This
is
a
special
meeting
designed
to
update
the
commission
and
the
public
on
the
progress
of
the
charleston
city
plan.
We've
got
some
updates
from
some
of
our
consultant
team,
as
well
as
we're
gonna
review
with
the
commission,
the
existing
plan
and
the
elements
of
that,
and
then
we'll
also
have
a
brief
period
for
public
comment
and
with
that,
unless
there
are
comments
or
questions
from
the
commission,
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
our
water
land
use
team.
E
I
don't
know
if
aaron
stevens
or
taylor
schenker
from
circular
owned,
but
they're
our
local
landscape,
and
when
I
say
local,
I
mean
most
important,
really
consultant
and
then
josh
robinson
with
robinson
design.
Engineers
is
maybe
also
on
the
call,
but
certainly
on
the
team-
and
you
know
it's
it's
good-
to
look
10
years
forward.
It's
I
think,
useful
to
look
10
years
back.
F
Thank
you
all
to
the
planning
commission
for
the
opportunity
to
present
and
update
you
today.
I've
got
a
whole
bunch
of
slides
and
images
just
to
quickly
go
through
some
of
our
analytical
methods
and
some
of
our
preliminary
results.
So
please
keep
in
mind.
These
maps
bear
much
more
scrutiny
and
study,
but
I'm
going
to
go
pretty
quick
just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
where
we've
been
and
where
we're
headed.
F
Just
a
note
about
the
schedule
where
we
are
in
the
process:
we've
we've
just
about
finished.
The
city's
phase.
Two
is
establishing
a
shared
vision.
The
schedule
maybe
has
shifted
back
slightly,
so
we're
still
really
in
in
some
of
the
analysis,
phase,
getting
ready
to
work
towards
supplying
recommendations,
phase
and
the
water
lab.
The
city
will
be
hosting
on
september
23rd.
F
Just
a
brief,
incomplete
summary
of
the
stakeholder
engagement
we've
conducted
to
date.
There
are
more
names.
I
know
that
I've
missed
some
here,
but
just
to
just
to
make
note
that
we've
been
comprehensive
across
the
region
across
the
zone
of
study
within
the
city
by
region.
I
mean,
within
the
city
from
james
and
john's
to
west
ashley,
peninsula,
daniel
kanehoy
cross
citizen
leaders
and
elected
officials
and
city
staff.
F
F
We've
measured
and
mapped
100
year,
flood
plain
the
fema
existing
defirmed
floodplain,
but
we've
seen
elsewhere
across
the
country
that
the
100-year
flood
plain,
because
the
500-year
floodplain
and
rainfall
rates
become
the
100-year
rates,
as
these
floodplains
are
remapped
over
time,
the
rain
is
becoming
more
intense,
we've
discussed
with
matt
fountain.
The
city
is
already
incorporating
a
10
increase
in
their
planning
metrics
above
the
100
year.
Threshold
may
need
to
be
revisited
at
some
point
in
the
future,
but
you
get
a
sense
of
magnitude
here
of
amount
of
water
and
levels.
F
F
So
now,
some
of
our
mapping
and
analysis
across
the
city
I'm
going
to
stay
at
the
city
level,
this
kind
of
scale
of
map
and
I'll
zoom
in
a
bit
at
the
end.
Just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
how
this
analysis
plays
out
in
a
little
finer
grain
in
inner
west
ashley,
so
we
we
took
an
approach
to
find
kind
of
a
new
city
boundary
based
on
watersheds.
F
These
distinctions
also
roughly
correspond
for
the
purpose
of
analysis
to
the
vulnerability
analysis.
We've
we've
taken
a
great
deal
of
data
and
a
great
deal
of
foundational
work
from
that
report.
It's
excellent
work,
then,
at
the
next
scale
down,
we
mapped
all
of
the
watersheds
across
the
city,
so
you
get
to
see
through
this
map
sort
of
a
scale
of
recommendation,
maybe
ultimately
that
it's
important
to
zoom
into
each
of
these
watersheds
within
the
study
area
to
understand
the
impact
of
water
and
land
use
types
within
them.
F
A
lot
of
consequences
upstream
downstream
and
at
a
very
localized
scale,
so
we'll
be
working
towards
that
towards
that
scale,
breaking
down,
of
course,
mapping
surface
elevation.
I
think
this
is
something
people
are
largely
familiar
with,
but
you
see
some
of
the
bigger
geological
features
across
the
region.
These
sand
ridges
through
john's
island,
even
carrying
across
through
canehoy
that
high
ground,
yet
to
be
developed.
Some
other
critical
influences
and
ecological
influences
in
that
area.
Cultural,
historic
as
well.
F
Then
also
an
overlay
for
political
jurisdictions,
so
green,
green,
indicating
here
watersheds,
subject
to
one
city
and
county
jurisdiction
and,
as
you
work
up
to
red
and
orange
orange
and
red,
you
see
the
watershed
subject
to
multiple
other
jurisdictions,
where
extra
coordination
may
be
needed
for
development
recommendations,
solutions,
flooding,
solutions
going
forward,
we've
also
taken
a
look
at
the
potential
for
marsh
migration
across
the
landscape.
This
is
obviously
a
very
dynamic
environmental
condition.
F
F
F
F
This
thinking
about
land
and
percentages
is
important
when
you
factor
in
types
of
of
water
levels,
those
thresholds
again
and
we've
been
able
to
identify
not
only
the
flood
plain,
the
tidal
risk,
but
in
the
zone
above
the
tide.
This
compound
flood
risk.
That's
the
area
where
water
rain
from
rainfall
flowing
down
towards
the
sea
meets
tide
coming
up.
So
there's
an
extra
level
of
interaction
there
in
terms
of
flood
risk.
F
I'll
briefly
describe
this
curve.
This
blue
hatched
area
is
a
is
a
mapping
of
all
this
land
within
the
fema
100
year
floodplain,
and
this
this
is
a
high
level
abstraction.
But
what
you
see
is
that
about
15
percent
of
the
land
in
the
floodplain
100-year
floodplain
is
above
12
feet,
which
is
a
little
bit
counter-intuitive
that
there's
land
so
high
up,
which
is
remains
in
the
flood
plain.
F
So
it's
kind
of
this
long
sloped
area,
there's
a
similar
analysis
for
percentage
of
land
impacted
by
a
category
3,
storm
surge
and
basically
there's
kind
of
an
inflection
point
at
15
feet
here,
so
15
land
up
to
15
feet,
basically,
90
of
the
of
the
land
15
feet
or
below
would
flood
in
a
category
3
storm
surge.
So
this
is
an
infrequent
event,
but
another
critical
threshold
and
then
mapping
those
back
on
the
land
surface.
F
When
you
map
that
land
surface
and
compound
flood
risk
zone
over
the
city,
you
get
something
like
this
I'll
just
point
out
one
area:
to
give
you
an
example
of
how
this
works.
If
you
look
at
inner
west
ashley
here,
you
see
this
darker
blue
hatched
area.
I
know
this
is
very
zoomed
in
and
hard
to
see,
but
darker,
blue
hatch
is
the
fema
floodplain.
The
light
blue
field
here
is
that
compound
flood
risk
zone.
F
F
Finally,
last
two
slides
here:
this
is
a
church,
creek
watershed
zooming
into
that
watershed
scale
and
thinking
about
what
are
the
impacts
upstream
and
downstream
within
the
watershed.
In
addition,
what
are
the
impacts
close
to
creek
beds
and
far
away
from
creek
beds?
So
that's
what
you
see
here
upstream,
downstream
kind
of
in
a
break
more
or
less.
It
happens
at
bees,
ferry
road
upstream
up
towards
up
church,
creek
and
then
downstream
to
the
ashley
and
then
high
ground
and
low
ground
within
those
zones.
