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.

SUMMARY:Utilizing LEED for Neighborhood Development to Strengthen Your Municipal Sustainability Efforts (CM |1.5)
DESCRIPTION:USGBC and the Land Use Law Center at Pace University have recently launched two new\, free resources to help municipalities utilize the LEED for Neighborhood Development rating system to support their sustainable planning goals. While certification under the rating system is often best suited to development projects\, many elements of the rating system can be utilized as an open-source tool to strengthen local government planning efforts. These two resources explore in great detail the ways in which the rating system can be utilized translating those into direct action for planners complete with numerous case study examples. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:What NOT to do: Lessons Learned from the Failure of Others (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:A wise person once said\, “Learn from others mistakes\, you can’t possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.” No one who has been a party to a failed development or was taken in by a fraudulent real estate scheme thought that the project would turn out badly for them or their municipality. Unfortunately\, in the world of economic development there are plenty of examples of poorly-designed projects\, terrible advice\, real estate fads\, and clear fraud. As planners and economic developers\, we have a duty to our clients to provide sound advice and analysis to protect the interest of the municipality\, and ultimately the taxpayers. In this webinar we examine a few failed projects that damaged the financial position of the municipality that undertook them and consider what lessons we can learn from these unfortunate situations. “The wise learn from other people’s mistakes and fools from their own.” –Old Proverb. “The way of fools seems right to them\, but the wise listen to advice.” –King Solomon\, Circa 950 A.D. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:New FCC Guidance Impacts Local Control of Wireless Facilities (CM Law |1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Recent federal legislation on collocations\, FCC non-binding guidance and now state level legislative proposals could dramatically impact your community’s planning authority and local zoning of wireless facilities towers. In this webinar\, BB&K telecommunications attorneys will provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities facing local governments as they attempt to protect local interests while complying with federal requirements governing zoning of wireless facilities and to defeat damaging state legislative proposals that are sweeping the nation. The webinar will cover: Federal laws on siting wireless facilities; as well as the newly passed collocation law; the FCC’s recent efforts to preempt and limit local governments’ zoning authority\, including the “shot clock” order; the FCC’s guidance about local authority over collocations\, including one interpretation that could greatly expand what facilities the telecommunications industry may add to existing towers\, poles and other platforms without any local oversight; what the guidance does not say about governments’ and special districts’ ownership of wireless communications facilities and their concerns for public safety and security; the FCC rulemaking\, expected to launch this summer\, which could transform this guidance into binding rules\, fashion new “shot clock” requirements and develop national model siting rules; the newest threats being seen in state legislatures to further undercut local government zoning authority under the guise of promoting public safety; and how local governments can positively influence and shape the rulemaking proceeding. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Land Use & Development Planning Near Transmission Pipelines (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is provided by the American Planning Association (APA) County Planning Division as part of the APA/Ohio State Planning Webcast Series. The National Association of Counties is a partner with the US DOT Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) to promote the recommended land use practices described in the Pipelines and Informed Planning Alliance (PIPA) Report: Partnering to Further Enhance Pipeline Safety in Communities Through Risk-Informed Land Use Planning: Final Report of Recommended Practices. \nMembers will learn the basics of energy pipeline operations and maintenance\, facilities\, and products transported. They will gain an understanding of the risks and benefits pipelines pose to the community. Members will learn the agencies that regulate pipelines at the Federal\, State and local level. They will learn the role that local governments can play in improving pipeline safety. Additionally they will learn risk based practices for land use and development planning near transmission pipelines. They will be provided with examples of good and poor development near pipelines and well as the location of additional technical information and financial resources to support their efforts to improve safety of the community and the built environment near pipelines. \nThe presentation will also provide information about Virginia Department of Emergency Management’s recent enhancement to the state Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) to address pipelines. Members will learn of resources for local governments to prepare for pipeline emergencies. