Explore over a decade of best practices and lessons learned from efforts across the country, including: zoning and comprehensive plan hacks; pre-approved plans; housing priority mapping, including case studies from Louisville, Kentucky, housing priority mapping; the Sacramento (California) Missing Middle Plan; missing middle scans from across the country; and the South Bend, Indiana, pre-approved plans process.
Five components of housing strategies are covered in this deep-dive session:
Selecting an approach: What geographic area the effort should cover and why, the relationship with your comprehensive/general plan, and political support in place to support these decisions.
Technical techniques, solutions, and lessons learned: How will your effort implement existing or newly created policy? What if you were to get rid of density caps? How should you utilize pro forma analysis to ensure the right incentivization?
Different collaboration models between staff and consultant: How much support does the city staff need with outreach, education, messaging, deflecting and resolving controversy, analysis, and detailed recommendations?
Distinct roles: Perspectives from a planning director, project manager, and consultant.
Messaging and community dialogue: How having the right dialogue and messaging can be key to building support for proposed changes.
