The document summarizes the results of a community engagement process and scenario survey for the PLANiTULSA comprehensive planning process in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Over 1,500 people participated in community workshops and more than 5,800 responded to an online and paper scenario survey. The survey presented 4 scenarios for Tulsa's future growth and asked respondents which they preferred. About half of respondents chose Scenario D as their favorite and Scenario C was the second choice. The survey responses were generally representative of Tulsa's population demographically. The results will help guide the development of Tulsa's new comprehensive plan.
This document discusses using prototypes and a return on investment (ROI) model to evaluate potential development scenarios. It provides examples of building prototypes like mixed-use, residential, retail, and industrial buildings. The ROI model is used to physically and financially model different development options. Case studies from Tulsa, Oklahoma and Portland, Oregon are described where building prototypes were created and an analysis of redevelopment potential was conducted by assessing property values.
Here are the key points relating the Economic Development Strategy to where development should be focused in Greater Downtown Waco given its large size:
- Focus initial catalytic projects in areas that will have the biggest impact, such as near existing assets like Heritage Square and City Hall. Smaller pilot projects can activate underutilized spaces.
- Prioritize areas with potential for high density, mixed-use development within walking distance of the core downtown and transit stops. This includes areas near Baylor and along major corridors leading to other activity centers.
- Leverage Greater Downtown's assets like the Baylor campus, libraries, parks and open spaces by concentrating new development in surrounding areas to create active hubs connected by improved pedestrian and transit infrastructure.
The document summarizes methodology used to collect results from two community sessions on September 1, 2009 in Apache Junction with 238 attendees, and September 2, 2009 in Anthem with 74 attendees. Participants were asked questions about where they live, their age, who they represent, opinions on population growth and quality of life, preferred housing mix and density, willingness to pay for energy efficiency, economic development priorities, and important factors for planning the future.

The document summarizes the results of a citizen survey conducted as part of the PLANiTulsa process to develop a comprehensive plan for Tulsa, Oklahoma. Over 5,000 citizens responded to the survey about their preferences between 4 scenarios for Tulsa's future growth. The key findings were:
- Scenario D, which focused growth around a strengthened downtown, was the overall preferred scenario by 49% of respondents. Scenario C was preferred by 29%.
- Younger Tulsans most strongly favored Scenario D which creates a more lively and interesting city.
- There was strong support for investments in light rail/streetcar systems and expanding housing and job opportunities downtown.
This document summarizes the responses from an instant poll conducted at a planning workshop for the Lancaster Corridor area. The poll included questions about demographics of attendees, how they use the corridor, and their preferences for future development. Key results include that over half of attendees live within 3 miles of the corridor and use it for work and errands. There was strong support for mixed-use development including senior housing, additional restaurants and grocery stores, and a job training center. Respondents favored a theater pub/restaurant and community center over other entertainment options. Most believed incubator space and small retail services were needed along the corridor.
This document summarizes the results of a survey of over 3,300 residents in East Baton Rouge Parish about their priorities and vision for the future of the parish. Key findings include that respondents prioritized improving the economy and revitalizing downtown neighborhoods. A majority said they would support public transit and connecting the parish to other areas by rail. Respondents also favored preserving wetlands and open spaces over constructing new roads. The survey provides insight into residents' preferences to guide planning decisions for the parish.

This document summarizes a presentation about analyzing the impacts of transit-oriented development (TOD) from a regional land use perspective. It compares a TOD-oriented land use scenario to other alternatives using metrics like land consumption, density, traffic impacts, and redevelopment. The analysis found that a TOD scenario could save agricultural and environmental lands while improving traffic flows and air quality compared to a trend-based scenario. It also discusses lessons learned, like how TOD works best when combined judiciously with highway development and supports infill and redevelopment.
The document provides an overview and background information on Raleigh's 2030 Comprehensive Plan. It discusses Raleigh's population and development trends leading up to 2006, including rapid suburban growth and sprawl. It then outlines the planning process used to create the 2030 Plan, which included extensive public engagement, policy analysis, and coordination between technical experts and civic groups. The 2030 Plan focused growth into designated centers and corridors to promote more sustainable and equitable development patterns.
