SUMMARY:Calculating Developer Contributions (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Public actions—such as investments in infrastructure and the provision of public services—can dramatically increase the dollar value of private land. While local governments seek to capture a portion of that value to address various needs\, planners often don’t know how to determine if a given request is reasonable. This session shows how to calculate the increase in value of private land due to public actions and develop a reasonable figure for developer contributions. This knowledge is particularly helpful to those working in urban design and preservation where much of what is achieved is through negotiating developer contributions. This session was first presented at the APA National Conference in Chicago in 2013. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Where The Boom Babies Grew Up - Post WWII era Suburban Tracts and Complexes (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:As we move toward more transit oriented development and work to retrofit our existing suburbs\, we search for opportunities to use existing infrastructure and land area efficiently. As we evaluate these opportunities\, it is important to fully understand the residential developments in these suburban areas of the post-WWII era — both lower density modest single-family house tracts and garden apartment complexes with acres of green space. Which of these – if any – are worth preserving intact …and why? And how might we make such qualitative judgments especially where redevelopment offers a way to provide more affordable housing? This concerns not only the physical features of these tracts and complexes but the associations some of them may have with significant people or events. We need to understand what tradeoffs are appropriate when hard decisions are being made about where retrofitting and redevelopment should occur. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Green Parking\, Sustainable Urban Mobility and Placemaking (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:86% of Americans drive to work (with an average trip distance of less than 20 miles)\, 75% drive alone\, and have done so pretty consistently over the past 25 years\, according to the US Census and the APA. We already paved paradise and put up a parking lot. In response\, the Green Parking Council (GPC at www.greenparkingcouncil.org) works to transform parking facilities and lots from the public face of a fossil-fueled\, congestion-producing culture to an enabler of sustainable urban mobility and an accelerator of neighborhood-scale sustainability. This webinar session will highlight trends in transport\, and explore sustainable mobility and solutions emerging from local and national partnerships. Successes around the country will be showcased\, and strategies noted that scale up the movement. GPC’s tools include: Energy efficient technologies; Hosting of bike-sharing\, car-sharing\, carpooling\, and mass-transit\, EV charging; Responsible storm water management\, Integration of intelligent transportation; Placemaking: parking assets right-sized\, as well-designed\, responsible neighbors; Resiliency: parking garages as energy storage and deployment centers in times of crisis; Green Garage Certification: a program inspiring parking assets to be a positive force in the built environment. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Success Stories in Sustainability:  The Common Ground Program (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:The Common Ground Program is a community gardening and urban agriculture program created by the city of Lawrence\, Kan. In the winter of 2011\, the city surveyed its vacant and underutilized properties\, identified appropriate sites for agriculture and made these sites available through an application process for citizens. During the 2012 growing season\, five pilot sites were opened to the public through partnerships with neighborhood associations\, nonprofit organizations and schools. The five sites include two neighborhood community gardens\, a youth-focused garden in a city park\, a community orchard for free picking\, and a market farm coordinated by college and middle school students. This webinar will provide an overview of the Common Ground Program\, an outline the goals of the project goals\, community benefits and lessons learned. The webinar will also provide insight on funding sources and potential partnerships that other communities or organizations may utilize in pursuing similar efforts. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Functional Classification: So Important That No One Wants to Talk About It (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Functional classification is a transportation topic that is often left for engineers to sort out\, but it has a huge impact on urban planning. Anyone involved in urban planning – including community stakeholders – should be part of the dialogue surrounding the function of public streets. Functional classification is a way that transportation professionals group streets according to the type of traffic they serve and the degree of access expected to adjacent land uses. Few transportation issues are as important as functional classification\, and yet it is one of the least understood or debated. Despite the Federal Highway Administration’s advocacy of flexible design standards\, typical practice in the United States has been very rigid\, leading to unintended negative consequences. For new urbanism\, that means streets that require almost highway speeds and lane widths—physical impacts that are contrary to the overall purpose of new urban planning. For example\, in some areas an Urban Principal Arterial might require a minimum 45 MPH design speed and minimum 12-foot wide lanes\, even if the surrounding land uses need more appropriate (i.e. livable\, sustainable) solutions. This webcast will incorporate very specific examples that are typical of public transportation networks throughout the United States. \n Click here to register.

SUMMARY:The State of Takings After Koontz (CM Law | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Last month\, the US Supreme Court handed down its decision in Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Management District. In this complex 5-4 decision\, the court ruled that monetary conditions attached to land use permits are now subject to the heightened scrutiny tests of nexus and rough proportionality found in Nollan and Dolan – and that these tests also apply to permit denials\, as was the case here. What does this important decision mean to planners? Depending on your point of view\, this ruling could be seen to “threaten the heartland of local land use regulation” (Justice Kagan’s dissent) or it could be viewed as a minor shift in law and practice. Because of the complexity and ambiguity of the court’s ruling\, it’s not perfectly clear. To help you understand what Koontz means\, join with two of the country’s leading experts in land use law: Professor John Echeverria of Vermont Law School and Dwight Merriam\, Esq.\, FAICP of Robinson & Cole LLP. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Getting Back to Business: Addressing the Needs of Rockaway Businesses Impacted by Superstorm Sandy (1.5 CM | Pending)
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, October 29\, 2012\, Superstorm Sandy struck New York City\, the most populous region in the United States. Sandy was the biggest Atlantic storm in history\, devastating homes and businesses across the Northeast\, and causing over $19 billion in damages in New York City alone. In response to this disaster\, the New York Metro Chapter of the APA undertook a six month effort to assess how Superstorm Sandy impacted businesses in Rockaway\, Queens\, a community uniquely situated on a narrow peninsula and one of the hardest-hit areas of New York City. A team of over 60 planners volunteered their services to assess needs\, identify resources\, and make recommendations for short- and long-term planning strategies that will help businesses recover and plan for the future. The APA team partnered with the Rockaway Development & Revitalization Corporation (RDRC)\, a community development corporation that provides business support in the Rockaways and has promoted economic development throughout the peninsula for over 30 years. When Sandy struck and displaced or damaged nearly 1\,000 businesses\, RDRC sprang into action. RDRC proved to be an invaluable partner and assisted the APA team visited approximately 300 businesses and conducted over 100 business interviews in 3 commercial corridors. The Chapter recently released a report documenting this process and lessons learned along the way in hopes that New York City’s experience can help other communities impacted by storms and other natural disasters. This webinar walks you through the process that the New York Metro Chapter team took to conduct its needs assessment and develop meaningful recommendations for strong planning. \n Click here to register.

SUMMARY:Multimodal Way Finding (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:New York is known the world over as a city of walkers and straphangers\, not to mention one of the most popular tourist destinations anywhere with five very distinct boroughs\, clashing street configurations\, and a variety of naming and numbering conventions. Despite huge volumes of residents and visitors walking and using transit\, most existing on-street directional information is aimed at drivers. To fill this gap the New York City Department of Transportation chose an international design consortium known as PentaCityGroup (PCG) in 2011 to develop a standardized\, map-based\, citywide Pedestrian Wayfinding System. PCG is comprised of wayfinding specialists CityID\, industrial designers Billings Jackson Design\, graphic designers Pentagram\, cartographers and map database developers T-Kartor\, and engineers and urban designers the RBA Group. The first phase of the program is rolling out this summer with additional phases and program expansion in the works. This webinar will introduce participants to the basics of wayfinding with a focus on the system design and program development in NYC. There will be a Q & A session at the end of the webinar. \nClick here to register.
