Vision: Utilize resources wisely and guide growth to achieve the regional vision. Goal Site regional public facilities, services and major developments in population centers in or adjacent to existing infrastructure and service areas. Objectives: • Cooperate on a regional basis in developing public facilities. • Locate public facilities in proximity to public transit. Goal Discourage large lot, low density as a primary zoning category. Objectives: • Provide incentives (density bonuses, special assessment districts, etc.) for cluster development and Planned Unit Developments (PUD). • Change zoning ordinances to limit low-density, single family as a use by right. • Implement state and local access management guidelines to preserve the transportation network and community character along collector and arterial roads. Goal Encourage high density development in areas served by public utilities. Objectives: • Encourage urban service boundaries. • Develop local design and community character guides to ensure quality in high density development. • Revise ordinances and regulations to pass the true installation and long term maintenance costs on to property owners requesting utility expansion. • Coordinate new development with transit. 31
Final Focus Group Results As part of finalizing the planning phase of the Regional Growth project, planners conducted a series of focus groups in May, 2004 which gathered opinions from a random sample of citizens from urban, suburban and rural areas of the region and leaders from throughout the region concerning their preferences for implementing results of the project. Some key results of these focus groups are listed below. • Of participants, 92 percent voted “yes” to the question “should the region implement the vision,” the final question posed to each group. Citizens responding “yes” total 94 percent. Leaders totaled 88 percent “yes votes.” Figure 14 shows the final results of this vote.