F
So
that's
the
hatch
area
here
so
there's
sort
of
an
offset
captures
the
floodplain
around
the
creek
itself,
but
then
the
upland
areas
around
the
edge
of
the
watershed
flowing
down
towards
the
creek
have
sort
of
a
dual
impact,
so
it's
kind
of
upstream,
downstream,
high
and
low.
At
the
same
time,
this
is
an
analysis
in
progress
and
we're
trying
to
translate
how
this
scale
would
would
function
as
a
recommendation.
Zoning
recommendation
not
not
quite
sure
yet,
but
it's
important
to
capture
these
impacts
for
property
runoff.
F
F
D
H
This
is
a
very
technical
question
and
maybe
you
can
just
send
me
some
kind
of
reference,
because
I
don't
think
we
should
spend
time
with
this,
but
I
was
very
curious
about
your
storm
surge
calculation
and
how
that
was
done.
Since
I
know
we
watch
hurricanes
all
the
time
and
they
predict
these
storm
surges
and
they
don't
quite
happen
the
way
they
think.
H
So
I
just
wonder:
what's
how
where's
the
information
drawn
to
create
the
calculation
to
use
for
your
formulation
for
the
storm
search,
and
you
can
just
actually
send
me
somewhere
to
read
that
because
it's
probably
way
too
much
technical
stuff
for
this
conversation
right
now,
but
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
G
D
I
D
I
D
Well,
this
is
a
good
topic
to
have
questions
on.
We
all
know
how
critical
this
is
for
all
of
us
living
here,
but
also
trying
to
plan
for
10
25
50
years
out.
This
is
so
critical,
so,
thanks
to
all
of
you,
I
see
no
other
hands
raised
so
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
team.
I
believe
this
is
our
housing
team.
That's
presenting
next.
D
J
J
But
just
one
early
success
that
we
is
our
goal
was
really
to
pass
back
to
the
city
as
comprehensive
a
database
as
we
possibly
could
in
the
housing
unit
stock
in
charleston
and
charleston
city,
particularly
gis
planning.
They
were
great
on
getting
us
data
really
quickly
and
we
were
able
to
move
forward
very
very
quickly
on
that,
and
what
we
found
is
that
there
are
a
number
of
housing
units
in
addition
to
the
address
points
that
we
received
initially.
J
So
we're
very
excited
at
this
point
to
pass
the
city
back
a
resource,
a
housing
unit
database
that
is
wider
and
deeper
than
the
one
we
received.
So
we
think
we'll
be
able
to
contribute
substantially
to
charleston's
knowledge
of
their
housing
stock.
So
we're
we're
very
excited
on
that
front
and
just
to
to
quickly
mention
it's.
J
Realtors
have
really
been
instrumental
in
helping
us
think
through
the
the
very
particular
and
local
context
of
charleston,
to
make
our
analysis
all
the
more
effective
and
useful
and
and
just
to
pull
out
an
example.
From
those
conversations
we
initially
started
with
our
study
area
or
area
of
interest
being
the
urban
growth
boundary
and
from
those
conversations
we
heard
that
housing
costs
were
really
being
driven
by
regulatory
differences
between
neighborhoods.
J
J
J
We
are
also
doing
a
lot
of
work
around
feature
selection
and
what
that
means
is
our
final
product
will
be
an
online
interactive
tool
that
people
can
filter
the
housing
units
by
they
can
filter
by
various
housing
attributes.
They
can
filter
by
price.
They
can
filter
by
location,
and
we
are
working
closely
with
jim
and
chloe
planning,
gis
and
housing
to
make
sure
that
all
the
features
that
are
most
relevant
to
people's
daily
jobs
are
there
and
present
in
this
tool.
J
So
we
are
also
working
to
establish
a
list
of
priorities
for
those
visualizations
and
what
they'll
be
is
a
deeper
dive
into
individual
variables
or
subjects
such
as
gentrification
or
housing
supports
those
who
are
eligible
by
neighborhood.
We
want
to
show
that
information
and
just
some
early
success
stories.
From
our
conversations
around
feature
selection.
J
The
gis
department
has
passed
us
a
tremendous
amount
of
information,
information
about
building
attributes
and
we've
also
linked
this
up
with
our
own
consumer
data
files
and
to
show
this
information
and
to
give
users.
The
ability
to
filter
by
various
housing
attributes
is
something
that
will
broaden
the
access
to
this
information.
Quite
a
bit
that
information
has
always
existed,
but
it's
very
difficult
to
query
so
we're
trying
to
create
a
tool
that
will
remove
those
barriers
to
entry
and
make
this
information
queryable
and
something
that
people
can
operate
on
a
daily
basis.
J
The
other
success
story
was
what
we're
bringing
to
the
table.
Are
these
consumer
data
files
that
have
demographic
information
about
charleston
residents,
so
you
can
filter
by
the
housing
stock
and
you
can
see
aggregate
figures
of
the
demographics
of
the
people
living
in
those
housing
units
and,
what's
great
about
the
consumer
data
files
that
we
have
access
to
is
they're,
not
just
samples.
J
So
we're
really
excited
to
provide
that
which
will
be
the
impetus
for
the
affordability
analysis
which
we'll
be
doing
based
on
the
modeled
housing
prices,
depending
on
what
neighborhood,
you're
looking
at
you'll
be
able
to
see
aggregate
demographic
information
by
the
housing
units
by
the
residents
of
the
in
those
housing
units
by
neighborhood
et
cetera.
However,.
J
We
want
to
be
able
to
give
people,
information
and
and
the
power
to
manipulate
the
housing
stock,
to
understand
it
better
to
see
who's
living
in
that
at
aggregate
levels.
So
that's
really
what
we're
going
for
and
we're
really
excited
to
continue
these
discussions
about
what
features
are
most
important
for
the
city.
What
visualizations
are
most
important
for
the
city
and
just
to
to
end
chloe
and
jim-
have
been
amazing
to
this
end
have
been
really
great
partners
in
helping
us
get
this
information.
D
H
Hello,
thank
you
for
all
of
that.
I
was
curious
as
a
in
addition
to
that
valuation.
If
I'm
understanding
it
right,
is
it
also
the
type
of
housing
stock
that
might
could
be
useful
in
creating
affordability,
because
I
I've
heard
a
lot
in
the
discuss
the
community
discussions
we've
had
about
just
the
need
for
the
term
using
missing
middle
or
tiny
homes
or
this
size
sort
of
thing.
So
this
is
this
part
of
this
tool
that
you're
talking
about
that
that
type
of
housing-
and
maybe
zoning
relating
to
that
type
of
housing
will
create.
H
J
No,
certainly,
and
and
one
and
a
feature
of
the
tool
will
allow
you
to
filter
by
zoning,
to
see
what
housing
units
fall
by
zoning
and
we'll
also
be
displaying
housing
attributes
that
you
can
filter
by
such
as
adus
or
accessory
dwelling
units.
So
you
can
find
out
how
many
accessory
dwelling
units
are
located
in
a
certain
geographic
area,
so
it
will
allow
you
to
search
for
those
attributes
and
it
will
allow
you
to
filter
by
particular
zones.
H
So
is
this
toolkit
specifically
for
like
the
planning
department
of
the
city,
or
there
will
be
an
element-
that's
educational,
because
I've
learned
that
sometimes
people
just
don't
understand
the
meaning
of
density.
So
we
get
a
lot
of
resistance
during
planning
and
rezoning
for
these
things,
where
people
don't
quite
understand
what
that
means.
Will
there
be
an
educational
side
of
this
where
you
could
direct
people,
so
they
better
understand.
So
we
can
facilitate
the
kind
of
change
that
we
might
need.
J
J
Is
a
great
opportunity
to
talk
about
how
those
stand-alone
visualizations
their
purpose
could
be
public
awareness.
It
could
be
to
advance
a
certain
awareness
about
an
issue
related
to
housing
and
that's
why
that
standalone
business
conversation
is
so
important
because
it
could
be
to
that
end.
