Hello,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I'm
sorry
I
was
running
a
few
minutes
late.
This
is
a
special
meeting
of
the
city
of
charleston
planning,
commission
we're
basically
just
gonna.
This
meeting
is
all
designed
to
review
the
draft
final
draft
of
the
charleston
city
plan
and
since
we're
meeting
by
zoom,
I'm
announcing
members
of
the
planning
commission,
they
are
reported
by
city
council,
they're,
volunteers
and-
and
I
know
you
all
join
me
in
thanking
them
for
the
hope
for
their
work.
Mr
jimmy
bailey,
miss
laquita,
bryant
jenkins
is
eric
harrison.
A
F
Sure
so,
just
so
everybody
knows
some
of
the
faces
that
have
been
working
so
hard
on
this
planned
document.
I
think
most
of
you
all
know
them,
but
just
for
the
public
to
know.
Obviously
our
staff
consists,
as,
as
I
see
them,
lying
down
the
hollywood
squares
here
in
front
of
us.
I've
got
a
philip
overcash,
our
senior
planner
who's
been
working
on
lots
of
this
and
you'll
be
hearing
from
today,
jim
hemphill
who's
a
planner
in
the
office.
F
F
A
F
F
B
Okay,
so
for
all
you
design,
professionals
out
there,
please
forgive
this
slide.
I
threw
this
together
very
quickly
today,
because
I
thought
it
was
important
to
start
with
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today,
all
that
has
transpired
and
all
the
different
elements
that
have
come
together
to
make
this
final
draft
of
the
plan.
So
we
did
an
orientation
with
planning
commission
in
february
of
2020
to
kick
off
the
city
plan
and
then
global
pandemic
happened.
B
We
reconvened
in
june
of
2020
and
launched
a
round
of
engagement
to
gather
input
from
the
community
all.
At
the
same
time,
we
were
working
with
consultants
on
the
city
planned
land
and
water
analysis
and
consultants
on
compiling
the
best
data
we've
ever
had
available
on
our
housing
stock.
We
are
you
know,
referencing
other
plan
studies
and
reports
that
are
mentioned
in
the
the
city
plan
and
also
staff
were
we
were
conducting
other
research
outside
of
the
research
the
consultants
were
doing.
B
We
were
also
compiling
data,
all
the
while
having
meetings
with
planning
commission
almost
monthly
in
the
winter
2020
going
into
2021,
where
we
had
wrapped
up
with
community
engagement
synthesized.
All
that
feedback,
all
of
all
of
those
elements
that
you
see
there
in
that
first
column,
informed
the
com
compiling
the
plan.
Drafting
writing
the
plan
we
put
together
draft
feature,
land
use
maps,
a
preliminary
list
of
draft
recommendations
and
also
findings
from
settlement
community
research
to
bring
back
to
the
community.
B
This
spring,
we
had
another
round
of
engagement,
the
spring
to
get
feedback
on
those
core
elements
that
we
sort
of
prioritize
to
have
ready
to
to
share
with
the
public
earlier
on,
still
continuing
to
write
and
compile
all
the
rest
of
the
plan,
and
then
here
we
are
now
many
months
later
with
this
final
draft
that
still
has
work
to
do
as
christopher
mentioned
everywhere.
We
see
a
magenta
outline.
That
means
that
the
graphic
is
still,
it
needs
to
be
created
still
or
is
still
being
worked
on.
So
there's
still
some
graphic
elements.
B
B
B
This
was
a
collaborative
collaborative
effort
not
just
with
community
voices,
planning,
commission,
other
stakeholders,
other
departments
and
staff,
but
the
planning
division.
All
of
us
contributed,
we
wrote
different
sections
of
the
plan
and
then
you
know
I
helped
to
or
tried
to
tie
it
all
together,
and
so
this
this
really
was
a
group,
a
team
effort
with
with
so
many
people
involved.
Okay,
next
slide
christopher
keep
going
okay.
So
in
the
introduction
we
just
do
a
little
bit
of
education.
What
is
a
comprehensive
plan?
B
B
B
So
this
is
something
that
emerged
throughout
the
planning
process,
and
this
is
the
first
time
we
articulated
what
it
was
that
we
were
doing
the
things.
These
themes
that
we
were
threading
throughout
the
plan
process
throughout
the
various
elements
and
you'll
see
that
wrapped
up
at
the
end
and
the
resilience
equity
recommendation
matrix.
B
An
agenda
to
build
resiliency
of
a
community
must
begin
with
achieving
equity
and
all
strategies
should
prioritize
addressing
existing
disparities
and
protecting
vulnerable
communities
from
any
unattended
negative
impacts.
So
that's
the
again.
The
first
time
we've
articulated
this
framework
and
you
sh.
We
we
can
highlight
how
this
is
interwoven
throughout
as
we
go
along.
B
This
is
a
list
of
all
the
other
plans
that
are
referenced
in
the
city
plan
on
the
right
next
christopher,
and
this
section
goes
over
how
the
process
the
plan
process
itself
and
how
the
community
was
part
of
that.
This
is
also
the
first
time
that
you'll
see
the
key
terms.
So
we've
one
of
the
things
that
we've
done
differently
with
this
plan
is
we've
highlighted
key
terms
throughout
that
are
mentioned
in
each
section.
We'll
also
have
a
planned
glossary
at
the
end.
B
That
has
all
of
these
terms
and
in
one
place
and
one
of
the
the
reasons
why
we've
done
this
is
to
sort
of
thread
in
some
education
and
also
for
some
words
that
are
when
left
to
interpretation
can
have
various
meanings.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
being
clear
about
what
our
definitions
were
in
in
terms
of
how
how
they're
being
used
in
the
plan
so
next
christopher
next,
oh
by
the
numbers,
sorry
go
back.
This
is
one
of
the
graphics
being
work.
No
yeah
stay
here,
please,
okay!
B
This
is
one
of
the
graphics
that's
being
worked
on,
but
the
we'll
quickly
go
through
these
numbers,
so
we
held
40
city-led
virtual
and
in-person
events,
18
community-led,
virtual
in-person
events,
five
spanish-language
activities
that
includes
camp
both
canvassing
and
online
panels.
One
thousand
residents
and
stakeholders
participated
in
those
scheduled
activities.
Thirty
percent
of
participants
had
never
participated
in
planning
conversations
previously
over
2500
responded
to
the
city
planned
community
survey
over
a
thousand
subscribed
to
the
city
plan
newsletter
from
its
inception
and
then
over
17
000
people
engaged
independently.
B
B
A
G
C
A
C
I'm
actually
excited
about
this
because
that's
come
out
through
the
community
engagement
that
education,
once
you
start
educating
people
or
having
them
understand
a
dynamic,
maybe
they're
not
so
upset
with
something
or
they
they
learn
the
process.
So
this
is
a,
I
think,
a
nice
addition
here
and
I
know
education
engagement
is
intertwined
sometime
in
the
use
of
the
words,
but
I
might
even
just
put
the
word
community
engagements
or
communication
and
in
education
in
just
so.
It's
very
clear
what
we're
trying
to
do.
C
I
I
J
I
would
hope
that
while
we
all
want
to
go
back
to
meeting
in
person
and
I'm
excited
and
ready
to
do
that
when
the
time
comes,
I
do
hope
that
we
will
be
able
to
continue
having
the
public
be
able
to
access
these
meetings
remotely.
So
anyway.
That's
that's
just
a
comment
and
a
and
also
especially
to
chloe,
but
to
all
the
staff
who've
made
the
technology
work
on
these
meetings.
A
Thank
you,
mr
sane.
I
think
you're
right.
I
think
I
talked
to
mr
morgan
earlier
about
that.
The
challenge
would
be
like
with
city
council
met
last
night.
I
think
for
the
first
time,
but
trying
to
also
have
the
public
engaged
on
zoom
too.
So
it's
a
combination
of
public
meetings
with
the
with
the
communications
from
outside.
So
anyone
else
any
comments,
questions.
H
Yes,
if
there
are
no
other
questions
or
comments
regarding
engagement,
we'll
go
right
into
population,
so
this
is
a
required
element
of
the
plan,
so
every
plan
in
south
carolina
includes
you
know
some
aspect
of
prescribing
or
just
going
into
detail
about
the
population
of
their
city
or
county
or
whatever
the
local
government
is
so,
of
course,
we've
done
this
with
the
city
plan
and
it
does
help
set
a
stage.
A
little
bit
goes
into
some
background.
H
You
know,
provides
some
explanatory
narrative
and,
and
hopefully
through
some
some
great
graphics
that
we've
been
working
on
for
a
while.
You
know
tell
kind
of
tell
a
story,
and
you
know
of
course,
a
lot
of
what's
in
this
section
can
be
kind
of
referenced
as
we
go
through
the
rest
of
the
plan,
and
you
know
some
of
that
background
is-
is
useful
for
understanding
some
of
the
other
elements.
So
just
you
know,
of
course
we
don't.
H
We
don't
need
to
go
work
report
in
this,
but
I'll
quickly
go
through.
First
of
all,
you
know
just
starting
at
the
the
united
states
level
federal
level.
I
guess
the
national
level.
We
we
of
course
have
seen
a
lot
of
growth
in
south
carolina,
one
of
the
fastest
growing
cities
or
I'm
sorry,
states
in
the
country
and
of
course,
charleston
is
one
of
one
of
the
biggest
cities
in
south
carolina.