The presentation covered transit oriented development (TOD), its benefits, and its role in the Wollaston area. TOD integrates housing, offices, retail, and amenities within a half mile of quality public transit. Benefits include decreased transportation costs, economic opportunity, and environmental gains. The presentation analyzed Wollaston's transit options, demographics of area residents, and development characteristics to understand opportunities for improving transit access and integrating new housing and businesses. Attendees then discussed values, development sites, businesses, and connectivity improvements to enhance Wollaston Center.

This document discusses the challenges of urbanization in the 21st century. It begins by looking at current urbanization trends, showing that urban populations are growing rapidly in developing regions of the world. It then examines the prevailing urbanization model of large high-density developments separated by green space and highways. For Africa specifically, it notes issues like widespread slums, lack of basic services, and high unemployment. Finally, it proposes ways forward, including establishing national urban policies, increasing density through planned infill and extensions, and focusing on public space, mixed uses, and social integration in urban planning.

This document discusses the need for "Complete Streets" policies that ensure roadway design considers all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and motorists of all ages and abilities. It provides examples of Complete Streets design features that make streets safer and more accessible for older adults, such as widened shoulders, protected bike lanes, increased signage and pavement markings. The document advocates that Complete Streets policies change transportation planning practices and shift investments to better accommodate all road users over time. It identifies resources for developing effective Complete Streets policies and implementation strategies.
The document summarizes the results of a citizen survey conducted for the City of College Station, Texas by National Service Research. Key findings include:
1) Providing public safety (police, fire, etc.) and maintaining streets and roads were rated as the most important city services. Public safety received the highest quality rating while street maintenance received a lower rating.
2) Other highly important services included attracting business and jobs, managing trash and recycling, and managing traffic congestion, though these received lower quality ratings.
3) The survey sampled over 800 residents through mailed and online surveys, achieving representation from different areas and subgroups of the city.

Mobile users are leaping forward in Vietnam, with lesser cities and rural users expected to leapfrog the PC journey. While internet usage among youth is saturated, mobile adoption is expected to significantly grow among those aged 35 and older, changing the online journey. As consumers spend more time online at home competing with or complementing TV, advertising needs to follow consumer eyeballs online where 9 in 10 rely on the internet for news over entertainment. However, trust remains a barrier to online purchasing.

The document summarizes the results of a citywide workshop on Beaverton's Civic Plan. Participants focused on revitalizing the central city around the Round and Transit Center, enhancing Beaverton Creek as an amenity, and improving transportation connectivity. Ideas included mixed-use development north of Farmington Road, integrating creeks into new public spaces, and evaluating couplet systems or calming traffic on Canyon Road to better connect areas divided by rail and highways.
The document summarizes the results of a citywide workshop in Beaverton, Oregon on September 27, 2010 regarding the Beaverton Civic Plan. Key topics discussed included central city revitalization, central city creeks and amenities, and transportation. Workshop participants focused new development north of Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, with a mix of uses including housing, commercial, civic and parks/open spaces. Ideas for enhancing Beaverton Creek and improving connectivity across transportation barriers like the railroad tracks were also discussed. Different options for the road network around the central city like couplet pairs and two-way streets were considered, with various tradeoffs noted.
This document provides an overview of coastal best practices for adapting to flooding and sea level rise. It discusses Louisiana's coastal context and patterns of development. It then describes an atlas being created to gather data to inform community planning. Next, it outlines strategies for community adaptation, including preventing flooding through barriers, adapting to occasional floods, and relocating as a last resort. Examples of each strategy are given from locations around the world. Finally, building prototypes and structural strategies are mentioned as future topics.
The document presents an interim report on developing a master plan for Superstition Vistas to guide future decision-making over the coming decades. It discusses creating a sustainable community by focusing on balanced development, water conservation, energy efficient buildings, and transportation systems that reduce auto use. The report examines population projections ranging from 261,000 to over 1 million for Superstition Vistas and considers regional values and trends. It also provides an overview of four development scenarios being tested with descriptions of scenario A.