Donna
that
you
mentioned
public
awareness
about
a
particular
issue.
So
I
think
that's
a
that's
a
really
good
example
of
of
the
discussions
we're
having
with
jim
and
chloe
and
gis
and
everyone
else
about.
H
Because
we
we
run
up
against
what
I
might
call
some
nimby,
where
people
want
things
just
not
very
close
to
them,
and
sometimes
I
think
it's
really
helpful
to
look
around
our
city
and
illustrate
examples
within
our
city
that
already
exist.
For
example,
I
always
go
to
my
neighborhood,
because
my
neighborhood
everybody
loves.
I
live
in
burns
towns,
but
if
you
look
at
it,
it's
really
a
highly
densed
area
and
there's
also
a
lot
of
grandfathered
in
accessory
dwelling
units
that
nobody
realizes
that
creates
affordability
for
rental.
H
So
I
think
if
the
public
sometimes
sees
it
in
their
own
backyard,
there
are
really
good
examples
of
these
sorts
of
things
that
we
need
to
make
housing,
affordable
and
all
the
things
for
planning
in
our
area.
It's
it's
it's
a
good
thing,
so,
thanks
for
generating
that
tool
that,
because
I
think
education
is
going
to
help
us
a
lot
during
this
process,.
D
G
A
And
and
and
trust
me
any
crea,
I
will
not
take
any
criticisms
personally,
because
you
know
we
know
there
are
lots
of
things
that
that
need
to
be
changed
in
this
document.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
we're
doing
a
new
plan
so
feel
free
to
speak
freely
here
as
we
go
through,
but
I'm
going
to
share
the
screen
here.
If
I
can-
and
I
believe
we
are
here
and
let
me
go
to
slideshow
if
you'll
go
to
slideshow
from
beginning,
is
everybody
seeing
a
full
screen
slide
now?
A
A
It
was
actually
a
10-year
rewrite
of
the
2000
century
five
city
plan,
so
we've
been
going
with
the
name
century
five
in
our
city
plans
for
20
years
now,
but
it's
about
to
be
put
to
rest,
but
anyway
that's
the
document
we're
going
to
be
reviewing
today
and
we
have
done
a
staff
level
review
of
it.
We
have,
I
think,
given
ourselves.
Pretty
fair
grades
have
not
been
too.
You
know
concerned
about
showing,
where
there's
some
some
shortcomings
in
this
document,
but
we're
again
interested
to
hear
from
you.
A
You
all
feel
free
to
interrupt
as
we're
going
along.
I
may
not
see
everybody's
hand
raised
or
whatever,
as
I'm
looking
at
the
slides
but
other
folks
in
the
staff.
If
y'all
would
alert
me
to
hands
raised
or
people
trying
to
make
some
comments
and
we'll
stop
and
go
into
those,
so
we're
going
to
go
back
to
the
year
2010.
A
as
strange
as
it
might
seem,
we
were
coming
out
of
a
recession,
then
strange
and
our
central
focus
was
on
shifting
the
way
we
developed
and
also
job
creation.
Job
creation
is
a
very
big
focus
of
our
city
council.
You
know
the
thing
to
remember
with
all
this.
Is
that
that
you
know
our
plans
have
a
degree
of
politics
in
them
from
the
standpoint
that
city
council
is
the
entity
that
has
to
approve
it.
A
So
if
we're
hearing
things
from
city
council
and
from
our
planning
commissioners
about
you
know
the
way
they
see
the
world,
then
that
is
often
reflected
in
the
document.
So
that
may
be
why
some
of
the
things
are
reflected
the
way
they
are,
but
at
the
time
in
2010
to
put
together
changes
and
direction
of
land
use
with
transportation
was
a
new
thing
for
the
city.
A
A
Housing
supply,
strangely,
was
not
a
major
concern.
We
had
had
in
fact
oversupply
to
a
degree
from
the
pre-recession
era
and
a
lot
of
foreclosed
units
were
out
there
and
we
were
not
hearing
from
the
public.
That
housing
was
the
great
concern
that
we
do
here
today,
and
climate
change
and
sea
level
rise
were
not
a
part
of
the
discussion.
Some
of
that
was
political.
A
We
had
had
a
green
plan
that
had
been
put
together
for
the
city
it
had
been
presented
to
city
council
and
city
council
chose
not
to
adopt
it;
instead,
they
just
received
it
as
information.
So
that
gives
you
a
good
sense
of
you
know
the
kind
of
political
situation
we
were
in
because
no
plan
is
going
to
get
anywhere
if
it's
not
adopted
by
council,
and
we
knew
they
had
just
turned
the
green
plan
into
just
an
adopted
information
packet.
So
next
slide.
A
So
in
the
century
five
plan
there
were
goals,
of
course,
and
I'm
gonna
go
kind
of
go
through
these,
and
hopefully
this
is
not
gonna
be
too
much
my
reading.
But
but
you
know
you
will
stop
me
if
it's
getting
too
monotonous
here,
but
population
and
housing
wanted
to
salt
to
accommodate
future
population
growth
through
land
use.
A
Policies
that
encourage
vibrant,
safe
and
diverse
neighborhoods
in
areas
that
allow
for
efficient
use
of
space
and
transportation
seems
pretty
innocuous
right
and
then
ensure
that
the
charleston
population
has
access
to
housing,
opportunities
that
provide
diversity
in
building
types,
availability
for
all
income
levels
and
proximity
to
transit
and
accessibility,
driver
job
centers
economic
development,
develop
and
implement
a
multi-tiered
economic
development
strategy
for
attraction
and
retention,
cultural
resources.
These
are
all
our
planned
elements
here
in
bold,
of
course,
cultural
resources
charleston
would
sustain
its
rich
and
dynamic
cultural
heritage
all
fairly
innocuous
here.
A
A
We
wanted
to
implement
land
use
and
transportation
planning
and
policies
to
create
compact
mixed-use
projects.
You're
going
to
see
that
reference
a
good
bit
in
here,
and
that
was
a
big
focus
in
2010-
was
encouraging
these
mixed-use
projects
that
for
better
for
worse,
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
now
forming
gathering
places
and
sites
designed
to
maximize
affordable
housing
and
encourage
walking,
bicycling
and
the
use
of
existing
and
future
public
transportation
systems.
A
Of
course,
in
2010
we
had
no
bus,
rapid
transit
on
the
horizon
that
we
are
now
have
funded
through
a
half
cent
sales
tax
and
and
voters
participation
and
are
getting
imp
seeking
to
get
implemented.
So
you
know
huge
advance
there.
Mobility
seek
to
offer
as
many
choices
for
mobility
and
charleston
as
possible
from
modes
to
routes.
Municipal
services
ensure
the
highest
quality
public
service
and
facilities
to
city
residents
got
to
move
on,
so
what
the
plan
and
or
implementation
did
well.
This
is
in
our
staff
opinion
we
feel
like.
A
We
really
did
a
great
job
with
maintaining
the
integrity
of
the
urban
growth
boundary,
and
that
has
been
a
planning
tool.
We've
had
in
place
since
2000,
and
it
has
really
been
incredibly
effective.
I
think
in
preserving
the
rural
character
on
the
majority
of
john's
island,
we're
only
about
15
to
20
percent
of
the
island
is
inside
the
urban
growth
boundary.
The
rest
is
outside
and
working
together
with
charleston
county
we've
upheld
that
there
have
been
a
few.
A
You
know
stumbles
along
the
ways
a
couple
of
moves
of
the
urban
growth
boundary,
but
essentially
it
went
back
to
where
it
was
originally,
and
I
think
it's
it's
doing
a
lot
on
john's
island
to
make
sure
we
don't
have
as
much
suburban
sprawl,
as
has
been
it
could
have
been
anticipated.
You
know,
20
years
ago
we
have
seen
density
increase
along
transit,
friendly
corridors
in
the
downtown
meeting
street
marston
drive
king
street
on
james
island,
along
maybank
highway
and
on
johns
island.
