Welcome to the APA Idaho Chapter Conference!It is a pleasure to welcome you to Idaho Falls for this year’s APA Idaho annual conference. We feel this year’s theme, “Follow the Energy,” encompasses so many important issues. Whether you are faced with trying to reduce energy costs through renewable sources of power and encouraging energy efficient development practices, or whether you want to infuse your plans and projects with a little more public and political energy, this year’s conference will have something to offer you. We have worked hard to put together a conference agenda that will appeal to all of Idaho’s planners.

We feel Idaho Falls is a unique place to be talking about energy. We hope you will take time to explore the Idaho National Laboratory’s in-town facilities where researchers are studying wind, solar, and nuclear sources of power. We encourage you to participate in the Snake River Landing bike tour and see a great example of mixed-use development. Come explore our downtown and central business district which is being rejuvenated with urban renewal funds. Take your pick of a host of sessions and glean new ideas and techniques to bring back to your community. Spend time talking with planners around the state to see what others are doing to face common challenges.

APA Idaho’s mission is to bring the best information and practice in planning to each of Idaho’s communities. There is no better event in the state than the annual conference to spread that information. Thank you for being here and enjoy the conference!

Using technology in the planning process is a way to conserve energy and reach new population groups but gathering ideas from citizens is still a great way to generate excitement about planning efforts. Learn about different methods used in two communities to generate excitement about planning efforts, the pros and cons of each approach, and which method may work best for your community.

Sabrina Anderson & Renee Magee

Transforming a Street to a Temporary Community Gathering Place Teton

When a resident or a business is asked, “Where is the center of the city?” there should be no hesitation. While it may be apparent for larger communities, small cities and towns should not have this type of identity issue. Hear how Hailey, Idaho consciously promoted and developed their city’s center by transforming a street in a vibrant town square for the holiday season.

Thinking Like a Region Bannock

In order to be successful, future planning efforts must transcend jurisdictional boundaries and incorporate holistic regional planning practices to leverage technical, economic, and governmental resources. This session will describe efforts in a four-county Consortium (Madison, Fremont, and Teton Counties in Idaho and Teton County, Wyoming) to plan as a region. The consortium is a recipient of a HUD Sustainable Communities Grant. The presenters will explain how coordinating the planning efforts of cities, counties, state and federal agencies, nonprofit and business groups in a geographical region yields benefits far superior to those pursued by individual entities. The presenters will also describe technological, financial and public outreach advances for successful regional planning.

Joint Collaboration with Citizens Advisory Groups through SEED Yellowstone

Social Economic Environmental Design (SEED) is an internationally recognized third-party evaluation process and system that provides a common standard to guide, evaluate and measure the social, economic and environmental impact of design projects. The SEED process guides professionals to work alongside locals who know their community and its needs. This practice of “trusting the local” is increasingly recognized as a highly effective way to sustain the health and longevity of a place or a community as it develops. The presenters will illustrate three real-life examples of applying SEED principles while working with citizen groups.

Dan Roberts & Laura Clayton

Community Mapping: Affordable Housing, Transportation & Energy Yellowstone

Community mapping is a vibrant way of telling a neighborhood’s/community’s story. It can highlight the rich array of assets, analyze the relationship between income and the location of services, or document vacant lots and buildings. Community mapping includes an entire spectrum of maps created to support social and economic change at the community level. We will discuss how we proposed to document, monitor, and analyze neighborhood change; target resources for maximum impact; preserve existing and create new affordable housing opportunities; link development opportunities to transportation systems; analyze new community partnerships; and reform policy around neighborhood instability.

Transforming Suburbia through the General Plan Bannock

The City of South Jordan was historically a farming community with no real downtown or “Main Street.” Incorporated in 1935, the City has seen most of its growth in the past 20 years as residential development on large agricultural and lots outside of town. A new general plan and Land Use Map were adopted by the City Council in 2010, encouraging multi-modal transportation, mixed use development, a greater variety of housing, and sustainability through various goals and policies. A unique Absorption Study assessing the potential future fiscal impact of the new Land Use Map was included and a Goals/Policies/Implementation matrix was developed to track progress in researching, drafting, and adopting new ordinances. Some of the key changes included a Mixed Use Zone, an Accessory Living Ordinance, required housing integration, and various sustainable practices. This session will consider the importance of a city vision; practical goals, policies and strategies; sustainable fiscal viability; and an implementation plan.

George Shaw

Community Choices for Idaho: Idaho’s Community Program Sawtooth

Idaho Transportation Department’s (ITD) Community Choices for Idaho program provides local communities choices on how best to address local mobility and access issues, and to advance ITD’s strategic goals of mobility, safety, and economic opportunity. This unique program provides Idaho’s communities a “one-stop” portal to ITD’s alternative transportation funding programs, and provides benefits such as an annual process to solicit and tie locally-identified projects to potential funding, enhancing ITD’s ability to leverage all funding sources for locally-sponsored projects, including the MAP-21’s Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), improving project outcomes by providing technical assistance and project vetting, and providing communities with technical resources to help prioritize and meet their needs.

