you've been involved with it throughout the way as well and through an initiative called plan this city we did receive significant public input obtained through stakeholder meetings also through Community forums through online opportunities as well and this helped the consultants and the staff craft a document that has clear goals and action strategies looking forward to the next 20 years now I mentioned South Carolina law a minute ago but to implement the plan for the requirements of chapter 29 of the South Carolina code of laws known as the local government comprehensive planning enabling Act of 1994 the Planning Commission must adopt a resolution recommending the plan to the city council and that resolution is included in your packet tonight as a reference refence but we're coming to you tonight recommending approval of a resolution that recommends you to um send to the city council the adoption of the 2025 city of Anderson comprehensive plan as I mentioned upon your adoption of this this will be forwarded to the city council for their consideration now tonight acts as a public hearing for this plan and also the city council will conduct a public hearing prior to their city council meeting on March 24th so that will be taking place as well but before we open it up for public comment I'd like to turn this over to John howel and Josh coun with how LaVine to go over the details they've helped us get to this point so they're going to go over the details of the plan right now I'll turn it over to them thank you thanks all right chairman and members of the plan commission and anybody who's uh in the audience behind me apologize for looking at my back but I've got it face this way so hopefully you can see everything on the screen uh again my name is John houseal with a planning firm of house LaVine uh we were selected

a couple of years ago to assist the city of Anderson with the development of its comprehensive plan so uh myself and Josh Coons who's sitting uh to to my left um is the project manager for this project and has worked most closely with the city uh every step along the way he's going to be walking through portions of this as as well uh but we're going to provide a brief overview of the plan the process where we are what's next uh just to get everything on the record and then once we've done that U Mr chairman we'll turn it over to you to facilitate Q&A or any questions anybody uh on the commission or in the audience might have so real quickly we're going to be going over the process uh update a review and discussion of the public draft of the plan and then what the next steps are uh the project status so far uh uh I know you all know but I'll say for the people in the audience just to sort of reiterate what a comprehensive plan is uh and what a comprehensive plan is intended to do uh a comprehensive plan is to help tell Anderson's story and to share the city's vision for the next 10 to 20 years uh it is to help the city evaluate and inform development proposals um uh if a developer were to come forward with something that the development team would like to do and they propose a development to the city uh the Planning Commission and the city council and City staff can look at this document to help make decisions it doesn't dictate what the city has to do but it helps inform and guide decisions and it also telegraphs to the development Community to Residents to businesses what the intent is or the vision is for the city going forward so everybody is sort of playing off the same uh uh document uh it is a foundation for regulatory framework uh planning is not zoning zoning is not planning the comprehensive plan this document does not dictate what you can and cannot do with your property that's zoning zoning regulates the use and development of land the comprehensive

plan does not regulate the use and development of land it is a guiding document to help inform decision-making uh and it sets the stage and sets the table for zoning but it in itself is not zoning uh it is to help coordinate with regional initiatives if your neighboring community of Clemson or the county or the state wishes to do something within or adjacent to erson you can say hey before we get into this project with you guys here's what we hope to accomplish over the next 10 to 20 years so it will allow you to better coordinate and represent the city's position when you work with others initiatives and that's very important it'll support CIP and budgeting CIP for those in the audience is capital Improvement programming or Capital Improvement planning uh streets infrastructure utilities water Wastewater detention facilities that's Capital Improvements it's the stuff that makes a city work and it has to go hand inhand with land use and hand inhand with development when the city budgets for CIP improvements when they program CIP improvements those are typically done on Five-Year increments uh and based on the priorities established in the plan it will allow the city and the city's departments to better plan and coordinate infrastructure investment over time uh it will help identify future studies some things are outside of the purview of the comprehensive plan the process may have undercovered things that the city would like to see done the residents would like to see done but that may require another effort or another initiative not as part of this study and it's meant to inform and educate the community on a variety of things it's about a 200 Page document there is a lot packed in here uh but it's a wealth of information on the city and what it hopes to achieve to reiterate some of the opening remarks uh every state in the country requires and allows comprehensive planning at the county and City level um every state handles it slightly