Again.
A
Significant
growth
has
been
realized
in
areas
targeted
for
growth
in
our
urban
core
areas
and
our
urban
areas,
and
we
had
redevelopment
of
vacant
or
underutilized
sites.
Some
examples
for
citadel
mall
and
the
peninsula,
and
again
we've
been
working
with
cedric
mall
for
their
redevelopment
and
there's
been
lots
more
development
on
the
peninsula.
A
I
think
there
may
be
some
suburban
areas
for
this
concern
about
flooding
things
like
that,
but
those
were
not
as
high
on
the
totem
pole
in
the
2010
plan,
as
they,
of
course,
will
be
in
the
2020
plan.
Weaknesses
where
the
plan
or
implementation
fell
short,
so
our
goals
were
probably
too
general.
I've
just
been
reading
some
of
those
general
goals,
so
maybe
we'll
work
with
you
all
to
to
make
this
a
little
bit
more
specific.
A
The
urban
growth
battery
on
james
island
doesn't
allow
align
with
the
century
five
recommendations
for
folly,
road
or
the
folly.
Road
overlay
still
is
an
issue
we'd
like
to
work
with
our
james
island
residents,
council
members
and
discuss
you
know:
are
there
some
slight
adjustments
to
the
urban
growth
boundary
along
lower
folly
road
that
let
existing
neighborhoods
such
as
the
spy
glass
apartments
and
the
ocean
neighbors
development
inside
the
urban
growth
boundary,
since
they
were
built
to
an
urban
density
preservation
of
existing
neighborhoods
at
the
cost
of
affordability?
A
I
think
that,
because
of
preservation,
ethics
and
requirements
such
as
bar
requirements,
existing
neighborhoods
can
become
more
expensive
and
and
definitely
our
housing
consultants
are
finding
that,
and
I
think
our
everyday
citizens
are
finding
that
too
recommendations
for
job
centers.
This
was
a
land
use.
Category
in
the
plan
were
not
followed
to
bring
more
employment
near
residential
and
especially
in
the
area
like
west
ashley
with
our
plan
was
ashley,
which
was
done.
You
know
five
years
ago.
A
We
have
realized
that
we
need
a
lot
more
jobs
in
west
ashley
and
we're
also
hearing
that
on
john's
island.
That
folks
would
like
a
lot
more
jobs
out
there.
Water
not
mentioned
environmental
considerations
were
minimal.
We
were
actually
taken
to
task
on
that
by
the
post
and
courier
in
our
recent
series
on
flooding,
so
they
are
correct
and
those
from
that
standpoint
did
not
manage
to
edge
as
well,
resulting
in
a
lot
of
growth
in
the
suburban
edges.
The
lower
density
designation
resulted
in
more
spread
rather
than
compact
concentrations
of
denser
development
infill.
A
A
The
social
component
of
development
was
not
addressed,
I.e,
gentrification
and
displacement
equity.
We're
continuing
to
see
in
our
preliminary
figures
decline
in
african
american
population
in
the
city,
particularly
in
some
of
the
downtown
neighborhoods
and
you're.
Definitely
seeing
those
neighborhoods
gentrify
housing
supply
is
not
addressed
in
depth,
something
that
will
not
be
a
problem
with
the
new
plan.
We'll
have
lots
of
detail
on
that
as
everybody
was
just
explaining.
A
Tourism
population
was
not
considered
and
it's
going
to
be
tough
for
us
to
dive
too
deeply
into
that.
We
do
have
tourism
plans.
We
do
have
on
our
horizon,
hopefully
a
new
downtown
plan
in
a
couple
of
years,
so
this
plan
won't
touch
on
that
too
much,
but
we
will
take
into
consideration
where
we
have
key
tourism
densities
as
we're
creating
land
use
recommendations
for
certain
areas.
A
Economic
development
opportunities
were
given
minimal
consideration
and
we
were
coming
out
of
a
recession,
then
we're
in
a
recession
right
now,
so
obviously
we're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
economic
development
thought
that
goes
into
the
document.
We
don't
have
a
separate
consultant
on
that,
but
I
think
we've
got
some
pretty
good
practical
thinkers
within
our
department
city
government
reforming
permitting,
and
the
review
process
has
been
in
the
past
two
plans
and
remains
a
major
challenge.
A
We
did
make
big
advances
over
the
last
10
years
in
electronic
submittals
and
things
like
that,
but
we
still
have
a
whole
lot
more
to
do.
I
would
imagine,
with
this
plan,
we'll
have
potentially
even
a
whole
new
zoning
ordinance
to
complete,
so
that'll,
be
something
that
will
be
coming
in
future
years.
A
So
lessons
for
next
time.
Sea
level,
rise
and
housing
should
be
central
focus,
and
I
think
we've
promised
that
with
this
document,
as
well
as
linking
land
use
to
employment,
strike
a
better
balance
between
preservation
and
affordability,
what
does
protect
neighborhoods
mean
no
change
at
all
versus
promote
and
enhance,
you
know
so
is,
is
you
know
the
the
kind
of
bar
review
of
demolition
items
in
upper
peninsula
neighborhoods,
something
that
makes
them
unaffordable?
Now?
You
know
that's
a
big
question.
A
A
So
getting
those
specifics
in
there
that
that
that
were
maybe
not
as
as
relevant
in
the
2010
plan
include
context
for
how
other
plans
relate
to
the
comprehensive
plan,
and
that
is
something
we
still
need
to
keep
to
keep
delineating.
How
we
keep
our
west
ashley
plan
plan
west
ashley
from
being
kind
of
swallowed
up
in
the
larger,
more
30
000
foot
version
of
the
century
of
the
citywide
plan.
A
Urban
growth
mounting
on
james
island
excuse
me
recommendations
that
should
seek
to
prevent
sprawl
and
better
manage
the
edges
and
directly
addressing
social
disparities
and
potential
for
gentrification
displacement,
promoting
equity
and
those
are
some
of
the
guiding
principles
that
we're
already
putting
together
for
our
new
plan,
the
user
document
or
the
the
user
friendly
document
that
we
got
better.
With
this
document,
we
really
need
to
do
more
with
the
new
one,
and
I
think
we
will
find
a
document
that
is
even
easier
to
use
than
the
current
one
is
more
legible
maps.
A
We
have
a
graphic
design
consultant
who's,
going
to
be
working
with
us
on
that
and
about
to
have
an
intimidating
name
like
century
five.
That's
why
we've
gone
with
the
name
city
plan
so
now
we're
going
to
go
through
and
and
if
you
all
want
to
stop
for
a
second
on
in
the
overall
goals
and
and
review
section
before
I
do
kind
of
some
of
the
line
by
line
things.
A
A
So
you're
going
to
see
these
figures
here.
The
check
mark
means,
in
our
staff
opinion
that
we
followed
the
recommendations
in
the
plan
in
over
the
last
10
years.
The
x
mark
will
mean
it
was
not
followed,
not
implemented
or
the
kind
of
recycle
mark.
There
is,
to
some
degree
some,
yes,
some
no,
so
it
has
the
up
and
down
kind
of
image
there.
So
we're
gonna
move
on
into
this.
So
in
population
housing
we
wanted
to
track
changes
in
national
and
local
population.
A
Demographic
shifts
to
ensure
growth,
management,
housing,
land
use
and
transportation
policies
reflect
current
trends
and
projections.
I
feel
like
that's
happened
to
some
degree.
We
continue
to
track
changes
locally,
but
you
know,
maybe
we
don't
have
the
best
data
we
possibly
could
we
monitor
housing,
construction
permits
and
sales
practices
prices
for
continuous
analysis
of
housing
needs.
We
definitely
know
where
the
construction
permits
are
going,
but
but
we
still
don't
have
a
good
handle
on
sale
prices.
A
Maintain
land
use
policies
that
allow
for
and
encourage
diversity
and
housing
opportunities
in
a
variety
of
neighborhood
contexts.
