Regional Stakeholder Engagement Strategy Overview
Phase II Work Scope
Develop Future Land Use Themes and Scenarios Land use theme addresses “How” question Land use scenario addresses “Where” question
Conduct Land Use Scenario Impact Assessment Develop scenario evaluation criteria Implement technical analysis to measure scenario impacts
Stakeholder Engagement is Critical
Incorporate sound technical analysis of good quality data throughout the process
Facilitate meaningful discussions and build a regional consensus
Seek extensive regional stakeholder engagement so that the outcome reflects a collective vision of regional stakeholders
Build a partnership with local jurisdictions and work closely with their staff
Foster strong support from regional leaders in both public and private sectors
Better integrate the Going Places planning process into MVRPC’s current regional transportation planning process
Phase II Process
Develop initial set of land use themes, theme characteristics/principles, and land use scenarios
Conduct community-based workshops and focus group meetings to refine land use themes and scenarios
Conduct technical analyses to evaluate preliminary land use impacts for each scenario
Conduct regional workshops to finalize land use themes and scenarios
Finalize land use scenario impact assessment
Stakeholder Outreach Strategy
Market and advertise various participation opportunities during Phase II Local media advertising – newspaper, radio, and TV Community newsletters published by local government and
other organizations Direct mail/Newspaper inserts/Press releases Information flyers and posters Online blogs/message boards/social networking sites Websites – MVRPC and other organization’s website News E-lerts Direct outreach at local festivals/special events
Information Sharing Strategy

other organizations Brochure, exhibits, and displays at conferences/local
festivals/special events Presentations at conferences/meetings News conferences/Public interest programs from the media Public open houses Websites – MVRPC and other organization’s website News E-lerts Online blogs/message boards/social networking sites Meetings with staff of various organizations
Stakeholder Involvement Strategy
Community-based workshop Engage the general public at a community level
Focus group meeting Engage the special interest groups
Regional workshop Bringing together past attendees and facilitate a regional
discussion To be hosted after all the community-based workshops and
focus group meetings are done
Open House Public Participation meetings Survey Leadership briefings and dialogue
Stakeholder Engagement Workshop Design
Two main goals: Educate and Engage Inform regional stakeholders about the Going Places
initiative, the importance of regional land use planning, and regional developmental trends, socioeconomic trends, and developmental constraints and opportunities
Involve regional stakeholders in the development process of future land use themes and future land use scenarios
Community Workshops in the evening for the general public
Focus Group Workshops during the daytime for the special interest groups
Workshop Agenda
A 90 minute workshop Part I
Going Places Overview (10 minutes) Existing Condition Review (10 minutes)
Part II Future Land Use Themes (15 minutes) Scenario Building (55 minutes)
Overview and Instruction (5 minutes) Mind Mapping Exercise (20 minutes) Dot Mapping Exercise (30 minutes)
Mind Mapping Exercise
Designed to solicit input on the principles and characteristics of each theme
Using a template provided, write down your thoughts on the question of“Given the projected need for future
population and job growth, in what ways should the Region invest the limited available resources?”
Dot Mapping Exercise
Designed to solicit input on the best areas for development for each theme
“Given the projected need for future population and job growth, in what parts of the Region should the limited available resources be invested?”
Using a map template, place dots throughout the Region Population dots Employment dots
Phase II Timeline
Land Use Themes and Scenarios Briefing
Business As Usual
Business As Usual
Definition
Future development continues the trend of decreasing density and intensity and continues to occur at the outskirts of existing urban areas
Infill/Conservation Development
Infill/Conservation Development
Definition
Future development is concentrated in existing urban areas, using existing infrastructure and underutilized land while discouraging suburban and exurban development patterns
Asset-Based Development
Asset-Based Development
Definition
Future development is concentrated around existing regional assets – natural, built, cultural, economic, and social resources
Radial Corridor Development
Radial Corridor Development
Definition
Future development along existing transportation corridors and junctions, maximizing the use of existing roadways and transit networks
Unrestricted Development
Definition
Future development guided only by the market, not by any planning mechanisms
Carrying Capacity
Carrying Capacity
Definition
Future development will be guided by the ability of the Region’s natural resources to support it.

Green Dot = 250 people
Land Use Scenarios
Orange Dot = 250 jobs
2000 feet by 2000 feet
“Dots” are assigned to tiles
Tiles are assigned point valuesaccording to how many “dots” are placed in each tile
1 dot = 10 points
Higher Combined Values =Higher Concentration of Jobs/People
Lower Combined Values = Lower Concentration