Ted Vanegas & Maureen Gresham



The Politics of Planning Bannock

Why do elected officials sometimes ignore planners’ recommendations? Planning takes place in a political environment. Planners and citizens need to know this and be aware of such intangibles in the planning process as the dynamics of political considerations, group dynamics, and how to deal with them effectively.

Wilford Sommerkorn

The presentation will close with an opportunity for questions and dialogue with audience members.

Allison Mouch & Anne Cossitt

Asset-Based Assessment of Regional Wood-based Biofuels Industry Potential

Yellowstone

Asset development in regions can be traced to the investment of existing assets in strategies and projects that build additional assets across the region. When those resources or assets are invested to create new resources, they become capital. For example, unutilized residuals from saw log harvests may be a liability because of wildfire risk. When assessing potential development of a biofuels or bioenergy industry, this material may be viewed as an asset to the industry. But when invested in becoming feedstock for the new products and industries, this biomass now becomes a capital. We apply this conceptual approach to a diverse set of assets such as education programs, investment opportunities, skilled workforce, and existing infrastructure. We’ll highlight work conducted through the Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance (NARA) on wood-based biofuels supply chains in the Western Montana Corridor, which includes northeast Washington, northern Idaho and western Montana.

Dr. Tammi Laninga & Michelle Vachon

It’s the Way You Do It: Hearing Procedures Bannock

Idaho’s 2013 legislative session brought about the passage of Senate Bill 1138 establishing some new standards for land use ordinances, for quasi-judicial decisions, and for appeals to the courts. Follow up conversations prompted recognition that the requirements of Idaho Code §67-6534 calling for adoption of local hearing procedures are not universally being complied with. The presentation/panel participation will consist of explaining SB1138 (including its background) and working through a prototype hearing procedures resolution that could be adapted and adopted by counties and cities.

Freight and Community Development Sawtooth

Explore the relationship between freight and community development through presentations and a panel discussion. The session includes an overview of the Idaho Freight Study—the culmination of a year-long statewide planning effort that resulted in six key recommendations, including strengthening the relationship between freight and economic development, followed by presentations from local government staff in three Idaho communities on balancing freight needs and community development goals. A 20-minute open panel discussion will be facilitated by the State Freight Coordinator. At the end of the session, attendees will be asked to answer a survey designed to gather input that will be used to define community priorities for state assistance (i.e. would local communities rather the state do an engineering workshop versus data collection versus land use policy tool box development?).

Maureen Gresham, Kerri Ellis, Bonnie Harper & Jeremy Peirsol

Recreation Planning in the West: Lessons Learned Teton

Effective recreation planning can lead to great things: creation of public parks and open space, easement reservations connecting neighborhoods to wild lands, and higher quality of life and population health. Building partnerships and being sensitive to property rights is vital to successful endeavors. Hear stories from planners working directly on creating, maintaining and managing recreation spaces.

Intro to GIS ET+ Implementation in a Rural Setting Yellowstone

Evaluating the complex potential impacts of today’s land-use and transportation decisions can be a daunting task. Increasingly, planners use computer models to take advantage of the large amounts of data available today and generate scenarios of alternative future directions, (Planning for Forever). Similarly, developers and lenders use models to assess the financial viability of projects. Envision Tomorrow, one of the leading planning software tools currently in use, is being expanded and enhanced through collaboration between Fregonese Associates, the original developer of Envision Tomorrow, and the University of Utah’s Metropolitan Research Center. This session will provide a brief introduction to the planning software through the lens of implementation in a rural setting. Presenters will describe a case study using the GIS ET+ software in Northern Utah’s Cache County. They will describe the process, results of the analysis and how using the GIS ET+ We’ll also address the feasibility of using GIS ET+ with limited staff and the importance of collaboration to maximize applicability and ease of use in a way that can be of benefit to rural and small towns.

Planning for Successful Planning & Planning Education in Idaho Sawtooth

This session looks at planning in the context of the West. The basic premise is that simply adopting best planning practices and planning curricula from other places is not going to cut it and that we need a planning approach and a planning education that builds on the historical strengths of the West, focused on place and planning narrative.

Protecting Your Source Water: Local Ordinance Techniques Teton

Regardless of existing or proposed land use patterns, every comprehensive plan should recognize that almost every productive use of land relies upon a usable water supply to meet human needs and to foster a thriving economy. Communities must include protection of this critical resource and planning to meet future needs. Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has been working with diverse partners to develop source water protection tools and templates that can be easily applied and modified to work in most Idaho communities. Jerry Mason, land use attorney and legal counsel for the Association of Idaho Cities, will discuss and present a land use/public health ordinance template that provides a workable approach adaptable to most local circumstances. IDEQ’s Flint Hall will discuss a variety of tools and technical resources available to support action to protect drinking water sources. Amy Verbeten will discuss implementation of these tools via a case study overview of a county-wide source water protection plan in Teton County, Idaho. The session will end with a panel discussion, in which participants are encouraged to ask specific questions about how to implement source water protection efforts in their own communities.