I
think
we've
done
pretty
well
with
that.
I
think
we've
seen
a
whole
lot
more
apartments
built.
I
think
we
are
building
more
affordable
housing
in
city
of
charleston
than
any
other
jurisdiction
in
the
charleston
region.
A
I
think
we
are
building
more
diverse
types
of
housing
from
town
houses,
apartments,
standard
single
family
even
now,
trying
to
to
come
up
with
concepts
for
accessory
dwelling
units,
encouraging
development
of
housing
in
compatible
mixed-use
neighborhoods
and
in
close
proximity
to
parks,
bicycle
and
pedestrian
facilities,
public
transit
schools
and
civic
uses.
You
know
areas
like
carolina
bay.
I
think
we've
worked
hard
to
to
have
that
full
mix.
Some
of
the
neighborhoods
on
john's
island
have
done
a
lot
more
in
that
context
and
james
island.
A
To
some
degree
we've
been
getting
that
done,
but
you
know
I
think,
that
code
enforcement
has
definitely
improved
with
our
livability
division
over
the
last
in
the
last
10
years.
But
you
know
definitely
more
money
would
help
in
that
area
to
get
even
more
done
for
encouraging
the
existing
housing
stock
support,
sustainable
housing
development
through
incentives
for
efficient
construction
practices
and
energy
efficient
buildings,
maybe
not
pulled
that
off
all
through
the
city,
but
in
the
upper
peninsula
area,
I.e
the
morrison
drive
upper
meeting
area,
we
created
the
whole
new
zoning
district.
A
That
is
very
incentive,
based
that
has
incentives
for
energy
efficiency
and
efficient
construction
practices
in
economic
development.
Shifting
gears
here
and-
and
I
should
ask
any
other
questions
or
comments
in
population
housing-
not
see
any
okay
in
economic
development
recommendations,
work
to
promote
and
improve
local
and
regional
infrastructure,
which
clearly,
we've
done
526
being
an
example.
The
bus,
rapid,
transit
being
an
example
attract
all
types
of
businesses
through
targeted
incentives.
We
haven't
really
developed
any
new
incentives
in
the
city,
so
I'm
not
still
an
area,
that's
lacking.
A
Some
of
it
is
that
our
state
or
the
way
our
state
is
organized
it's
tough
for
localities
to
do
that.
A
lot
of
that
comes
from
state
levels,
but
but
we
still
need
to
work
on
that,
provide
business
services
and
allocate
resources
to
supporting
and
promoting
small
and
local
business
development.
We've
done
that.
I
would
argue
that
probably
we
need
to
do
a
good
bit
more,
but
we
have
done
some
of
that.
As
we
have
analyzed
this
ourselves
implemented
targeted
job
and
work
centers.
A
We
definitely
have
done
that
through
the
plan
and
we've
seen
a
lot
of
those
have
new
jobs
created
in
them,
daniel
island
town
center
area.
Again,
civil
mall
potentially
has
some
new
stuff
coming.
Upper
peninsula
has
definitely
had
a
whole
lot
of
job
growth
over
the
last
10
years
to
continue
to
promote
and
grow
the
capacity
of
minority
and
women-owned
businesses
in
the
city,
and
we
have
a
person,
a
person
in
our
department,
who's
solely
focused
on
that
task
and
definitely
made
strides
in
that
direction.
A
I
think
we
still
have
a
ways
to
go,
but
we're
definitely
making
strides
and
focus
city
resources
and
public
finance
programs
on
revenue,
generators
and
economic
development
engines
to
some
degree
completed,
but
but
you
know
probably
a
little
bit
more.
Could
be
done
in
that
realm
comments
in
the
economic
economic
development
area,
okay,.
D
A
Excellent
excellent-
and
I
know
we
have
a
new
or
revitalized-
I
guess
central
business
district
committee
that
has
been
formed.
I
don't
know,
if
is
jacob
still
on
the
meaning
here,
if
jacob
wants
to
just
give
a
30
second
overview
on
that
jacob.
You
still
here
like
he
dropped
off,
okay,
but
but
that
has
come
back.
You
know
with
all
the
things
that
have
happened
with
king
street
over
the
last
six
months.
A
A
Our
preservation
staff
is
pretty
limited
and
I
think
we
need
to
get
more
funding
for
more
ability
to
undertake.
Such
efforts
encourage
public
and
private
investment.
Cultural
preservation,
development
and
diversity
haven't
really
done
anything
in
that
area
either
support
the
growth
and
development
charleston's
art
community.
The
city
has
done
work
to
create
the
new
canon
street
arts
center.
A
I
know
private
sector
we've
seen
that
the
new
redux
facility
there
also
have
been
other
art
programs
beyond
visual
art
and
and
and
performing
arts.
So
definitely
some
things
have
been
going
on
in
that
area
and
then
support
policies,
incentives
and
plans
to
encourage
and
stimulate
preservation
and
growth
of
cultural
resource
opportunities,
including
economy
for
heritage
tourism,
which
was
has
definitely
increased
thoughts
and
cultural
resources.
A
Okay,
natural
resource
recommendations,
ensure
land
development
regulations
adequately
protect
the
city's
farms.
Prime
soils
for
farming
natural
resources
in
rural
areas
again
very
general,
continue
to
support
the
use
of
urban
growth,
mandarin
green
belt
and
park
system
with
charleston
county
and
west
ashley
john's
island.
James
island
extended
the
ugb
and
green
belt
goals
to
include
city's
berkeley
county
boundary
at
francis
marion
national
forest
in
kenoi,
and
that
has
been
implemented
in
the
2010
plan.
A
A
A
Now
we're
requiring
two
feet
that
was
adopted
last
year
and
we
still
are
having
some
issues
in
that
area
and
need
to
broaden
that
greatly
adopt
storm
water
management,
best
management
practices
and
standards
that
are
light
on
the
land.
A
lot
of
this
is
in
the
new
stormwater
standards,
but
we
still
have
a
ways
to
go.
I
think
we'll
learn
a
lot
and
recommendations
from
wagner
ball
and
at
the
plan
recommending
even
more
in
areas
like
this
continue.
A
A
Okay-
oh
that's
right!
We
have
one
more
page.
How
can
I
have
forgotten
continue
to
play
an
active
role
in
promoting
sustainability
initiatives
within
municipal
operations
and
community
at
large
plans
and
education
programs
for
sustainability
and
sustainable
development,
et
cetera,
et
cetera?
So
we've
done
that
from
the
standpoint
that
we
have
devoted
staff
members,
a
former
planner
in
our
office
is
now
city's
sustainability.
A
A
I
encourage
small
and
large
landowners
to
manage
their
land
by
planting
a
native
plant
species
and
removal
invasive
we've
not
done
that
promotes
sustainability.
The
support
for
local
agricultural
animal
husbandry
have
not
done
that
and
inventory
and
document
unique
and
sensitive
natural
resources
have
not
done
that
either
all
right
other
natural
resource
thoughts,
okay,
all
right
urban
growth
recommendations
more
into
the
thick
of
the
plan.
Here
I
support
charleston
county's
comprehensive
plan
as
a
designation
of
urban
growth
boundary
protecting
rural
areas,
and
we
definitely
have
done
that.
A
A
Ensure
city
land
development
regulations
encourage
compact
development
patterns
that
minimize
consumption
of
land.
We
have
definitely
worked
on
that
such
things
as
our
cluster
ordinance
or
our
new
conservation
ordinance
have
definitely
been
in
that
area.
Taylor
ordinances
to
complement
the
way
of
life
in
rural
areas
of
the
city.
A
and
then
ensure
landis
regulations
allow
urban
agriculture
as
an
alternative
land
use
for
non-contaminated
vacant
properties
have
not
done
that
more
urban
growth
recommendations,
draft
a
plan
within
18
months
for
management
of
growth
and
development
on
kenoi
peninsula
and
be
completely
through
the
process
in
three
years.