differently uh some states have different requirements than other states uh in South Carolina it's title 6 chapter 29 uh is the enabling legislation for comprehensive planning in the state of South Carolina and as stated by the state legislation it says this the basic planning process is to inventory uh existing conditions which was done establish a statement of needs and goals which is in the plan and the implementation strategies with time frames for how the plan can be unfolded over the next 10 to 20 years specifically in the state of South Carolina there are 10 elements that have to be included in the plan they are population and demographics land use housing Economic Development Transportation Community facilities natural resources resiliency cultural resources and priority investment uh some of these that are unique to South Carolina are our priority investment and resiliency uh other states have often uh times things like tourism or zoning uh plans or smart growth requirements um but every state is a little bit different but these are the 10 elements that are required in the state of South Carolina the process to undertake this uh again and for those in the audience uh planning process really has to do three things that's it you have to establish where the city is right now you have to establish where the city wants to go in the next 10 to 20 years and you need to identify what needs to be done to get there so where are we now where do we want to go what do we have to do to get there that's part of the planning process so the process to undertake and develop this was these three things uh project initiation was task one that was kickoff with city council staff the plan commission and residents our initial round of community engagement and interactive project website a series of interviews a series of workshops that have then taken place throughout every other subsequent step of the process a detailed analysis of

existing conditions The Good the Bad the Ugly zoning infrastructure land use um uh Community input Transportation uh parks in open space environmental features zoning we looked at all of it uh task four is that middle piece the where do we want to go and that was done by establishing a vision and goals and objectives and a preliminary framework for the rest of the document task five was sub areas or in this document we call them special plans or special areas a comprehensive plan is meant to address the entire city all areas of a city but within that it often identifies areas that are more susceptible to change or need more heightened level of attention uh and these are sub areas or special areas for this comprehensive plan we work with the city to identify four specific sub areas or special areas and Josh will go through those those have a heightened level of detail uh and planning uh uh attention given to those and there are four them in the city as part of this document uh task six is the core Citywide plans and policies that were Beyond land use and the sub areas so we'll get to those in a little bit and then task seven is pulling it all together to prepare the draft to go through public hearing process the final openhouse process and to get it adopted that's sort of where we are right now is Task seven but to finalize task 7 we're still doing parts of task two which is that engagement uh last night we had an open house we had several people attended at the economic development uh office just a couple blocks away from here uh we had an open house this morning from 10:00 to 2:00 for about 4 hours we had about 30 or 40 people come to B this morning uh we had another Roundtable discussion with the plan commission and city council earlier this afternoon and then this is the plan commission public hearing and as stated in the opening remarks the city council will also be conducting a public hearing and have at least two readings of this before any action is taken so the

community engagement uh is still part of the process right now the engagement that we had so far in the Outreach was pretty extensive we had over 700 points of Engagement uh with specific uh folks uh participating online we had a community survey that was available to everybody we also had an online mapping tool called map social where people could map comments across the city and tipe it back to a geographic point or a specific location within the City in-person activities either conducted by the consultant team or City staff or a combination include everything that's up here so city council Retreats leadership classes coas Club department heads meetings elected officials roundtables East West Parkway visioning Workshop focus group and stakeholder discussions Community visioning workshops business workshops military office association meeting Dream Team workshops uh um leadership teams with the Health Organization building your own business organization and there's a bunch more out there I'm not going to read them uh we also had Midtown and downtown Gateway sub area charettes uh and Community open houses so over the last two years um we have had throughout the process an extensive number of online and face-to-face large group small group and one-on-one workshops and engagements uh to make sure that people had the opportunity to let their voice be heard uh and the feedback throughout was really very uh extensive and very good we appreciate the time people took to participate uh so that was a little bit about the process a little bit about the plan itself again uh this is not regulatory this comprehensive plan does not dictate what you can and cannot do with your property it is not zoning um uh and the this is not uh necessarily identification of things that the city will do but is the policy under which the city will evolve over the next and grow over the next 10 to 20 years the best way to think of a comprehensive