H
So
we've
seen
a
lot
of
the
growth
that's
happening
in
south
carolina,
and
this
is
this
is
a
trend.
You
know,
we've
seen
a
lot
of
growth
in
the
southeast
and
a
lot
of
folks
are
moving
from
other
parts
of
the
country
to
south
carolina
next
slide.
So
you
can
see
in
this
graphic.
You
know
the
city
of
charleston,
of
course,
is
in
a
you
know
in
the
context
of
the
region.
H
H
H
Actually,
since
1920
kind
of
what
the
population
rates
look
like
and
as
you
can
see,
starting
around
1980,
we
saw
a
pretty
good
trend
upwards
and
in
excuse
me
and
still
going
up
the
the
line
that
you
see
on
this
graph
is.
It
is
a
indicator
of
population
density,
that's
persons
per
square
mile
and,
as
you
can
see,
as
the
city
grew
population
wise,
our
density
actually
went
down
and
it
just
kind
of
remained
somewhat
level
for
the
past
few
decades.
H
The
indicator
of
you
know
the
trends
indicating
change
in
the
city,
whether
it's
a
pure
increase
in
population
or
change
in
demographics,
such
as
the
race
age
or
some
other
demographic
category.
We
did
see,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
upper
right
graph.
We
actually
need
to
show
the
legend
there,
but
the
this
graph
is
indicating
a
black
versus
white
population
and,
as
you
can
see
well,
the
orange
is
a
black
population
which
has
remained
even
even
with
the
population
growth
in
the
city
over
the
years
over.
H
You
know
what
kind
of
change,
at
least
according
to
census,
data
or,
more
specifically,
american
community
survey
data,
which
is
annual
data
that
comes
out
on
a
kind
of
a
smaller
sample
basis
every
year
and
then
on
the
right.
This
is
something
you
you've
seen,
I
think
a
few
times
it's
now
been
updated
from
2010
to
it
was
a
2010
to
2018
data,
but
we've
got
the
most
recent
data
available
and
that's
winning
in
2019
now
and
the
there
hasn't
been
much
change
in
here.
A
C
Thank
you.
I
had
a
bit
of
a
discussion
with
staff
earlier
today,
because
you'll
notice,
there
are
no
recommendations
under
this
section
which
you
would
hesitate
to
make
those
kinds
of
recommendations,
but
I
think
there
needs
to
be
maybe
some
sort
of
explanation
as
to
why
and
that
this
is
mainly
a
data
driven
section
of
the
of
the
plan
to
support
recommendations.
C
So
it
doesn't
look
like
it's
just
absent
from
this
section.
I
also
noticed
this
is
a
tiny
detail
that,
under
the
paragraph
of
population
product
projections,
that
every
region
was
there,
except
for
west
ashley-
and
I
don't
know
if
that
was
just
a
you
know-
typo
era
or
something
like
that.
But
west
ashley
didn't
have
a
any
sort
of
projection
under
that
paragraph.
H
As
you
as
you
can
imagine
the
you
know
we're
still
seeing
population
growth
in
all
of
the
all
of
the
areas
of
the
city.
I
think
the
only
one
that
that
we're
not
going
to
be
seeing
as
much
for
them
is
james
island,
the
other
all
the
other
areas,
including
west
actually
in
the
peninsula,
will
continue
continue
to
see
growth
and
our
projections
are
indicating
it
will
be.
You
know
about
the
same
rate
as,
as
we've
been
seeing
the
past
couple
of
decades.
C
C
I
know
that
that
data
was
collected,
but
it
may
not
be
so
hard
accurate
that
it
felt
like
it
is
appropriate
for
a
graphic
record
representation,
but
I
just
wanted
to
open
that
thought
up
at
least
because
I
think
that's
important,
that
the
two
somehow
mirror
each
other,
but
I
you
know
talking
with
chloe.
We
don't
have
it
in
such
a
hard
form
that
we
feel
like
it's
could
be
represented
and
supported
through
a
graphic,
but
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
thought
to,
and
attention.
A
J
Just
a
very,
very
minor,
a
suggestion,
the
previous
two
pages,
the
the
chart,
probably
would
benefit
from
a
legend.
I
think
you
mentioned
that
philip
just
so
it's
clear
what
we're
looking
at
it
takes
a
little
studying,
particularly
one
on
the
left,
to
see
how
those
two
overlaid
graphs
are
to
be
interpreted.
J
H
B
Mr
chairman
yeah
one
quick
comment
in
response
to
donna's
point
about
representation
of.
There
is
a
section
in
the
process
and
engagement
chapter
that
I
didn't
focus.
I
didn't
spend
much
time
on
or
any
time
on
in
my
presentation,
but
there
is
a
section
in
that
chapter
about
of
the
representation
element
of
the
engagement
efforts
and
as
as
donna
suggested,
we
don't
have
enough
data
on
the
demographics
of
participants
and
all
the
engagement
activities
to
be
able
to
match
that
with
city
population
and
speak
to
that.
D
All
right
so
this
is
this-
is
one
of
my
sections,
natural
resources
and
feel
free
to
chime
in
at
any
time.
Interrupt
me
if
you
have
any
questions
or
need
clarification,
so
this
is
another
required
element
that
focuses
on
the
natural
environment
and
green
space
around
the
city,
and
so
here
kind
of
the
introductory
information
just
outlining
what
the
chapter
is.
You
have
some
images
from
the
dutch
dialogues
report
and
then
we
get
right
into
living
with
water,
which
is
incorporating
the
dutch
dialogues
framework
in
our
natural
resources
planning.
D
D
We
so
I
kind
of
give
some
of
the
guiding
principles
behind
the
dutch
dialogues.
There
talk
a
little
bit
about
water
quality
and
some
of
the
issues
related
with
water
quality.
How
those
can
be
mitigated
through
natural
resources
planning
here
is
a
kind
of
unique
section
of
this
subsection
of
this
section
in
natural
resources
and
equity.
D
You
know
other
other
natural
kind
of
elements
or,
like
you
know,
lack
thereof,
so
the
next
section
there
parks
and
conserved
areas.
Oh
sorry,
can
you
go
back
one
more
yeah?
This
is
just
you
know,
an
overview
of
our
park
system.
You
know
talking
about
our
parks
and
rec
master
plan.
Coming
up
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
the
key
terms
there
on
the
side
which,
as
chloe
said,
is
a
new
thing
that
we're
we're
doing
for
this
plan.
D
D
D
We
talked
about
this-
the
trees
to
offset
stormwater
study
and
reference
figures
from
that,
and
also
some
research
from
the
college
of
charleston
about
how
our
tree
canopy
has
changed
over
time
here
on
the
right,
you'll
see
a
map
that
was
included
in
the
water,
land
and
water
analysis
that
shows
the
areas
of
gain
and
loss
of
our
tree
canopy
over
the
last
10
years.
This
is
missing
a
legend,
so
this
will
be
edited,
and
I
think
we
are
also
going
to
try
to
bring
this
into
our
comprehensive
plan
style.
D
D
D
Please
here
we
we
have
kind
of
talked
about
some
of
our
other
sustainability
efforts
going
on
throughout
the
city,
and
then
you
know
some
other
efforts
that
we're
making
to
the
natural
environment
to
improve
the
natural
environment
and
things
like
the
rain
garden,
rain
proof,
charleston
program,
that's
going
on,
and
then
our
climate
action
plan,
which
is
kind
of
elaborated
on
later
in
the
resilience
section
and
then
over
to
the
right.
We
have
our
natural
resources
recommendations.
D
Some
of
the
highlights
here,
I
won't
read
through
all
of
them.
Some
of
the
highlights
are
supporting
land
conservation
around
the
edges
of
the
urban
growth
boundary
and
kind
of
highlighting
some
of
the
places
that
we'd
like
to
target
for
conservation
to
to
kind
of
support
the
urban
growth
boundary
and,
let's
see,
also
implementing
recommendations
of
the
trees.
To
offset
stormwater
study
that
I
referenced,
which
was
excellent
study,
a
lot
of
good
stuff.
That
would
include
taking
a
look
at
our
tree
protection,
ordinance.
D
Things
like
that
and
then
number
nine,
I
think,
is
also
a
really
important.
One
is
implementing
land
use
and
transportation
planning
strategies
to
account
for
future
marsh
migration,
which
is
something
that
came
out
of
our
land
and
water
analysis
is
the
need
to
protect
these
future
marsh
areas
and
plan
for
those
plan
for
that
marsh
to
naturally
expand
as
sea
level
rises,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
highlights
and
I
kind
of
breeze
through
there.
A
C
Well,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
highly
recommend
the
staff
for
adding
some
emphasis
to
the
street
offset
water
program.
I
was
very
involved
with
that
and
I
it
rarely
gets
mentioned,
but
it's
it's
got
a
lot
of
interesting
tools
in
it
and
I'm
really
glad
that
y'all
integrated
that
discussion
into
this
plan,
because
I
think
more
people
will
see
it
and
use
it
because
it
really
is
has
some
very
helpful
stuff
in
it.
C
C
I
have
a
feeling
that
that's
going
to
cause
people
some
heartburn
if
they
feel
like
that,
we're
going
to
recommend
everybody,
maintaining
water
on
their
properties
and
it's
just
maybe
a
different.
