Responsibilities• Performed data analysis and extrapolated conclusions on development patterns in LCI areas for the 2013 Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) Implementation Report

2013 LCI Implementation Report Highlights

• 79 out 109 LCI areas completed and return the Development Inventory portion of the survey

• LCI areas make up 5% of the total land area within 15 counties;however, account for a large amount of development within these counties.• 1,699 developments were reported since

the beginning of the LCI program in 1999. • LCI areas account for 7% of housing units, 24% of commercial square footage, and 38% of office square footage

Mixed-use development can take on various forms. In urban and CBD areas it typically means that multiple uses are contained within a single building (e.g. retail on the bottom floor, office and residential above), while in less urban or suburban areas it may mean a mix of land uses adjacent to each other within the same district, neighborhood or development. Mixed use development helps to create safe, walkable, communities by locating retail, ser-vices, schools and other uses in close proximity to residences thereby making automobile trips unnecessary (for most trips).

The Atlanta region is a collection of vibrant neighborhoods and places that people and businesses want to call home. Over the last decade, many of these communities have improved the quality of life for their residents with help from the Livable Centers Initiative (LCI).

LCI was created by the Atlanta Regional Commission in 1999 to reduce vehicle emissions and help the region meet stringent federal air quality standards by providing travel options other than driving. Through grants, LCI encourages local jurisdictions to implement development strategies that link residents to shopping, dining and other activities via sidewalks and bike trails, rather than strictly by roads. The program has become popular and, during the last 14 years,Number and Types of Funded Studies per Year

has grown to include 109 communities.

LCI communities receive an initial grant to study and plan their town center, activity center or corridor. Once their plan is complete and adopted, the area is eligible for additional money that enables them to conduct supplemental studies of specific issues or to design and build transportation projects identified in their LCI study.

Every two years, ARC conducts a survey of all active LCI communities in an attempt to measure the success and effectiveness of the program. This document is a summary of the 2012 survey results. The full report can be found at www.atlantaregional.com/lci.

Local governments and non-profit organizations are eligible for LCI grants. The program has three primary goals for its funding:• Encourage a diversity of mixed-income residential neighborhoods, employment, shopping and recreation choices in activity centers, town centers and corridors.

• Provide access to a range of travel modes including transit, roadways, walking and biking to enable access to all uses within the study area.

• Develop an outreach process that promotes the involvement of all stakeholders.

2013 LCI Implementation Highlights

The 2004 LCI Implementation Report states that 46 respondents to the Development Inventory survey reported that 28,000 housing units, 5,000 hotel units, 5.0 million square feet of commercial space, and 22.8 million square feet of office space would be developed as a result of 361 projects funded by LCI communities. The 2013 LCI Implementation Report reports that 79 of 109 existing LCIs responded to the Development Inventory survey. The LCIs reported that 73,000 housing units, 9,100 hotel units, 22.2 million square feet of commercial space, and 35 million square feet of office space would be developed as a result of 1,700 development projects.

10-Year Growth



Atlanta Region Market Analysis• Researched demographic, social, and economic data related to TOD and affordable housing in the 10-county region• Designed six one-pagers using Adobe InDesign and ArcGIS to illustrate the need and effect of the cost burden on the low to moderate income population• Researched best practices to assess the effect expiring vouchers place on affordable housing

People who live or work in communities with high quality public transit tend to drive significantly less and rely more on alternative modes of transportation contributing to many health benefits.Neighborhood design features that support transit, such as walkability and mixed land use, also support public health. Health benefits of transit-oriented neighborhoods include increased physical fitness, improved mental health, improved basic access to medical care and healthy food and reduced traffic crashes and pollution emissions.¹

Public Transit Accessibility Improves Physical Fitness

Public Transit Improves Health

Nearly half of Americans do not meet the Surgeon General’s recommendation of 30 minutes of physical activity daily. Walking to public transit has proven to help transit users meet their daily physical activity recommendations.²

Through the LCI program, ARC continues to implement accessibility improvements such as sidewalks, multi-use trails and bicycle lanes to expand transportation alternatives and enhance mobility.Construction of the Beltline, a 22-mile network of multi-use trails that encompasses much of Atlanta, has created the potential to reconnect 45 neighborhoods through alternative modes of transportation.Atlanta’s PATH Foundation has developed 25 miles of greenway trails connecting the city’s communities. The Silver Comet Trail is a 61.5 mile long trail that is used for hikers and bikers, walkers, and is also wheelchair accessible. 5

Development Opportunities Around Transit

Identifying development opportunities located within a half-mile of transit stations is essential for creating equitable transit-oriented development (TOD). It is equally important to provide incentives that promote development.