The interim report presents four scenarios (A, B, C, D) for the future development of Superstition Vistas based on population projections, land use, transportation networks, job-housing balance, carbon footprint, water usage, and economic development strategies. Scenarios are evaluated based on acres of land developed, amount of open space preserved, transportation and building emissions, water demand, and suitability for attracting priority industries in three tiers over time. Compact, connected development is found to reduce emissions and water usage the most while supporting a range of industry growth.
The document summarizes the results of two community sessions held to discuss planning for the future of Superstition Vistas, a development in Arizona. Over 200 people attended the first session in Apache Junction and 70 attended the second in Anthem. Participants answered questions about demographics, priorities for development, and preferences regarding housing, transportation, jobs and the environment. A preferred development scenario will be created based on the input to best reflect what attendees want for their children and grandchildren. State land reform and investments in transportation were also discussed.
The document describes two scenarios - Scenario S and Scenario X. Scenario S is the preferred alternative and focuses on creating mixed-use centers around major transportation areas like transit hubs. It plans for a few regional centers and many neighborhood centers to provide close access throughout the area. Scenario S results in lower vehicle miles traveled, higher walk/bike and transit use, and reduced transportation emissions compared to Scenario X. Scenario X continues current trends with less dense, more auto-oriented development and no regional transit.
The document outlines forecasts for population growth and economic development across different zones in a parish from March to June. It projects that the Southern Growth Zone will see the best economy and focus of service industry growth. The EBR "T" area is planned for focused redevelopment and transit improvements to connect north and south downtown as an economic hub. The Northern Employment and Logistics zone is seen having potential for airport and business park expansion if a proposed loop is constructed. The Rural Parish region is forecast to see little growth pressure due to a lack of infrastructure and will likely remain in a natural state.
Here are some key considerations for organizing the City to help implement and incentivize place-based development:
1. Establish a dedicated development department or authority within the City structure that is focused solely on facilitating development projects from start to finish. This centralizes expertise.
2. Provide this group with dedicated funding sources and the ability to assemble land, write down deals, and offer targeted incentives to get priority projects off the ground. Land assembly and incentives are critical tools.
3. Engage in comprehensive planning for priority areas to establish a shared vision and guidelines for the types and intensities of development desired, along with supporting infrastructure needs. This provides predictability and coordination.
4. Proactively market sites and opportunities to
The document discusses demographic trends in the United States, including an aging population and increasing number of households without children. It also addresses trends in employment, income, crime rates, and population forecasts for Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Specifically, it notes that East Baton Rouge Parish's population is projected to decline slightly by 2030 while the Baton Rouge metro area grows. The document outlines different approaches to community planning, including traditional top-down models and more collaborative workshops that engage the public.
The document analyzes market conditions for residential, retail, office, and hotel uses in downtown Waco. It finds that the residential market is driven by Baylor students renting apartments, home prices are relatively affordable, and new residential product is lacking. The retail market typically attracts smaller stores downtown, while big box stores locate elsewhere. Much of the office space downtown needs renovation to attract tenants. Convention and visitor traffic has fueled Waco's hotel market, and there is an opportunity to capture more demand with a renovated convention center.
The document summarizes the results of a focus group discussion on developing guiding principles for downtown Waco. It notes that 14 focus groups were held with 74 people providing input. That input will be compiled and used at a workshop in November with a committee to develop the guiding principles. The focus group discussion included visions for downtown such as having local services, commercial developments on the river, being diverse and embracing all cultures, having more parks and recreation, and making east Waco vibrant.
The document discusses context sensitive solutions (CSS) for designing major urban thoroughfares to make them more walkable. CSS aims to balance safety, mobility, community objectives and the environment. It focuses on tailoring design to the surrounding context, including the street classification and context zone. CSS emphasizes flexibility, multimodal transportation prioritizing pedestrians and bicyclists, and public involvement. Street design elements like roadside zones, intersections and networks are discussed in relation to creating walkable environments.
