28	How Does the Planned Growth Strategy Build Communities? Traditional Neighborhood Development Principles Most homes are within a 5-10 minute walk of center and school Tree-shaded, pedestrian & bicycle-friendly streets, non-vehicular paths Natural environment integrated into neighborhood Buildings & improvements are compatible & attractive - design standards

In terms of vitality and development, PGS policies: Increase residential development in 1960 city limits Foster new mixed-use development along selected streets and centers Provide sufficient funding for aging infrastructure Create and fund system of incentives, regulatory relief & speedy development approval for desirable development

43	Implementation through Capital Improvement Program Link capital improvement plan (CIP) to projected levels of population & employment CIP contains program for correcting deficiencies & for rehabilitation Divide infrastructure into tiers – fully service, partially service, unserved. Link tiers to development impact fee charges.

45	Implementation Through Impact Fees Impact Fees are: Charges to developers to build capital improvements needed to support new growth Impact fees reflect market cost of service delivery, initially set at full marginal costs Based on capital projects included in the CIP to support growth
46	Implementation through Impact Fees Impact Fees lowered to reflect efficiencies based on land use, e.g. jobs-housing balance, Traditional Neighborhood Development neighborhood commercial centers, affordable housing. Impact Fees partially or fully waived based on desired development, e.g. along priority corridors, in redevelopment areas, for village commercial centers

49	How Do We Support Growth Efficiently? Priority: Develop First Where Capacity Exist
50	Implementation through Public Facility Concurrency Concurrency is a review of infrastructure, either built or in the capital improvement program, to to see whether adequate capacity exists Linked to: Preferred Alternative CIP Impact Fees
51	Implementation through Concurrency
52	Benefits of Level of Service Standards & Concurrency Important facilities are available for new residents and new employees Unreasonable deterioration of street service is avoided Schools have adequate facilities for new families Parks are developed in time with growth Transit and street capacities are merged
53	Implementation through Public Facility Concurrency Demand for facility and infrastructure capacity can be reduced to reflect efficiencies based on land uses, e.g. jobs-housing balance, neighborhood commercial centers, affordable housing. Concurrency requirement can be waived based on desired development, e.g. along priority corridors, in redevelopment areas, for village commercial centers. Infrastructure capacity can be allocated to specific desired projects, e.g. employment centers near housing, village commercial centers
54	How Does Planned Growth Strategy Involve the Community in Planning for the Future? Refine approach at neighborhood, area, corridor & center levels Implement design standards, incentives, regulatory relief, based on plans