Real estate, Employment, and Travel Patterns Warrant TOD in Our Region

Our transit stations are assets to our region. Atlanta has the opportunity in our town centers, retail districts, urban areas and employment centers to provide a compact, connected, and walkable mix of uses: housing, work, civic, retail, jobs, and services with rich transportation options.

Housing diversity near Atlanta transit station areas is lagging

8% of Fulton / DeKalb combined4.4 housing units per acre5:1 jobs for every housing unit

64,000 households•

7% of Fulton / DeKalb population33% Generation Y / Millennial 64% Singles

114,700 population•

Transit areas are major employment and commercial nodes

Rehabilitated .4 miles from Edgewood Candler station using NSP funds, the Retreat at Edgewood represents affordable housing near transit.


All data extrapolated as a result of an analysis completed by the Bleakly Advisory Group and compiled by Tunnell , Spangler, Walsh and Associates PICTURES AND MAPS: clatl.com; US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration

Decatur Marta Station represents mixed-use TOD. Of the area located within a half-mile, 39.2% is residential and 30.9% is commercial.

Transit-Oriented Development and Economic Opportunity

The efficiency, quality, and cost of our region’s transit network affects workers’ ability to access job opportunities. Transit also attracts companies that depend on transit to increase quality of life for their employees.


1. Tomer et al., Missed Opportunity: Transit and Jobs in Metropolitan America, in Metropolitan Infrastructure Initiative Series and Meterpolitan Opportunity Series 2011, Brooking Institute. p. 1-64.; 2. Goodman, P., Unemployment Problem Includes Public Transportation That Separates Poor From Jobs 2012; 3. American Community Survey 2007 - 2011; 4. Center for Transit-Oriented Development. 2011, May. Transit-Oriented Development and Employment. PICTURES and MAPS: Source - Neighborhood Nexus

The Atlanta region has experienced employment decentralization. Concentrating employment in a few subareas will be important for determining future potential for connecting job centers with transit.

Access to Employment in the Atlanta Region is Lacking

The map above illustrates the proximity of federally assisted housing units to the region’s dense employment clusters.

A typical household in the Atlanta region with a median income of $58,390 spends an average of $14,305 in transportation costs annually. That’s $1,192 per month, ranking Atlanta 44th out of the nation’s 51 largest metros.

Working families in the Atlanta region with incomes between $20,000 and $50,000 spend 61% of their yearly budget on housing and transportation costs.

Working families who live in downtown Atlanta neighborhoods, take almost twice as long to commute to their jobs by public transit as by private car.

Housing near TOD Employment Centers in the Region

3.4% of jobs are accessible by a 45 minute trip on transit7.9% of jobs are accessible by a 60 minute trip on transit

38% of our region is covered by transit, by both rail and bus service

21.7% of jobs are accessible by a 90 minute trip on transit (nat’l avg: 30%)

Atlanta ranks 91st of 100 largest metro regions for job access via public transportation.

5.9% of households do not have a car.

One in 10 low-income residents relies on some form of public transportation to get to work.

Investing in quality public transit helps facilitate greater job density, thus creating job centers. Employers can benefit if housing choices are available for workers with a wide range of incomes.

Many low-income workers depend on public transportaion to get to work. This map illustrates the geographic mismatch facing the region.

Percentage of Low-skilled Jobs to Percentage of Low-skilled Workers

Proximity of Private Affordable Housing to Employment Centers

As economies and opportunity decentralize, a`spatial mismatch’ has arisen between jobs and people in metropolitan America. Inner-city workers are cut off from suburban labor market opportunities, and are forced to spend a large share of their incomes on owning cars and other transportation costs. Public transportation is becoming imperative to people and attractive to companies.