plan for everybody in this room is that is a foundation for decision-making it doesn't dictate and tell you what you have to do but as cap improvements as roadway improvements as bike trails or bike lanes are considered as new parks are considered locations for new schools are considered uh strategies to invigorate Economic Development and Retail in the downtown to make sure you have enough housing and neighborhood revitalization for the next 10 to 20 years and for the Next Generation this document helps the city make decisions uh it's a foundation for future decisionmaking um doesn't dictate what those decisions are but it gives everybody a leg up on what the city is trying to achieve collectively over the next 20 years the outline of the document it's extensive uh it's a double-sided 400 page document uh it's been available online for over a month uh you can see a hard copy at City Hall if you want to swing by there and look at it as well um uh it contains these 12 sections introduction planning context vision and goals land use and development housing Andor neighborhoods Economic Development transportation and Mobility Community facilities and infrastructure parks open space and resiliency cultural resources and tourism the sub areas that I talked about there's four of them and then priority investment and implementation how we begin to get these things done uh and the timeline for some of those investment and actions so this is the layout of the 12 chapters of the document uh right now what we're going to be reviewing is all of them to get it on the record but some of the ones the city has seen maybe a little a little bit less of uh so far is the housing economic Transportation Community facilities Parks cultural resources and uh implementation uh the other five that are up there that are faded out uh we've had extensive workshops on uh feedback from to get those really dialed in that gave us the foundation to get at these other elements so we'll be going through all of these tonight uh but over the

last several days we've been focusing on these so what I'm going to do now is turn it over to Josh coun Josh was the Project Director he's our national uh practice lead for urban planning in the United States out of our firm uh he was the Project Director really sheering this through working closely with City staff uh the plan commission and city council and Josh is going to real quickly go through the different chapters of the document uh again thank you chairman and to the Planning Commission for having us tonight um one thing I will say is it's 140 pages so uh uh not 400 but um yeah so uh again like John said I'll be just running through the the different chapters of this document show you a little bit a little bit of an orientation to how it can be used how the chapters are structured um we start off right here with uh an introductory chapter this is contains the purpose of this document some of the things that we just went through the statutes that guide a document like this um the organization the planning process how we got here a short summary of The Outreach process that John just mentioned um and then as we get into chapter 2 you also will see the the planning context so uh things like um here's that Outreach and engagement snapshot uh a regional settings map where is uh the city physically located in the region what are some of the past plans and studies that are still pertinent to this um this current study that we reviewed and Incorporated along the way and then that population element that's required by state statute you'll find that in this introductory section to sort of set the stage for the planning process the where are we today part of this process um the vision and goals uh one of the things I like to point out is that really the vision statement that's sort of the loftiest and most aspirational part of this whole document

that's built on those 700 touch points of community outreach we had a lot of visioning exercises along the way here and we tried to distill that down into a a punchy two paragraph statement that really articulated uh if you were to sort of put yourself in 2045 what would we want to see in our community as a result of good planning and good policy um and I I often like to say you know if we stopped here you'd be asking how are we going to achieve this Vision what you know this sounds great everybody can get behind this and they should be able to but what are we going to do so again this is the aspirational center of the plan beneath that we have a series of goals that are actionable things that the city can work toward to start to achieve that vision and those align with those those uh chapters and those elements that are required by state statutes um at the center uh after the vision the center piece of the plan is the land use and development uh portion of the plan uh like John said any any comprehensive plan any state of the country is going to have a future land use component to it um where and how are we going to develop grow what's going to preserve and maintain where do we need to um uh Target reinvestment and Redevelopment where do we want to see our commercial areas or residential areas uh public and semi-public areas uh so sort of set the stage for this um we looked at a series of what we called land use influences so here in Anderson um you do have some land available within the municipal boundary the current Municipal boundary um to do infill Redevelopment there's some there's some vacant land there's some uh properties that are need in need of reinvestment so that's one of the influences you have room to develop within the municipal boundaries you also have a um a centerpiece of your city the urban core the downtown that's a big

land use influence not all communities have such a um a well-developed and well thought out downtown that can really be sort of the center part of the community and then there also are opportunities for outward growth Anderson is not is not landlocked like some communities in the country are so there are opportunities also to grow outward so as we put together the future land use map we took a look at these things you can see on the Le hand side of the screen here we did a um what we would call a vignette a smaller map of the downtown core identified some of those downtown um assets uh and showed how that Urban core is influencing land use planning we did a growth area fr framework so you can see on the right hand side we assigned uh short medium and long-term priorities to where the city may eventually grow um as uh development annexes and potentially comes into the city over the next couple of decades and then all of that sort of materializes into um the the centerpiece map of of the comprehensive plan which is the future land use map we articulate development for every parcel in the city um again this is a policy map so in in that buildout scenario what would residential commercial downtown um uh industrial public semi-public parks and open space utility what what would all that development look like where would it go where do we want to see it continue in the future or perhaps shift and change a little bit another one of the specifically required elements uh by State Statute the housing and neighborhoods uh chapter um this uh has each of these chapters will have some policy language so um this housing and neighborhood section is really getting at um sustainable and attractive neighborhoods uh how we're going to have the housing diversity and