I
know
I
understand
the
intention
of
that
recommendation,
but
I
think
it
might.
We
might
need
to
you
know
craft
the
words
a
little
better.
I
my
first
thought
was
to
manage
and
I
know
that
y'all
were
looking
at
maybe
rain,
garden
installations
and
rain,
barrels
and
stuff
like
that.
C
But
I
I
don't
want
to
get
people
really
a
lot
of
heartburn
with
the
way
that's
written,
we're
not
asking
people
to
start
building
ponds
on
their
property
and
stuff
that
nature.
So
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
to
your
attention
and
I
think
there
was
one
other
I
might-
and
I
also
would
I
agree
with
mr
lissane's
comment
about
legends
and
titles.
I
know
sometimes
graphics
are
obvious
to
people
that
build
that
build
them,
but
when
I
was,
I
tried
to
look
at
all
the
graphics
like.
C
Do
I
immediately
understand
what
this
graphic
is
in
context,
so
I
feel
like
a
few
of
the
graphics
in
here.
They
do
have
magenta
around
them,
which
rep
suggests
to
us
that
they're
not
complete,
but
maybe
a
title,
a
word
or
two
of
context
to
back
to
the
narrative,
because
some
people
are
visual
with
figures
and
some
people
visual
words.
So
if
we
can
just
make
sure
we
tie
them
together,
I
think
that's
going
to
be
important
for
people.
So
thank
you
for
that
opportunity
to
comment
on
that.
D
D
We
begin
talking
about
the
arts
and
some
of
the
newer
arts
investments
that
have
been
made
over
the
last
10
years,
including
that
cannon
street
arts
center,
the
pure
theater
that
you
see
the
photo
on
the
right,
along
with
the
this,
is
the
future
college
of
charleston
arts
center,
that
is
in
design
stages
right
now,
and
then
the
gilliard,
of
course,
at
the
bottom
next
page.
Please.
D
We
talk
about
some
of
the
events
that
go
on
in
the
city,
including
a
spoletto
festival,
the
farmer's
market,
some
of
the
cultural
events
going
on
highlights
the
history
and
a
big
addition
was
the
talking
about
indigenous
people
and
kind
of
including
that,
as
part
of
our
history,
something
that
we
we
have.
We
did
not
do
in
the
century
five
plan
that
I
think,
strengthens
the
section
a
lot
here.
D
So
we
would
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
how
that
kind
of
cultural,
cultural
resources
environment
is
changing.
Go
to
the
next
slide.
Please,
and
so
part
of
that
is
highlighting
the
the
international
african-american
museum
and
some
of
the
other,
the
other
institutions
that
are
carrying
on
cultural
resources,
programming
that
kind
of
acknowledges
and
is
honest
and
transparent
about
the
the
the
his
charleston's
history.
D
D
This
is,
I
believe,
more
of
the
more
settlement
communities,
information
here
and
then
our
recommendations,
so
we've
got.
We
got
some
great
input
from
some
of
the
the
preservation
society
and
some
of
the
other
groups
interest
groups
around
town
that
helped
inform
some
of
these
recommendations
as
well
as,
of
course,
our
public
input
engagement
that
went
on
throughout
the
plan.
C
Now
this
this
one,
I
have
a
lot
of
thought
about,
because
I've
been
actively
engaged
with
chloe
on
this,
and
this
is
very
exciting
that
we
have
taken
the
huge
effort
to
explore
into
this
area
and
create
that
the
data
for
dynamics
for
equity.
I
think
they've
done
an
excellent
job.
They're,
really
opening
up
a
lot
of
doors.
C
Besides
the
african-american
settlement
community,
because
I
really
enjoyed
my
work-
and
I
thank
you
all
for
including
me
in
that-
I
like
the
fact
internally,
that
you've
nodded
to
another
plan
like
for
the
preservation
work
that
you've
nodded
to
a
preservation
plan.
That's
already
current
and
can
be
addressed
instead
of
trying
to
reinvent.
K
C
Wheel,
there's
some
other
good
things
in
there,
so
that
was
excellent,
but
I
would
like
to
thoughtfully
discuss
for
a
minute
why,
in
the
the
definition
of
cultural
resources,
we
talk
about
agricultural
sites,
and
I
know
that
with
the
historic
settlement,
communities
looking
at
churches
and
cemeteries
and
stuff
as
part
of
that,
but
we
have
worked
rudimentarily
with
an
archaeological
ordinance
within
the
city.
That's
kind
of
come
and
gone,
but
there's
no
mention
of
that
at
all.
C
Within
this
plan-
and
I
and
I
kind
of
think
that
might
be
a
slight
omission-
that
we
might
need
to
think
about
that,
not
necessarily
as
a
recommendation,
but
at
least
some
discussion
that
that
has
been
looked
at
and
reviewed
and
it
may
even.
It
may
even
be
a
recommendation
that
we
should
continue
reviewing
the
necessity
for
archaeological
ordinance
within
the
city.
C
I
know
I
served
briefly
on
a
panel
that
talked
about
that
where
there
are
archaeological
ordinances
like
in
the
williamsburg
area
and
in
st
augustine
and
they're
different
depending
so
I
I
really
think
we
do
need
to
add
that
back
into
this
section
and
one
small
little
tiny
edit.
I
think
we
need
to
make
a
nod
to
the
pearl
west
ashley
as
a
an
event
venue
when
you
make
your
list.
C
D
Yeah,
if
I
could
just
make
a
comment-
my
apologies
donna
for
not
giving
you
the
due
credit
as
well
with
the
settlement
communities.
I
think
I
focus
mostly
on
chloe's
work,
but
I
know
that
I
know
that
you,
you
were
you:
were
there
doing
a
lot
of
that
work
with
her.
So
I
don't
want
that
to
go
unacknowledged.
K
A
F
Here
we
are
okay
and
eric
pullman
he'll
put
this
together,
so
he
doesn't
get
to
have
his
glory
today,
but
we
will
give
him
all
comments
that
come
out
of
today
and
and
adjustments,
but
economic
development,
of
course,
is
you
know
a
huge
part
of
how
our
city
grows
redevelopment
redevelops
functions.
You
know
it's
important,
that
we
understand
where
the
concentrations
of
employers
are
what
types
of
employers
we're
having,
and
this
section
does
a
good
bit
to
do
that.
I
am
going
to
go
through
this.
You
know
pretty
quickly.
F
We
do
have
some
key
terms
that
are
part
of
this
that
I
think,
are
very
good
for
bringing
back
your
your
college,
economics
classes
and
things
that
are
good
for
keeping
up
with
all
these
this
kind
of
data,
it's
important
to
see
how
things
have
evolved
over
the
last
five
to
ten
years.
I
like
this
chart
for
the
charleston
regional
job
creation
by
sector.
F
If
anybody
had
any
doubts
that
charleston
was
a
food
town
and
a
culinary
destination
and
had
really
become
one
over
the
last
decade.
This
shows
you
that,
as
of
you
know,
2018
and
obviously
in
2020,
we
had
a
downturn
in
this
because
of
the
pandemic,
but
look
at
the
job
creation
in
that
area,
even
over
construction
work
and
things
like
retail
sales
and
all
that
so
clearly
a
booming
area,
and
then,
of
course,
our
wage
level
is
increasing.
F
F
Then
we
have
our
cost
of
living
comparison,
which
I
think
is
very
very
important
too,
that
for
all
these
nine
different
cities,
including
comparably
size,
cities
and
some
that
are
a
little
bit
bigger
like
atlanta
and
washington
and
charlotte.
We
still
when
you
compare
them
on
things
like
cost
of
grocery
housing
utilities.
F
We
are
second
only
to
the
washington
dc
area.
So
that
shows
what
I
think
a
lot
of
you
all
have
noticed
that
we
are
a
more
expensive
region
to
live
in.
This
is
a
regional
level
figure,
so
that
includes
our
entire
charleston
metro
region,
but
we
are
even
more
expensive
than
atlanta
or
jacksonville.
You
know
things
like
places
like
that.
F
I
do
think
it's
important
to
point
out
how
one
of
the
the
recommendations
number
10
is
the
coordination
that
we
need
to
continue
doing
with
neighborhood
jurisdictions
on
things
such
as
plan
west
ashley,
which
we
worked
on
very
closely
with
charleston
county,
as
well
as
the
saint
andrews
psd,
epic
center.
The
rethink
folly
road,
where
we
have
a
rethink
folly
committee
made
up
of
town
of
james
island,
charleston,
county
folly,
beach
and
the
city,
and
then
our
johns
island
community
plan
and
organizations
on
johns
island
that
are
working
to
implement
improvements
out
there.
F
A
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
want
to
thank
eric
for
his
hard
work
here.
I've
seen
a
lot
of
his
real-time
use
of
data.
This
is
a
this
is
a
a
data
driven
thing
and
where
we
can
use
apps
and
and
some
really
interesting
technology
to
enter
to
research,
quickly
economic
development
and
and
see
where
the
money's
being
spent
and
how
people
are
moving,
and
so
this
is
I'm
excited
that
he
worked
on
this.
I'm
I'm
very
excited
in
recommendation
number
five
that
they
made
a
nod
toward
affordable
commercial
properties.
C
This
kind
of
became
apparent
in
the
discussion
with
plan
west
ashley
that
they're
small
businesses
that
are
out
there
and
they
want
to
open
up
a
brick
and
mortar,
but
they
can't
define
affordable
commercial
space.
