If communities in the Region agree to implement the

Concentrated Development Vision, what would they need to

do?

The investment does not have to be

huge…

We are not asking people to make major adjustments to their planning

processes if they don’t want to. Using the information we’ve

gathered and prepared as part of the Going Places initiative is purely

voluntary.

We are working with local leaders to develop a

package of tools we are calling the 2040 Regional

Growth Framework

This Framework is intended to be a guide and reference for local officials and planning

professionals as they plan and develop their own communities.

The tools thus far include: • MVRPC Staff

• Four questions to ask when making planning and development decisions

• The draft Growth Framework map

• A list of potential policies

• A list of existing funding opportunities

Tool #1: MVRPC Staff

MVPRC Staff have many resources and a lot of expertise. We have collected a lot of information as part of the Going Places initiative and we encourage everyone to take advantage of it.

Tool #2: Four Questions

These are questions and local officials and planning professionals could ask of any future land use plans or when making land use decisions. They relate directly to the four principles of the Concentrated Development Vision.

Tool #2: Four Questions

• Do the plans take advantage of the community’s assets?

• Do the plans make use of existing infrastructure?

• Does this plan preserve farmland and other open spaces?

• Has the community or the developers cooperated with other communities in the Region in developing this plan?

Tool #3: The Draft Growth Framework Map

This map is a long-term land development strategy – a guide for translating the Concentrated Development Vision into reality.

Tool #3: The Draft Growth Framework Map

MVRPC has no legal authority over land use decisions, nor is the organization seeking it.

This map is intended to be used as a reference for our local communities as they adopt their future land use policies and implement their own land development efforts.

Tool #3: The Draft Growth Framework Map

Six resources were used in developing the map: • An inventory of park land and other protected lands • An inventory of developed land derived from the parcel-level data

from each county • An inventory of land suitable for future development • Zoning maps from jurisdictions in the Region • The Concentrated Development Vision • The 2000 Urban Area from the U.S. Census Bureau and the

Federal Highway Administration.

The Infill Growth Sector These areas

have the potential for

future redevelopment.

The Intended Growth Sector

These areas are

undeveloped and have the potential for future new

development.

The Controlled Growth Sector These areas

are undeveloped but are zoned

for future development.

These areas are

undeveloped and future new development would need to be regulated.

The Limited Growth Sector

Sectors The Preserved and Reserved

These areas are either currently

protected from or are not

planned for future new

development.

Tool #4: The list of potential policies

This list is intended to provide communities with ideas for how they might incorporate some of the ideas from the Concentrated Development Vision into their own plans and processes.

Tool #4: The list of potential policies

We are currently working with local leaders on defining what this list should include. The list will be organized according to a set of five implementation concepts which were selected by local leaders as the most important in terms of implementing the Concentrated Development Vision.

Tool #4: The list of potential policies

The five implementation concepts are: • Focus on the maintenance of existing infrastructure

(roads, water, sewer, etc.) • Revive the Region’s older communities • Foster a sense of connection and cooperation between

the Region’s communities • Encourage development around the Region’s assets • Revive the Region’s core city – the City of Dayton

Tool #5: The list of existing funding opportunities

This list will consist of funding opportunities from both public and private sources that may help communities in the Region in their efforts to implement the Concentrated Development Vision.

Over the next few months, we will be refining the draft Framework based on input from the public, local officials, and planning professionals. A final version

will be available some time in early 2012.
