  • Parks and Recreation 8
    Parks and Recreation 8 Parks and Recreation Introduction Past versions of the Johnston Comprehensive Plan have addressed parks and recreation in a fairly traditional manner by analyzing the components of the park system and making recommendations to meet future needs. This version of the plan retains this analytical approach while seeking to position Johnston to truly integrate parks and recreation into the daily lives of Johnston’s residents. This integration is known as active living. Active living is integrating physical activity into daily life. This integration is becoming more important than ever given on-going increases in adult and child obesity rates. Adult obesity rates increased in 28 states from 2009 to 2010 and declined only in the District of Columbia according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2010, a report from the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. More than two-thirds of the states (38) have adult obesity rates above 25 percent. In 1991, no state had an obesity rate above 20 percent. Iowa is representative of these statistics for the adult population. From 2007 to 2009, 27.6% of Iowa’s adults were considered obese. The state ranked 22nd in adult obesity. Fortunately, the obese and overweight rate for Iowa’s children aged 10 to 17 was only 11.2% compared to the national average of 31.7%. Iowa was ranked #46 in child obesity. Obesity rates are only one indicator of a society that has become more sedentary. Today, parks and playfields compete with interactive gaming and other media opportunities.

  • Architecture of Downtown Des Moines: Some Highlights from the Twentieth Century and Beyond
    Paula Mohr is an architectural historian and directs the certified local government program in Iowa. She is a graduate of the Cooperstown Museum Studies program and the architectural history program at the University of Virginia. Paula is the local co-chair for FORUM 2018. Architecture of Downtown Des Moines: Some Highlights from the Twentieth Century and Beyond By Paula Mohr In its 170-some years, the evolution of Des Moines’ commercial core has paral- leled that of many American cities. Fort Des Moines, an early foothold in terms of Euro-American settlement, today survives only as an archaeological site. Early commercial buildings of wood frame on both the east and west sides of the Des Moines River were replaced with brick later in the nineteenth century. At the turn of the twentieth century another wave of development introduced tall buildings or skyscrapers. In the midst of all this change, we can see the impact of external forces, including architectural ideas from Chicago, the City Beautiful Movement and the contributions of nationally and internationally renowned architects. The “book” on Des Moines’ architecture is still being written. As a result of this constant renewal and rebuild- Youngerman Block (1876), also by Foster, features ing, only a handful of nineteenth century buildings a façade of “Abestine Stone,” a nineteenth-century survive in Des Moines’ downtown.

  • The Soul Searchers
    THE SOUL SEARCHERS This hard­swinging band from Des Moines, Iowa, plays more than 100 dates a year in Des Moines and neighboring small towns and cities including Ames, Iowa City, and Omaha, and Minneapolis. Playing originals and lesser­known music by the likes of T­Bone Walker, Freddie King, and Otis Rush, The Soul Searchers create a smooth, groove­based blend of blues, jazz, rockabilly, and surf music. The band has won the Iowa Blues Challenge, has appeared on the mainstage at Davenport’s Mississippi Valley Blues Festival, has performed several Jazz in July concerts, and has been featured on Iowa Public Radio and Iowa Public Television. The band's core members include guitarist/singer Scott Eggleston, upright bassist Erich Gaukel, and drummer Mark Grimm. When the band performs as a quartet or quintet, they are joined by saxophonist Nathan Peoples (also with the The Blue Band) and/or pianist/organist Neil Stoffregen (also with The Nadas). In its annual international competition for the best self­produced blues album, The Memphis­based Blues Foundation named The Soul Searchers self­titled CD one of top­10 self­produced blues albums. To date, the CD has been sold in 13 countries. Here are what the critics said about the CD: "Whether it’s a five­course meal, or a romantic interlude, or sultry blues, anticipation is what stimulates the senses and makes the payoff rewarding. Such is the case with Des Moines’ hippest blues band, The Soul Searchers. It took the group about 15 years to record its full­length album, but in the end, it doesn’t disappoint.

  • Enabling Safe and Inclusive Communities Through Housing a CHRA Congress Session Summary
    Enabling Safe and Inclusive Communities Through Housing A CHRA Congress Session Summary With thanks to BC Housing for their generous support of this initiative April 2014 Prepared for and Property of: THE CANADIAN HOUSING AND RENEWAL ASSOCIATION. All Rights Reserved. Introduction This paper builds on a workshop held at the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association’s (CHRA) 2014 Annual Congress. It highlights three projects where housing is the catalyst for urban inner city neighborhood regeneration. The workshop ‘Enabling Safe and Inclusive Communities Through Housing’ held on May 1st, 2014, addressed the preservation of Vancouver’s Downtown East Side for low-income residents, plans for a new Edmonton community built on the site of a decommissioned airport, and the renewal of a downtown Winnipeg neighborhood. In each case, housing served as the foundation for neighborhood preservation, redevelopment and renewal, respectively. Inner city neighborhoods that offer housing options for diverse household types and income levels can increase social and economic opportunities for those living in the area while strengthening urban growth. Increasing the number of households in urban neighborhoods also reduces pressures on transportation networks and related environmental impacts. The health benefits of walkable urban neighborhoods are also well documented. Yet many inner city neighborhoods across Canada are experiencing pressures due to a variety of economic, social and environmental factors, and strategies are needed to ensure neighborhoods remain safe and inclusive places for individuals and families to live. In some cases, preserving neighborhoods for existing residents is a challenge if the cost of housing and retail space rises too quickly. In others, the opposite challenge is true, whereby declining inner city infrastructure and services require added investment and support in order to be stabilized.

