SUMMARY:GIS in Transit Conference
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nManaging data to drive decision making has never been more important. As large data systems are capturing significant performance\, operational and planning data in the transit industry. These data can improve decision making\, service evaluation\, customer satisfaction\, operational efficiency and overall system performance. At the core of many of these data are spatial elements\, that describe the location of relevant transit data. Transit boardings\, customer location\, activity centers\, assets and transit service. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provides a unique platform for organizing\, evaluating and communicating data; transforming data into information. This conference will bring experts from around the country on how GIS is being used everyday to improve transit systems. The conference will provide a breadth of GIS experiences to showcase how agencies of all sizes and budgets are managing its GIS data and improving transit service and ultimately customer service.

SUMMARY:Webinar: How Effective Parking Management Helps Create More Livable Communities (CM | 1)
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nParking is a critical piece of a community’s infrastructure. It plays an important role in developing “mixed-use projects” and sustainable transportation. Parking also has a direct impact on the ability to create compact\, healthy communities. \nOverly restrictive parking requirements can thwart efforts to build walkable communities that require less parking. Too little parking can impact retailers and the financing of residential development. Ultimately\, decisions made about parking affect the livability of our communities. \nThis webinar will focus on the new “Effective Parking Management” action that seeks to help New Jersey municipalities “right-size” their parking. It highlights the importance of properly evaluating parking demand and then discusses strategies that municipalities may employ to address their specific parking needs. \nLearn about: \n\nStrategies that work to make existing parking more efficient\nStrategies that reduce future parking demand\nStrategies that enhance (or do not hinder) walkability\nThen hear from communities that have successfully utilized these strategies.\n\nSPEAKERS:\nTeri Jover\, Managing Director\, New Jersey Future \nJim Constantine\, Principal\, Looney Ricks Kiss \nCase Study: Metuchen

SUMMARY:Webinar: Reed v. Town of Gilbert: The Supreme Court's New Rules for Temporary -- and other -- Signs
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER\nThis webcast will discuss what local governments need to do to ensure that their sign codes comply with the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2015 decision in Reed v. Town of Gilbert. That decision established that any sign regulation that “on its face” requires a consideration of a sign’s content to determine how that sign will be regulated is “content-based” and subject to “strict scrutiny.” Many\, if not most\, sign codes contain such distinctions in the regulation of temporary signs; for example\, by treating “real estate” signs differently than “political” signs. After Reed\, such distinctions will be upheld only if local government can prove they serve a “compelling governmental interest” and are “narrowly-tailored” to achieve that interest. This session will provide guidance on: (1) when and how to replace content-based sign regulations with effective content-neutral sign regulations and (2) which content-based regulations should be retained and how to defend them if challenged. This session will also examine the recently completed study\, Best Practices When Regulating Temporary Signs\, by Wendy Moeller AICP.

SUMMARY:NJRA RTI: Comprehensive Real Estate Development Class & Tour - Trenton (Hospital Repurposed Redevelopment Project)
DESCRIPTION:Using a case study approach\, participants will learn the fundamentals of real estate development using actual development projects as a “backdrop” to the concepts\, applications and discussion about redevelopment. Leading community-based real estate developers will present case studies on some of their latest “crown jewels\,” highlighting their actual problems\, challenges and opportunities encountered with their development projects. Participants will have the opportunity to tour the development site and examine the overall structure of the development project\, focusing on the analyses behind the development and investment strategy employed. \nThe two-day course will provide participants with an insider’s look on how the project was conceptualized and developed. For each location\, consideration will be given to property and site analysis\, market conditions\, municipal approvals\, acquisition strategy\, construction or renovation costs\, economic viability\, and community and governmental relations. \nParticipants will be responsible for analyzing the project based on facts and opinions presented by the developer\, as well as evaluating the merits of a set of different alternatives. Participants can expect to learn new concepts\, funding programs\, development and leasing strategies\, contract negotiations and other aspects of redevelopment. Practical\, contemporary discussions on neighborhood characteristics\, demographics\, property acquisition\, municipal and redevelopment law\, community relationships\, politics and more will be discussed. Participants will also learn basic finance concepts and terminology such as net operating income (NOI)\, debt coverage ratio (DCR)\, and return on investment (ROI)\, and construct basic development budgets and operating pro formas to assess the economic viability of the projects. \nThis interdisciplinary case study approach will place each participant in an actual business environment\, by examining real situations and development projects. The course will be facilitated and taught by experienced real estate developers\, while the NJRA Redevelopment Training Institute Real Estate Development textbook will serve as a tool to supplement the lectures and discussions. By examining actual development projects\, participants can expect to gain a thorough understanding of the strategies and the details of a development project from beginning to end. \nFour classes have been planned using different types of real estate development projects.-Hospital Re-purposed Redevelopment Project-New Construction Municipal Redevelopment Project-Adaptive Reuse Project-New Construction Community Development Project \nThe key learning objectives are:-The determination and assessment of the primary factors affecting the feasibility and viability of a real estate development projects and how to minimize risks-Understanding of basic finance and real estate concepts and terminology-The resources and tools used to engage in the real estate development process \n-12 Continuing Legal Education Credits (CLE)-12 Certification Maintenance Credits (CM) through the American Planning Association

