    MAXIMIZING COMMUNITY-BASED DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES: THE CASE OF RALEIGH’S DOWNTOWN SOUTH PROPOSAL Caylin Bullock A capstone thesis paper submitted to the Faculty Director of the Urban & Regional Planning Program at Georgetown University’s School of Continuing Studies in fulfillment of the requirements for Masters of Professional Studies in Urban & Regional Planning. Project Advisor: Michael Stevens, AICP Academic Advisor: Uwe S. Brandes © Copyright 2019 by Caylin Bullock All Rights Reserved 1 ABSTRACT This paper explores a proposed large mixed-use development project in Raleigh, North Carolina as a case study to identify potential linkages between privately conceived urban development, community benefits, and the corresponding roles played by the private sector, municipalities and community stakeholders. Following a literature review and review of case study precedent practices, research was conducted through unstructured interviews with public and private stakeholders in Raleigh and analysis of project-based scenarios. This paper argues that when receiving proposals, cities must embrace partnerships to maximize positive community-based development outcomes. KEYWORDS Community Benefit Agreement (CBA), Equitable Development, Development Agreement, Public-Private Partnerships, Stadium Development, Raleigh, North Carolina RESEARCH QUESTIONS What are national best practices in the finance and development of large-scale mixed-use urban development projects comparable to the Downtown South proposal? In the case of Raleigh, how might the municipality more aggressively position its actions to ensure long-term equitable development outcomes for historically underserved community stakeholders in close proximity to the project? How might Raleigh institutionalize a project-based agreement as a binding and durable governance structure for future development projects? 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES .........................................................................................................................

    AMERICASPEAKS ENGAGING CITIZEN VOICES IN GOVERNANCE Skyland Town Hall Meeting Report to the National Capital Revitalization Corporation November 13, 2004 Made Possible in part by a Grant from the Annie E. Casey Foundation Summary Report of Proceedings District residents from Wards 7 and 8 came together on Saturday, November 13 to set priorities for the redevelopment of Skyland Shopping Center. Over the course of the five hour meeting, participants listened to presentations about the redevelopment process, discussed the retail mix of the future site, considered its look and feel, and discussed how the community could best take advantage of economic opportunities created by the redevelopment. When asked to evaluate the Town Meeting, 100 percent of participants said they had learned something from their participation in the Town Meeting. Eighty-four percent of participants rated the meeting as “excellent” or “good” (49 percent rating it as “excellent”.) Ninety-one percent of participants rated the use of technology at the Town Meeting as “excellent” or “good” (82 percent rating it as “excellent). Seventy percent of participants said they were “very unsatisfied” with the mix of stores currently at Skyland. Similarly, 66 percent of participants said they were “very unsatisfied” with the physical condition of Skyland and 63 percent said they were “very unsatisfied” with the level of safety there. The heart of the meeting was a discussion of the future retail mix for the new Skyland Shopping Center. Participants first considered the kinds of stores that they would like to see in the site. After prioritizing the kinds of stores to go on the site, they identified specific brands for each of the top categories.

  • Budget Letter
    February 28, 2019 The Honorable Muriel Bowser Mayor of the District of Columbia 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 300 Washington, DC 20002 Re: Fiscal Year 2020 Budget Proposal Dear Mayor Bowser: As you prepare your Fiscal Year 2020 (“FY20”) proposed budget, I would like to highlight a few Ward 5 priorities and request that you consider funding them in FY20. Last year, your Fair Shot budget made critical investments essential to Ward 5 residents such as supporting $20 million in funding for a new Lamond-Riggs library; $500,000 for new Main Streets and Clean Teams along South Dakota/Riggs Road and Bladensburg; and $300,000 for the design and creation of a statue of native Washingtonian and civil rights leader, Charles Hamilton Houston. Our Ward 5 FY20 budget is about making the District equitable and inclusive for all. From investing in affordable housing to keep residents in their homes to expanding behavioral health and trauma informed services, together, our Ward 5 FY20 budget requests moves the District towards real achievable and equitable results. Further, our Ward 5 budget represents feedback gathered from residents during my Ward 5 Budget Engagement Forum, and consideration of over 300 hours of Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) and civic association meetings. 1. Affordable Housing Affordable housing remains one of the highest priorities of Ward 5 residents. With your leadership and the support of the Council, we have made critical investments in the Housing Production Trust Fund, adjusted amounts for HPAP, and other important steps to ensure housing affordability. However, the Washington Post just reported that “[i]ncome inequality is rising so fast… that data can’t keep up”.
