2b.
Present Basecase Scenario
This is a series of maps based on Envision Tomorrow, a scenario
planning software program. The base case uses local data along
with past and existing development patterns to ‘allocate’ where
future growth is likely to take place. The basecase represents a
continuation of existing and historic growth patterns and indicates
that the majority of future population growth will take place on the
periphery if no modifications to planning policies are made.
(Information Only)
2c.
Review Task Group Recommendations
Each Task Group has recommended a variety of priorities for
Economic Development & Education, Environment, Transportation,
Healthy Communities, Public Engagement & Equity, and Housing.
Task Group recommendations support a different development
pattern than the basecase scenario.
(Information and Discussion)
2d.
Direct Preferred Alternative
The recommendations from Task Groups compared to the
basecase scenario represent a decision making opportunity. The
project team needs guidance to develop a preferred alternative
(desired alternative to the basecase in a map format).
Participatory activity: review and discuss basecase, Task Group
recommendations and provide guidance to develop a preferred
alternative.
(For possible action: Provide direction based on polling results)
3.
Discuss Opportunity Sites
Through the online community survey, Southern Nevada Strong is
collecting input to rank sites that are best positioned to integrate transit,
housing and employment areas. Site analysis will be performed on
finalists. The Board/Consortium Committee will be asked to provide
guidance on the role of the opportunity sites.
Participatory activity: review preliminary rankings from public outreach on
opportunity sites and provide input to subcommittee.
(For possible action: Direct subcommittee)
