OSAB Staff Report October 10, 2012 NEXT STEPS The next phase of the Louisville Comprehensive Plan update involves data collection and analysis intended to help staff and the community better understand how the City functions. Staff has worked with a GIS consultant to create maps which help analyze land use patterns and identify areas of stability and areas of change in the City. Staff has also worked with the aid of a consultant to complete a demographic, economic, and fiscal analysis of the City as well as the regional transportation modeling. This data, along with staff analysis of land use patterns, transportation systems, and existing infrastructure was the foundation for a weeklong community design charrette held during the th week of August 27. A charrette is a collaborative community planning and design process that brings stakeholders together in intensive work sessions to develop plans for their community. The charrette resulted in the creation of three land use framework options for the City. Staff will give an overview of the three community framework options that came out of the design charrette and lead a discussion of the comprehensive plan chapters which are most appropriate for each group. The draft chapters for the comp plan are as follows; Community Vision Vision Statement and Guiding Community Values Community form, character, and urban design Land use Character Zones Neighborhoods and Housing Community Heritage Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Transportation, Mobility, and Accessibility Streets Public Transit Accessibility Parking Management Public Infrastructure Water & Sewer Storm Water Energy The Economy and Fiscal Health Economic Development Fiscal Future Community Services Police Library Education 3
