SUMMARY:City Planner Book Club Meet Up (CM 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Our planning careers are pivoted on building communities\, both physically and socially. But what about building literary communities? The premise of the CPBC is simple. Every three months\, APA-NJ and APA-NYM will choose a different book for membership to read. Our current selection is Crabgrass Frontiers: The Suburbanization of the United States. On the third month of these quarterly cycles\, the chapters will organize an in-person meet-up to discuss the featured book at length. Between the time of introduction and meeting-up\, CPBC members are encouraged to participate in an online forum to share their ideas in real-time. Our September 2012 meet-up will be held in Jersey City’s The Merchant Bar and Restaurant from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. \nRSVP with APA-NJ PDO Christopher Brown at PDO@njplanning.org.

SUMMARY:Community Leadership Institute
DESCRIPTION:The Community Leadership Institute\, a two day program focused on strategies to address vacant problem properties and revitalizing communities. The Institute is structured to be a low-cost\, relatively small gathering where we can have in-depth discussions that prepare participants to return to their locales armed with perspective needed to address the considerable challenges we face. We have a full and intensive schedule planned\, going beyond exploration of causes to discussing solutions-from the overarching tasks of community planning to the important details of how to create a land bank\, hot to get control of a property and\, just as important\, hot to change the local and state laws that impede community control of vacant properties. The curriculum includes both updates from NJ cities\, as well as highlights and progress around the country. \nCost:  $100 by Aug. 31. $125 after that. Includes all materials\, breakfast and lunch both days and reception on Sept. 27. \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Re-stitching the urban environment: The Columbus Urban Commercial Overlay (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Columbus Planning Division staff will provide an overview of the Urban Commercial Overlay (UCO)\, a highly successful zoning tool that requires a walkable built environment reflecting the development pattern of late 19th and early 20th century commercial corridors. Since it was established in 1999\, a broad array of pedestrian-friendly development has been constructed\, including gasoline stations and a major grocery store. The UCO applies design standards that address the location and design of new buildings (and additions to existing buildings)\, parking lot placement and related development standards without requiring mandatory design review. \n Click Here to Register

SUMMARY:Cars\, Streets and Policy in 2035 (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:The Car Future Group will conduct an interactive session about how trends in vehicle design and technology will play out on the roadways and policy context of the future. We will present important information about the future of cars design: Shape\, weight\, size\, fuel types and degrees of automation. We will then discuss the future of our infrastructure and how the new vehicles will be used\, exploring issues such as roadway and lane design\, pricing\, insurance and public policy. The audience will see that we are facing a future characterized by opposing trends\, and not monolithic solutions. The next part of our presentation will be a discussion where participants will be asked to discuss their own examples and case-studies. We will allow time for discussion and conversation about the design-logic of the car industry and other aspects of our research. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Green Building & Environmental Sustainability Element Tool (CM |1.5)
DESCRIPTION:The Green Building and Environmental Sustainability Element (GBESE) is an adopted element of the Municipal Master Plan. In August 2008\, the NJ Municipal Land Use Law was amended to include the GBESE in the list of permitted Master Plan Elements. It describes the Element as the following: “A green buildings and environmental sustainability plan element\, which shall provide for\, encourage\, and promote the efficient use of natural resources and the installation and usage of renewable energy systems; consider the impact of buildings on the local\, regional and global environment; allow ecosystems to function naturally; conserve and reuse water; treat storm water on-site; and optimize climatic conditions through site orientation and design.” This webinar will address the creation and adoption of a GBESE which\, like all Master Plan Elements\, is intended to guide land-use decisions and provides the basis for ordinances addressing sustainability and land use issues. Representatives from the planning community\, including the acclaimed Sustainable JerseyTM certification program\, will discuss the program’s GBESE tool for certification\, how to introduce sustainability concepts into local planning documents\, and will highlight some examples from high performing sustainability plans. The APA-NJ’s Sustainability Committee will discuss another approach to developing sustainable master plan language by infusing sustainability concepts throughout each of the Master Plan’s traditional plan elements. And a planning practitioner will discuss the process for working with your town planning board to develop the appropriate sustainability language for your community’s GBESE. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Senior Mobility (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:As the nation’s aging population continues to grow\, communities are grappling with a range of planning issues to accommodate the expanding and diversifying needs of older adults. In study after study\, transportation ranks first among the concerns of older adults\, their caregivers\, and the institutions that support them. This webcast will examine several trends gaining traction with transit and paratransit agencies as well as with governmental agencies that focus on senior needs. Case studies will be presented from rural\, suburban\, and urban communities\, including one of the first suburban NORCs (naturally-occurring retirement community) in the nation. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Highway Bus Rapid Transit (CM |1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Bus Rapid Transit – or BRT – is bus service that includes enhanced travel ways\, stations and equipment. BRT offers passengers faster\, more reliable service than traditional bus service. It does so by providing more frequent service and reducing traffic delays by giving BRT vehicles priority over general traffic. This type of service can be implemented faster less expensively than rail transit while still offering many of the same attributes and benefits as rail transit. Because the public is relatively unfamiliar with BRT\, public education and marketing are very important to the success of this type of service. Early and frequent communication with transit users\, supporters and funders can help transit providers overcome stereotypes and misperceptions regarding bus usage\, speed and reliability that can hinder BRT or freeway BOS implementation. Freeway bus-on-shoulder is simply a technique to achieve transit priority on freeways. Just as bus rapid transit often includes running-way priority via dedicated lanes and signal priority\, bus-on-shoulder achieves priority by allowing bus operations on highway shoulders. Transit vehicles are allowed to travel on the shoulder when speeds decrease to a certain threshold on the mainline (typically 35 mph). Buses can then travel faster than the mainline traffic\, improving service reliability and making buses more competitive with personal automobiles. This increases ridership and builds and strengthens positive perceptions of bus transit and its provider. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:A Tale of Three Waterfronts  (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, the waterfronts of our port cities were the drivers of regional economic development. But as markets changed in the mid-Twentieth Century\, these areas in many cities became derelict eyesores\, economic black holes that sucked the energy out of these once-thriving urban centers. Over the past few decades\, however\, new approaches to the function and utility of urban waterfronts have given these districts a new vitality and vibrancy. This webinar will present the waterfront redevelopment stories of three small cities: Portland\, Maine; Portsmouth\, New Hampshire; and Burlington\, Vermont. It will highlight the economic\, social\, and environmental forces at play as these cities work to redefine themselves. \n Click here to register.