Needs and Tools to Preserve Affordable Housing

The Atlanta region is the second fastest growing metropolitan area in the nation, with a current population of about 4.1 million people. As population and economic growth increase, local governments like Atlanta are looking for ways to prevent displacement of lower to middle-income residents and provide long-term affordable housing options.

A typical household in the Atlanta region with a median income of $58,390 spends an average of $14,305 in transportation costs annually. That’s $1,192 per month, ranking Atlanta 44th out of the nation’s 51 largest metros.¹30% of typical households in the Atlanta region with median income of $58,390, spend over 30% of their yearly income on housing and 80% spend more than 45% of their yearly income on housing and transportation costs.

Working families in the Atlanta region with incomes between $20,000 and $50,000 spend 61% of their yearly budget on housing and transportation costs.²

Atlanta Mitigates Displacement and Preserves Affordable Housing

Housing is considered affordable if it costs no more than 30% of the monthly household income for rent and utilities and no more than 45% of housing and transportation costs. Policies are needed to preserve and create affordable housing.


Market demand for the number of households likely to be looking to rent or buy housing near transit will increase to 14.6 million households by 2025 and 15.2 million households by 2030, with just under 229,000 in Atlanta³

This map illustrates housing and transportation costs as a percent of income. In the Atlanta region, most people spend over 45% of their income on housing and transportation costs.

MARTA applies a 20% affordable housing policy goal for housing affordability as part of all joint development projects (residential and mixed-use TOD). This is one way that MARTA looks to provide affordable housing options near transit stops.

The City Council created the Beltline Affordable Housing Trust Fund (BAHTF) to create and preserve affordable housing in the Beltline neighborhoods with approximately 115 units planned. Once completed these units will be a prime example of connecting affordable housing to public transportation.

By creating and preserving affordable living options in areas near transit with access to employment centers and daily services people can reduce the costs of living.

The amount of money a household spends on transportation is directly connected to the location of their home. When transportation costs are added to the cost of renting or owning a home, many places that seemed affordable are shown to be more expensive than expected.¹

Public Transportation Accessibility Helps Make Housing Affordable

Public Transit and Affordable Housing Options

Atlanta boasts the second most affordable housing market in the United States (AJC)², but unfortunately when transportation is factored in, this is no longer true. An analysis of data in the Housing and Transportation Index reveals that:

Of the land within a half-mile of Lindbergh Station, 54 percent is residential and 34 percent is zoned commercial.³

Housing Affordability in Atlanta by the Numbers


● All typical households spend more than 15% of their yearly income on transportation costs.

Transportation Costs as a Percentage of Annual Income

June 2013

● 30% of typical households, with a median income of $58,390, spend over 30% or more of their yearly income on housing, and 80% of typical households spend 45% of their yearly income on housing and transportation costs. 4

A typical household in the Atlanta region with a median income of $58,390 spends an average of $14,305 in transportation costs annually. That’s $1,192 per month, ranking Atlanta 44th out of the nation’s 51 largest metros.4

●

Working families in the Atlanta region with incomes between $20,000 and $50,000 spend 61% of their yearly budget on housing and transportation costs. 5

●

Working families who live in downtown Atlanta neighborhoods, take almost twice as long to commute to their jobs by public transit as by private car. 5

●

● Developing affordable housing at TOD sites can reduce transportation and housing costs for low-income families, and increase transit ridership to justify the infrastructure development costs of the TOD. 6

Often times traditional TOD does not promote equity, because it overlooks the needs and challenges of community members, especially low-income residents. Equitable TOD can:

What is Equitable TOD?

Traditional TOD is defined as higher-density mixed-use development within walking distance of transit stations. Incorporating the needs of core transit riders and the existing community allows Equitable TOD to become a tool that links riders to destinations of their choice including affordable housing, employment opportunities, job training and educational centers, fresh food, and green spaces for healthier living.

Equitable Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) combines placed-based solutions with a people-based approach to address the full range of needs of existing and future community residents.

Why We Need Equitable TOD

Atlanta ranks 18th out of the top 20 cities for monthly savings from transit ridership. Core transit riders could save approximately $766 on tranportation costs per month by taking public transportation; that’s $9,195 per year.