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:The Changing Role of Public Housing Authorities in the Affordable Housing Delivery System (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Since the beginnings of the public housing program\, public housing authorities (PHAs) in the U.S. have transformed from entirely public endeavors-funded by the federal government – to agencies that must respond to market forces and that combine both public and private efforts. As the recession began\, PHAs were just beginning to experience the full effects of this transition. \n Using 13 cases studies of the largest PHAs in the Pacific Northwest Region\, this webinar outline what activities PHAs are undertaking in this devolved\, market-based context\, speculating about the future. PHAs make trade-offs among paths that emphasize agency survival\, producing more housing for the poorest households\, identification as a non-profit housing provider (rather than depending on HUD)\, poverty alleviation\, merging with another public agency\, or closing. This diversity of responses points to the under-valued attribute of public housing authorities as local organizations receiving diverse mandates from the federal government and as local housing providers. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:How Do We Measure Bike Share Success (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:As bike sharing systems are proliferating in cities across the US\, and early systems in Boston and Washington\, DC are coming of age\, we examine the different metrics on which bike share programs can be evaluated. What does bike share success mean? Financial self-sufficiency\, or even profitability? Improved mobility? Improved public health? Reduced GHG emissions? How can we measure the cultural impact of bike share? Or should we simply be concerned about operational success–keeping the trains running on time. \nObjectives: Participants will learn about the different methods of evaluating bike sharing systems\, and what each method can tell us. Analysis of the Hubway bike share system will be presented\, based on ridership\, survey\, and operational data. Participants will be encouraged to think critically about the goals of urban bike share programs\, and whether current systems are meeting those goals. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:MAPS: Oklahoma City’s Renaissance through Self-Investment and Economic Development (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Oklahoma City has set a standard for thriving communities by never slowing down its progress. Its reinvention is ongoing and gaining momentum with dozens of new investment projects either forthcoming or already being constructed. Since the creation of MAPS (Metropolitan Area Projects) in 1993\, over $5 billion in private investment has occurred in downtown\, with much more on the horizon. MAPS has made Oklahoma City a place where people want to live\, entrepreneurs want to do business and companies want to grow. \n MAPS 3 is a 10-year program designed to improve the quality of life in Oklahoma City through the construction of eight projects funded by a limited term\, one-cent sales tax initiative that began in April 2010. Russell Claus\, Director of Planning for the City of Oklahoma City\, and Cathy O’Connor\, President of The Alliance for Economic Development of Oklahoma City\, will discuss the history of the MAPS initiatives\, private investment that has occurred as a result\, and ongoing planning for leveraging private investment from MAPS 3 projects. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Child and Age Friendly Communities: Fostering Communities As If All People Mattered (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:An aging population and the ‘browning’ of America are creating demand for communities that are friendly to all generations and ethnicities. Multi-generational planning uses smart growth principles to create livable communities that deliver places that help young and old remain active\, connected and thriving in place. \nReal progress will occur with a paradigm shift if generations work together and cultural imperatives are addressed. This session will highlight both research and on-the-ground experience in multi-generational planning. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Copy Cats: How Plagiarism (and laziness) Is Discrediting The Urban Planning Profession (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Planning and plagiarism go hand in hand. We copy zoning codes\, plans\, and ideas from other towns and\, in the process\, we are responsible for killing any sense of identity in our own communities. This session is about gaining the self confidence to plan truly exceptional places. This session is sponsored by the Ohio State University. \n Click here to register.

SUMMARY:Does the New Normal Impact the Old Ethics? (CM Ethics | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Since the 2005 adoption of the AICP Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct\, the great recession has had a huge impact on the planning profession and the communities we work for. In the new normal\, budgets are tight\, economic development is scarce and new development projects are slow to arrive. New pressure from elected officials and city managers to reduce fees\, regulations and process to make it easier to attract development may or may not be consistent with the Principles espoused by the Code of Ethics\, much less the Rules of Conduct. This interactive session will engage participants in dialogue about the pressures we are facing in our jobs on a day to day basis and how to align our response with the AICP Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. \n Click here to register.

