Eli Spevak- (Re) Introducing Petite, Discreet and Affordable Homes for Today'...Heartland2050
The document introduces petite, discreet, and affordable homes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as housing solutions for smaller households. It notes that while household sizes are decreasing, housing stock remains focused on larger units. The document then provides examples of "missing middle" housing types like row homes, duplexes, and ADUs that could help address this mismatch. It also outlines common barriers to ADU development and strategies for promoting ADUs, including educational materials, advocacy, and sharing success stories.

The document appears to be the results of a visual preference survey conducted by the City of Omaha Planning Department on November 14th, 2019 related to Transit Oriented Development. The survey asked participants to rate examples of residential building designs on acceptability and preference using a scale. It also gathered information on what design elements participants felt were most important and their views on accessory dwelling units.
Eli Spevak- (Re) Introducing Petite, Discreet and Affordable Homes for Today'...Heartland2050
This document introduces small, affordable housing options such as accessory dwelling units (ADUs) that could help meet the needs of smaller households. It provides several reasons for the growing interest in ADUs, including a lack of housing choices, their adaptability over life stages, environmental benefits, and affordability. The document outlines different ADU types like detached units, internal conversions, and tiny homes. It also discusses rules for ADUs, common barriers to their construction, and examples of successful ADU programs.
Panel #1: Demographic and Economic Considerations for Future Housing NeedsHeartland2050
This document summarizes housing options and challenges for older residents in Nebraska. It discusses the importance of aging-friendly communities that provide essential services within walking distance and adequate transportation. It also describes strategies for aging in place, including home modifications and payment sources. Specific housing models are outlined, such as visitable homes, universal design, supportive housing like accessory dwelling units and congregate housing. Challenges around affordability and accessibility in rural Nebraska are also addressed.
Panel #3: Achieving Missing Middle Housing: Development and Zoning Considerat...Heartland2050
The document discusses expanding housing choices through "missing middle" housing options. It recommends making these options available by updating zoning laws to allow more housing types like duplexes and fourplexes as permitted rather than conditional uses and reducing parking requirements. It also recommends making these options and their benefits known to regulatory bodies, developers, financial institutions, and communities to gain acceptance and support. It concludes by providing contact information for the author to discuss missing middle housing further.
This document provides a summary of a presentation on creating livable communities for people of all ages. The presentation discusses AARP's work in this area including establishing age-friendly states and communities, demonstration projects, and advocacy for policy changes. It highlights data from surveys finding that most older adults want to remain in their homes and communities as they age. The presentation emphasizes partnerships and provides examples of how communities can support transportation, housing, civic engagement and other features important for livability.

This document summarizes a workshop on transformational transportation technologies. It began with an introduction to autonomous and connected vehicles, describing the key technologies like cellular connectivity, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and lidar sensors that enable autonomous functionality. It then discussed emerging technologies like smart cities and finding funding. The rest of the document provided more depth on autonomous vehicles, connected vehicle systems, smart city initiatives like Columbus' winning proposal, and opportunities for funding deployment of new transportation technologies.
Heartland 2050 Vibrant Community Gardens-UNMCHeartland2050
This document discusses using a collective impact strategy to improve community health through community gardening. It describes the benefits of community gardens for eating healthy foods, physical activity, beautifying neighborhoods, and improving social connections. The document then provides an example of a collective impact project called City Sprouts South, located at the Dorothy Patach Environmental Area, that incorporated community gardening, block parties, and other events to build community.
This document discusses sustainable and affordable housing options in the Midwest. It finds that while over 180,000 energy star certified and 130,000 LEED certified multi-family units have been built in the US, the Heartland region of Nebraska and Iowa have fewer such units relative to population. Developing energy efficient housing through standards like Energy Star, LEED, and Passive House can provide financial benefits to developers and tenants through incentives, higher property values, and reduced energy costs, but many in the region are not taking advantage of these opportunities.
This document summarizes research on enhancing transportation demand management (TDM) options at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. It finds that UNO currently relies heavily on single-occupancy vehicles compared to peer universities. Implementing a multi-pronged TDM strategy including expanded transit subsidies and incentives for biking/carpooling would be more cost-effective than continuing to increase parking capacity. The research recommends modifying parking fees to better reflect costs, expanding the free MavRide program, and collaborating regionally on promoting sustainable transportation options.
This document discusses inclusive economic development strategies for Omaha, Nebraska. It finds that while traditional attraction-based economic development has benefited the city overall, it has masked significant economic disparities experienced by racial minority groups. It argues that entrepreneurship-based development, which focuses on supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses, can help create more inclusive growth. Key points include:
- Minority groups in Omaha have higher poverty rates, lower incomes, and higher unemployment than whites.
- Minority business ownership, sales, and employment are also significantly lower than national averages.
- Entrepreneurship can create jobs, wealth, and economic opportunities in disadvantaged communities.
- An "ecosystem" approach is needed
The document summarizes the results of the MetroQuest survey conducted for the Heartland 2050 regional visioning project. Some key findings include:
- Residents see a strong economy and job growth as most important for quality of life. They want investment in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
- Affordability is seen as a strength but residents are concerned about inequality and crime.
- Support for active transportation, mixed-use development, and investing in existing communities rather than expanding outward.
- Education and health care access are also priorities.
David Harris, Chair of the Equity & Engagement Committee (EEC), presented an update to the Steering Committee highlighting past achievements and upcoming activities.

This document provides results from a quantitative study of 400 residents in the Omaha-Council Bluffs region regarding their quality of life, priorities, values and issues. Some key findings include:
- Respondents view their quality of life as better than 5 years ago and expect further improvement, though reducing crime is seen as the most important priority.
- Over two-thirds see their quality of life and the region's direction as positive and increasing. However, high taxes and crime are identified as having the biggest negative impact on quality of life.
- The majority are optimistic about the local economy, though income inequality emerges as a concern. Maintaining jobs, education, and affordable costs of living are also high priorities.
The document summarizes the minutes from a steering committee meeting for the Heartland 2050 planning process. It includes an overview of the planning process presented by the executive director and presentations on land and natural resources, demographics and mobility, and housing and built environment from research teams.
