Director Henderson asked the board to identify the metrics that they’d like to see move forward for the Community Plan and to identify any metrics they feel are missing for a measureable outcome and to track progress. Following, the group discussed the Citizen Survey Indicator from the Goals & Objectives v7 document, listed under Objective A: “The Shape of the City”, Goal #1: “Ensure that all City actions support the continued development of the City consistent with its adopted plans and standards.” 07:38:43 PM (00:39:05) Board members provided feedback regarding the metrics proposed within Shape of the City, Goal #1. 07:41:35 PM (00:41:57) Board member Costakis presented a document from the American Planning Association which listed some potential metrics for planning healthy communities. 07:47:13 PM (00:47:35) Board members discussed metrics for Goal #1: “Support well-planned, walkable neighborhoods designed to retain and enhance character” within Objective B: A City of Neighborhoods. 07:48:38 PM (00:49:00) Board member Jerry Pape raised concerns regarding the initial objectives under Goal #1 within Objective B, “A City of Neighborhoods.” Following, the group discussed issues surrounding walkability and intersection density. 07:58:49 PM (00:59:11) Board member discussed whether “Residential Density” belongs as an indicator within this goal or if it should be included elsewhere. 08:01:08 PM (01:01:30) Board members discussed Objective B, Goal #2: “Pursue simultaneous emergence of commerce support nodes and residential development through diverse mechanisms in appropriate locations.” Proposed indicators included commercial nodes and commercial accessibility. 08:10:54 PM (01:11:16) Board members discussed removing Objective B, Goal #3: “Encourage identifiable neighborhoods” as it may be covered in other areas of the Community Plan and has no metrics for measurement. 08:12:07 PM (01:12:29) Board members discussed Objective B, Goal #4: “Promote an adequate supply of diverse quality housing units” Indicators include housing stock diversity, housing cost burden, and rentals. Board members discussed the potential data used to measure these metrics, including MT Dept. of Revenue and MLS as possible resources. 08:26:27 PM (01:26:49) Board members determined that it would be beneficial to change the wording of Goal #4 to: “Promote an adequate and diverse supply of housing units.” 08:26:55 PM (01:27:17) Board members discussed Objective B, Goal #5: “Distribute growth throughout the City, including a gradual increase in intensity within developed areas.” Board members focused on density as an indicator as it pertains to residential & commercial units, maximizing development per zoning capacity, and population. Mr. Saunders cautioned that it may be difficult to measure density with all of the different types of density. 08:37:41 PM (01:38:03) Board members discussed Objective C, Goal #1: “Ensure multimodal connectivity within and between districts.” Board members discussed the fact that this goal doesn’t currently have associated metrics, but member Mark Egge proposed utilizing “Bike Score”, “Walk Score”, and “Transit Score” as options. Board members also discussed whether it’s appropriate to change the wording of the goal to “Encourage” rather than “Ensure.” “Commute Mode Share” was also proposed as a potential metric for measurement of this goal. 08:48:01 PM (01:48:23) Board members discussed Objective C, Goal #2: “Promote districts through diverse housing, commerce, and employment opportunities.” Board members discussed how this goal differs from others, ultimately deciding to combine Objective C, Goal #2 with the unnumbered goal below: “Support urban development within the City.” 08:53:57 PM (01:54:19) Board members discussed the metrics associated with item Objective C., Goal #2. 08:57:12 PM (01:57:34) Board members discussed the metrics associated with Objective C, Goal #3 (unnumbered on document): “Support urban development within the City.” Discussion primarily revolved around the definitions of infill and ex-fill.
