Regional Approach : The Master Plan Master Plans are proactive and address issues that transcend the local level growth and development transportation property rights affordable housing air and water quality agricultural district planning Master Plans cross jurisdictions at a sub-regional level
Regional Approach: Public Involvement Stakeholders* Assessment Public Deliberation/Feedback Attend Growth Scenarios Visualization Workshop (s) Identify Community Values Perform land use exercise Deliberate Benefits, Costs, Consequences of Growth Scenarios Select Preferred Scenario Provide Feedback to Jurisdictions • Determine a Regional Study Area Boundary • Review Existing Land Use • Compare Existing Land Use to Jurisdictions’ Comprehensive Plan • DevelopAlternate Growth Scenarios and Compare • Present Scenarios to Public • Make Modifications if Necessary * State Agencies, Local Officials, Business & Civic Leaders, Developers, NGO’s, Citizens
Regional Approach : Master Plan Implementation • State Agency PLUS* Action • OSPC Facilitation • DNREC Infrastructure • DelDOT – TAZ Model • Other: AG, DoE, etc. • Technology transfer to State and local agencies • Master Plan to Comp Plan • Preferred scenario overlay: spatial join to parcel layer for action: TDR and rezoning • Local Councils • Review/Revise/Adopt Scenario 3D example from Placeways, LLC website * Preliminary Land Use Service, Office of State Planning Coordination (OSPC)

A Conversation on Values Simply, it is these values which: • Define Community • Build relationships • Resolve conflicts • Promote growth and development • Enhance civic pride • Just to name a few!
A Conversation on Values For Group Exercise One we have three questions: • What makes the Community Special? • What are we as a Community at risk of losing? • What might you change within the Community?
Purpose and Goals Purpose • To have a Conversation on our community’s future. Goals • To capture your thoughts, ideas and concerns so they may be incorporated into a Master Plan, • Provide predictability to all communities whether it is the development and business community or your community, • Build consensus, • Provide shovel ready opportunities to promote economic development, etc.
A Conversation on Values Well, what did you say?
The UD-SCC Community Land Use Model What is it? It is simply a tool for public involvement in land use decisions
UD-SCC Land Use Model for Master Planning • Visualization tool used for public involvement in land use decisions • “Paints” a picture of the community’svalues and interests • Land use capacity model representing; • community character • a set of land use designations that do not represent zoning, political boundaries, or ownership • form-based transect approach • Build-out and demographic impacts analysis with 3D geospatial visualization
UD-SCC Model Land Use Transects Source: SmartCode Version 9.2 – The Town Paper Publisher Sources: UD-SCC Community Land Use Model 2003 by DuanyPlater-Zyberk & Company
Source: UD-SCC Land Use Model; Adopted from the Center for Applied Transect Studies
Community Viz ® “Paints” Base (Existing) Land Use; Validate Build-Out Demographics State land cover / Structures / Building Footprints / 2009 Aerials / Census 2010 / Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ’s)
UD-SCC Model Variables & Assumptions • Density • Nonresidential Square Footage • Mixed Use Percentage • Build Efficiency Percentage • Constraints • “Out-of-Play” from Strategies for State Policies and Spending • Excellent recharge areas • Wetlands / Buffers along streams • Sending and receiving Transfer of Development Rights • Other unbuildable areas
Land Use Model Assumptions • Focus: • Residential Dwelling Units • Nonresidential square footage and Employees • Impacts: • Population Demographics • Commercial Employee Statistics • Water and Wastewater Usage • Vehicle Trips per Day • Land Use Constraint: • “Out-of-Play” GIS layer from Strategies for State Policies and Spending (2009) database • Examples: rights of way, agricultural easements, and publically-owned lands, water… 21
Land Use Designations for the Model(per 100 acre tile) • Rural Areas • T100A-Rural (1 DU/100A; e.g. Ag District areas; Preserves ) • T20A-Rural (1 DU/20A; Rural areas, AG, Recreation) • T5A-Rural (1 DU/5A; Rural areas, AG, Recreation & Camping) • T1-Rural Village (1DU/A; Sussex rural villages ) T100A-Rural 22
Land Use Designations for Model(per 100 acre tile) • Urban Areas • T2-SubUrban (2DU/A; All Residential; e.g. Cluster subdivisions) • T4-SubUrban (4DU/A; All Residential; e.g. higher density beach communities) • T4-Mixed SubUrban (4DU/A; Mixed Use; e.g. Developing Areas and ESDA) • T6-Urban Mixed (6DU/A; e.g. Town Centers ) • T8-Town Center (8DU/A; e.g. Municipalities) 4 units per acre 23
Land Use Designations for Model(per 100 acre tile) • Nonresidential Areas • TM-Business(Highway Commercial Zoning) • T30K-Employment Center (Planned Industrial Zoning) • T200K – Retail (Large regional shopping centers) Employment Center 24
Values Transfer to Land Use: the weTable • A Tool for UD-SCC Community Land Use Planning • A Tool for Participatory GIS – Texas Coastal Watershed Program
Benefits of the UD-SCC Model • Stakeholder interests visualized and analyzed • Public Engagement deliberates and makes land use choices • Community Character & Values identified and represented • “On-the-fly” impact analysis identifies consequences • “What-if” process provides implementation options • Iterative tradeoff & visualization process leads to consensus • Scalable Model at State, Local, and Regional Planning