So
I'm
glad
that
we've
included
that
thought
process
and
our
recommendation.
Your
comment
toward
number
eight,
I'm.
I
know
that
they've
relaxed
those
thresholds
downtown
for
certain
things.
My
only
comment
to
that
is:
we
live
in
a
neighborhood
where
they
tend
to
park
in
the
neighborhood.
C
A
F
But
surprisingly,
we
do
have
7.6
coming
in
by
bike.
I
know
we've
got
some
folks
in
charleston
moves
on
today.
Hopefully
that
is
a
figure
that
you
all
have
seen
and
4.2
on
foot.
So
you
know
we're
making
some
strides
here,
but
obviously
need
to
do
a
whole
lot,
particularly
when
you
look
at
the
the
transit
aspect,
and
we
really
want
to
get
that
one
boosted
and
the
low
country
rapid
transit
that
is
going
to
be
coming
in
and
we'll
be
talking
about
that
in
just
a
minute.
F
This
is
a
map
that
shows
the
things
that
are
either
long-term,
planned
or
underway,
or
soon
to
be
underway,
such
as
studies
of
savannah
highway
and
studies
of
the
ashley
river
bridges
to
see
how
best
for
this
area
to
function
as
it
feeds
into
the
crosstown
improvements
to
intersections
along
savannah
highway.
The
charleston
county
is
looking
at
widening
of
the
glenn
mcconnell
parkway
improvements
at
main
road
and
17.
F
Unlike
anything
we've
ever
had
in
this
region
and
hopefully
we'll
get
our
transit
numbers
up
a
good
bit.
Our
longer
term
future
also
includes
aspects
such
as
the
low
country,
low
line.
This
is
a
concept
master
plan.
Of
course
the
right-of-way
has
been
secured,
there's
an
overall
concept
plan
for
envision
for
the
low
line,
but
we
have
a
lot
more
detail
to
work
on
money
to
be
pull
allocated
together,
and
you
know
initial
phases
begun
on
this.
So
it's
a
very
exciting
aspect.
F
We
are
going
to
have
a
map
in
here
that
has
that
on
it.
I
don't
have
that
at
present
and
then,
of
course,
we
have
the
low
country,
rapid
transit
map
for
the
entire
route
there
and
then
a
little
bit
more
of
a
deeper
dive
into
that
for
the
downtown
area
around
the
particular
stops
that
there
will
be
where,
in
a
lot
of
instances,
we
hope
to
emphasize
transit-oriented
development,
particularly
in
those
areas
where
they
are
not
is
surrounded
by
historic
structures
and
are
in
areas
of
higher
elevations
such
as
the
upper
peninsula.
F
West
edge,
is
also
a
good
example
of
how
the
tod
type
design
can
help
bring
riders
to
such
a
system,
and
then
we
have
our
overall
here's
here.
It
is
I'm
sorry
I
was
jumping
ahead
with
the
commuter
ferry,
and
here
are
some
potential
sites
for
commuter
ferry
and
we
hope
to
have
further
planning
occur
on
these
as
part
of
the
recommendation
for
those
we
have
also
brought
into
the
the
discussion,
the
impact
of
water
with
our
transportation.
F
So
we
also
have
our
transportation
calls
throughout
the
area.
No
surprise
that
canoy
peninsula
has
the
greatest
transportation
calls,
because
it's
furthest
out
from
a
lot
of
the
key
centers
in
the
region,
but
anyway,
it's
interesting
that
west
ashley
actually
has
cheaper
transportation
costs
than
the
peninsula.
F
F
Assuming
we
can
make
the
success
that
we
think
it
will
be
at
the
lowcountry
rapid
transit
looking
at
other
corridors
such
as
sam
rittenberg,
savannah,
highway,
glenn,
mcconnell
folly,
road
and
clements
ferry
for
how
those
could
potentially
be
future
rapid
transit
routes
as
well
so
and
I'm
going
to
kind
of
just
jump
ahead
here
and
for
the
sake
of
time,
not
list
all
of
these.
But
I'm
happy
to
go
into
more
detail.
If
you
all
have
questions
about
a
particular
one.
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
since
we
just
did
a
transportation
plan,
I'm
glad
y'all
are
bouncing
off
of
that
one,
because
once
again,
there's
no
reason
to
you
know
reinvent
the
will
in
in
light
of
the
discussion
we
had
at
the
last
planning
commission
meeting
about
multi-modal
past
with
subdivision
design,
site
design
standards
and
that's
right
on
page
12.
What
the
comp
plan
is
supposed
to
do
is
set
some
fundamentals
for
that
this
might
be
a
really
good
place
to
add
a
subtle
recommendation
into
this
transportation
plan.
C
You
know
subdivision
review
in
some
form,
so
this
might
be
an
excellent
place
to
add
that
recommendation
and
make
sure
that
the
use
of
or
school
and
connectivity
to
schools
are
addressed
because,
in
my
experience,
currently
the
west
ashley
greenway
prior
to
covid,
look
like
a
highway
of
kids
biking
and
walking
to
school,
because
we
have
four
schools
that
easily
address
this.
This
you
know
pedestrian
path
and
really
they
the
streets
that
they
cross
are
usually
smaller,
neighborhood
streets.
C
A
Thank
you,
ms
jacobs,
makes
sense.
Howard.
Did
you
have
your
hand
up?
I'm
sorry,
nope.
Sorry,
any
other
questions,
jacob's,
good
comments
and
a
lot
of
challenges,
and
we
did
talk
about
that.
The
other
day
about
that
pedestrian,
bikeway
issues
and
stuff
on
subdivision
approvals
and
review
any
other
questions
or
comments.
Commercial
members,
if
not
we'll
go
into
community
facilities
and
priority
investments.
B
B
Public
service,
urban
and
community
development
and
then
additional
services
that
were
required
to
address
in
the
comprehensive
plan
for
state
law,
but
that
are
carried
out
by
other
agencies.
Those
are
listed
here,
sort
of
separately
it's
water
and
sewer
emergency,
medical
services,
educational
facilities
and
libraries
that
we
just
touch
on
what
the
agencies
that
provide
those
and
manage
those
that
we
coordinate
with
again.
The
and
all
the
images
are
capital
improvement
projects
completed
in
the
last
10
years.
The
island,
recreation,
municipal
golf
course,
and
the
last
go
back.
B
B
B
Okay,
next
christopher
and
here's
another
capital
improvement
project,
which
is
the
restroom
at
ferguson
village
park,
and
then
we've
combined
a
priority
investment,
which
is
another
required
element
of
comprehensive
plans.
And
again
this
is
addressed
through
the
capital
improvement
plan,
which
happens
separately
outside
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
B
B
Some
of
them
are
carryovers
from
the
century.
Five
plan
just
continuing
to
support
only
annexation
of
areas
within
the
urban
growth
boundary
public
facility
standards
establish
you
know,
establishing
those
throughout
consistent
service
standards
throughout
the
city,
prioritizing
stormwater
and
flooding
solutions
for
special
protection
areas.
So
just
these
are
just
kind
of
emphasizing
things
that
are
already
happening,
but
just
encoura.
B
Catalyze
displacement
continuing
to
improve
collaboration
with
other
jurisdictions,
to
address
all
of
these
infrastructure
challenges
and
investments
that
we
need
and
coordinating
with
local
school
districts,
and
this
is
a
the
growing
the
city's
capacity
to
improve
maintenance
of
existing
drainage
infrastructure.
So,
even
though
that's
something
that
storm
water
management
department
largely
oversees,
this
was
something
that
just
was
made
very
loud
and
clear
by
the
public.
During
engagement,
we
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
reflected
the
the
requests
of
the
community
that
this
be
emphasized
in
the
plan.
I'll
stop
there.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Every
every
week
we
get
this
hey
neighbor
newsletter
and
there's
this
long
list
of
capital
projects
in
there
that
are
being
done
in
the
city,
and
it
made
me
start
thinking
that
maybe
it's
time
with
the
fact
that
we've
grown
so
exponentially
and
we
have
so
many
capital
projects
that
are
necessary
in
the
city
that
an
efficiency
look
at
separating
that
into
an
independent
department.
C
I
didn't
know
if
this
was
the
appropriate
element
to
consider
recommending
that
we
have
an
efficiency,
look
at
what
that
would
take
to
separate
and
add
that
as
a
unit
for
the
city
because
of
our
growth.
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
into
the
discussion.
I
know
that's
a
bigger
discussion
and
we
don't
have
time
for
it.
C
Maybe
the
commission
members
that
are
here
can
think
about
that,
but
I
felt
strongly
that
it
might
be
time
that
we,
you
know
that
the
city
take
on
as
a
recommendation
to
evaluate
the
need
for
a
capital.
You
know
projects,
department
and
capital
projects
and
maintenance
department,
just
based
on
growth
of
the
city
alone.
A
D
Okay,
all
right,
so
I'm
gonna
try
my
best
to
be
brief.
So
you
have
seen
a
lot
of
these
graphics
that
we're
gonna
show
in
this
section,
including
the
two
here
on
the
right
that
show
the
number
of
new
units
approved
annually
as
a
percentage
of
existing
housing
stocks.
That's
just
showing
that
we
are
building
a
lot
of
units
and
on
par
with
some
fast-growing
mid-sized
cities
there
at
the
bottom.
