City of Sebastian LIVABILITY WORKSHOP AGENDA February 20, 2020 1. Welcome, Introductions and Housekeeping 2. Purpose of the Workshop is to discuss high level concepts and determine format for Plan. Today's comments will be summarized and used to inform Comprehensive Development Plan decisions and policies as we consider all the Elements of the Plan. (All information will be provided at Workshop) 3. Determine Format of Comprehensive Development Plan a. Color/Design b. Document Layout 4. High Level Concepts and Definitions Livability and Smart Growth Principles are planning concepts with substantial overlap and may be used interchangeably. a. Livability is a high-level performance measure of factors that are critical to high quality of life for people of all ages; including the built and natural environment, economic prosperity, social stability and equity, educational opportunity, and cultural, entertainment and recreation possibilities. Livability features that benefit everyone 1. COMPACTNESS helps make a community walkable, decreases automobile dependence and supports a socially vibrant public realm 2. INTEGRATION OF LAND USES enables people to live closer to or within walking distance of work, community activities and the services they need 3. HOUSING DIVERSITY helps ensure that suitable housing is available for each stage of life 4. TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS allow older/disabled adults to remain independent, mobile and engaged in their community and provide safe multi -modal options to all users b. Smart Growth Principles Smart Growth is a theory of land development that accepts that growth and development will continue to occur, and so seeks to direct that growth in an intentional, comprehensive way. The term "Smart Growth" is an attempt to reframe the conversation from "growth' versus "no growth" to good/smart growth versus bad/dumb growth. Proponents seek to distinguish Smart Growth from urban sprawl which they claim causes most of the problems that fuel opposition to urban growth, such as high cost of infrastructure, traffic congestion and environmental degradation. Smart growth principles are directed at developing sustainable communities that provide a greater range of transportation and housing choices and prioritize infill and redevelopment in existing communities. Ten Principles of Smart Growth 1. Mix land uses. 2. Take advantage of compact building design. 3. Create a range of housing opportunities and choices. 4. Create walkable neighborhoods. 5. Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place. 6. Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty, and critical environmental areas. 7. Strengthen and direct development towards existing communities. S. Provide a variety of transportation choices, urban and social infrastructure based on population projections. 9. Make development decisions sustainable, predictable, fair, and cost effective. 10. Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration in development decisions. 163.3164 Community Planning Act; definitions.— "Urban sprawl" means a development pattern characterized by low density, automobile -dependent development with either a single use or multiple uses that are not functionally related, requiring the extension of public facilities and services in an inefficient manner, and failing to provide a clear separation between urban and rural uses. S. Presentation of Data related to Land Use, Housing, Mobility 6. Discussion Topics in relation to the Concepts and Data presented a. What do you love about your community? What does "small town" mean to you? b. What smart growth changes are needed in the future —land use, housing, mobility —to sustain the livability of your community? c.