Well,
we
did
not
implement
that.
A
I
know
a
lot
of
people.
You
know,
look
at
tdrs
as
a
really.
You
know
a
way
to
fix
a
lot
of
the
the
suburban
sprawl
issues,
but
as
we've
looked
at
those
in
the
charleston
region,
in
the
context
of
city
of
charleston,
other
jurisdictions
like
charleston,
county,
north
city
of
north
charleston,
there's
so
much
existing
density
in
the
areas
that
you
would
transfer
into.
A
There
may
not
be
enough
of
an
incentive
to
go
from
the
the
sending
areas
where
you
want
lower
density
to
the
receiving
areas,
and
we
can
certainly
get
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
about
that.
If
you
all
have
questions,
but
I
will
say
that
we
have
definitely
considered
transfer
development
rights
program
and
considered
it
too
costly
and
problematic
to
be
a
real
solution
for
our
our
region.
A
Okay,
all
right,
neighborhood
recommendations
engage
existing
neighborhoods
in
more
detail
design
studies
to
examine
specifically
how
growth
can
improve
quality
of
life.
I
think
we
definitely
have
a
robust
dialogue
with
our
existing
neighborhoods
and
I
think
that
we
have
done
some
urban
design
studies
in
areas
where
we
feel
like
there's
a
neighborhood
threat.
We
probably
need
to
do
a
little
bit
more,
but
in
general
I
think
we
feel
like
we
are
working
on
that
with
our
civic
design
center
and
also
with
our
strong
relationship.
A
We
have
with
our
recognized
city
neighborhoods
that
our
neighborhood
services
coordinator
handles
provides
land
development
regulations
to
focus
on
compatible
mix
of
building
types.
Buildings
must
reflect
rather
than
be
foreign
to
the
neighborhood
scale
in
general,
that
happens
in
our
bar
and
drb
jurisdiction.
There
could
be
instances
with
you
know,
incompatible
zoning
in
other
areas
of
the
city
that
that's
not
as
prevalent,
but
but
in
general,
we
think
we've
been
doing
that
revised
land
management
regulations
to
allow
for
sustainable
urban
farming
and
small
animal
husbandry
have
not
worked
in
that
area
at
all.
A
Permit
a
variety
of
housing,
services,
workplaces
and
civic
institutions
and
neighborhood
settings
tried
to
locate
such
a
mix
of
uses
within
a
five-minute
walk
of
any
residence,
and
that
has
been
a
strong
emphasis,
as
we
have
looked
at.
The
developments
that
are
reviewed
over
the
last
10
years
have
been
reviewed
over
the
last
10
years,
trying
to
diversify
where,
where
those
locations
are
concentrate,
higher
density
housing
within
a
5-7,
walk
of
transit
stops.
A
Try
to
do
that
in
areas
that
have
maybe
somewhat
limited
transit
to
improve
the
level
of
transit.
We
definitely
have
done
a
good
bit
of
that
in
the
king
meeting
morrison
drive
area
which
have
some
of
the
best
transit
in
the
city,
but
I
have
not
had
as
much
success
in
areas
like
maybank,
highway
or
folly.
A
Road
accommodate
full
spectrum
of
housing
for
all
neighborhoods
by
permitting
a
range
of
building
types
compatible
with
the
neighborhood
setting
they've
done
that
some
in
newer
neighborhoods,
but
not
on
an
infill
scale,
as
we
would
have
liked
provide
larger
district
parks,
50
plus
acres
for
active
and
passive
use
within
safe
biking,
distance
of
all
residents
of
the
city.
That
has
not
happened.
A
The
only
new
park
and
it's
not
a
city
park
that
has
been
developed.
That's
of
this
size
in
the
last
10
years
is
the
I
believe,
the
asham
park
that
is
next
to
charlestown
landing,
I'm
drawing
a
blank
on
its
name,
but
but
the
prc
has
handled
that,
but
it
doesn't
have
the
active
use
that
I
think
people
might
want
to
see.
A
But
it
does
have
passive
uses,
provide
neighborhood
parks
within
a
10-minute,
walk
of
all
homes,
work
with
neighborhood
councils
to
find
locations
in
existing
neighborhoods
and
require
new
neighborhoods
to
be
designed
with
usable
parks.
We
try
to
get
something
even
if
it's
an
hoa
area
in
our
newly
planned
neighborhoods,
it's
tough
to
have
neighborhoods.
A
Have
we
don't
have
money
available
to
create
a
city
park
in
you
know
most
neighborhoods,
but
at
least
we
can
be
looking
at
the
locations
that
the
hoa
has
available
to
them
too.
I
believe
we
have
a
few
more
neighborhood
recommendations
here
again.
Expand
park
connections
like
greenways
and
bikeways
by
seeking
partnerships
with
utility
providers
for
use
of
utility
corridors
and
expanded
use
of
unused
railcars
definitely
have
been
doing
that
and
adding
to
our
bikeway
system
providing
community
agriculture
opportunities
within
a
10-minute.
A
Walk
of
all
homes
have
done
a
little
bit
of
that
new
west
ashley
farmers
market,
but
well,
actually,
and
and
thinking
about
the
community
gardens
excuse
me
and
at
magnolia
and
downtown
and
on
james
island.
Some
of
you
all
know
a
little
bit
more
about
that
than
I
do,
and
I'm
looking
at
you,
mr
lissane,
but
provide
a
productive
environment
for
a
view
of
our
new
development
projects
that
include
citizen
involvement
early
in
the
process.
We've
been
getting
better
at
that,
but
we
definitely
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do
there.
G
A
I
don't
know
if
we'll
be
using
that
term
into
the
future,
since
it
got
such
a
bad
image,
but
from
the
standpoint
of
working
with
surrounding
neighborhoods,
creating
appropriate
area
plans
and
zoning
for
gathering
place
locations
around
the
city
and
new
mixed
use,
walkable
centers.
Of
course
there
was
the
gathering
place
that
was
planned
in
the
mid
2000s
from
I
guess
it
was
2004
or
so
for
the
maybank
and
folly
road
corridor.
A
Of
the
revitalization
of
some
things
along
maybank
highway,
so
we
do
have
one
of
the
most
walkable
areas
on
james
island,
but
I
would
hazard
a
guess
that
a
lot
of
people
on
james
island
are
not
happy
with
how
that
one
has
turned
out,
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
concern
about
the
density
there.
However,
we
do
have
more
people
who
can
walk
to
more
things
there
than
we've
ever
had
before.
We
need
to
do
more
work
with
sidewalks.
A
We
need
to
do
more
work
with
the
character
of
maybach
highway,
but
but
I
think
progress
has
been
made
there
west.
Actually
circle
progress
is
being
made.
We've
got
the
first
housing
going
into
the
areas
around
west
ashley
circle.
I'm
sure
that
plans
for
gathering
places
are
as
transit
friendly
as
possible,
still
working
to
get
better
mass
transit
to
that
one
along
maybank
highway
on
at
folly,
road.
A
It
has
some
limited
bus
access,
focused
city
development
efforts
and
all
these
sites,
including
possible
public
participation
and
infrastructure
incentives
to
make
them
as
economically
feasible
as
possible
to
a
degree
we've
done
that.
But
I
would
probably
be
harsher
on
this
and
say
that
we
don't
get
a
full
check
mark
on
that
one,
but
anyway,
moving
on
other
thoughts,
thoughts
on
gathering
places,
I'm
doing
a
lot
of
talking
here,
you
know
nobody's
thinking,
keep
going
keep
going.
A
This
is
one
of
the
ones
that
I
know
you
all
some
definite
thoughts
in
the
community.
Okay,
move
on
existing
traffic
patterns
and
recommendations,
so
we're
enhancing
the
city's
network
with
road
improvements,
coordinate
with
scdot
and
chats
in
charleston
berkeley
county
has
definitely
been
moving
forward.
