We are pleased to inform you that the International Guidelines on Urban and Territorial Planning have been approved by the UN-Habitat Governing Council last Friday.
We are grateful for the instrumental support of the co-sponsors of the Resolution (France, Japan, South Africa and Uganda)….
We attach here some relevant documents (also available on-line at http://unhabitat.org/gc25/) that we encourage you to use and share with your constituencies, partners and professional networks:
1. Resolution 25/L5 that approves the Guidelines and gives a mandate for their implementation and monitoring.
2. Press Release that you may wish to adapt and disseminate as appropriate.
3. Final Guidelines in the 6 UN languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Spanish, Russian): currently being put in a proper lay-out for outreach and communication purposes.
4. Compendium of Inspiring Practices: sample of an on-going, larger and open initiative to document inspirational and international experiences on Urban and Territorial Planning that illustrates the Guidelines….
We will continue to explore…avenues to inform global and regional agendas as well as country operations. An immediate activity could be to translate the Guidelines in other languages (eg: Portuguese, Indonesian...) for broader outreach and impacts. We are open to suggestions and count very much on your feedback and active participation….
We thank you for your continuous engagement and commitment. We look forward to keeping you with us in this exciting IG-UTP journey.
The resolution authorizes the city administration to cancel or postpone the closing of a purchase and sale agreement with Honolulu Affordable Housing Partners if needed to comply with a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development deadline for spending funds from affordable housing projects. The agreement involved the sale of city low- and moderate-income housing projects to the partnership for renovation. Meeting the May 2014 deadline to spend the funds is difficult, and missing it could reduce the city's future funding. The resolution requests a report on any decision and further council action required.

These steps include issuing a Notice of Requirement, public consultation, recommendations by local authorities, potential appeals to the Environment Court, and compensation for acquired or impacted private land. The multi-year process will require navigating the Resource Management Act, Public Works Act, Historic Places Act, and Government Roading Powers Act.

The document analyzes the legislative history of California Senate Bill 375 and argues that the bill's intent was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from vehicle travel, not to mandate reductions in vehicle miles traveled. It summarizes the evolution of the bill from early versions that focused on limiting VMT to the final version, which references VMT but does not mandate its reduction. The document concludes that local governments and regional planners should focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles through various strategies rather than focusing solely on limiting VMT.

2) The Community Infrastructure Levy aims to capture some of the land value uplift from development to fund new infrastructure, but regulations and viability concerns have limited its effectiveness.
3) In weak economic times, regeneration and residential land delivery face challenges from constrained public spending and credit availability, changing the way infrastructure is funded and sites are brought forward.

The report will recommend that the Council either include $150,000 in the FY 2021/22 budget to evaluate placing a ballot measure before voters in November 2022, or have staff report back in 2023 after the next Pavement Management System report. The background provided notes that additional revenue will be needed to maintain Saratoga's current pavement condition index score of 67 based on the most recent report.

Specific channels discussed include websites, Facebook, Twitter, Scoop It, and newsletters. The document stresses starting small with content efforts and evaluating their impact using tools like Google Analytics and Facebook Insights.
The document summarizes various tax considerations related to conveying land through different types of transactions, including sale during life, donation during life, and donation at death. It notes that for sales during life, the seller may owe capital gains tax, while donations during life may qualify for income tax deductions or estate tax reductions depending on the type of donation. Donations at death may allow estate or inheritance tax reductions or exemptions. The document provides details on federal, state, and local tax laws governing these different scenarios.
NeighborSpace is a non-profit land trust that works to acquire land within Baltimore County's Urban Rural Demarcation Line to improve communities and the environment by conserving public open space. Most of Baltimore County's 805,000 residents live within this area, which covers only 1/3 of the county's total land and was developed before rules requiring open space set asides, so land is scarce and conservation is a high priority.
The strategic plan outlines NeighborSpace's vision to preserve green open spaces in established Baltimore County neighborhoods. The plan details 5 goals: 1) acquire more land for open spaces, 2) engage communities in stewardship of spaces, 3) expand communications and outreach, 4) diversify revenue sources, and 5) strengthen operational capacity. Major strategies include developing land acquisition, property management, and communications/fundraising plans to achieve these goals and fulfill NeighborSpace's mission.
The document discusses conservation defense insurance, which provides land trusts coverage for legal costs associated with defending land conservation easements or fee lands. It is important because most land trusts do not have adequate funds set aside for litigation expenses, which are growing risks as population increases. Conservation defense insurance insulates land trusts from draining endowments to pay legal fees, gives financial certainty, and demonstrates commitment to permanence required by the IRS and land trust standards. It works through a "captive" insurance model where land trusts pay annual premiums of $60 per property into a fund managed by a committee to pay legal claims up to $500,000. The program provides coverage for litigation defense, enforcement of rights, and appeals.
The document discusses several urban land trusts in different cities that work to preserve, acquire, and manage urban open spaces like parks, gardens, and natural areas. It provides details on the organizations in Boston, LA, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Baltimore, including their missions, years founded, and number of staff members. Financial information is also given for the value of land holdings for each trust.
The document discusses open space in Baltimore County and the role of NeighborSpace in protecting small parks, gardens, and natural areas. It notes that the majority of county residents live within the Urban Rural Demarcation Line where population is dense and open space is scarce. NeighborSpace was created in 2002 to form community partnerships and receive funding from fees paid in lieu of developers providing open space. The document outlines different land transaction types that NeighborSpace utilizes such as fee simple purchases, easement purchases, and donations to preserve open space. Maps show existing and potential NeighborSpace sites across the county. Principles of linked networks of open space that balance development and environmental needs are discussed.
1. Referendum Process (during each yr of a general election):
(1) In March, after it has reviewed proposed capital projects, the Planning Board makes recommendations “for borrowing

of Budget. Balt. Cnty Charter, Sec. 705(a)(1). See also, http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/ Agencies/planning/ public_