D
D
D
Here
we
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
affordability
gap,
the
need
kind
of
defining
the
need
in
the
city
for
affordable
housing
units
at
different
income
levels,
and
then
we
talk
about
some
of
the
other
factors
that
contribute
to
housing
choice.
So
affordability
is
really
only
one
part
of
that
equation.
D
Next
slide,
please
that
chart
h7
very
descriptive
there
is,
is
going
to
show
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
units
created,
deed,
restricted,
affordable
housing
units
created
since
the
year
2000.
So
we've
shown
that
on
some
other
slides,
but
that's
what
that
image
is
going
to
show
basically
a
bar
graph
of
the
amount
of
units
generated
each
year.
D
But
these
are
just
some
some
different
examples
around
the
city
and
then
also
in
the
city
of
atlanta
there.
That
larger
image
of
the
duplex
is
an
example
of
what
could
be
possible
through
maybe
expanding
some
of
those
missing
middle
housing
types
around
our
city.
So
next
slide,
please,
oh,
I
thought
I
thought
we
had
a
subheading
that
said
missing
middle,
so
that
was
the
missing
middle
section
if
you'll
just
back
up
one.
Second,
please
sorry!
Oh.
H
D
So,
if
you'll
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
we
kind
of
wrap
this
section
up
by
talking
about
some
of
the
different
effects
of
our
housing,
affordability
problem
and
so
how
how
these
kind
of
manifest
in
the
community,
including
increased
traffic,
when
people
have
to
live
further
away
from
the
job
centers.
You
know,
businesses
struggling
to
staff
we've
seen
that
a
lot
with
restaurants
downtown
that
their
employees
can't
afford
to
live
downtown
because
the
stock
is
not
available
and
then,
of
course,
homelessness
and
displacement,
or
big
effects
of
affordable
housing.
D
The
lack
of
affordable
housing.
Here
we
we,
I
think
we
we've
covered
a
lot
of
these
recommendations
in
other
session
sessions,
so
obviously
encouraging
a
diversity
of
housing
types
is
a
key
theme
expanding.
You
know
the
ability
to
to
include
attached
style
housing
like
townhomes
condominiums,
duplexes
triplexes,
four
plexes
buy
right
in
more
base
zoning
districts
around
the
city.
We
you
know
some
other
things
are
you
know
creating
dedicated
funding
stream
for
affordable
housing
development
through
some
of
our
planning
and
zoning
tools.
D
So
that's
number
four
that
I
was
just
referring
to
and
yeah,
and
I
think
I
think,
we've
added
a
few
that
you've
all
may
have
not
seen.
I
think
number
15
is
one
supporting
the
creation
of
senior
senior
housing
of
senior
affordable
housing
in
areas
of
the
city
and
then
enforcing
continuing
to
enforce
our
short-term
rental
ordinance.
So
yeah.
I
will
take
any
questions.
I
try
my
best
to
be
brief,
but
it's
hard.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I'm
there's
some
very
exciting
stuff
in
this
section.
Also
I
this
is
where
education
that
we
talked
about
during
community
community
engagement
becomes
really
important
because
during
my
early
tenure
as
a
planning,
commissioner
staff
has
spent
some
spend
some
time.
Educating
me
on,
what's
known
as
missing
middle
and
the
real
understanding
of
density,
and
I
think
this
there's
a
lot
of
misunderstanding
in
our
community
about
this.
C
So
with
some
of
these
recommendations
in
our
education,
I
think
we
might
be
able
to
move
forward
and
have
the
community
understand
what
we're
trying
to
do.
So,
I'm
really
glad
to
see
that
you're
adding
these
these
terminologies
as
a
beginning
of
education
for
the
community-
and
I
appreciate
times
staff's
time
to
educate
me
on
these
issues.
Thank
you.
I
I
I
was
going
to
kind
of
save
this
as
a
wrap
up
comment
for
the
end,
but
miss
jacobs
kind
of
inspired
me
to
share
this
thought
now
with
her
comments,
and
that
is
that
you
know
this
this
entire
plan,
it's
it's.
It's
an
aspirational
document
that
has
all
these
recommendations
on
housing,
transportation,
cultural
resources,
capital
projects,
resilience,
I'm
sure,
I've.
I've
missed
a
couple
and
of
course
there
will
there'll
never
be
enough
money
to
do
all
the
things
that
that
are
recommended
here,
and
fortunately,
that's
not
our
job
to
figure
out.
I
I
But
I
wonder
if
we
should
perhaps
opine
on
what
we
think
would
happen
if
we
just
completely
put
the
brakes
on
development,
because
it
seems
to
me
in
my
day-to-day
travels
around
the
city,
that's
what
a
lot
of
people
think
we
ought
to
do,
and
I
personally
don't
believe
it.
I
I
believe
it
would
make
affordable
housing
situation
worse.
A
Nope
good
comments,
mr
bailey,
I
agree
with
you
it's
you
hear
that
every
day
or
just
stop
growth
or
stop
this,
and
it's
just
not
that
easy.
Imagine
what
economic
development
would
do
if
you
stock
growth
people
stop
moving
their
companies
here
and
everything
else.
So
other
comments,
questions
or
staff.
Any
comments.
J
J
What
I
think
I
mean
every
every
section
of
this
plan
is
important
and
that's
that's
why
it's
a
10-year
plan
and
every
section
is
important,
but
I
dare
say
this
might
be
the
most
important
section
and-
and
I
think
that
I
think
mr
bailey
is
right-
that
this
is
you
know
for
a
planning,
commissioner,
this
is
the
most
challenging
issue
we
deal
with.
You
know
there
are
other.
J
I
just
I
just
want
to
commend
my
fellow
commissioners
for
their
comments,
and
and
and
perhaps
it's
you
know
that
what's
here
is
enough
and
and
this
is
a
separate
issue,
but
I
do
think
that
that
creating
some
communications
tools
that
the
commission
could
refer
people
to
and
that
staff
could
refer
people
to
or
and
so
forth.
I
think
that
would
be
really
really
helpful.
So.
A
Thank
you
so
saying,
and
you
know
I
guess
it's.
The
question
is:
how
do
we
educate
the
public
because
we
see
it
all
the
time
when
we
have
subdivision
requests,
and
we
said
we,
we
can't
have
any
more
people
and
we've
got
to
stop
so
we
hear
it
all
the
time.
You're
right
and
I
think
mr
bailey
and
miss
jacobs
are
right.
How
do
we
educate
the
public,
miss
jacobs?
You
go
ahead.
C
And
I've
thought
about
that
question.
I
even
suggested
to
staff
that
maybe
quarterly
at
quarterly
meetings
before
planning
commission,
we
do
a
half
an
hour
of
planning
planning
101
these
basic
things,
because
I
was
sent
a
video
by
a
staff
member
called
guess:
the
density,
it's
a
short
little
youtube,
video
you're,
going
to
get
it
wrong.
Every
time,
you're
going
to
look
at
something
and
and
say:
oh,
that's,
a
nice,
suburban,
layout
and
and
you'll
find
out
that
the
density
is
completely
different
than
what
you
think.
C
So
some
of
these
things
are
counter
intuitive.
They
hear
the
word
density
and
they
think
the
wrong
thing,
and
so
I
think
we
have
opportunities
with
youtube
videos
and
to
link
to
those
educational
processes
that
will
will
help
us.
As
mr
lissane
says,
we
can't
and
mr
bailey
says
we
can't
stop
development.
We've
got
to
manage
it,
smartly
and
part
of
that
management.
C
Smartly
is
teaching
the
community
how
we
make
the
decisions
and
why
we
make
the
decisions,
and
if
we
did
that
quarterly
half
an
hour
before
planning
commission,
maybe
we
even
get
our
ceus
that
way,
so
we
could
kill
a
lot
of
birds
with
one
stone,
and
so
that's
my
absolutely
drilling
down
micro
comment
on
that
one.
Thank
you
for
the
time.
A
H
H
H
Focused
maps
such
as
you
know,
west
ashley,
james
island
peninsula,
and
of
course,
you
know,
you've
got
the
four
risk
zones
of
high
ground,
adapt
zone,
compound
flood
risk
zone
and
the
tidal
blood
bristle
and
I've.
I
don't
know
that
I
need
to
go
into
any
any
more
discussion
or
detail
about
that,
but
we'll
be
happening.
Expressions
next
slide
and,
of
course,
you've
seen
these
these
graphics
as
well.
You
know
just
kind
of
explanatory
graphics
that
try
to
get
us
from.
H
You
know
stemmed
from
our
analysis,
especially
a
focus
on
elevation
and
where
water
is
going
or
will
be
in
the
future,
and
so
that
you
know,
of
course,
elevation
helped,
inform
our
new
future
land
use
maps
that
you
know
well,
of
course,
you've
seen
before.
But
we'll
look
at
again
here,
but
you
know
we
developed
12,
future
land
use
categories,
and
you
know
we.
H
I
did
just
want
to
point
out
that,
as
we
move
to
the
next
slide
that
in
the
now
this
is,
this
is
just
a
quick
list
of
all
of
the
land
use
categories
and
I'll
go
into
a
little
more
detail.
But
I
did
want
to
point
out
that,
as
we
ran
some
of
the
numbers
in
our
land
use
maps,
it's
notable
that
the
city
is
made
up.