DESCRIPTION:APA Member Discount Code (10% off):  APA-NJDRMI2012 \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW \n\nAt the 2012 National Main Street Conference in Baltimore\, one of the highest-rated sessions that was so completely overfilled they had to literally bar the doors was Give your District New Life in Two Days for Less than $2\,000. \nWell\, we’ve taken that session and its presenters and expanded it for New Jersey in New Jersey at the upcoming DRMI in Atlantic City on July 25. \nThe APA-NJ is a key promotional partner for the event and as such 3.75 AICP CM Credits are offered for full day attendance. \nAgain\, this DRMI is all about making change happen NOW(!) as in over the next 3-12 months\, not making plans to do things later. It’s about doing things that may need some coordination and effort\, but not a ton of money. It’s about tangible and the visible changes for both your storefronts and merchandising and the district itself. You and your firma and organizations should receive a lot of great take-away’s from the entire day (including lunch)\, but any business and property owners you engage with should absolutely come for the morning session to walk out with actionable\, effective and affordable ideas for improving their storefronts\, inside and out! \nAnd since it’s in Atlantic City\, you always have the option to “Do AC” either the evening before or after or both\, depending on how you want to approach things. We hope to have a hotel deal through MSAC out to you shortly…stay tuned for that! Please share this with your organizations\, stakeholders and partners. We look forward to seeing you all there!

SUMMARY:Town Centers: their conditions to success\, economic opportunity\, and preferences toward inviting\, walkable places (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:The success of several town center developments during the late 1990’s/early 2000’s dispelled conventional wisdom regarding the superiority of enclosed suburban shopping malls\, demonstrating in economically measurable ways a preference by many toward open-air\, mixed-use\, pedestrian-oriented places with attractive public space. What followed was a frenzy of town center and lifestyle center development—including well-conceived projects and poorly-conceived ones—that thrived\, met expectations\, or failed. Dismissed by some as artificial urban replicas\, successful town centers nevertheless serve as value-adding catalysts for other land uses\, such as office and hotel\, and provide a model for a better-integration of uses than is found at conventional shopping centers and office parks. While typically found at suburban interchange locations\, town centers offer valuable lessons for existing retail districts; further\, town centers have\, in some instances\, been successfully integrated into urban environments. This session highlights many of the conditions (with emphasis on market analysis and urban design) that lead to viable town centers\, primarily through case study of town centers across the country. Case studies of public/private partnerships will also be provided. The success of the town center strategy\, which focuses on the creation of great places to create value premiums\, has broad implications for planning\, since it has provided market validation of a number of planning and urban design principles. That these successes have occurred\, often in the absence of regional policies that support placemaking\, could point to a broader cultural shift and future support for place-friendly policies. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Embracing New Urbanism in Your Comprehensive Plan (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:For some time now\, many planners have struggled to demonstrate to the public how development that embraces new urbanist principles can benefit a community rather than increase traffic\, increase crime\, increase demand on services\, which is a common perception of new urbanism and all of which we as planners know to be typical planning myths. The purpose of this session is to present how many communities are rethinking their long-term development policies that may once have embraced low-density\, suburban development to incorporate more new urbanism principles such as a focus on infill development over greenfield development; a desire to create walkable neighborhoods with access to local businesses; and an understanding that high-density development is not the “plague” on society that some of the public may once have believed. This change in policy direction is often the direct result of a comprehensive planning effort that strives to engage the public in a transparent\, open dialogue with a strong educational component on the benefits of new urbanism. This webcast will look at how a number of communities have succeeded in shifting their development policies to embrace new urbanism through the comprehensive planning process. The intent of this session is to outline how the comprehensive planning process is an ideal setting to introduce\, educate\, or reevaluate the incorporation of new urbanism principles in the future development and redevelopment of a community. Participants should be able to gain further insight on how best to engage and educate the public about new urbanism principles; to be careful in the format of the public participation (e.g.\, not misusing images or graphics to sway support\, utilizing appropriate information and data\, etc.)\, and to consider the various avenues of implementation (e.g.\, form-based code\, development incentives\, PUDs\, etc.). \nClick here to register.
