Maryland Smart Growth
• Harriet Tregoning, EPA• Gov. Parris Glendenning • Prof. Gerrit-Jan Knaap, The National Center for
Smart Growth Education and Research
http://www.smartgrowth.umd.edu/
• Provide incentives to guide growth in focused (designated) geographic areas, and to protect rural areas

1992 Planning Act
• The Economic Growth, Resource Protection, and Planning Act of 1992– All municipalities prepare comprehensive plans
including land use, community facilities, etc.– They should include goals, objectives, standards to
protect “sensitive areas” • Streams and their buffers; • 100-year floodplains; • Habitats of threatened and endangered species; and • Steep slopes

7 visions1. Development to be concentrated in suitable areas (PFAs;
Priority Funding Areas)2. Sensitive Areas to be protected3. In rural areas, growth would be directed to existing
population centers and protected resource areas (RL; Rural Legacy)
4. Stewardship of the Chesapeake Bay and the land is a universal ethic
5. Conservation of resources, including a reduction in resource consumption, is practiced
6. To assure the achievement of [the] above, economic growth would be encouraged and regulatory mechanisms streamlined
7. Funding mechanisms directed to achieve this vision (especially the PFAs)

1. Priority Funding Areas
• Provides infrastructure subsidies to areas within city boundaries or using other criteria– every municipality, as they existed in 1997; – Inside the Washington Beltway and the Baltimore
Beltway; – designated areas
• enterprise zones• neighborhood revitalization areas• heritage areas • existing industrial land

Portland UGB
![Page 10: 1 Smart Growth UDP 450 Prof. Bae Oct 16, 2007. 2 Ten Principles Of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses 2. Take advantage of compact building design 3. Create.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec85503460f94bd5576/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

PFAs & UGBs: Are they different?
• Designation (& revision) of PFAs is a politically lengthy process, with no clear-cut approach
• PFAs are more likely to leak– No way to prevent urban development outside
PFAs– Also, no state subsidies provided– Local govts. (& private) funds might subsidize
the costs of urban services outside PFAs
![Page 11: 1 Smart Growth UDP 450 Prof. Bae Oct 16, 2007. 2 Ten Principles Of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses 2. Take advantage of compact building design 3. Create.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec85503460f94bd5576/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
PFAs & UGBs
• Sprawl continues in PFAs– Development patterns within PFAs will
continue to sprawl Cf. Oregon UGBs need to have 20-year land
supply (every 5-yr revision); hence, they never have shortage of developable lands for urban uses
• Portland in 1990s: 50% Pop growth, 30% land area growth
• UGB’s influence on avg lot sizes and mixed uses were minimal (Song & Knaap, 2002)
![Page 12: 1 Smart Growth UDP 450 Prof. Bae Oct 16, 2007. 2 Ten Principles Of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses 2. Take advantage of compact building design 3. Create.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec85503460f94bd5576/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
PFAs & UGBs
• Raising land & housing prices– UGB constrains urban land supply, therefore
raises land and housing prices substantially– Jeopardizes housing affordability– Debate on housing affordability continues; No
clear answer • 10/18, Thur, Tim Trihimovich, Futurewise
![Page 13: 1 Smart Growth UDP 450 Prof. Bae Oct 16, 2007. 2 Ten Principles Of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses 2. Take advantage of compact building design 3. Create.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec85503460f94bd5576/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
PFAs & UGBs
• Positive impact on the land use planning process & quality– Govts. can take the first step to monitor land
development location, measure land use intensity, etc.
– This will lead to better land management in the future
![Page 14: 1 Smart Growth UDP 450 Prof. Bae Oct 16, 2007. 2 Ten Principles Of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses 2. Take advantage of compact building design 3. Create.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec85503460f94bd5576/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
PFAs & UGBs
• Conflict between local govts. & State agencies– Some local govts. want to grow more, so that
they can obtain more state subsidies• Cf. Bremerton, WA in early 1990s
– Regional center vs. urban centers– Future population growth forecasts from WA OFM and
Kitsap County

2. Rural Legacy (RL)
• Preserving rural lands, natural and cultural resource areas (32,530 acres protected as of 09/2002)
• Keeping urban uses via PFAs & rural use via RL
• Discouraging urban development in outlying areas
• Recognizing rural land conservation for state’s health and economy
![Page 16: 1 Smart Growth UDP 450 Prof. Bae Oct 16, 2007. 2 Ten Principles Of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses 2. Take advantage of compact building design 3. Create.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec85503460f94bd5576/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Rural Legacy
• Greenfields and open space helps to maintain good water quality by reducing run-off problems to rivers and Chesapeake Bay
• Protect resource-based economies– Agriculture– Forestry– Outdoor recreation & tourism
![Page 17: 1 Smart Growth UDP 450 Prof. Bae Oct 16, 2007. 2 Ten Principles Of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses 2. Take advantage of compact building design 3. Create.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec85503460f94bd5576/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

3. Brownfields Cleanup
• Contaminated, underutilized and/or abandoned site
• According to CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 1980), owners of superfund sites are responsible for clean-up – Uncertainty re. “what constitutes clean?” “How long it
will take to clean-up” “Who will pay the costs?”• Federal government’s National Priorities List
– WA: 46 sites (http://www.epa.gov/superfund/sites/npl/wa.htm)
– MD: 21 sites
![Page 20: 1 Smart Growth UDP 450 Prof. Bae Oct 16, 2007. 2 Ten Principles Of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses 2. Take advantage of compact building design 3. Create.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec85503460f94bd5576/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

4. Live Near Your Work (LNYW)
• City pays incentives to those who locate near their workplace in target areas to reduce commuting($3,000/HH in 2002)
• When a homebuyer purchase a house, s/he is buying a bundle of goods:– Physical attributes (# sq. ft., bedrooms, bathrooms,
garden, etc.)– Neighborhood attributes (school quality, safety, etc)– Amenities (view of mountain, ocean, etc.)– Accessibility (proximity to work, supermarkets, trails,
etc.)
![Page 21: 1 Smart Growth UDP 450 Prof. Bae Oct 16, 2007. 2 Ten Principles Of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses 2. Take advantage of compact building design 3. Create.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec85503460f94bd5576/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
LNYW (cont.)
• Therefore, it is questionable how well LNYW will work– Trade-off exist between housing location choice and
commuting distance– Residential locators do not minimize commute. May
be helpful at the margin• It may subsidize high income suburban
residents/workers • Only 267 homeowners, 47 employers were
participating in LNYW by 2000 – currently 85+ employers in Baltimore city

5. Job Creation Tax Credit (JCTC)
• Income tax credit to business owners (>25 jobs created in PFAs)– Credit: 2.5~5% of annual wages (Max $1,000~1,500) – Full time, permanent, > 150% of minimum wage– 123 applications, 28,000 jobs by 1999
• Economic base, high tech industry, e.g. biotech, research development & testing, computer programing, etc.
![Page 23: 1 Smart Growth UDP 450 Prof. Bae Oct 16, 2007. 2 Ten Principles Of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses 2. Take advantage of compact building design 3. Create.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032607/56649ec85503460f94bd5576/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
JCTC (cont.)
• Conflicting report on the effects of economic incentives to create more jobs– Papke (1994), unemployment claims declined
by 19% after the designation of enterprise zone in Indiana
– Boarnet and Bogart (1995), no similar impact in NJ
– Surveys find positive responses toward job creation and tax credit programs

JCTC (cont.)
• Job creation programs have an impact on the spatial distribution of employment within metropolitan areas