SUMMARY:Webcast: Reshoring - The Urgent Need to Bring Manufacturing Back to America
DESCRIPTION:Register \nAmerican companies’ are on a quest to Reshore production. According to a 2014 study\, 54% of US manufacturers over $1billion in revenue are considering Reshoring some or all of their manufacturing. Site evaluation and the correct site selection are critical to the success of these projects. Establishing manufacturing at the right site has an economic multiplier effect on communities. Manufacturing jobs pay well and workers use their wages to buy homes\, cars and other goods in the local community. Everybody wins. Reshoring is a very popular idea among businesses\, their customers and governments where jobs growth will have the most impact. But it’s not that simple. Reshoring requires a carefully crafted journey through innovation\, automation\, localization of products and site/community selection. You will learn about the major components in this decision and what you need to develop a business case to bring manufacturing back to specific communities. We will also learn about some reshoring failures\, where selecting the wrong site had devastating results.

SUMMARY:Webcast: Housing for People with Disabilities: A Civil Rights Lens
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThis presentation will discuss significant changes in housing for people with disabilities over the last several years. Enforcement of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Supreme Court’s decision in Olmstead v. L.C. – which requires public entities to offer their services to people with disabilities in “the integrated setting” – has led to statewide system reform of housing systems\, moving away from congregate disability-specific housing to expanding access to scattered-site supportive housing. Ms. Barkoff will discuss the requirements of the ADA and Olmstead and describe the housing provisions in recent Olmstead settlement agreements. The changing landscape of disability housing has also been impacted by changes in the disability service system\, including new requirements for settings in which publicly-funded community-based services can be provided. Ms. Barkoff will explain how these changes in the service system may lead to change in housing systems. Finally\, Mr. Frost will describe implementation of an Olmstead settlement agreement in his home state of New Hampshire. \nCM 1.5

SUMMARY:Webcast: Responding to the FCC New Collocation Rules – How to Avoid "Deemed Granted”
DESCRIPTION:Register \nThe FCC adopted new rules at its Oct. 17 meeting that are likely to require changes in the way local governments respond to applications for siting wireless towers\, and for adding antennas to\, and modifying\, existing structures. The rules could necessitate an immediate review and revision of wireless siting ordinances in many communities\, and have important implications for the way states and localities deal with siting of wireless facilities in historic districts and environmentally sensitive areas. The change in the rules may also affect the approach of public agencies\, schools\, special districts and local governments to leasing of their own property. \nCM 1.5

SUMMARY:Preservation New Jersey’s 2015 Resiliency Workshop Series: Going Up? Coastal Flood Mitigation
DESCRIPTION:Approved for 3.5 AICP CM Credits (#e.29851). Check-in 1-2 pm. Online registration (Eventbrite) at www.preservationnj.org \nOne of the great challenges of communities living on the New Jersey coast or along its some 18\,126 miles of rivers and streams is how to prepare for inevitable flooding. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requires that buildings be elevated\, moved out of a floodplain\, or acquired and demolished to comply with the new flood maps. The hope is that elevating will keep buildings out of the water\, but what do wholesale elevations do to a community? \n\nHow do you elevate buildings without adversefy affecting historic character?\nWhat do elevations do to a streetscape? What are the best design options?\nWhat happens to the residents who can’t afford to elevate or rebuild?\n\nThis workshop will take place at the historic Bay Head Yacht Club (listed on the State and National Registers)\, which was substantially damaged during Super Storm Sandy. It has since been elevated\, and many original historic features have been restored. The facility is not yet open to the public\, so this event offers a preview of the progress so far. \nSPEAKERS: \nJustin A.