SUMMARY:Linking Airports to Transportation Planning (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:According to the FAA\, 98% of the population of the U.S. lives within 20 miles of a NPIAS airport. But despite this geographic distribution of air service\, air travel is rarely a standalone travel event and access to air transportation varies dramatically nationwide. Most air travelers rely on private automobiles as their primary mode of ground access to airports nationwide\, and only 35% of commercial service airports are served by public transportation. Only 27 of our nation’s busy airports are served rail service. \nThe proposed webinar will explore the connection between aviation and other travel modes\, and the challenges that airports and their communities face when integrating airports into regional transportation systems and nearby communities. We will provide background that transportation planners need to know when embarking on transportation planning or site development projects that involve direct or indirect connections with airports or federally obligated airport property. Specific topics to be covered during the seminar include: \n• Types of NPIAS Airports (Primary\, non-primary commercial service\, reliever airports\, and GA Airports) \n• Important services provided by airports to nearby communities\, and the role of surface transportation in supporting those services \n• Key considerations when planning transportation facilities near airports (landside and airside considerations). \nThe webinar will describe the physical constraints associated with development near airports\, such as the placement of roads and interchanges\, or other surface transportation in landside areas\, airspace considerations\, and security considerations associated with transportation/modal connections. We will also touch upon funding incentives (and disincentives) for bringing modal service to airports. We will discuss airports and travel trends\, and provide a brief intermodal forecast to identify the type of airports that are most likely to eligible for transit development. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Diverse\, or Not Diverse? That Is the Question...for the Planning Profession (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:In 2001\, Leonardo Vazquez\, Founder and Director of The National Consortium for Creative Placemaking\, authored and researched the report “Lagging Behind: Ethnic Diversity in the Planning Profession in the APA New York Metro Chapter Area – Findings and Recommendations” to better understand issues related to ethnic diversity and to gather suggestions for increasing diversity in the planning profession. Supplemented with insight and editing from Mitchell Silver\, APA President\, the report found that the planning profession is diversifying but at a much slower rate than the general population. This webinar will take a look back at this study and discuss to what extent the planning profession truly reflects the ethnic makeup of the communities that we serve. \nOne of the strategies for repairing this disparity is to actively expose and engage underrepresented populations in planning through various outreach techniques. Charles Brown\, Senior Researcher at the Voorhees Transportation Center will lead a discussion on the need to write more people of color into the world of cycling and providing underserved communities with active transportation choices. Karyn Williams\, co-founder of Velo City\, and Tiffany Robinson\, Chair of the APA-NJ’s Ethnic & Cultural Diversity Committee\, will discuss their experiences in teaching minority youth in underserved communities about the community planning process and empowering them with the skills needed to discuss urban issues. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Ethical Challenges for Planning Consultants (CM Ethics | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:Many ethical questions for planners frequently involve private practice: • As a planning consultant\, am I supposed to buy drinks for public sector planners who are clients and/or potential clients at a conference reception as part of marketing? • The retired city planning director accepts a job as a consultant with a private planning firm. His first project is to respond an RFP from his former employer. Is this a conflict? • A planning consulting firm frequently submits proposals using subconsultants who are specifically qualified for the work. When they get the contract\, they assign less qualified employees to the project. What are the ethical implications of this practice? This moderated panel discussion will examine situations common to private consultants (in contexts that also often include public sector planners) from a variety of perspectives\, taking into consideration several variables. Audience members will also be invited to submit their ethical questions electronically for the panel to discuss. This session will familiarize attendees with the standards of ethical behavior according to the AICP Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and the nuances of applying the Code appropriately and responsibly. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Reaching the Ones Who Don’t Show Up (CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:We all know that our usual public meetings aren’t attracting large portions of our populations\, and that many of the people we most want to hear from are more likely to use email and web sites than to show up for a council meeting. But with all the websites and whiz-bang online tools out there\, what should we be doing? We will explore several different online public participation techniques\, from surveying to idea prioritizing and ongoing project management. We will give a real-time demonstration of how several methods and online tools work\, and we will spend a little time with the developer of one of these tools to discuss the challenges and protections needed to foster effective online participation. The speakers will begin with an overview of the issues that often hinder public participation among certain segments of the population\, particularly younger and college-educated adults. We will examine typical internet usage among this population\, and draw correlations between the online tools that this segment of the population frequently uses and the potential for transferring these practices to meaningful online engagement in public participation. Beginning from that touch-point\, we will review several available tools for addressing specific public participation objectives in an online format. It is expected that new tools may become available between this writing and the session presentation; at this time the tools to be reviewed include: Public comment platforms\, including MindMixer\, Engaging Plans\, PlaceSpeak and others\, Photo-sharing sites such as Flickr\, Curated content methods\, such as Paper.ly\, and Ongoing program engagement tools\, such as Revitaliz. Each tool will be demonstrated live\, and its uses\, strengths and limitations will be outlined verbally and in a handout. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Planning for Fracking:  Booms\, Busts\, and Beyond (Ethics CM | 1.5)
DESCRIPTION:This webcast will provide planners and land use lawyers with everything they need to know about the “ins and outs” of the impacts of the booming natural gas industry’s activities on our communities. We start with an overview of the regulation of fracking activities\, including federal\, state\, and local regulations and the consideration of land rights. Then we address in detail the role of planners in jurisdictions where fracking is permitted or is being contemplated\, and how that role varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. You will find real “take-away” value in the practice tips about how to plan and regulate to avoid and minimize the impacts of fracking and to get the greatest public benefit from these economic activities. Local authority to regulate fracking varies from state to state\, so the panel will address state preemption and tell you what tools are commonly available to municipalities to regulate fracking\, even in states that have chosen to curtail local control. \nClick here to register.