A
We've
talked
about
it
for
upper
meeting
street
beyond
mount
pleasant
street,
but
haven't
gotten
there
yet
interested
in
thoughts
on
things
like
that
and
happy
to
explain
road
diets
more.
If
you
all
want
monitor
routes
with
increasing
traffic
load
for
enhanced
transit
routes
and
possible
physical
improvements
definitely
been
doing
that,
and
of
course
we
have
our
citywide
transportation
plan
that
was
adopted.
A
I
guess
two
to
three
years
ago
too,
so
making
progress
there,
okay
street
recommendations,
there
was
a
whole
lot
about
streets
in
this
plan
and
and
don't
know
if
we're
going
to
go
into
this
deep
detail
in
our
new
plan,
because
it's
not
one
of
the
areas
of
key
emphasis.
But
we've
got
a
number
of
things
in
this
plan
that
we're
just
going
to
kind
of
go
through
here.
Real
quick
design,
new
streets
improve
existing
streets
to
accommodate,
walking,
bicycling
vehicular
travel.
A
I
think
we've
got
more
bike
lanes
than
we've
ever
had
more
sidewalks,
but
still
have
so
much
to
do
to
get
it
to
all
areas.
All
neighborhoods
adopt
the
new
draft
street
standards.
We
have
not
done
that.
In
fact,
I'm
not
even
sure
where
that
draft
of
street
standards
is
so
we
need
more
work
on
that.
Don't
know
if
anybody
from
charleston
moves
is
on
our
call
today,
but
I'm
sure
that
they
would
like
to
see
some
more
things
happen
in
that
area.
A
A
Investments
to
enhance
the
existing
transportation
network,
coordinate
with
the
dot
and
chance
they've
been
continuing
to
do
that
and
then
citywide
transportation
plan
does
that
prioritize
improvements,
existing
thoroughfares
and
bottlenecks
and
major
intersections
bridge
locations
and
have
been
doing
that
network
expansion
recommendations
ensure
that
all
neighborhood,
commercial
and
mixed
use
developments
are
fully
connected
on
all
sides,
and
we
have
definitely
been
doing
that.
I
think
some
developments,
maybe
carolina
bay
when
those
final
connections
get
open
and
suddenly
outside
neighbors
are
coming
through
their
neighborhood.
A
A
Nothing,
okay,
buy
compete,
mobility,
recommendations,
create
and
implement
street
standards,
and
city
policy
requires
every
street
to
be
built
as
a
complete
street,
including
bike
facilities
for
all
mobility
types.
So
I
might
argue-
and
this
is
one
that
I
kind
of
glossed
over
when
I
was
reviewing
this
so
I'll
point
that
out,
but
I
I
might
argue
that
we
probably
do
have
a
some
positive,
some
negative
on
this,
because
I
think
we
did
get
a
complete
street
policy
adopted
on
this.
A
Some
of
my
staff
would
know
better,
I
think,
but
keith
has
gotten
that
adopted,
implement
the
routes
and
improvements
shown
on
the
attached
pedestrian
bike
plan
maps
using
a
set
of
new
street
standards
again
better
in
the
way
of
bike
routes,
but
still
not
everywhere.
We
need
to
be
enhance
and
update
the
proposed
and
planned
network
shown
on
our
company
maps
as
funds
permit
keep
working
on
that,
but
still
limited
funds.
I
don't
know
if
the
funding
levels
have
increased
any
over
the
last
10
years.
A
Work
with
the
city's
bike
and
pedestrian
committee
and
community
to
encourage
and
facilitate
multiple
modes
in
every
way
possible
bike
share
has
been
a
huge
advance
over
the
last
10
years.
So
that's
been
a
good
one.
Getting
the
ashley
river
bridge
funded
with
the
federal
grant
that
will
let
the
greenway
connect
to
downtown
has
been
huge,
ensure
that
the
city's
pedestrian
amenities
accommodate
all
users,
regardless
of
disability,
always
doing
that.
A
Mr
pullman,
I
know
watches
over
that
one
carefully
and
mr
lissane
and
the
parks
conservancy
have
been
very
involved
in
that
too
construct
the
bicycle.
Pedestrian
lane
for
national
bridge
is
already
mentioned,
establish
an
agreement
with
local
utilities
for
use
of
utility
corridors.
I
know
we've
got
a
couple
of
those
done,
but
we
have
many
more
cars
to
go
and
then
seek
funding,
support,
aforementioned
recommendations,
improvements,
charleston
moves
has
been
very
good
advocate
from
that
standpoint.
A
A
We're
closed
with
cars,
to
identify
optimal
transit
routes
and
we're
continuously
working
with
them.
Our
tnt
folks
continuously
are
discussing
that
with
them,
promote
walkable,
neighborhoods
and
developments
appropriate
densities
to
support
key
transit
again.
The
density
word
a
lot
of
folks
don't
like
greater
density
on
some
of
our
key
corridors,
but
getting
the
density
on
the
key
corridors
helps
us
get
it
linked
with
transit
faster
than
anything
else.
A
We
can
do
continue
to
protect,
protect
the
railroad,
railroad,
right-of-way
running
the
length
of
peninsula
and
connecting
downtown
with
northwestern
somerville
for
huge
as
a
future
transit
carter.
Well,
we
got
the
low
line.
It's
going
to
be
a
bike
bed
facility.
It's
not
really
going
to
be
a
transit
carter,
necessarily,
although
you've
got
transom
either
sign
on
king
street
meeting
street,
but
we
have
protected
that
railroad
corridor.
A
Adequate
public
facility
standards
consistent
with
service
standards
throughout
the
city
have
not
done
that.
Some
of
this
gets
beyond
what
the
planning
department
can
do,
but
we
can
definitely
recommend
some
of
these
things
continue
to
focus
city's
annexation
efforts
in
urban
and
suburban
areas
within
the
urban
growth
boundary.
We
definitely
do
that.
We
do
not
annex
outside
their
growth,
boundary
and
provision
of
municipal
services
and
facilities
in
rural,
suburban
urban
areas.
A
We
do
that
to
a
great
extent,
but
better
city
services
always
are
you
know
something
that
we're
working
towards
implement
impact
fees
for
environmental
services
and
public
safety.
So
I
should
point
out
here
that
this
is
also
something
we've
studied
a
lot
over
the
last
10
years.
Impact
fees
are
incredibly
difficult
to
implement
in
south
carolina,
and
you
know,
mount
pleasant
is
one
of
the
few
cities
in
south
carolina's
that
been
able
to
implement
them
very
effectively
and
they
were
so
effective
in
mount
pleasant
that
the
state
changed.
A
The
laws
for
impact
fees
after
mount
pleasant
and
a
few
jurisdictions
completed
them
and
they've
made
it
much
harder
to
implement
them.
So
we
are
not
super
confident
that
impact
fees
are
going
to
be
a
good
funding
source
for
us.
Unless
there's
there
are
changes
made
at
the
state
level
and
how
you
implement
them,
because
they
have
just
become
so
complicated
and
you
also
cannot
use
them
for
things
that
are
already
in
capital,
improvement
programs
and
almost
everything
that
you
all
might
think
of
that
you
might
like
to
see
an
impact
fee
pay
for.
A
If
it's
shown
up
in
a
capital
improvement
plan,
then
you
can't
use
an
impact
fee
to
pay
for
it.
It's
crazy.
It's
like
you,
have
to
start
over
with
impact
fees
and
start
with
a
whole
new
list
of
projects,
and
that's
one
of
the
ways.
It's
just
super
super
complicated
and
sorry
to
dwell
on
that
so
much.
But
it's
a
very
frustrating
thing
for
us
providing
an
annual
report
on
development
impact
fee
funds
and
purchases
again
aren't
doing
that
because
we
aren't
purchasing
things
that
way.