The document provides an agenda and overview for a downtown planning workshop held in Waco, Texas. The agenda includes welcome remarks, mapping and visioning exercises, and sharing plans with the group. Background information discusses making the planning process inclusive, regional demographic shifts, the need for amenities near work, and case studies of successful downtown redevelopments. Participants then engage in exercises to map their visions for downtown, including transportation, land uses, and riverfront design. Their plans are presented and analyzed to help inform a future concept plan and implementation strategies for downtown Waco.
The document summarizes the methodology and results of two community sessions held to discuss planning for the future of Superstition Vistas, a development in Arizona. Attendees were asked questions about preferred housing mixes, transportation options, economic development priorities, and reforms needed to achieve different development scenarios. They were also asked about their willingness to pay for energy efficiency and environmental benefits.
The document discusses population growth trends in Pointe Coupee Parish and the Baton Rouge region from 1990 to 2040. It shows that the population of the Baton Rouge MSA has grown significantly and is projected to continue growing. Pointe Coupee Parish's share of the Baton Rouge MSA population has remained around 3-4% and its own population is projected to grow to around 60,000-70,000 by 2040. The document also contains maps and data on land use, transportation, jobs, and scenario planning to guide the parish's comprehensive plan.
The Waco 2050 Plan document outlines a visioning process for the future of Waco, Texas through 2050. It discusses national trends of an aging population, increasing single-person households, and approaching labor shortages. Existing conditions in Waco like demographic data and land use are analyzed. The planning process involves gathering public input through interviews, workshops, and open houses to develop scenarios for Waco's future growth, which could result in the population increasing by 100,000-135,000 people by 2050. The plan will provide strategies to guide development and redevelopment through 2050 based on the community's vision.
The document compares four transportation scenarios (A, B, C, D) for Tulsa in terms of investments in roads vs transit and key outcomes. Scenario A invests mostly in roads, Scenario B invests 41% in transit, Scenario C also invests 41% in transit, and Scenario D invests most in transit. Scenario A results in more driving, congestion, and wasted fuel/time, while Scenarios B, C and D result in less driving, congestion, and wasted resources through greater transit investments and multi-modal options. The document outlines various transportation tools and strategies Tulsa could employ over the next 30 years to improve its system under different investment scenarios.

24. Plan Chapter: Land Use
The Building Blocks
Tulsa’s future land uses will be broadly organized under
five main building blocks
• Downtown
• Corridors
• New Centers
• New Neighborhoods
• Existing Neighborhoods
25. Plan Chapter: Land Use
Downtown
• Downtown Tulsa will be the place to see
a concert, go shopping, or have a night
out on the town
• Plentiful office space and a great transit
system will make it easy for employers to
serve their clients and attract great talent
• Higher density housing in
condominiums, apartments, live-work
lofts, and town homes
27. Plan Chapter: Land Use
Corridors
Corridors serve as both travel routes
and destinations
High-capacity Arterial Streets
• Commercial corridors
• Auto-dominated
• Multimodal arterials
Main Streets
• Lower volume
• Serve neighbors and visitors alike
28. Plan Chapter: Land Use
Corridors
High-capacity
Arterial Streets
• Will be upgraded to
accommodate cars,
transit, bikes and
pedestrians
• Key centers will have
more pedestrian and
transit amenities
• New mixed-use
development will also
serve existing
surrounding
neighborhoods
29.
30. Plan Chapter: Land Use
Corridors
Main Streets
• Narrower streets,
generally lower traffic
volume
• Park once and walk to
multiple destinations
• Linear neighborhood
centers
• Attractive, interesting
places with wide
sidewalks and on-
street parking
31. Plan Chapter: Land Use
New Centers
Eastgate Metroplex
Example
• Enhanced by transit
services
• Add retail, grocery stores,
mixed-use residential to
enrich the area
• Build mix of housing
types on surrounding
vacant land
32.
33. Plan Chapter: Land Use
Existing Neighborhoods
• Are one of Tulsa’s strongest
assets, and will be preserved
• Are considered areas of stability
• Most enhancements will be
through improvements to
surrounding main streets and
arterials
• These will add more amenities
and improve connectivity to the
rest of the city
34. Plan Chapter: Transportation
Transportation
• Tulsans will have a wide variety
of transportation choices for
getting around town.