attainability for the long term as people want to uh continue to move here put down Roots um age in place um phase out of their larger home into a smaller home as they retire where are the areas that are going to need reinvestment and infill um and there's policies and guidance and recommendations for each of those things pertaining to the city's housing and residential areas um there's a what we we would call a housing framework map here so uh on the overall future land use map we just have a couple land use categories here we sort of break them out into their more specific categories if you were to pick up a a comprehensive plan from several decades ago they probably would stop at the future land use map and um that can be a problem in a city like Anderson where you have single family neighborhoods in different parts of the community and if we just called it all single family uh from the bird's eyee future land use map view you wouldn't understand the nuances and differences between some of your core neighborhoods around your downtown that are on a traditional Street grid with smaller footprint homes and smaller Lots compared to your newer subdivisions up to the north so uh a map like this really helps to pull apart what those different are and what the different actions and strategies should be for your different neighborhoods it's a similar structure for the economic development chapter another chapter required by state statutes um this is all about promoting commercial development whether it's nodally or along key corridors reinvesting and revitalizing some of the established commercial areas again we're talking about downtown in this chapter as a commercial core for the city um economic and Workforce Development there's a lot of good initiatives here that are already happening that we tried to encapsulate in this chapter um so

again you can see some of the policy guidance uh case studies uh as examples for and how things can occur um I'll call your attention to the little diagram down here on the bottom left um when we have terms in this document like Outlaw development we like to explain those right on the page right in context with the uh language we like to to show a community specific diagram if we can to show what does that mean what does that mean specifically for Anderson so this shows what outlaw development if it were to occur could look like a long um Anderson mall for example and just illustrates that that planning concept right on the page with the direction from from the plan um we don't like to dive too deep into planning jargon again like John said and Maurice said this is a document that lives online it's a available to the whole Community we want people to be able to pick up and understand this without having a uh background in planning or land use law or anything like that so this is a public facing document similar to the Housing section um what was all read on the map previously here we break it into its sort of subcategories um so you can see things like neighborhood uh nodal commercial uh neighborhood Corridor along Main Street there Regional commercial what's the difference between these areas what's the character what are some of the things we need to do differently for regional commercial reinvestment and re revitalization versus uh revitalization along the city's key corridors for example we worked with um a national Transportation Planning firm tool design with local offices here in Spartanburg uh to really put together a transportation and Mobility section that is very specific to Anderson um their known tool is known known for their emphasis on complete streets and um working with all modes of transportation

whether you're somebody who's driving most of the time or you have to sometimes get out and walk or bike to get to where you need to go um so this this chapter is robust uh you'll see a deep dive into things like Ada accessibility safe routes to to school the the uh sidewalk Network on Street bikeways Trails and paths all is a part of the network of trans Transportation options within your community we have Maps like the one on the right that prioritize some of the potential projects that are coming online um we've referenced uh County documents and other ongoing plans to reflect what's really happening here in the community um bike and Trail facilities map uh existing proposed and planned uh Transit uh Network we uh show that here to um illustrate some of the transit policies and recommendations uh Freight and passenger uh and railand truck Freight and then again you can see here's an example of zooming in a little bit into um Downtown parking lot utilization um that's something that we are lucky enough to have tool to really get at some of the nuances that are facing Anderson uh the community facilities and infrastructure chapter um a lot of the recommendations here you'll see things things like um uh continue to do preserve maintain you want to continue to maintain your city-owned facilities you want to collaborate with your key Partners like your educational institutions um you want to continue to M maintain high levels of Public Safety um uh fire safety police uh police safety uh things like that so we inventory the community facilities and provide some recommendations for uh upkeeping and maintaining those key facilities and services