3

•A typical household in the Atlanta region with a median income of $58,390 spends an average of $14,305 in transportation costs annually. That’s $1,192 per month, ranking Atlanta 44th out of the nation’s 51 largest metros. 2

•

• Increase property values without displacing residents; and

• Promote greater economic opportunity by creating easier access for low to moderate- income households;

• Encourage a balance between return on investment for private investors and equity goals

Atlanta Regional CommissionHistoric Preservation Tax Credit Analysis - (Sample - In progress)• Calculated and analyzed program fees and tax incentives to assess economic impact of state programs on employment • Calculated, in Excel, the economic multiplier, wages, and jobs created as a result of historical tax credits awarded in the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)• Applied findings to deflators to account for decades of inflation

Excel Consolidation, Calculation, and Extrapolation• Over two decades of state-wide data was sifted through, by hand, and consolidated, in Excel to ensure that only historic tax credit by the MPO was included

• The economic multiplier was calculated to extrapolate the job and wages created by applying and ratios identified in research


• The totals were multiplied the deflator to adjust for inflation

• Over 200 properties were identified creating just under 800 jobs, and over $500 million over the last three decades

Effects on the Gullah Geechee


Investigating the Effects of Sea Level Rise on the Gullah Geechee in Coastal Georgia• Non-profit organization founded in 1936• Held March 8 -9 at Barry University• Students submitted abstracts that covered a variety of topics including Social Sciences, Engineering Sciences, and Biological Sciences among several others.

Marvin Clermont’s (MCRP ‘13) oral presentation titled “Investigating the effects of sea level rise on the Gullah Geechee in coastal Georgia” has been recognized as the Outstanding Graduate Student Oral Paper by the Urban & Regional Planning section of the Florida Academy of Sciences. The paper was delivered at the Academy’s 77th Annual Meeting on March 8th at Barry University in Miami Shores, FL.

Article Published by Georgia Tech | April 14, 2013

Marvin’s research looks at the effects of sea level rise on the resources, habitats, and culture of Sandfly, Pinpoint, and Hog Hammock along Georgia’s coast. He began the research as part of a larger project funded by the Georgia Conservancy and Georgia Tech and quickly found the initial project’s combination of science, African-American history, and planning a solid stepping-stone for further research.

Marvin’s findings indicate that the block and roads around the Georgia Regional Hospital at Savannah in Sandfly will be partially inundated if no adaptation strategies are taken and Pin Point will become further isolated as a major transportation artery into the secluded community will be cut off due to rising sea levels. Hog Hammock will be hit the hardest by projected sea level rise, with over 90 percent of inhabited land to be impacted if no adaptation strategies are implemented.

The distinction, awarded in late March by a panel of Academy of Sciences members, will not mark the end point of Marvin’s research on the gradual deterioration of the Gullah Geechee’s historic character. He is currently researching food access issues in the area, the influence of Walmart on the local economy, and the potential for transit-oriented development (TOD) to improve access to these sparsely populated and often forgotten islands on the Georgia coast.

Atlanta Inset


2013 LCI Implementation ReportEmployment is a critical factor when tracking the success of the LCI program. Data reveals that while LCI areas only represent a small percentage of the region’s geographical footprint, LCI communities contribute exponentially to the Atlanta region jobs. According to the 2010 Census, 36% of jobs in the 13 county-region are located in LCI communities. Furthermore, 44% of the jobs in LCI communities offer an annual salary above $40,000 per year. These well-paying jobs represent 16% of all jobs in the region according to NAICS (North American Industry Classification System). Given the concentration of jobs and office development in LCI areas, the LCI program is ultimately helping to make these areas transit-supportive. Not surprisingly there are many new transit projects being evaluated that serve LCI areas such as the Northwest Corridor BRT which will traverse six different LCIs in Cobb County.

In addition to creating commercial and economic centers in the region, the workers who live in LCI communities share a trend. According to the 2010 Census, 39% of the employees who live in LCI communities earn a wage that exceeds $40,000. LCI communities create a sense of community by integrating housing and employment, as well as historic character and development patterns. The employees who live in LCI communities represent 11% of the workforce in the region; however, their location provides a multitude of options for places to work. Jobs are available in LCI communities, and the people in the communities are making a good wage. These results are but a portion of the goal that the ARC envisions when providing funding for development.