• Drive, bike, or catch a quick and
reliable bus or streetcar to just
about anywhere.
• The network of transit options,
large arterials, pedestrian-
friendly neighborhoods and
employment centers will result
in one of the safest, most
efficient transportation systems
in the country.
35.
36. Plan Chapter: Transportation
Transit
• Emphasis will be on building a
strong system with continuous
improvement to build support
and ridership
• Focus on 2-3 key corridors that
serve Downtown, North and
East Tulsa
• As ridership grows, expand
frequent service across the grid
to support new centers and
neighborhoods
37. Plan Chapter: Transportation
Highways and Freight
• Freight access should be
improved through investments
to disentangle it from local
traffic
• Utilize the Gilcrease
Expressway Extension to an
intermodal hub northeast of
Tulsa International Airport
• Investing in city streets and
arterials and expanding
accessibility will also help
relieve highway congestion
38. Plan Chapter: Transportation
Walking and Biking
• Will make many improvements
to existing neighborhoods and
along main streets and
corridors
• Continue to expand Tulsa’s
existing network of paths and
trails
• Bicycle travel, especially during
good weather, make up a
significant share of
transportation trips
39. Matching Street Design to Land Use
One size does not fit all
Streets should respond to the land uses around them
40. Plan Chapter: Transportation
Smart Parking
• Tulsans will still, by and large, drive
their cars
• City’s approach will be to optimize
the efficiency of parking, instead of
requiring too much
• New development will be allowed to
utilize on-street parking, and the city
will plan for parking districts with
shared lots
• Mixed use parking garages with
retail on the ground floor blend in
well with surrounding buildings
41. Plan Chapter: Economic Development
Economic Development
• Tulsa will need a vigorous and strategic
approach to economic development
• Coordinated with land use, housing,
transportation and the factors that affect
residents’ quality of life like parks, open space
and education.
• Tulsa must nurture its entrepreneurial
enterprises, ensure room for growth, and be
an attractive place to move or establish a
business
42. Plan Chapter: Housing
Housing
• The PLANiTULSA forecast and housing
analysis highlighted the need for some
additional housing choice
• 40,000 household goad with diverse mix
• Most of Tulsa’s housing stock is and will
continue to be single-family homes
• But there will be many households who will
prefer townhomes, condos and apartments
(especially downtown)
43. Plan Chapter: Parks
Parks
• Most Tulsans will live near a park and will
be able to walk or bike there
• Schools and parks will make use of the
same facilities
• Downtown will feature urban parks with
fountains, playgrounds, and other
amenities to bring nature into the city
• PLANiTULSA will coordinate with the 2009
City of Tulsa Master Parks Plan now in
production
44. Plan Chapter: Open Space
Open Space
• Tulsa’s natural environments – waterways,
floodplains and open space – provide a break
from the hustle and bustle of living in an urban
environment.
• Tulsa will work to bring nature to the city, and
connect Tulsans with the Arkansas River, Turkey
Mountain Urban Wilderness Area, and other
open spaces
• Tulsa will continue to be a leader in integrating
stormwater management with development
45. Plan Chapter: Sustainability
Sustainability and the Built
Environment
In the energy-constrained world of the future,
Tulsa will be a major leader in creating high
quality places for people to live, work, and
play … but with a small footprint on the
environment.
• Building design will emphasize energy
and water efficiency and make use of
renewable building materials
• Continue and enhance the storm water
and hazard mitigation plans of the City

47. Strategic Plan Preview
How We Will Achieve Our Vision
While creating the vision is a critically important step,
effective implementation will be the measure of its
success.
• Remove barriers to desired actions
• Coordinate public investments
• Create new strategic partnerships
48. Strategic Plan Preview
Proposed Strategies
Specific implementation strategies to reshape fundamental aspects of Tulsa’s
approach to land use, transportation, and economic development will build on
and sustain the vision.
