-- Allen Best, Planning Magazine (October 2010)
“The most cited success is Envision Utah.”

Regional Visioning
A revolution in “scale appropriate” problem solving
Empowers regions to enhance quality of life and successfully compete in the new global paradigm
Regional Visioning is the
Natural Evolution of “Place Making”
to a Larger Scale

History of Planning in Utah

Utah Faced Serious Challenges in 1997
A million new residents by 2020
Air quality at risk
Doubling urban land by 2020
New water sources needed by 2010
Crowding and congestion increasing
Business and personal costs rising
Infrastructure needs outstripping resources

Formed in 1997 to evaluate and address growth issues
Nonprofit, nonpartisan, voluntary
Partnership of business, government, community

Greater Wasatch Area
10 Counties
90 Cities and Towns
157 Special Service Districts
Over 500 City Council Members

The Premise of Envision Utah
The “public” has the right to choose its future—public officials should serve that vision
The “public” will make good choices if presented with real options

Improved Process
VALUES (What do people want?)
VISION (How will our Region provide it?)
STRATEGY (How do we implement?)
PLAN
FUND
BUILD

Regional Visioning Starts with Regional Values
Values are stable and enduring; life’s “tides” as opposed to the “waves.”
Values are widely shared and create consensus among diverse groups.
Satisfying ones’ values is the foundation of personal decision making.

The Wasatch Choice for 2040

Is it worth it?

Growth Strategy Implemented
save $4.5 billion in future infrastructure costs over the next 20 years
conserve more land (171 square miles)
provide more housing choices
lower emissions resulting in less pollution
reduce water consumption
make our transportation system more efficient with less congestion on the roads

Mountain View Corridor – a multimodal parallel corridor to I-15
An Envision Utah process saved millions of dollars and years of delay

Multi-modal
Capacity safety and preservation of existing roadway system
Comprehensive transit system: Bus Rapid Transit, streetcar and bus to complement rail system

Utah’s First Regional Housing Plan: Completed by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Utah
Market driven
Focus on housing choice

Tools for decision-making:

New Guiding Principles
Livability - Work to enhance the quality of life in the region by supporting initiatives that increase opportunities for affordable housing, education, jobs, recreation, and civic involvement without increasing the burden on citizens to enjoy their community.
Sustainability – Strive to support growth and prosperity without sacrificing the health, environment, natural and socio-cultural resources, or financial stability of this or future generations.
Prosperity – Contribute to the continued economic well-being of the greater Nashville area by investing in transportation solutions that increase access to education, jobs, and amenities, reduce the cost of living and doing business, and attract new investment to the region.
Diversity – Recognize the multitude of needs and the variety of perspectives and backgrounds of the people that live and work in the greater Nashville area by promoting a range of transportation choices that are designed with sensitivity to the desired context.

Water is our most precious natural resource. With only 3 percent of the world’s water existing as fresh water, nearly every continent is feeling the affects of the global water crisis. For some, it’s the lack of clean drinking water. For farmers, it’s the inability to feed the thirst of valuable crops. Just as “easy oil” has dried up, fresh water has become more difficult to access and transport.

The Big Picture
Air is cleaner in Tennessee than anytime in the last 40 years – since the passage of the Clean Air Act.
Grown our economy at the same time air quality has improved.
>20% population increase last decade
42% increase in VMT 1990-2009
EPA plans to make national standards more stringent to protect human health.

How to Attain Stricter EPA Ozone Standard?
Reducing combustion emissions from:
Power Plants & Industry stationary sources
Industrial sites employ low-NOx boilers
TVA investments in air pollution control devices and retiring older coal-fired plants
Vehicles & Transportation Fuels mobile sources (on-road and off-road)
Improved fleet and fuel economy
Changes in Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT)
EPA SmartWay Transportation Partnership
Achieving greater energy efficiency

The Power of Ten Regional Summit
2008 TDEC emissions inventory data

Priority Considerations
Public awareness and education
Cleaner fuels and vehicles
Invest in mass transit options and increased public transportation usage
Continue reducing emissions from power generation and industrial sites
Achieve greater energy efficiency
