Comprehensive Plans, Development Patterns, Transportation Choices and Global Warming Emissions Nils Peterson

To reduce your Carbon Footprint - choose green personal transportation options

Walking & Bike-friendly space

With walking at WinCo

We have built a structural dependence on the auto This kind of development makes it hard to choose green transportation options .

Comprehensive Plans, Development Patterns, Transportation Choices and Global Warming Emissions

Large Scale Retail Ordinance (aka Big Box) Passed Feb 2006 Council directed P&Z to review: “ Dark Store” Cap on the Maximum Size of a Big Box P&Z is now recommending to Council Adding “Dark Store” Rules No Size Cap No Size Cap promotes a structural dependence on the auto. Attend Council Meeting April 16, 7:30 PM Speak for a Cap

Passed Feb 2006

Council directed P&Z to review:

“ Dark Store”

Cap on the Maximum Size of a Big Box

P&Z is now recommending to Council

Adding “Dark Store” Rules

No Size Cap

Better than a building-size Cap Do you want to walk around this neighborhood?

Do you want to walk around this neighborhood?

The Walk-able Block as Cap Action Needed: Council should direct P&Z to design a Big Box Cap that maintains walk-ability.

Preserves historic development patterns that were more walking friendly. Action needed: Encourage Adaptive Reuse in revisions to the comprehensive plan. Adaptive Reuse: school to neighborhood mall

Preserves historic development patterns that were more walking friendly.

Action needed:

Encourage Adaptive Reuse in revisions to the comprehensive plan.

Adaptive Reuse: church to apartments As part of the Dark Store provisions, P&Z did not forward any Adaptive Reuse provisions for Big Boxes. Action needed: Council should send this back to P&Z for more work.

Forms-based Codes Rather than zoning for use, zone for the size, shape, streetscape and density. This allows mixed uses, lets jobs and services be in neighborhoods Central Business District approximates this idea now. Action Needed: Put Forms-based codes into the Comprehensive Plan. Do the first experiment in the RR lands - they need to be rezoned.

April 16 - Stop Big Box Sprawl we contribute to Global Warming Emissions because of our personal Transportation Choices Development Patterns which are constrained by Moscow’s which last a long, long time Comprehensive Plan and must be changed in the demand a size cap Participate in the Comp Plan Rewrite make structural changes to support green transportation