uh we also did a a Broadband inventory using um some national broadband data sets to show areas where that uh critical piece of infrastructure uh might be needed again if you were to pick up a comprehensive plan from an even a even a decade ago thinking of broadband as a critical piece of infrastructure might not be um in that document and more and more this is an important thing for of course any Resident in any community uh parks open space and resiliency resiliency is one of those ones that's unique to South Carolina uh so this uh chapter inventories the parks um we did a service area analysis and you can see from looking at it where some of the areas um uh did not receive Parks over the last several decades as development occurred so it shows where areas you know that could potentially be targeted for new parks um in the coming years um there is the resiliency component how does the city B bounce back from um uh serious uh flood fire events and what can the city do to work with the state on things like that and then another um one that is specific to South Carolina requirements the cultural resources and in this case we did tourism uh chapter um we're talking about things like your landscape of local events Anderson has a lot going on so this was a this was a fun interesting uh deep dive into What's Happening Here in the community and again you'll see recommendations like continue to to do the things that you're doing expand these events um the comprehensive plan is more comprehensive than ever we're not just looking at land uses but um how do we bring people to our downtown how do we get people here to enjoy Anderson um stay a little while spend their money and enjoy the things that we have to offer uh historic preservation is an

important part of this so these reflect the city's uh established historic districts uh in inventory of your current historic buildings um and some policy and recommendations for how to continue that and to expand it as as needed um John mentioned this a little bit we did do uh four detailed planning studies so up to this chapter we're pretty much looking at Citywide uh Citywide maps and policies and recommendations in the sub areas or special areas within this plan we're able to drill down a little bit more do some detailed planning um we're actually talking about um uh uh intersections intersection improvements potential um Street Crossings and for each of these um red Parcels that you see we did an illustrative model that showed what development could look like if this if this parcel were to develop it's not to say that um this is in a prescriptive or an architectural diagram or a site plan but this shows uh conceptually what perhaps development could look like on some key sites so we did uh a sub area plan for East West Parkway uh for North Midtown and again you can see there's the um red site where we did a little bit of a development concept up at the top right um Midtown South again we did a development concept for the red site and uniquely on this one we also showed what a streetscape reconfiguration could look like like um you know say couple years down the line SC do comes to the city and says you know it's time to rebuild Main Street um instead of reacting to whatever the the state DOT gives you you now have some diagrams that can show how could this street function a little better for our community and for the neighborhoods along it lastly the uh downtown Gateway same

same concept we dove in a little bit closer we did some detailed planning we showed where some key gateways might be some key sites how those could redevelop uh and finally the priority investment and implementation chapter one of the questions that often comes out of this is how are we going to get all this done this chapter is all about how to use the plan um what are some funding sources that the city can feasibly reach out to and um use to move the needle on some of this stuff um uh how are we going to use this document we pair this with an actionable an action Matrix that identifies it takes all the should statements of the plan all the recommendations it distills them down to their core actions assigns a priority a timeline or a time frame which is required by state statutes pairs it with a partner if appropriate so this really is the cliff notes for um when like John said when the city is doing its short-term planning at CIP um how are we going to get these things done each and every year and this can kind of act as a checklist for our progress on the comprehensive plan along the way next steps for the process again um we did have uh a couple of open houses uh today and last night um based on feedback from those from The Joint City Council and Planning Commission meeting just earlier earlier this afternoon any public comment that we hear tonight we'll we will go back and prepare a public adoption draft um for the next step which is adoption readings with City Council uh I do want to say thank you to the city of Anderson this has been a rewarding process we're proud of the work that we've done and it wouldn't have been possible without all the good feedback from the community and uh with a a close working relationship with City staff and elected and appointed officials so it has been uh a really good process and this document does

really reflect um what the city needs and we're excited to see where you all take it U once it's adopted so thank you thank you Josh uh now I'll just ask from the committee uh does anyone have any questions for either staff or Consultants Maurice where is this um located on the website is it easily found yes it's easily found it's on the front page of our website there's a banner scrolling across and you can easily click on that go to the planning section of the web page it's there as well okay all right uh we come to the uh public um comment section so what I would like to do is if there's anyone kind of have a direction on this uh anyone that has a concern or issues uh can step forward and then maybe some comments or support of the the plan and also anyone that's either neutral or any corrections that they might want to put into this that we can pass along to city council so having said that would anybody like to uh come forward with any concerns or issues yes step forward state your name and uh your address please my name and address yes yeah I am Ward Bowen I currently live at 102 mcel Farm Circle in Anderson South Carolina 29621 okay I am the current president of the homeowners association there and I uh I just learned about these plans this morning so I've been getting up to speed all day on this and I'd like to say that having been born and raised here in Anderson I'm really excited to see you know some of the Transformations that have gone on in downtown cuz growing up when I was a little kid we always went to Greenville everything's happened in Greenville to this day my wife still