H
Of
areas
that
are
developed
and
those
areas
that
are
undeveloped
or
undeveloped,
undevelopable,
and
it
turns
out
that
a
lot
of
the
city-
and,
of
course
this
is
within
the
ugb
and
within
the
boundaries
and
not
you
know,
river
area,
we're
talking,
you
know
areas
within
our
sort
of
plan
boundaries.
50
of
the
city
is
actually
natural
or
wetland.
H
H
You
can
obviously
read
those
on
your
own
and
make
comments,
but
then,
let's
see
the
next
slide,
please
next,
we,
this
is
one
that
could
generate
some
discussions
because
it
does
kind
of
break
down
by
land
use
category
and
by
area
of
the
city.
You
know
how
much
you
know
of
the
city
is
made
up
of
each
category,
as
you
can
see,
with
city-wide
city-wide
within
the
ugb,
and
this
this,
of
course,
is
including
boat
city
and
county
area,
but
excluding
town
of
james
island
area.
H
H
You
know
where
we
would
see
potential
from
our
marsh
migration
in
the
future
over
the
next
few
decades.
Some
of
the
the
landis
categories
that
you
might
assume
would
be
more
intense,
more
dense.
You
know,
residential
development,
you
know,
might
be
your
your
city
centers
and
your
neighborhood
neighborhood
edge.
As
you
can
see,
the
these
categories
make
up
a
pretty
low
percentage
of
the
city
overall
and
also
in
most
of
the
other
or
most
of
the
areas
of
the
city
as
you
break
them
down,
except
for
the
peninsula.
H
Obviously,
city
centers
makes
up
a
pretty
good
chunk
of
the
peninsula
and
some
some
of
the
other
categories
like
neighborhood
and
you
know
and
of
course,
there's
a
good
amount
of
campus
and
industrial
on
the
pencil
as
well.
But
if
you
had,
if
you
as
you
look
at
this,
if
you
have
any
questions
about
these
areas
or
comments,
you
know
please
feel
free
to
chime
in
before
we
move
on
the
of
course,
you've
you've
seen
these
maps.
These
are,
of
course,
the
future
landings
maps.
H
H
Kind
of
kind
of
hard
to
say
when
that
might
change
in
what
would
happen
at
union
pier
over
the
next
10
years,
so
yeah
again
you've
seen
most
of
these
maps.
We
probably
don't
need
to
dwell
on
any
one
of
them
unless
you
want
to
as
we
go
through
them,
but
we
can
move
straight
on
to
recommendations
which
I
think
is
right.
After
these.
H
B
While
you're
scrolling,
through
these
phillips,
just
make
a
quick,
give
a
quick
update
on
the
settlement
community
layer
on
here
this
is,
I
muted
you,
philip
just
so
you
know
so
that
there's
not
an
echo.
This
is.
This
is
updated
from
the
last
time
you
saw
these
maps
and
we
really
want
to
emphasize
that
these
these
outlines
are,
should
be
interpreted
as
approximate
boundaries
and
and
not
even
I
don't
even
think
boundaries
is
the
right
word.
B
These
are
just
highlighting
sort
of
the
general
area
and
we
we
want
to
we're
going
to
work
with
our
graphic
designer
to
see
how
we
can
best
sort
of
de-emphasize
that
line
it.
We
don't
want
it
to
be
read
as
a
hard
line
sort
of
signifying
in
or
out
settlement
area,
and
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
how
these
were
drawn.
B
We
have
the
approximate
boundary
and
then
I
traced
loosely
around
that
sort
of
by
hand
traced
loosely
around
that
to
include
more
natural
areas
and
then
added
a
100
foot
buffer
to
that
rough
outline
just
to
round
out
the
edges.
So
really
these
are.
These
are
approximate
and
it's
meant
to
highlight
an
area,
a
general
area.
It's
not
meant
to
signify
you're,
either
in
settlement
or
out
settlement.
H
Yeah,
so
I
think
these
are
more
or
less
what
you'd
seen
before.
I
think
we
we
honed
some
of
the
language
of
them
and
and
added
maybe
a
couple.
I
think
one
one
note
one
to
note
that
we
added
was,
let's
see
to
you,
know,
continue
to
work
collaboratively
collaboratively
with.
Basically,
you
know
jurisdictions
such
as
bcd
cog
and
north
charleston,
and
you.
H
Much
in
you
know,
with
respect
to
the
low
country
rapid
transit
corridor,
where
we
would
obviously,
especially
for
the
peninsula,
you
know,
look
to
have
a
little
bit
more
density
around
that
corridor,
hubs
of
residential
density
and
that's
also
reflected
in
the
land
map
or
the
future.
You
know
land
use
plan
map,
so
we
wanted
to
have
a
recommendation
that
also
reflected
that
christopher
were
there
others
in
this
list
that
you
wanted
to
pull
out
specifically.
F
You
know,
I
think
it's
important
to
to
remember
that
this
plan
you
know,
seeks
to
strengthen
the
urban
growth
boundary.
You
know
we
hear
a
lot
about
the
desire
to
do
that,
particularly
in
reference
to
john's
island,
and
we
feel
it's
in
a
good,
strong
position
on
john's
island,
but
remarkably,
it's
in
pretty
much
the
same
location.
It
was
drawn
over
20
years
ago.
F
So
that's
that's
a
really
good
sign
that
it
has
been
respected
over
the
last
20
years
and
we
think
it
would
be
very
good
to
have
continued
coordination
with
the
adjacent
jurisdictions,
I.e,
mainly
charleston
county,
to
protect
land
outside
the
ugb
via
land
acquisition
or
park
development
and
conservation
easements,
and
that's
you
know
a
way
that
you
can
really
work
to
strengthen
it.
Of
course,
we
have
a
small
strengthening
that
we
think
we
could
do
along
lower
folly
road
where
we've
got
some
zoning,
that's
on
the
ground
already.
F
That
is
not
really
compatible
with
a
rural
area
along
lower
folly,
so
we
can
certainly
make
a
change
there.
But
that's
up
to
commission
city
council,
but
ugb
is
a
key
part
of
this,
but
I
think
in
general
you
know
what
we
see
is
a
city
that
is
a
very
green
city
because
we
have
taken
into
account.
You
know
where
the
the
lower
areas
are
and
also
you
know,
trying
to
keep
other
areas
preserved.
F
Elevation
is
key
to
everything
in
all
this.
You
know
it
is
going
to
require
a
new
zoning
ordinance
that
will
be
very
much
elevation-based,
but
it
it
seems
to
be
a
city
that
will
still
have
areas
for
growth,
but
will
maintain
an
overwhelming
sense
of
green
within
it
with
over
50
of
the
land
in
that
cat
in
those
kind
of
green
categories.
F
A
C
H
C
E
When
we're
looking
at
the
elevation
based
land
use,
I
mean
it
kind
of
goes
back
to
the
housing
and-
and
I
apologize
I've
been
in
and
out
of,
I've
been
listening
to
the
entire
meeting
as
an
attendee.
You
know
listening
to
it,
but
I've
been
off
and
on
on
this,
but
I've
heard
everything
are
we
going
to
look
at
height?
F
I
mean
it
would
be
on
the
table.
I
mean
where
we
don't
have
existing
development
in
areas
like
these
low
impact
and
conserved
areas.
If
there
isn't
existing
development,
I
think
we
would
be
recommending
very,
very
low
density.
You
know
less
than
one
unit
per
acre,
because
it's
the
most
threatened
area,
so
even
height,
doesn't
really.
You
know
fix
that,
because
the
water
is
coming
in
areas
that
are
already
developed
that
are
low
impact
and
conserved.
You
know
that's
going
to
be
a
defend
and
adapt.
F
E
A
B
B
We
knew
that
it
was
essential
for
us
to
include
an
element
on
resiliency
and,
as
we
were,
putting
it
together.
One
of
the
reasons
why
it
wasn't
in
the
last
packet
in
terms
of
draft
segments
of
the
city
plan
is
we
we
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
resilience
was
threaded
throughout
the
plan
and
was
going
to
use
this
this
element
at
the
end.
B
To
summarize
how
resiliency
has
been
threaded
out
threat
threaded
throughout
the
plan
and
also
any
sort
of
additional
recommendations
that
didn't
quite
fit
into
other
sections,
as
we
were
talking
about
this
and
also
trying
to
articulate
this
racial
and
equity
framework,
we
realized
that
this
all
this
chapter
needed
to
be
expanded
to
not
just
focus
on
resiliency,
but
also
to
focus
on
equity
sort
of
two
intersecting
inseparable
pieces
that
need
to
be
focused
focused
throughout
the
plan.
So
that
is
that's
what
we've
attempted
to
do
with
this
chapter.
It
goes
into.
B
D
It's
a
tongue
twister
there,
but
so
they
they
have.
You
know
the
sea
level
rise
strategy,
the
vulnerability
assessment
and
the
climate
action
plan.
You
know
really
important
documents
that
we
wanted
to
give
their
proper
weight
in
the
plan.
So
if
you'll
just
turn
the
page
please
so
we
we,
we
kind
of
thought
about
breaking
these
resilience
into
climate
resilience
and
actions
that
we
can
take
to
mitigate
climate
change
and
the
effects
of
climate
change.
D
You
can
see
the
the
spring
fish
burn
drainage
tunnel.
