compared with younger adults, who most frequently have access to private automobiles,however, the assessment seems to indicate that access to schools or other civic buildings, usedmost frequently by seniors and children, are not provided strong access via sidewalks orpathways.In short, the assessment identified a weakness with regard to formal walkability requirements orplanning, strength in maintenance of existing networks, and a need for access to specificfacilities most used by populations most in need of pedestrian access. Therefore, the City mayconsider devoting new recourses to more aggressive sidewalk and pathway planning andrequirements, especially where mixed-use areas and civic uses are concerned.Tenet 3: Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions.Points Awarded 222Points Missed 330Percentage 40%Troy was awarded approximately 40 percent of the available points for Tenet 3, which promotescollaboration between the community and its stakeholders. While the participants perceived theCity of Troy to be very good about collaboration in formal settings, such as the development ofnew Zoning Ordinance amendments or Master Plan revisions, the perception of collaborationoutside of those programs was poor. In other words, respondents felt that the City has room toimprove when it comes to general encouragement of an open, collaborative environment withspecial interest groups, adjoining communities, and the general public, especially as it relates tosmart growth principles.The assessment did identify that the city has funded Staff education, and that officials havedeveloped new programs or positions on various topics as result of new information provided byStaff as a result.Another area where the City could improve its score in this area is to develop strongercommunity outreach programs with regard to planning and growth issues. While collaborationwith schools scored well, education and collaboration with the general public, especially wheninitiated by the City itself, was not perceived well.Tenet 4: Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place.Points Awarded 197Points Missed 422Percentage 32%Appendix 1.2: Smart Growth Readiness Assessment Results Summary 146
The assessment awarded Troy just over 30 percent of the available points with regard to thefostering of attractive communities with a sense of place. The most points were awarded to theCity for its strength in the area of promoting good site design for neighborhood commercial andhighway commercial development. The City missed points in the areas of historic preservation,light regulation, and streetscape design. Perhaps most notably, the City has not activelypromoted historic preservation programs, although the extent of resources which could bepreserved is not factored in.While site design practices for commercial development scored well, the same was not true forresidential developments or for streetscapes in general. In particular, areas for increasedscores could be found for streetscape landscaping, natural features preservation, or thedevelopment of more residential units in mixed-use developments.Tenet 5: Make development decisions predictable, fair, and cost-effective.Points Awarded 400Points Missed 140Percentage 74%The City scored very well within the Tenet 5 section, which dealt with land use developmentdecision-making. The City received nearly 75 percent of the available points in this area, thanksto a strong perception that the City diligently maintains it’s Zoning Ordinance, Master Plan, andother community planning documents, its consistency between its zoning and planning, andperception of fairness to the development community. Respondents felt that developers aregiven a fair chance to innovate in Troy, and that most new development makes a strongcontribution to the City as a whole.The City could score even higher in this area were it to permit additional density for developerswho propose more smart-growth oriented developments. Also, participants felt that moreattention to long-range planning could be paid, although there was a positive recognition thatcurrent practices for ongoing development were strong and fair.The City received extra points for supporting participation in elected and appointed officialtraining programs, such as the Michigan State University Extension Citizen Planner Program,and continuing education in the area of planningTenet 6: Mix land uses.Points Awarded 230Points Missed 531Percentage 30%Appendix 1.2: Smart Growth Readiness Assessment Results Summary 147
