data Carrying Capacity Analysis Development Status Assignments Land Suitability Analysis Calculations Place Type Assignments & Build-Out Estimates Growth Allocation The area of a parcel identified with one or more development constraints (e.g., SWIM buffers, recorded easements, etc.). These areas are off the table for allocating new growth in subsequent phases of the model. The assignment of development status to parcels in CommuntyViz tells the model which set of equations to use for estimating development yield (build-out potential), and whether new growth is allowed in the parcel. LSA measures the attractiveness of individual parcels to accommodate new development. Physical features prevalent in the study area were layered on a parcel map, and calculations performed to determine either percent overlap or physical proximity (as appropriate) for each of the physical features in relation to the individual parcels. A numeric score between was used to rank parcels in the study area from least- to most-suitable for development. Place types were used to describe land use and urban form characteristics in the study area. Build-out potential estimates the development yield for each parcel based on it s assigned development status, place type, & values assumed in the general development lookup table. Values generated for build-out potential become the supply for allocating future year growth in the study area. Growth allocation was performed using build-out potential and land suitability statistics calculated for parcels in the study area. CommunityViz used a bottom-up approach.
