TASK 4: ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT (MARCH - MAY 2009) Task 4 will be the culmination of all the tasks completed to date and will utilize the findings and results from our previous research and analysis, community vision and mission statement, and the goals, objectives and tactics created from the public meetings and interviews to produce the first draft of the Strategic Plan. The Administrative Draft is intended for internal review by the City, PEDC, and the Steering Committee. Consensus Planning will send the City, PEDC, and Steering Committee an administrative draft of the Strategic Plan for internal review only. Comments received from this draft Strategic Plan will be addressed prior to releasing the public review draft Strategic Plan produced under Task 5. The following are descriptions of each section to be covered in the Administrative Draft. Each section will include a set of goals, measurable objectives, and tactics that pertain to each section. The tactics created for each plan element will include a timeline and potential funding source. 4a. Existing Conditions and Trend Analysis This section will cover topics including the history of Paris, population and development trends, employment, housing, and other demographic and socioeconomic data researched under Task 2. The trend analysis will be framed in the context of an unplanned future for the City of Paris, without the adoption of a Strategic Plan. Resources for this information include the Bureau of Labor Statistics, US Census Bureau, and the ARKTEX Council of Governments. The recent growth trends in population and median household income levels will be analyzed and planned for accordingly. This section will also include a discussion of the unplanned future or the "trend analysis". This section will highlight the importance of planning and provide rationale for why this Strategic Plan is necessary and needs to be adopted and implemented. The final SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis will also be included in this section. Topics that may be included are quality of life, recreation, public safety, environment, economic development, public schools, etc. 4b. Land Use The Land Use section is intended to guide future land uses via a preferred land use scenario, infill development, policies, elimination of zoning conflicts, historic preservation, and identification of appropriate growth areas. Consensus Planning will utilize the windshield survey covered under Task 2, which will have noted existing land uses, incompatible land uses, new development, and areas that would be appropriate for new growth, and create two maps - existing land use and preferred future land use scenario. This section will also include goals, measurable objectives, and tactics related to land use. Consensus Planning will provide recommendations for incentives that the City can use to promote logical growth and identify potential locations for new development, including infill sites and redevelopment. -4- • ~00320 . . . . . . . . ..T. _ . . ~.__.....y.,,_.~T.