A
Identify
sources
of
fund
that
can
be
used
to
offset
costs
associated
with
waiving
impact
fees
for
affordable
housing,
limited
success
on
that
reevaluate,
existing
impact
feed
products,
its
expiration
have
not
done
that.
In
fact,
impact
fees
went
away
the
limited
ones
we
had
we
had
them
for.
I
believe
they
were
for
garbage
vehicles
and
public
service
vehicles
and
fire
vehicles,
and
I
think
we
might
have
been
able
to
fund
purchase
of
one
or
two.
A
This
is
in
the
2000s
and
I
don't
remember
the
year
that
went
that
they
went
away,
but
this
is
not
happening
anymore,
so
research
and
evaluate
other
city
services
that
may
need
additional
funding
due
to
growth
and
analyze
existing
city
revenue
streams.
So
one
thing
we
have
done
in
this
area
number:
nine
that
we
do
think
we've
got
a
lot
of
potential
for
and
we'll
be
bringing
some
things
through.
A
You
all
in
the
future
is
a
municipal
improvement
district
and
we
think
that
john's
island
is
a
very
fertile
area
for
a
municipal
improvement
district
that
would
put
extra
fees
on
new
residents
going
in
there,
but
they
would
not
apply
to
existing
residents
and
the
new
fees
could
go
to
transportation
improvements,
drainage
improvements,
park,
improvements,
things
like
that
and
we're
looking
given
the
number
of
approved
units
coming
on
john's
island.
We
think
we
could
have
a
successful
municipal
improvement
district
out
there.
Of
course,
long
savannah
has
its
own
internal
municipal
improvement
district.
A
H
I'm
curious
if
we
put
those
that
list
of
recommendations
to
the
public,
what
kind
of
input
we
would
get,
not
that
they
would
understand
everything,
but
the
the
recommendations
have
been
evaluated
by
people
that
are
intimately
involved
in
all
the
details,
and
sometimes
the
public
doesn't
really
know.
There's
been
some
successes.
They
think
that
the
city
isn't
doing
anything.
So
I
just
wonder
what
have
we
have?
H
H
D
D
Obviously,
things
have
changed
since
then,
and
and
there
are
new
priorities
but
that's
to
be
expected.
I
I'm
like
miss
jacobs.
I
I'm
actually
impressed
with
the
amount
of
work
that
was
done
on
a
on
a
whole
host
issues.
Clearly,
transportation
was
a
big,
a
big
priority
and
I
think
a
lot
of
that
work
was
was
done
and
so
anyhow
I'm.
I
agree
with
with
miss
jacobs
that
getting
that
out
there
would
be
helpful.
I
think.
D
B
K
K
K
Hcf
has
been
advocating
that,
in
this
new
comprehensive
plan
that
it
should
be
driven
by
living
with
water,
the
specter
of
sea
level
rise
and
livability
for
citizens
and
all
the
planning
elements
should
use
those
as
guiding
principles.
We're
very
encouraged
by
the
unconventional
consultant
team
for
this
process,
particularly
the
housing
and
water
consultants.
K
We'd
encourage
the
commission
to
review
the
dutch
dialogue
charleston
final
report.
We
believe
that
those
recommendations
should
be
fully
incorporated
into
the
new
city
plan.
Those
recommendations
range
from
land
use
recommendations,
a
city-wide
water
plan,
study
areas
of
the
city,
with
very
specific
recommendations
for
each
of
those
study.
Areas
based
upon
their
distinct
water
features,
an
avoidance
of
fill
and
build
development.
K
Potential
adjustments
to
entitlement
and
encouragement,
incentives
for
on-site
water
storage
and
infiltration
hcf
is
looking
forward
to
being
a
collaborator
and
a
partner
and
a
resource
to
the
planning,
commission
and
city
staff
on
development
of
the
city
plan,
and
we
will
be
presenting
a
formalized
list
of
specific
recommendations
for
elements
of
the
plan.
We
are
mostly
focused
on
the
housing,
cultural
resources,
natural
resources
and
land
use
elements.
K
Lastly,
I
wanted
to
thank
the
commission
and
the
city
staff
for
your
commitment
to
resiliency
and
including
resiliency
as
its
own
element
in
the
plan,
accounting
for
flooding
and
high
water
and
increased
natural
hazards
that
our
city
is
facing.
We're
really
energized
by
the
inclusion
of
the
cell
as
an
element
in
the
plan
and
the
city
going
above
the
minimal
standards
required
by
the
state
and
the
enabling
act,
and
we
would
encourage
the
city,
the
commissioners
and
the
city
staff
to
look
at
the
resiliency
element
in
coordination
with
all
of
the
other
planning
elements.
D
Well,
thanks
very
much
mr
lay
and
I
and
I
think
your
your
comment
about
connecting
connecting
the
study
plan
to
other
special
plans,
special
area
plans
and
other
plans
have
been
done
recently
that
that
was
mentioned
earlier.
I
believe
mr
morgan
mentioned
that
as
a
priority
and-
and
I
think
that's
a
good
recommendation-
all
right
chloe
do
we
have
anybody
else.
D
C
A
The
informant
consultants,
okay,
that
we're
going
to
get
a
whole
lot
more
to
you
as
they
finish
their
work.
These
were
just
to
kind
of
give
you
all
a
sense
of
that
they're,
still
refining
a
lot
of
those
graphics,
so
that
will
be
coming
your
way
ultimately,
but
but
not
like
in
the
next
few
weeks,
but
we
could
definitely
get
the
presentation.
I
just
went
through
to
you
all
in
a
written
form.
If
you
would
like.
C
B
Yeah,
the
the
slides
that
christopher
just
went
over
absolutely,
I
think
what
with
the
with
the
data
slides,
because
that
is
still
sort
of
in
progress.
They
showed
them
to
give
you
a
sense
of
what
they
are
developing,
but
I
think
you
know
it's
it's
still
in
development,
it's
not
in
its
final
form,
and
so
I
think
it
might
be
too
too
early
to
be
sharing
those
out.
H
Oh,
I
I
understand
about
the
data
slides.
I
was
mainly
looking
at
that
evaluation
that
christopher
went
through,
and
you
know
like
the
the
weaknesses
and
the
lessons
learned,
those
slides
because
yeah
that
was
a
lot
to
take
in
and
you
know
as
we
go
through
community
engagement,
we
may
hear
some
things
that
we
can
just
highlight
on
those
that
we
can
bring
back.
As
like
we're
hearing
a
lot
of
comments
on
this
particular
subject.
You
know
I
mean
y'all
are
taking
those
in,
but
as
a
commissioner,
it's
always
good
to
hear
it
too.
D
All
right:
well,
thanks.
Everybody
appreciate
your
time
and
attention
thanks
to
the
staff
and
our
consultants
for
your
presentations,
and
we
will
see
y'all
at
our
next
meeting
chloe
I
do.
I
do
you
think,
maybe
sending
out
to
the
commission
once
again.
The
dates
for
the
special
meetings
related
to
the
comp
plan
would
be
helpful.
Just
so,
everybody's
got
them
on
the
calendar
for
the
right
day.
A
And
just
so
everybody
knows
so
so
your
next
regular
meeting
is
september.
16Th
that'll
be
at
five
o'clock
that
that's
wednesday
september
16th,
but
the
next
time
we
meet
on
the
comprehensive
plan
issues
will
be
at
three
o'clock
on
monday,
the
28th
and
we're
doing
these
and
generally
in
general,
on
monday
afternoons.
A
H
B
B
They
have
been
announced
and
they
are
friday

the
newsletter
in
the
hey
neighbor
newsletter
they
were
announced
and
then
this
the
newsletter
that
went
out
this
morning
for
the
city
plan.
They
were
also
announced
there.
So
it
is
for
wednesday
that
we're
only
going
to
do
one
day
morning
and
night,
water
labs,
wednesday
september
23rd,

because
we
have
louisiana
based
folks
on
that
team,
we're
moving
it
up
