Phase II Future Landscape Exploration:How and Where should the Region develop?

Scenario Building through Civic Engagement

Scenario Assessment through Performance Indicators

Future Land Use Scenarios and Assessment

Seven alternative future land use scenarios addressing the question “where and in what ways should the region develop by 2040?”

Assessment of the potential effects of each scenario on the region measured using a set of 12 performance indicators

Sharing Seven Scenarios and Assessment Results

Phase III Building a Clear and Shared Regional Land Use Framework

Identify, develop, and evaluate a preferred scenario

Develop and build consensus around the 2040 Regional Growth Framework

Seek approval from the MVRPC Board of Directors

The 2040 Regional Growth Framework will be more than a map – it will also

represent the core values, principles, and characteristics of the Miami Valley and include recommendations for regional

policies and strategies for implementation

Process and Timeline

Final Preferred Scenario

Identify the final preferred scenario using: Distribution of participants amongst the seven scenarios during the

scenario building workshops Scenario voting results from the Going Places Steering and Planning

Advisory Committee members, public open houses, and mail and web surveys

Results from the phone survey

Evaluate the final preferred scenario using the 12 performance indicators

Phone Survey

Conducted by the Center for Urban and Public Affairs at Wright State University

Representative sample of 400 participants Series of questions designed to indicate the values of the

participants with respect to land use Analysis by CUPA indicates that the Infill/Conservation

Development scenario had the highest degree of support Some support also for Asset-Based Development and Mixed-

Themes Development

Final Preferred Scenario

Based on voting and phone survey results, the final preferred scenario is a combination of three scenarios:Infill/Conservation DevelopmentAsset-Based DevelopmentMixed Themes Development

Concentrated DevelopmentThe Final Preferred Scenario

Future development focused around regional assets Future development concentrated in areas with existing

support infrastructure Encouraging the rehabilitation and/or repurposing of existing

structures Increasing the number and quality of transportation options Reviving the Region’s core city and older communities Using land in a way that builds a sense of community

Potential Implementation Concepts

What we’re going to do today:Organize everyone into groupsGive everyone a list of potential implementation conceptsAsk each group to work together to organize the concepts

into three categories: Highest Importance Moderate Importance Lowest Importance

Two rulesUp to 5 concepts in the Highest Importance categoryCan add one additional concept in the Highest Importance

category


What will happen next?The rankings will appear in the final Going Places report to

indicate which potential concepts are considered most important

MVRPC staff will use this ranking of the concepts when devising a list of potential implementation policies


How we derived them:Drew from several sources: Think Cards Mind Maps Comments from the online voting Comments from the mail survey

Selected concepts that best represented some of the most popular and important comments made by participants


Encourage the rehabilitation and/or repurposing of existing structures

Focus on the maintenance of existing infrastructure

Locate any new development in areas with existing infrastructure

Revive the Region’s older communities

Preserve prime farmland and support agricultural enterprise

Improve the quality of educational opportunities throughout the Region

Foster a sense of connection and cooperation between the Region’s communities

Increase the number and quality of transportation options

Encourage development around the

Region’s assets Encourage the rehabilitation/reuse of

vacant industrial sites Encourage energy-efficient building

practices and the retrofitting of existing structures for energy efficiency

Use land in a way that builds a sense of community

Maintain and expand the Region’s parks, natural areas, and recreational amenities

Discourage greenfield development Encourage the development of quality,

realistic affordable housing throughout the Region

Revive the Region’s core city – the City of Dayton

Next Steps

Develop and evaluate a preferred scenario

Evaluate best practice implementation concepts

Develop the 2040 Regional Growth Framework

Consensus Building

Public Open Houses

Presentation and Input Solicitation

Endorsement and Formal Review

Approval from MVRPC Board of Directors

Strong Leadership and Support are Critical

Incorporate sound technical analysis of good quality data throughout the process

Facilitate meaningful discussions and build a regional consensus

Seek extensive regional stakeholder engagement so that the outcome reflects a collective vision of regional stakeholders

Build a partnership with local jurisdictions and work closely with their staff

Foster strong support from regional leaders in both public and private sectors

Better integrate the Going Places planning process into MVRPC’s current regional transportation planning process
