The Preferred Scenario

Since 2007, the GoingPlaces team at MVRPC hasbeen working with peoplefrom all over the Region tocreate a collective vision forland development for theyear 2040…

In Phase I we lookedat how land has beenused in the past, howit is being used now,and what might beneeded in the future…

In Phase II we asked people from all over the Region to tell us how they would like to seeland used in the future…

Over 600 peoplehelped to createseven potentialfuture land use scenarios

In Phase III we asked people to tell us which of the seven scenarios they liked best…

Over 1,200people voted (Thank you!) And now…the voting results…

These threescenarios received82% of the votes!

The Going Places teamcombined these three into one Preferred Scenario

The three scenarioshad many things incommon, especially emphasizing four principles

Building on theRegion’s many assets

Making use of theRegion’s existinginfrastructure

Preserving the Region’sagricultural land and otheropen spaces

Encouraging morecooperation between theRegion’s communities

The concepts represented by these three scenarios alsoreceived the highest levels of support in a phone survey conducted by the Center for Urban and Public Affairs at Wright State University.

• 94.2% of respondents supported housing and business development in existing neighborhoods.• 88% of respondents said that it was important for development to be concentrated around regional assets.• 85% of respondents said that maintaining and/or increasing farmland in the Region is important.• 94.5% of respondents said that they wished communities would communicate with each other more about land use planning.

The Preferred Scenario –named The Concentrated Development Vision –represents the core values, principles, andcharacteristics of the Miami Valley Region

The map of the Concentrated Development Vision uses a Density and Diversity Index. This index is designed to show wheredevelopment will be more or less denseand will contain more or fewer types ofdevelopment – such as houses, stores, or factories.

Zone 5 represents the areas with the highest levels of density and diversity.These areas contain at least two different types of development.

Zone 4 represents areas in the Region with higher levels of density and diversity.

Zone 3 represents areas in the Region that may either be less dense and have more diverse development or be more denselydeveloped with fewer development types.

Zone 2 represents areas in the Region withmoderate to low levels of both development diversity and density.

Zone 1 represents the least developedareas in the Region – mainly agricultural areas.

In Phase I, we projected that by 2040,the Region’s population would grow by3%, or 24,346 people, and the number of jobs would increase by 5%, or 29,865. Under the Concentrated Development Vision, wherewould those new people and jobs go?

The highest concentrations ofnew people would be located in the Region’s existing communities, with a large concentration in the City of Dayton and its surrounding areas.

The highest concentrations of new jobs would be located along I-75, within several existing communities, and near Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

We will be asking local governments to endorse the Concentrated Development Vision over the next fewmonths and we could definitely use your support!

What can you do to help?

We’re so glad you asked!The number one thing you can do is to talk with your electedofficials and let them know thatyou support this vision for the Miami Valley Region.
