4. Natural Increase (�Our own children�) Net Migration (�Other People�)

5. Expand housing? Constrain future job growth? Expand infrastructure to handle in-commuters? Find a smarter way to grow

6. Regionwide smart growth land use vision supported by local governments. Regulatory changes and fiscal incentives needed to implement vision. A set of smart growth land use projections.

7. The Three E�s of Smart Growth and Sustainable Development:

8. Preserve the region�s undeveloped open space and agricultural land. Provide sufficient affordable housing. Revitalize central cities and older suburbs. Reduce single occupant vehicle trips. Foster equitable economic development while minimizing displacement.

9. Revised Regulatory Framework Additional Incentives Regional Context

11. Participants included: - elected officials - planning staff - developers - environmental advocates - social equity representatives

12. Smart growth principles Land use mapping exercise Affordable housing Regulatory changes and incentives

14. Distillation Maps

16. Identified three draft regionwide themes and how they would play out in each county. Conducted distillation meeting with over 100 local planners and stakeholders. Finalized themes and regionwide maps of each alternative.

17. Identify themes that emerged from all nine Round One workshops. All components appeared in at least one group�s scenario. Alternatives as distinct from each other as possible. Similar regional jobs and housing levels in each alternative. Jobs and housing totals vary by county according to theme and workshop products.

18. Environment Transportation Housing Social Equity Development Feasibility

19. Review results of first round of workshops. Review base case, three alternatives and analysis. Discuss regional planning principles. Discuss needed regulatory changes and incentives. Recommend preferred alternative.

20. Select and refine a single preferred alternative for Santa Clara County.

21. Single regionwide vision & corresponding projections BAASD coordinates public education & engagement campaign Companion incentives and regulatory changes ABAG Board considers adoption of smart growth alternative projections Regional Transportation Plan & Clean Air Plan Local implementation

24. Base Case 1. Central Cities 2. Network of Neighborhoods 3. Smarter Suburbs

28. Most development focused in centers of the region. Locates compact, walkable, mixed-income, mixed use development in each county�s largest city or cities. Also locates growth in nodes around existing public transit stations.

32. Locates similar type development in same locations as Alternative 1, but less dense. Adds development in additional areas: existing transit nodes and major corridors. walkable communities. existing communities along expanded transit network.

36. Locates similar type development in same areas as Alternatives 1 and 2, but still less dense. Locates jobs and housing at periphery to create mixed use communities. Additional new smart growth communities.

75. Equitable Smart Growth Strategies Provide training to current residents to obtain new high-skill jobs locally. Match job development to skills of current residents. Improve transit access to jobs around the region. Provide additional retail facilities. Cultivate business opportunities for local residents. Alleviate overcrowding. Maintain affordability of existing housing.

81. Shifting demographic patterns create demand for a variety of housing types:

83. location timing economic and local market conditions land prices construction costs regulatory environment financial requirements of the development and investment communities political conditions

84. All provide a framework for future development All can be modified to meet local needs Each provides a different general direction

90. Preserve the region�s undeveloped open space and agricultural land. Provide sufficient affordable housing. Revitalize central cities and older suburbs. Reduce single occupant vehicle trips. Foster equitable economic development while minimizing displacement.

93. GOAL Refine the selected alternative for Santa Clara County.

94. Begin with selected alternative. Recommend modifications. Prioritize recommendations Reconvene for large group decision-making. Track changes with computerized output.

95. Planning Areas Place Types

97. Colored: Areas of Change Gray: Existing Land Use Residential Areas Mixed-Use Areas Town Centers/Downtowns Employment Areas/Institutions Hatched: Transportation-Related Rail Stations/Major Transfer Facility Areas Corridors

98. Place Types Percent Increase (�Dial-up�) Numerical Change No Change from On-the-Ground Conditions

101. Varying mixes of residential and employment uses:

110. Varying land uses and densities within each Place Type. Apply to all of a planning area, unless otherwise specified. Focus on the next 20 years.

111. Percent Increase (�Dial-up�) 5% Residential Increase 15% Employment Increase Both

112. Numerical Change Add or subtract specific numbers of jobs or housing units For marginal changes only

113. No Change from On-the-Ground Condition Preserve existing development �as-is� Preserve open space

114. Broad brush, regional perspective County-wide interaction