  • How Housing Supply Shapes Access to Opportunity for Renters
    A TERNER CENTER REPORT - NOVEMBER 2019 How Housing Supply Shapes Access to Opportunity for Renters Elizabeth Kneebone Research Director Mark Trainer Graduate Student Researcher Copyright 2019 Terner Center for Housing Innovation For more information on the Terner Center, see our website at www.ternercenter.berkeley.edu Executive Summary An increasing number of local, state, and federal policies aim to increase access to areas of opportunity for lower-income households. Housing supply—the amount, mix, and location of housing options—plays a central role in dictating neighbor- hood form and affects the availability and distribution of rental housing within and across regions. This analysis assigns census tracts to one of four categories based on the share of housing stock that is single family: Single-Family, Predomi- nantly Single-Family, Mixed Housing Stock, and Majority Multifamily. It then uses census tract-level data from the decen- nial census, American Community Survey, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) database to analyze the ways in which housing supply shapes neighborhoods and access to opportunity for renter households in the nation’s 100 largest metro areas. We find: ■ The number of Single-Family neighborhoods in the nation’s largest metro areas has grown by almost 40 percent since 1990, largely at the expense of neighborhoods that offer a more diverse mix of housing types. Single-family homes accounted for the majority of new units added since 1990 in almost every type of neighbor- hood. As a result, roughly one-quarter of neighborhoods that had more mixed housing stock in 1990 became predomi- nantly single-family by 2016.

  • Architectural Styles/Types
    Architectural Findings Summary of Architectural Trends 1940‐70 National architectural trends are evident within the survey area. The breakdown of mid‐20th‐ century styles and building types in the Architectural Findings section gives more detail about the Dayton metropolitan area’s built environment and its place within national architectural developments. In American Architecture: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, Cyril Harris defines Modern architecture as “A loosely applied term, used since the late 19th century, for buildings, in any of number of styles, in which emphasis in design is placed on functionalism, rationalism, and up‐to‐date methods of construction; in contrast with architectural styles based on historical precedents and traditional ways of building. Often includes Art Deco, Art Moderne, Bauhaus, Contemporary style, International Style, Organic architecture, and Streamline Moderne.” (Harris 217) The debate over traditional styles versus those without historic precedent had been occurring within the architectural community since the late 19th century when Louis Sullivan declared that form should follow function and Frank Lloyd Wright argued for a purely American expression of design that eschewed European influence. In 1940, as America was about to enter the middle decades of the 20th century, architects battled over the merits of traditional versus modern design. Both the traditional Period Revival, or conservative styles, and the early 20th‐century Modern styles lingered into the 1940s. Period revival styles, popular for decades, could still be found on commercial, governmental, institutional, and residential buildings. Among these styles were the Colonial Revival and its multiple variations, the Tudor Revival, and the Neo‐Classical Revival. As the century progressed, the Colonial Revival in particular would remain popular, used as ornament for Cape Cod and Ranch houses, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.

  • Chiles Ranch Project Description / Justification
    CHILES RANCH PROJECT DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION With Chiles Ranch, we wish to create a residential community that will not only provide much- needed housing, but also contribute to neighborhood connectivity. We wish to produce several for-sale housing types and levels of affordability; create greenbelts, public open space and habitat; construct safe pedestrian and bike routes; and make for a vehicular circulation system that will serve the project appropriately, while minimizing impacts to the neighboring residents. Over the last several months we were able to produce a plan that evolved from a collaboration of skilled professionals, City officials and neighbors - who have a stake in the property’s fate. We, Steve Sherman and Don Fouts, over the past 33 years have built many high quality homes in the City of Davis. Our well-established local companies have strong reputations and a proven track record. For Chiles Ranch, we have joined together as New Urban Development, LLC, with the name reflective of our objectives for the property. With this project we will continue our commitment to provide housing that is of high quality and is a good fit for the community. Our proposed Chiles Ranch, at 2411 East 8th Street, consists of 12.1 acres of three vacant parcels. Parcel One, APN 71-401-03, is currently zoned as R-2, Parcel Two, APN 71-020-15, and Parcel 3, APN 71-401-02, are zoned agriculture. All three parcels have a land-use designation of Residential Low Density in the General Plan. We are requesting a rezone of all three parcels to a Residential Planned Development with a General Plan Amendment to Residential Medium Density.