• Step 1: Revise the Zoning Code
• Step 2: Create a Redevelopment Strategy
• Step 3: Develop a New Transportation Strategy
• Step 4: Conduct Neighborhood and Small Area Planning in Key Areas
• Step 5: Develop PLANiTULSA Innovative Buildings as Demonstration Projects
• Step 6: Organize Planning and Development Functions for Implementation
49. Achieving the Vision: Strategies
Step 1: Revise the Zoning Code
Update the Code to align with the goals of the Plan
Tulsa’s zoning code should:
• Be Easy to Use
• Allow More Diverse Building Types
• Enable Innovative Parking Solutions
• Align Development Incentives with
Goals of Plan
51. Plans and Implementation
District Plan 6: Brookside Special
Districts
Northern Brookside Business Area
Pg 6-11
The Brookside area is an urban village with its own
special identity, sense of community, pattern of
development and unique characteristics. The
protection, preservation and enhancement of this
urban village are of paramount importance. There are
certain design policies and standards appropriate for
improvements in the study area…
52. Plans and Implementation
An additional plan for the area:
Brookside Infill Neighborhood
Detailed Implementation Plan
(2002)
In general, this plan addresses:
• Public realm and streetscape
design
• Infill development design
53. Plans and Implementation
Public realm and
streetscape design
Plan seeks to preserve pedestrian-
oriented and high-quality urban
design character.
Outlines Policies for
• sidewalks and pedestrian crossings
• street furniture
• lighting and street trees
It establishes a “look and feel” that
will serve the neighborhood well, if
implemented
54. Plans and Implementation
The plan does
recommend creating a
shared parking facility in
the district.
But the District 6 Plan,
which is also in effect,
states that new
development or reuse of
buildings must provide
off-street parking as
required by the code

74. Achieving the Vision: Strategies
Step 2: Create a Redevelopment Strategy
• Forge a redevelopment future for Tulsa
– Broaden the range of housing options
– Create new kinds of workspaces
– Make efficient use of existing infrastructure
• Reclaim and reinvest in
– Downtown Tulsa
– Urban corridors
– Former industrial sites
– Struggling urban
neighborhoods
– New town centers
75. Achieving the Vision: Strategies
Step 3: Develop a New Transportation Strategy
Making the transportation-land use connection
• Create Livable Networks
• Improve Transportation Modeling
Techniques
• Manage Transportation Assets
• Use Context Sensitive Solutions
• Modernize Transportation Funding
76. Achieving the Vision: Strategies
• Create livable networks
– Use Tulsa’s legacy of a great grid network
– Rethink emphasis on moving cars
– Focus on helping people get where they want to go and serving
surrounding communities
– Transform corridors into places as well as transportation facilities
79. Achieving the Vision: Strategies
Step 4: Conduct Neighborhood and Small Area
Planning in Key Areas
Neighborhood planning is key to redevelopment
• Redevelopment will need to be
carefully designed to work with
existing communities
• Each plan should have measurable
performance indicators and include
funding and implementation plans
• Compatible zoning and parking solutions should be
adopted in conjunction with the plan
80. Achieving the Vision: Strategies
Step 5: Develop Key PLANiTULSA Prototypes as
Demonstration Projects
• Begin with projects that have a high
likelihood of success
#2
• Engage the development community #1
#3
and set up for success before tackling
more difficult projects
• Don’t try for home runs – start with
base hits
• Work to establish a development
process that will enable similar
projects to be built by the private
sector
82. Achieving the Vision: Strategies
Step 6: Organize Planning and Development
Functions for Implementation
Our ambitious agenda for change requires a high degree of coordination and skill
• Organization matters!
• Tulsa’s planning and development
functions are spread between many
agencies and departments
• Consider consolidation or closer
coordination between planning, zoning,
permits, economic development, capital
planning, redevelopment

86. The Future
The Future Is in Our Hands
The PLANiTULSA process illustrates our vision in the future.
A consensus vision, based on input from thousands of
participating Tulsans show how the Tulsa of tomorrow will
offer more choices and opportunities if we take action
today.
Capturing our vision was the easy part.
Making that dream a reality will require Leadership,
Dedication, Hard Work, and Cooperation among people
with different perspectives, opinions and expertise.
Together Tulsa can set things in motion – we can
accomplish amazing results that will move our city toward
a bright future.