likes to go to Falls Park when you want a really nice restaurant but I want to see more of that come to downtown Anderson and like the gentleman said there we want to find reasons to get people into the downtown and spend some money spend some time there I'd love nothing more than that but my primary concern would be on this document on page 103 along the East West Parkway and the intersection of Concord Road and East West Parkway it's kind of slated for commercial development and kind of talking to a lot of people out in my area everybody was under the impression that there was a promise made by County Council that all the development along the East West Parkway would always be residential only and there wouldn't be any further commercial development in that area so there's there's a lot of concern about this intersection in particular and I kind of think that Waters down plans cuz you want to get people into the downtown you don't want them just walking across their backyard to go to some little restaurant that's struggling to make it cuz I've seen so many restaurants here in Anderson just really struggle to make make it start up go out of business start up go out of business the restaurants we have here we're starting to get some really good restaurants in downtown I love to go to Doolittles J Peters all those places I want to see those places thriving to have a vibrant downtown and not water it down by adding some extra commercial development here and there so that's that's my primary concern okay thank you and like uh John said you know the the plan is not zoning so it is just kind of a future look at yes uh but that is uh we'll make sure that that's notated um I think morce you uh said that you would take notes and and pass that along

because this is a draft yes yes and I appreciate the opportunity to be here okay anything else on that that'll be it thank you Mr B anyone else with uh concerns issues uh yes sir step forward state your name and address please uh my name is Doug Wright I'm the uh CEO of Senior Solutions which is at uh 3420 Clemson Boulevard I just wanted to uh add the fact that in the transportation piece that um Senior Solutions and the um Electric City Transit are working to develop a hybrid system to um use use a microtransit system ra to connect to the fix route system that electric city has uh in the alphabet streets here in the city um we've done surveys in that area and it is considerably uh a transportation desert I guess is what the planners like to call it um there really isn't a lot of uh public transit that can work in that area the streets are narrow and small big buses can't get through it so we are working um with a Federal Transit Grant out of um University of Minnesota of all places and um we've developed a plan that we're hoping they're going to accept to uh try to do a pilot project there to help folks um particularly get to uh medical appointments grocery stores but and also for economic development into jobs um there's not a lot of opportunities for them uh especially second and third shift jobs to uh have public transportation so we just wanted to uh ask if that would could be part of the of the plan to the

city to consider so microt Transit you're talking about like more um but buses not buses but you know the Vans kind of right so um in theory a resident could make an appointment typically through an app um that would um uh schedule appointments uh for smaller buses from Senior Solutions to go get them and and to move them either to work or uh more importantly to the fixed route systems that you already have okay it's a great plan so that was part of chapter maybe an addition to chapter 7even the transportation okay thank you yeah thank you um anyone else with concerns issues would anyone have anything for comments of of support or anything else and then uh anyone who's neutral just wants to um either like Mr Wright said add to the um the current plan any drafts all right well then we will move forward for uh with discussion and voting on this um so John Josh I do have a question for you on what was just um talked about with that Transportation I I thought that was a great little um you know with the microtransit and you also talked about being able to get grants and things like that is that something that can be added to this document yeah and I'll let Jos speak we were just sideb barring about it we spoke with him and some other folks at the open house about this and spoken with two our transportation sub about this who's aware of it so I don't know if you want

to yeah I I would just say yeah very it it makes a lot of sense um we heard about it a little too late to get into this document but um that's definitely something we could like you said get into uh chapter 7 I think it is for sure all right well hearing that um do we want to uh have a motion on the resolution for adopting the city of Anderson comp of plan with the Amendments that were discussed tonight Mr seagar's uh moves for approval and we have second from Mr scur all in favor say I I any opposed all right so this will go in front of city council there they have two more readings on this as well so um and if we have nothing else to discussed tonight we will consider ourselves adjourned thank you [Music]
