     Senate Amendment (with directory and title amendments)

5

     Between lines 391 and 392,

6

insert:

7

     (15)

8

     (f) The state land planning agency may designate up to five

9

local governments as Urban Placemaking Initiative Pilot Projects.

10

The purpose of the pilot project program is to assist local

11

communities with redevelopment of primarily single-use suburban

12

areas that surround strategic corridors and crossroads, and to

13

create livable, sustainable communities that have a sense of

14

place. Pilot communities must have a county population of at

15

least 350,000, be able to demonstrate an ability to administer

16

the pilot project, and have appropriate potential redevelopment

17

areas suitable for the pilot project. Recognizing that both the

18

form of existing development patterns and strict application of

19

transportation concurrency requirements create obstacles to such

20

redevelopment, the pilot project program shall further the

21

ability of such communities to cultivate mixed-use and form-based

22

communities that integrate all modes of transportation. The pilot

23

project program shall provide an alternative regulatory framework

24

that allows for the creation of a multimodal concurrency district

25

that over the planning time period allows pilot project

26

communities to incrementally realize the goals of the

27

redevelopment area by guiding redevelopment of parcels and

28

cultivating multimodal development in targeted transitional

29

suburban areas. The Department of Transportation shall provide

30

technical support to the state land planning agency and the

31

department and the agency shall provide technical assistance to

32

the local governments in the implementation of the pilot

33

projects.

34

     1. Each pilot project community shall adopt criteria for

35

designating specific urban placemaking redevelopment areas and

36

general location maps in the future land use element of its

37

comprehensive plan. Such redevelopment areas must be within an

38

adopted urban service boundary or functional equivalent. Each

39

pilot project community shall also adopt comprehensive plan

40

amendments that set forth criteria for the development of the

41

urban placemaking areas that contain land use and transportation

42

strategies, including, but not limited to, the community design

43

elements set forth in paragraph (b). A pilot project community

44

shall undertake a process of public engagement to coordinate

45

community vision, citizen interest, and development goals for

46

developments within the urban placemaking redevelopment areas.

47

     2. Each pilot project community may assign transportation

48

concurrency or trip generation credits and impact fee exemptions

49

or reductions and establish concurrency exceptions for

50

developments that meet the adopted comprehensive plan criteria

51

for urban placemaking redevelopment areas.
