Planning staff have proposed amendments to the Landscape and Land Use Buffers Ordinance to preserve existing trees and create a healthier environment for trees in new developments. The proposed changes include reducing the number of required interior trees, creating overall canopy requirements, and requiring landscape and tree protection plans earlier in the development process. These changes aim to provide suitable growing conditions for trees while maintaining landscaping requirements. A public hearing on the proposed amendments has been scheduled for May 14th. Additionally, construction has begun on new Culver's and Panera Bread locations, and upcoming projects include a new Toyota engineering building and expansion of Bluegrass Community and Technical College.

The document discusses potential future scenarios for landscaping practices in Tallinn, Estonia between 2015-2045. It outlines two main driving forces that could influence changes: 1) Lack of municipal funding leading to more spontaneous vegetation, and 2) EU directives to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 resulting in regulations for green roofs. By 2025, a new landscaping practice focused on spontaneous plants requires less maintenance. By 2035, building regulations require green roofs over 1000 sqm. This increases green roofs but also smaller buildings. EU pressure leads to all flat roofs requiring green roofs by 2045, changing the urban structure.
Sustainable Neighborhood Plan
In January 2018, the City of Stockton was awarded a $170,000 Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) Planning Grant by the California Strategic Growth Council to support planning activities in the Downtown and South Stockton region. To mobilize this grant Mayor Tubbs' Office, community partners, and the neighborhood residents created Rise Stockton to carry out this work. This Sustainable Neighborhood Plan (SNP) is a framework for sustainable development in Central and South Stockton. It seeks to translate community concerns and recommendations into shovel-ready projects and policy proposals.
Sustainable urban greening strategies.pdf
This document presents a strategy for sustainable urban greening in compact cities. It discusses applying urban ecological principles like adopting natural designs, optimizing green space connectivity, and enriching biodiversity. It also covers protecting existing nature assets like champion trees and spontaneous vegetation. The strategy aims to preserve trees during construction and transplant only as a last resort. It suggests augmenting greening through innovative techniques at narrow roadsides, improving poor urban soils, and embracing nontraditional greening sites. The overall goal is to develop a comprehensive approach to greening that considers physical, psychological and institutional barriers in both developing and developed economies.
Upos Jan 10
The document discusses the importance of open space to residents of Upper Providence Township. It highlights results from the 2005 Comprehensive Plan survey that show residents value parks and open spaces. Over 60% of residents get their water from Ridley Creek, so maintaining high water quality through open space preservation is important. However, there is development pressure that could threaten environmentally sensitive lands. The Township group UPOS works to preserve open spaces in line with the Comprehensive Plan and sees Scott Park as a valuable educational resource due to its diverse ecosystems.

Presentation1
The document describes plans for a new smart city called Lushrich located near Kenyir Lake in Terengganu, Malaysia. Lushrich will have a radial layout centered around green spaces and will aim to be fully sustainable with zero carbon emissions through the use of solar energy, wind turbines, hybrid vehicles, and underground transit. Challenges like the hot climate and steep terrain will be addressed by planting more trees and permeable pavement to prevent flooding. The city's design focuses on being self-sufficient while also preserving the surrounding environment.
An Understanding Of Green Infrastructure In Urban Design Context
This document discusses green infrastructure in urban design contexts. It defines green infrastructure as networks of natural and semi-natural areas that enhance ecosystem health, biodiversity, and human well-being. The benefits of green infrastructure include environmental, economic, and social advantages. Some challenges to implementing green infrastructure are high energy consumption, rapid urban growth in developing regions, financing, and lack of expertise. The document examines strategies like water sensitive urban design and green buildings, and provides examples of successful and unsuccessful green infrastructure projects.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

April 2015 Newsletter
- 1. Inside views and news The SKINNY G E O R G E T O W N - S C O T T C O U N T Y P L A N N I N G C O M M I S S I O N April 2015 March Landscape requirements amended Planning staff have been working on updating the Landscape and Land Use Buffers Ordinance to preserve existing trees, create a healthier environment for trees, and give developers more choice in the placement of trees. There are three main components to the proposed changes: 1) reducing the number of trees required in the interior vehicular use area by half, 2) creating overall canopy requirements to ensure adequate tree cover- age in developing urban areas, and 3) requiring landscape plans/tree protection plans with the initial submission of all Preliminary Development Plans and Preliminary Subdi- vision Plats. These changes in the Landscape Ordinance are proposed to affect only new develop- ment and amended development plans. Studies of several existing developments in Scott County show the proposed changes would result in little to no increase in the number of trees required for most developments. The biggest change will be the emphasis on the protection of existing trees by creating canopy standards with a bonus for protecting ex- isting canopied areas. Reducing the number of trees required in internal VUA areas will provide for a more suitable habitat for trees to mature and survive while retaining the same interior island area re- quirements. The public hearing regarding these proposed changes has been continued to the May 14th Planning Commission meeting. A copy of the current Landscape Ordinance can be found at www.gscplanning.com.

BCTC - in the Lanes Run Industrial Park Mapping Your World On April 16th , Georgetown College senior Lucy Davis pre- sented her proposal that GC shift from high-pressure, sodi- um to solar-powered, LED fix- tures for lighting around cam- pus. Our GIS department ad- vised how, via aerial imagery and ground truthing, she could map locations of the existing fixtures. The GIS department is excited about the work Lucy has begun and will be housing the data so it can be used to support future projects. Planning 100 years ago Patrick Geddes was regarded as the father of the social theories underlying modern city planning. He was a Scottish sociologist who also held the position of Assistant in Practical Botany at Edinburgh Universi- ty. A practical man, he believed deeply in the importance of citizens shaping their own communities. He and his wife moved into Edin- burgh’s Old Town, which at the time was a slum, and renovated a tene- ment. He established the Environment Society to encourage residents to survey, plan, and improve their own environment. Geddes developed an international reputation with the publication of the 1915 book Cities in Evolution, and with the Cities Exhibit that he toured in the 1890’s and early 1900’s. Cities, in his view, must connect geography, environment, and social pat- terns; cities are a series of common interlocking patterns. For Geddes, a truly integrated city had a cultural, educational, and spiritual structure. In a 1915 report on town planning in India, he wrote, “Town Planning is not mere place-planning, nor even work planning. If it is to be successful it must be folk planning . . . its task is to find the right places for people; places where they will really flourish . . . .” Jack Conner enjoyed the Pi Day celebration in the Planning Office!
