Growth Strategy Mapping?

What do we mean by Growth Strategy Mapping?

• Reinforcing places that contribute to the village’s character

(Preservation)

• Highlighting places that may need some change (Retrofit)

• Targeting those places that are appropriate for growth (Growth)

For the purposes of this exercise we will be using Scale and Intensity as the

ScaleA description of the size and / or massing of a building. Examples of ways to quantify a building‘s scale are building height and square footage.

IntensityA description of the concentration and levels of uses and activity at a site or area.Factors that contribute to defining a location’s intensity are the number of people who live or visit the site on a daily basis or amount of vehicular or pedestrian activity associated with the site.

Areas of Retrofit

Areas of Growth

Highest levels of scale and intensity for the village (existing and future)

Areas of Growth

• Begin to evaluate current land use mix

• Align growth with planned and existing infrastructure

• Reinforce existing growth areas and potentially identify

new ones

Why again?

• Preservation, Growth, Retrofit = General categorizations

• Not parcel specific

• Not a new GP Land Use Category

• Tools for this exercise

• Don’t sweat the small the stuff
