Concentrated Development Vision

Review

The goal of the Going Places initiative has been to work with the public to build

a collective vision for the future of land development in the Miami Valley Region

Rumor MVRPC staff is trying to direct where future land development should or should not occur.

Fact MVRPC has no legal authority over local land use decisions nor does it have any intention of superseding any local authority on this issue - using the information from the Going Places is voluntary.

Rumor The Going Places outcome will be tied to the federal transportation funding.

Fact Neither Staff nor the Committee has made any recommendation on this matter. If and when the recommendation is made, the MVRPC Board of Directors will have the final say.

Rumor The 2040 Growth Framework map has been finalized.

Fact The current version is a draft. Staff plans to send a formal request to local communities for their review and comments over the next several months. We will then incorporate all the input and address any concerns.

We heard several things from you at our last meeting

You needed more time

You wanted to know the

implementation plans

We can’t plan the trip unless we have

decided where to go…

Vision : Plan Concentrated Development

Vision : 2040 Growth

Framework

The 2040 Growth Framework will be a package of tools for our

local communities to use as they adopt their own future land use policies and implement their

own land development efforts

We don’t have an implementation plan yet.

We will need your help

to develop it.

We are asking for your endorsement of the

Concentrated Development Vision

The Concentrated Development Vision is a

conceptual representation of the results of the

Phase II workshops and the Phase III voting

process

These three scenarios received 82% of the votes

The Concentrated Development Vision is NOT a land use

plan

The Vision Map

Four Principles

Building on the Region’s many assets

Troy

Making use of the Region’s existing infrastructure

Preserving the Region’s agricultural land and other open spaces

Encouraging more cooperation between the Region’s communities

Support for these four principles was also evident in the CUPA

phone survey conducted last spring

How is this different from what is

already planned for future development

in the Region?

Many people will choose to live closer together

Near University of Dayton

More people will live closer to things like schools, libraries, shopping centers and parks

Oakwood

Land uses like housing and shops will be mixed together

The Cannery – Dayton

More people may choose to take transit

Main St. – Dayton

If we can all work towards a

common vision…

We can… Reduce

vacancies

Brookville

We can… Reduce costs

We can… Create a more vibrant region

Riverscape – Dayton

With your endorsement, we would like to ask the

MVRPC Technical Advisory Committee and

Board of Directors for their endorsement of the

Vision

In order to make this vision a reality, we

need help…

We need your leadership

The investment does not have to be

huge…

Working with you, we would like to develop a package of tools we are

calling the 2040 Regional Growth Framework

The tools would include: • MVRPC Staff

• Four Questions

• The 2040 Regional Growth Framework map

• A list of potential policies

• A list of existing funding opportunities

MVRPC staff is a partner

and a resource

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?

The 2040 Growth Framework Map –

a long-term land development strategy

The 2040 Regional Growth Framework map is intended to serve as a guide and reference for

our local communities

Six resources were used in developing the map:

• 2005 Open Space Inventory • An inventory of developed land • Land Development Suitability

Assessment • Zoning maps • The Concentrated Development Vision • The 2000 Urban Area

This map is only a draft

Staff plans to send a formal request to our local

communities for their review and comments over the next several months. We will then incorporate all the input and

address any concerns.

Staff is developing a list of potential policies and

existing funding opportunities

for our communities to take advantage of

We will be asking for your help in

developing this list

What’s Next • Sharing the Concentrated Development

Vision and asking for endorsements

• Presenting and refining the draft 2040 Regional Growth Framework map

• Developing a list of potential policies and existing funding opportunities

We plan to present the 2040 Regional Growth Framework to the MVRPC Technical Advisory

Committee and Board of Directors in March/April 2012
