Senator Bennett moved the following amendment:

3

     Senate Amendment (with directory and title amendments)

4

     Between line(s) 690 and 691,

5

insert:

6

     (15)

7

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

8

local governments as Urban Placemaking Initiative Pilot Projects.

9

The purpose of the pilot project program is to assist local

10

communities with redevelopment of primarily single-use suburban

11

areas that surround strategic corridors and crossroads, and to

12

create livable, sustainable communities that have a sense of

13

place. Pilot communities must have a county population of at

14

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

15

the pilot project, and have appropriate potential redevelopment

16

areas suitable for the pilot project. Recognizing that both the

17

form of existing development patterns and strict application of

18

transportation concurrency requirements create obstacles to such

19

redevelopment, the pilot project program shall further the

20

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

21

communities that integrate all modes of transportation. The pilot

22

project program shall provide an alternative regulatory framework

23

that allows for the creation of a multimodal concurrency district

24

that over the planning time period allows pilot project

25

communities to incrementally realize the goals of the

26

redevelopment area by guiding redevelopment of parcels and

27

cultivating multimodal development in targeted transitional

28

suburban areas. The Department of Transportation shall provide

29

technical support to the state land planning agency and the

30

department and the agency shall provide technical assistance to

31

the local governments in the implementation of the pilot

32

projects.

33

     1. Each pilot project community shall adopt criteria for

34

designating specific urban placemaking redevelopment areas and

35

general location maps in the future land use element of its

36

comprehensive plan. Such redevelopment areas must be within an

37

adopted urban service boundary or functional equivalent. Each

38

pilot project community shall also adopt comprehensive plan

39

amendments that set forth criteria for the development of the

40

urban placemaking areas that contain land use and transportation

41

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

42

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

43

shall undertake a process of public engagement to coordinate

44

community vision, citizen interest, and development goals for

45

developments within the urban placemaking redevelopment areas.

46

     2. Each pilot project community may assign transportation

47

concurrency or trip generation credits and impact fee exemptions

48

or reductions and establish concurrency exceptions for

49

developments that meet the adopted comprehensive plan criteria

50

for urban placemaking redevelopment areas.
