HomeMy WebLinkAboutChapter 4 - Implentation 6-5-2020PLANNING BOARD DRAFT, 28 APRIL 2020 49 04 | IMPLEMENTATION IMPORTANCE The Plan is intended to be a living document used daily by the City. Monitoring determines how well the City’s initial objectives are working, where they can be improved, and what is not working. Monitoring will take place at specified intervals based on information availability. Measuring the Plan’s efficacy (or outcomes) is a main tenant of the Plan and; therefore, successful implementation of the Plan requires monitoring. A series of indicators have been identified for each theme, in order to track progress and setbacks. For example, one indicator under the neighborhoods-based theme addresses housing stock diversity, looks at square footage, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and taxable value. A diverse housing stock is indicative of a City that is more accessible and affordable to those of all incomes. The implementation effort will largely be accomplished through a consolidated list of action items listed below and referred to in more detail in Chapter 2 as objectives and actions. Implementation will work in coordination with the City’s Strategic Plan, Capital Improvements Program, and other relevant plans and documents guiding the City. Some of the actions may already be underway while others are estimated to occur in the future. Successful implementation of this plan will require dedication, engagement, and hard work from the community. 04 50 BOZEMANMT 2020 COMMUNITY PLAN SHORT-TERM ACTION LIST This Plan identifies many actions and objectives to address the listed goals. Many actions are ongoing. Some are specific shorter term actions to implement this Plan. The following list is not listed in any order of priority and is drawn from those shorter term actions listed in Chapter 2. 1. Review potential upzoning to implement goals N-1.1, N-1.2, and N-1.4. 2. Evaluate zoning map changes needed to implement goal N-1, and objectives N-1.2 and N-1.4 consistent with factors identified in Chapter 5, Zoning Amendment Review. 3. Evaluate design standards as identified in objectives N-1.6 and N-2.4. Buildings are to be capable of serving an initial residential purpose and be readily converted to commercial uses when adequate market support for commercial services exists. 4. Identify missing links in the multimodal system, prioritize those most beneficial to complete, and pursue funding for completion of those links as noted in objectives M-1.4, M-1.9, and M-1.11. 5. Evaluate parking requirements and methods of providing parking as part of the overall transportation system for and between districts as noted in objective M-1.12. 6. Update the UDC to reflect density increases or minimums within key districts as noted in objectives DCD-1.4, EPO-1.6, and RC-4.4. 7. Evaluate revisions to maximum building height limits in multi-household, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use zoning districts to account for revised building methods, building code changes, and the effect of incremental changes on meeting goals of this plan as noted in objective DCD-2.4. 8. Update land development standards to implement the Integrated Water Resources Plan as identified in objective EPO-3.5. 9. Revise current intersection level of service design standards to multimodal level of service or traffic stress for people walking, biking, and using transit as identified in objective M-1.3. 10. Prepare for establishment of a Metropolitan Planning Organization, anticipated to be required after the completion of the 2020 US Census and noted in objective RC-1.6. 11. Establish standard practices for sharing development application information and exchanging comments between the City and County as identified in objective RC-3.1. 12. Revise the zoning map to harmonize with the future land use map as noted in objectives N-1.3, N-2.1, N-3.1, EE-1.6, and RC-4.4. MONITORING AND UPDATES Tracking and monitoring the Plan’s intent is critical. Each Theme has one or more identified indicators, which use data to measure success towards the goal. Each indicator listed below identifies a source where the data should be drawn, frequency defines how often the data is available, and notes describe key considerations. The development of indicators require the City to establish where we are now in relation to each indicator. This provides a baseline from which to track changes over time. Indicators were selected to be replicable, effective, and where possible, of a similar scope and nature for indicators with peer cities. A target, or where we want to go, will be established for each indicator. In some cases the process of setting a target will itself require substantial effort. The targets listed below are to give a general indication of intended trend; further refinement will follow. If an indicator shows over time that the City is getting farther from, rather than closer to, the intended target it may be necessary to modify targets, policies, or standards. The process for revising the growth policy is described in Chapter 5. Development of specific targets for each indicator should be completed within a year of Plan adoption. After that first year, an annual report on the status of each indicator should be provided to the community.