Clarkston Development FoundationThe entire population of the Service Area was 21,989 in 2010. According to the 2000 Census, the City of Clarkston’s population was 7,231 residents. The 2010 Census shows a population of 7,554 residents, representing a 4.5% increase over the 10-year time period. Clarkston fared well relatively to other small cities in Metro Atlanta. According to the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC), during this same time period, thirteen cities in the ten-county region experienced declines in population. Two of these cities, Doraville and Stone Mountain, are also located in DeKalb County.

The City of Clarkston’s population is dominated by three races: White, Black, and Asians. Blacks account for 58.4% of the City’s population, while Whites and Asians account for 13.6% and 21.6% respectively. The remaining population is a combination of all other races. This is counter intuitive more specifically when looking at the Georgia state averages for these same races. The White population makes up 59.7% of people living in Georgia, while Blacks and Asians account for 30.5% and 3.2%, respectively. Another trend that differs widely between Clarkston and the state of Georgia is the percentage of foreign born persons residing in these locations. Clarkston’s population is made up 39.5% of residents that were not born in the United States, which is more than four times the Georgia average (9.6%). This speaks directly to the percentage of persons who speak a language other than English at home. Clarkston’s percentage of those without English as a first language is 39.5% of the population, more than three times that of Georgia’s average of 12.7%.


2010 Prospective Student Writing SampleWriting Sample

It has been said that history repeats itself because no one is listening. Unfortunately, this rings true in Chicago since its inception. The people of Chicago have endured through long economic crests and troughs. This is due, in large part, to the cyclical nature of the economy and patterns of growth. One outcome of this cycle is gentrification, which often results during a city’s economic upswing. Gentrification is the restoration or upgrading of deteriorated urban property by middle-class or affluent people, resulting in the displacement of lower-income people. Chicago’s urban planning has led to the gentrification of many neighborhoods, which helped and hurt its residents. To improve the city’s economic and social viability, Chicago has introduced several urban renewal plans. One noteworthy plan was the Development Plan for the Central Area of Chicago of 1958. A central component of this plan was to build a University of Illinois campus in Pilsen, a predominantly Mexican neighborhood (Bennett 40). In 1965, UIC opened its doors to 10,000 students and as a result 5,000 people were displaced, 200 businesses were forced out and 800 homes were razed (Betancur 33). This pattern continued in Chicago neighborhoods such as Lincoln Park, Bronzeville, and Old Town. Chicago 21: A Plan for the Central Area Communities, introduced in 1973, is unquestionably one of the city’s most controversial planning documents. Despite dissenting opinions about the plan, all converge on the substantial impact it had on Chicago’s landscape. The plan emphasized downtown beautification and hoped to provide an aesthetic environment which would not be rivaled by any American city (Bennett 41). It did beautify the city and attract investment, but it also led to property tax and rent increases that displaced thousands of low-income residents. There is debate over whether we are overlooking gentrification’s positive aspects. As cities begin to thrive, commercial and residential properties gain value. This bodes well for investors, property owners, and city coffers. For those at risk of being displaced, there is constant concern over the city’s and developer’s decisions of where to build and how to value a property. Whereas to an investor, these are just variables to consider when examining lot sizes and square footage. The current impact of gentrification cannot be measured but many Chicagoans believe it is prevalent today. Cabrini-Green is a housing development once home to 15,000 Chicagoans. As of December 2010 the last remaining building closed its doors. Although tenant activists may tell a different story, gang violence and high crime rates were the death of the only public housing complex situated in an affluent part of the city. It seems that once again the voices of low-income Chicagoans are not being heard. Gentrification has both positives and negatives, but more needs to be done to assuage the hardships that it brings to certain populations. Rent regulation, which helps residents from being priced out of their neighborhood, is an example of a provision used to address the problem increased property value presents. This sort of initiative helped my Grandmother live in the same apartment in Brooklyn for nearly 30 years. When dealing with issues around gentrification it is difficult to accommodate all sides. Increasing rent, for example, will always benefit the payee and hinder the payer. As urban planners we need to create a new urban renewal paradigm that allow business and all residents the opportunity to shape and take ownership of their communities and hopefully create a win-win scenario. History repeats itself because no one is listening; it is time to allow all voices an opportunity to be heard.