Massive
project
here
in
the
bottom
right
corner
is
that
is
a
photo
of
that
turn
the
page.
Please,
then,
our
next
kind
of
type
of
resilience
is
ecological
and
talking
about
how
we
can
preserve
and
make
our
natural
environment
and
the
floor
and
fauna
of
our
area
more
resilient
in
the
future
and
kind
of
save
those
habitats
through
different
planting
and
zoning
mechanisms.
D
D
The
next
is
social
resilience,
and
so
this
is
an
area
that
we
can.
We
can
introduce
the
health
and
all
policies
framework
that
you
know
musc
and
a
lot
of
our
internal
city
staff
promote.
So
how
can
we?
How
can
we
promote
health
and
wellness
through
planning
and
zoning
mechanisms?
Things
like
active
transportation?
D
Also,
as
I
mentioned
in
another
section,
the
exposure
to
extreme
heat
as
another
area
that
you
know
we
can
create
policies
that
help
to
mitigate
those
effects.
Here
on
the
right,
this
image
may
change.
This
is
something
that
chloe
and
I
were
really
excited
to
dive
into
this
week.
This
is
an
image
from
a
1931
study
that
the
city
commissioned
as
kind
of
a
guide
for
the
city's
very
first
zoning
ordinance,
and
so
we
are
actually
you
know
these.
D
These
maps
are
old
maps
on
on
linen
very
it
was
really
really
cool
to
be
able
to
look
at
those.
Take
some
photos,
but
really
you
know
we're
gonna
be
looking
at
the
original
report
as
well,
just
to
highlight
the
way
in
which
you
know,
planning
and
zoning
policies
have
have
kind
of
exacerbated
or
even
caused
segregation
and
other
inequitable
outcomes
over
time.
D
So
this
map
it's
really
hard
to
see,
but
it
actually
outlines
future
districts
by
race
so
definitely
kind
of
reckoning,
with
kind
of
some
of
the
origins
of
our
of
our
discipline
and
highlighting
that
being
open,
creating
an
open
space
for
dialogue
about
that,
if
you'll
turn
the
page,
so
here
we're
kind
of
getting
into
our
equity
section.
You
see.
This
is
the
the
map
from
the
three
by
three
study
that
wagoner
ball
was
doing
to
to
kind
of
respond
to
the
army
corps
3x3
study.
D
D
You
turn
the
page
please
and
here
kind
of
speaking
to
that
is
the
september
clark
parkway,
which
we
highlight
is
during
the
1960s
policy
of
urban
renewal.
You
know
the
the
our
highway
system
cut
through
straight
through
historic,
african-american
neighborhoods
and
demolished
a
lot
of
houses
and
really
split
these
neighborhoods
and
splitting
families,
and
things
like
that.
So
these
are
kind
of
the
the
lasting
impacts.
D
We
also
have
the
the
climate
targets
that
come
from
or
are
greenhouse
gas
emission
targets.
I
should
say
that,
come
from
the
climate
action
plan
and
some
other
recommendations
from
that
plan
here
and
then
to
the
left,
your
you'll
see
I'm
not
sure
if
it's
included
in
this
pdf,
if
you
can,
you
take
one
more
page,
yeah,
okay,
we
did.
D
We
did
have
it
in
here,
but
this
is
a
a
way
that
we
tried
to
weave
kind
of
recommendations
from
all
throughout
the
plan,
in
in
the
spirit
of
kind
of
connecting
the
dots
and
showing
how
resilience
and
equity
show
up.
Throughout
the
plan
we
relisted
a
lot
of
the
recommendations
talked
about.
You
know
what
element
they're
from
some
other
plans
and
studies
that
have
suggested
these
things
or
created
the
basis
for
these
recommendations
and
then
what
type
of
equity
or
resilience
they
kind
of
fall
under.
D
B
They
worked
with
us
on
sort
of
developing
equity
framework
that
more
or
racial
equity,
lens
and
equity
lands
that
morphed
into
the
resilience
and
equity
framework.
That's
in
the
plan,
so
they
were
also
many
don't
know
this,
but
that
same
group
of
people
are
also
working
with
the
special
commission
on
equity
inclusion,
racial
conciliation,
so
community
assistance
program
has
also
been
working
with
them
on
their
framework,
so
those
were
sort
of
naturally
in
coordination
with
each
other.
So
we
were
not
sort
of
creating
our
own
bus.
B
If
you
will,
where
they're,
creating
a
different
one
like
we
were,
we
were
in
touch
and
that
the
same
racial
equity
glossary
that
was
provided
to
the
commission
has
also
been
incorporated
and
cited
in
this
plan
and
will
be
in
the
appendix.
So
there
is
that
connection
there
that
I
thought
was
important
to
highlight.
C
Yes,
sir,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
just
quickly
looked
at
your
little
reference
list
and
I
didn't
know
with
the
addition
of
that
map
that
you
just
found
that
y'all
shared
today
that
we
might
make
a
nod
to
the
book.
The
color
of
law
for
those
of
y'all
have
that
have
not
read
that
book.
It
does
describe
exactly
what
the
staff
has
been
describing
to
you
in
this
equity
understanding.
C
But
the
fact
that
so
many
things
that
were
done
impacted
the
african-american
community,
but
they're
still
here
and
woven
so
integrally
into
our
community
if
we
might
want
to
speak
just
to
their
resilience
through
so
many
things
that
have
lasted
to
this
and
that
we
now
we're
going
to
make
it
a
little
bit
more
formal
with
their
inclusion,
which
is
not
right.
The
right
word,
but
I
just
wanted
to
add
to
that.
And
then
in
the
recommendation
too.
C
I
don't
immediately
see
it,
and
maybe
it's
somewhere
that
a
I
know,
the
stormwater
department
has
set
up
a
routine
assessment,
evaluation
and
maintenance
of
all
the
stormwater
system
in
the
whole
city.
But
a
lot
of
the
older
neighborhoods
that
are
very
impacted
by
changing
communities
and
lower
income
communities
often
have
the
highest
impact
with
regard
to
storm
water
and
that,
if
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
equitable
look
at
the
city
for
that
for
management
of
stormwater.
C
F
Yeah,
I'm
gonna
stop
the
share
on
this,
so
we
can
get
everybody
here
on
the
same
screen
and
yeah.
So
that's
you
know
the
document
and
we've
heard
your
comments
today
been
making
notes
and
things
like
that
love
to
have
more
discussion.
If
you
all
want
to,
I
know
we're
running
a
little
bit
over
what
we
had
expected.
F
We
did
get
some
comments.
Obviously
this
is
not
the
public
hearing,
but
you
all
are
always
welcome
to
you
know.
Let
folks
speak
or
hear
the
comments
that
did
come
into
us
today.
Right
now
we
do
have
your
public
hearing
scheduled
for
june
9th,
which
will
be
the
full
public
hearing
and
then,
of
course,
there'll
be
another
public
hearing
when
this
is
at
city
council
in
july,
and
there
is
also
anticipated
a
workshop
between
you
all
and
city
council
sometime
between
june
9th
and
july
21st
or
july.
20Th.
F
A
K
Hey,
thank
you.
My
name
is
betsy
laforce,
I'm
with
the
coastal
conservation
league
at
131
spring
street.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
final
rough
draft
of
the
city
plan.
We
want
to
commend
the
city,
planning
staff
and
consultants
who've
been
working
tirelessly
on
engaging
the
public,
incorporating
their
feedback
and
preparing
this
plan
for
initial
review.
There
is
a
lot
of
great
content.
As
we've
seen
in
the
meeting
today.
We
look
forward
to
remaining
engaged
throughout
these
final
stages
of
public
participation
and
plan
adoption.
K
We
did
want
to
go
on
record
at
this
juncture
with
two
quick
points
for
your
consideration
in
advance
of
the
public
hearing
on
june
9th
first
from
the
land
use
element
regarding
the
canehoy
area.
We
understand
the
development
pressures
facing
the
charleston
area,
but
encourage
the
city
to
find
better
solutions
to
guide
the
development
of
the
canehoy
peninsula.
K
It
is
possible
to
protect
threatened
ecological
and
cultural
resources,
while
also
citing
future
residents
out
of
harm's
way
of
flooding.
Development
plans
for
cane
hoy
should
apply
the
living
with
water
approach
from
the
dutch
dialogues,
as
well
as
the
dutch
dialogues
recommendations
to
avoid
and
minimize
negative
ecological
impacts
to
the
greatest
extent
possible.
K
We
feel
strongly
that
future
development
on
the
kenhoy
peninsula
should
be
concentrated
exclusively
in
the
city
center
around
clements
ferry
road
and
as
such,
we
recommend
the
suburban
edge
future
land
use
designations
along
the
ugb
around
john's
island
and
cane
hoy
be
adjusted
to
lower
densities
that
match
the
royal
character
of
those
areas.
Secondly,
and
lastly,
from
the
transportation
element
regarding
the
personal
vehicle
section,
in
order
to
maintain
consistency
and
integrity
with
resilience
planning
efforts.
K
The
dutch
dialogues,
many
other
recommendations
throughout
the
draft
city
plan,
any
recommendations
related
to
advancing
or
supporting
the
I-526
mark
clark.
Extension
project
should
be
removed
from
the
city
plan
and
replaced
with
a
commitment
to
prioritizing
projects
that
are
designed
and
funded
and
do
not
threaten
cultural
and
natural
resources
nor
exacerbation
of
flooding.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
consideration
of
these
comments.
