  • Complete Communities Chapter
    ATTACHMENT 1 Complete Communities: Mix of Uses and Forms While the Wedges and Corridors plan was extraordinarily progressive in advocating a transit- oriented, compact form of development, it rejected the idea of mixed commercial and residential uses. The plan said the spaces designated for different uses should ultimately work together to achieve a “pleasant and economically feasible whole” but that these uses should be physically separated. It recommended Euclidean zoning, with areas set aside for multifamily, townhouse and single-family housing along with isolated commercial and industrial zones, saying: [C]ommercial and industrial zones should exclude residences both because good residential neighborhoods cannot be maintained in such areas, and because business and industry can function more effectively where space allotted them is uninterrupted by housing. In addition to a rigid separation of uses, the plan insisted on the desirability of barriers, buffers and transitions between land uses to achieve harmony and compatibility: [L]ong established commercial centers expand into nearby residential neighborhoods, causing more transitional problems. The end result is a disease known as urban blight. This disease is contagious and is almost sure to spread where preventative measures are not taken. While the polycentric urbanism embodied by the 1964 plan’s corridor cities concept was fundamentally sound, its approach to the separation of uses and emphasis on transitions and buffers was not entirely successful in producing pleasant and economically vibrant commercial districts, and its other shortcomings have become increasingly obvious, namely: • The separate-and-buffer approach failed to anticipate – much less meet – the demand for housing in mixed-use centers of activity.

  • PC-20-018 Complete Communities: Housing Solutions and Mobility
    The City of San Diego Staff Report DATE ISSUED: April 30, 2020 REPORT NO. PC-20-018 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Planning Department SUBJECT: Complete Communities: Housing Solutions and Mobility Choices Initiative Primary Julia Chase Phone: (858) 495-4764 Contact: Secondary Leslie Keaveney Phone: (619) 446-5370 Contact: Council District(s): Citywide OVERVIEW: This action requests a recommendation to approve the Planning Department’s Complete Communities: Housing Solutions and Mobility Choices initiative. The Complete Communities: Mobility Choices and Housing Solutions initiative proposes amendments to the San Diego Municipal Code (SDMC) to provide incentives to increase housing production and expand the mobility network around transit hubs and existing development. The initiative removes regulatory barriers to housing at all income levels, especially low, very low, and moderate-income households, while investing in neighborhood and mobility amenities, such as recreational opportunities, street trees, linear parks, bicycle facilities, urban plazas, and promenades. These types of investments increase the quality of neighborhoods where new housing is proposed by creating more walkable, bikeable, and enjoyable spaces, which in turn helps the City meet its Climate Action Plan goals. Prioritizing these investments in areas where the investments are needed most are central to the intent behind the Complete Communities initiative. Complete Communities delivers on the City’s vision of creating equitable, healthy, and sustainable neighborhoods that are diverse, walkable, connected, safe, and inclusive. Complete Communities: Housing Solutions and Mobility Choices creates incentives to build homes near transit, provide more mobility alternatives, and enhance quality of life for all residents, regardless of their background and identity. Through thoughtful and inclusive planning, the initiatives set the City on a path to create a healthy environment and thriving communities.

  • Recent Developments Along the Assiniboine Corridor in Brandon
    Prairie Perspectives 199 Down by the riverside: recent developments along the Assiniboine Corridor in Brandon G. Lee Repko and John Everitt Brandon University Abstract: In the past few years, the previously neglected Assiniboine River corridor within the city of Brandon has shown signs of significant change and development. These changes have largely been the result of a realization, by both city officials and community members, that an important local recreational resource has been neglected or ignored by the majority of Brandon’s inhabitants for many years. A series of public meetings sponsored by the city led to the acceptance of a plan for the riverbank and the formation of a not-for-profit group to bring planned changes into reality. In the past three years, pre-existing developments have been brought under the auspices of Riverbank Inc. and a series of new initiatives have been started. This paper briefly describes the past and contemporary development of Brandon’s Assiniboine river corridor. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to outline and report upon the development of the Assiniboine River Corridor by “Riverbank Inc.” Riverbank Inc. is a non-profit “arms length” organisation incorporated by the Province of Manitoba in 1994. The aim of the organisation is to develop the tract of land along the banks of the Assiniboine River within the city of Brandon as a recreational area for the city and its region, and as a possible ecological focal point for tourist activity within southwest Manitoba (Figure 1). The ongoing transformation of the river valley has the potential to be one of the major changes to the face of Brandon since its incorporation in 1882.