L
G
Name
is
brian
turner,
I'm
director
of
advocacy
with
the
preservation
society
of
charleston.
We
want
to
express
sincere
compliments
to
the
planning
staff
on
turning
around
this
draft
plan.
It's
an
incredible
piece
of
work
frankly,
and
it's
a
huge
improvement.
We
think
over
the
last
draft
initial
recommendations
and
commissioner
bailey
pointed
out
earlier
that
good
planning
doesn't
stop
growth
it.
G
It
really
helps
us
manage
change
in
a
way,
that's
mindful
of
what
makes
charleston
so
unique,
and
so,
if
there's
one
thing
that
this
process
has
really
made
clear
to
us,
it's
how
critical
it
is
that
our
planning
department
has
adequate
funding
in
the
city
budget.
We
can't
manage
change
well
or
achieve
the
good
public
policy
expressed
in
this
plan
without
a
fully
funded
planning
department.
So
we
aim
to
push
for
that
in
the
budgeting
process
and
we
hope
you'll
join
us
in
those
efforts.
G
G
Consistent
partners
with
the
city
throughout
the
public
engagement
process
and
has
conducted
outreach
to
our
members
conducted
webinars
with
our
partners
to
help
community
better
understand
how
impactful
this
plan
really
will
be
on
development
of
the
city,
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
detail
on
our
comments.
You
all
should
have
an
a
comment
letter
from
us,
but
I
just
want
to
really
commend
the
genuine
good
faith
effort
planning
staff
has
made
here
to
address
our
concerns,
giving
greater
emphasis
on
the
prevention
of
displacement
of
lower
income
residents.
G

A

There
are
three
coordinated
pub
master
plans
for
this
property
that
were
adopted
by
the
city
and,
of
course,
by
planning
approved
by
planning,
commission
and
adopted
by
the
city
back
in
2014,
the
the
mass
the
podmaster
plans
call
for
a
mixture
of
residential
and
commercial,
just
as
you'd
expect
in
conservation
areas
and
and
those
those
pods
are
also.
You
know
incorporated
into
two
development
agreements
for
this
property,
so
development
agreements,
of
course
entered
into
by
the
city
with
the
property
owners
and
it
locks
in
the
zoning
until
2046.
M
So
that's
25
year,
25
years
from
now,
and
as
this
commission
knows
that
the
purpose
of
development
agreements
is
to
is
to
provide
certainty
for
for
future
development
and
particularly
when
you
have
very
large
projects
like
this,
with
substantial
investment
and
infrastructure,
and
this
is
a
process
with
a
permitting
that
you
know
in
development.
That's
that's
underway,
and
this
has
been
ongoing
for
some
time
and
continues
to
be
ongoing.
M
We
think
this
is
a
fundamental
problem
that
really
needs
to
be
addressed
before
planning.
Commission
makes
any
decisions
on
this
comprehensive
plan,
and
let
me
say
we
are
very
glad
to
sit
down
with
with
the
staff
and
with
commission
members
and,
of
course
you
know
with
city
council
and
to
and
to
get
it
sorted
out.
M
The
inconsistency
that,
if
you
went
forward
with
this,
the
inconsistency
is
going
to
lead
to
confusion.
It's
going
to
lead
to
poor
decision
making
and
worse
case,
it's
actually
going
to
lead
to
decisions
that
conflict
with
existing
agreements
and
and
even
lawsuits,
and
and
it's
worth
bearing
in
mind
that
our
state
statute,
you
know
our
enabling
legislation,
if
you
will,
it
actually
calls
for
infrastructure
development
to
be
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
it
and
when
you
start
creating
a
comprehensive
plan,
that's
inconsistent
with
the
existing
commitments
of
the
city's
undertaking
that
creates
conflicts.
M
That's
that's
not
a
good
path
for
us
to
go
down.
We
really
don't
believe
that
the
right
approach
is
that
we,
this
comprehensive
plan,
at
least
in
this
area
we
believe
needs,
need
some
more
work.
It
needs
to
be
consistent
with,
what's
already
approved,
we're
glad
to
sit
down
with
the
staff
to
to
work
out
and
figure
it
out,
but
I
just
we
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
bring
that
to
the
attention
of
planning
commission
now,
rather
than
wait
for
the
public
hearing
next
month.
M
A
B
L
It's
also
some
of
the
highest
land
in
the
city.
It's
and
the
commitments
that
have
been
made
by
the
city
throughout
the
decades
to
this
property
are
substantial
and
a
substantial
investment
has
been
made
in
promoting
the
development
in
accordance
with
those
commitments
from
the
city.
We
think
it's
very
smart
growth.
We
disagree
that
it
should
be
low
density.
We
think
that
this
is
the
ideal
place
for
development
and
there
is
a
substantial
amount
of
pressure
for
residential
development.
L
A
L
A
A
All
right,
commission
members,
I
guess
we're
coming
to
close
comments,
questions
again,
I'm
gonna
go
back
and
again
this
is
a
rough
draft,
so
we
still
have
some
things
to
go
through
and
to
change,
and
it's
not
just
a
draft.
It's
a
rough
draft
and
I
want
to
thank
staff
again
for
all
the
time,
the
many
many
hours
and
days
and
weeks
that
they
spent
on
this
and
interesting
every
10
years.
You
do
this,
it's
a
big!
I
can't
imagine
what's
happened
in
10
years
in
charleston
and
how
important
this
is.
C
I
know
that
some
of
the
definitions
have
been
made
internally
and
some
of
the
definitions
have
come
from
maybe
a
planning
key
term
book
somewhere,
but
I
think
there
should
be
some
nod
to
how
we
came
to
these
key
terms,
how
we
came
to
these
definitions
since
we're
going
to
adopt
them
and
use
them
moving
forward
that
we
might
just
want
to
understand
how
we
got
to
them.
I
think
I
heard
jim
mentioned
that
there
was
some
consideration
somewhere
of
the
review
of
the
landscape
ordinance.
Did
I
understand
that
correctly?
C
Ordinance,
okay,
because
we
might
want
to
look
at
the
whole
landscape
ordinance
within
this,
and
I
appreciate
the
addition
of
the
education
and
with
the
with
the
resilience.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment,
because
I've
already
said
this
to
staff.
It's
resilience
has
many
many
forms,
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
acknowledge
that
we
lived
resilience
by
the
development
of
this
plan.
We
did
it
during
a
pandemic.
We
did
it
by
being
nimble.
C
We
did
it
by
adapting
very
quickly
to
the
circumstances
that
we
were
put
in
and
I
would
like
to
see
even
an
additional
nod
to
that
be
written
in
an
introductory
form
or
somewhere
in
the
plan,
so
that
for
the
we
always
marked
ourselves
by
after
hugo
by
hugo
forward
we're
going
to
mark
ourselves
by
pandemic
moving
forward,
and
I
think
we
really
do
need
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
we
ada
we
put
together
and
worked
on
a
very
high
level
planning
plan.
A
high
level
plan
for
the
city
of
charleston.
C
F
F
So
you
know
in
knoy
they
have
not
only
the
pud
that
is
in
effect,
but
the
development
agreement
that
that
secures
that
what
we
have
in
the
plan
are
recommendations
that
are
based
on.
You
know,
10
more
years
of
knowledge,
now
of
what's
going
on
with
the
elevations
what's
going
on
with
climate
change
and
they
are
substantial
and
what
we
are
showing
there
is.
F
Should
there
be
an
interest
in
changes
to
their
development
agreement,
which
would
you
know
purely
be
on
their
end
because
they
own
the
rights
to
that
development
agreement
for
the
secured
period
of
time
it
is
in
effect,
but
should
there
be
interest
in
changes
to
it
or
their
hud?
These
are
what
we
would
recommend
and
in
general
I
think
they
are
very
much
following
those
they're
putting
greater
density
along
clements
ferry,
which
is
the
highest
elevation
area
out
there.
F
So
right
there
alone
in
that
one
little
area,
you
could
probably
get
all
the
density
that
they
are
interested
in
having
for
their
entire
pud
and
development
agreement,
but
we
go
further
and
still
have
other
gradients
of
densities
as
you
get
away
from
clements
ferry
road
as
well.
But
there
is
no
doubt
that
there
are
areas,
particularly
on
the
southern
side
of
the
kingoi
development
or
the
point
hope
area
that
will
have
impact
from
rising
waters.
F
Marshes
things
like
that,
and
so
what
we
are
suggesting
by
virtue
of
these
layouts
is,
should
they
choose
to?
You
know,
make
modifications
to
their
own
pud
and
development
agreement.
These
are
areas
that
probably
you
know
they
should
be
going
to
get
away
from
the
rising
waters
and
the
greater
threat
of
marsh
migration.
A
If
not,
I
think
you
know,
we've
had
a
loan
we've
been
here
since
three,
so
we've
been
here
for
two
and
a
half
hours
and
we
still
have
again
the
key
is
this:
is
a
rough
draft
so
there's
more
to
go,
but
I
appreciate
everyone's
time
today.
Unless
there's
no
other
questions
comments,
I
guess
we'll
stand
adjourned.
I
hope
everybody
has
a
good
rest
of
the
week
and
and
good
luck
memorial
day
weekend.
