FISCAL IMPACT: Using funds from the County RegionalEnhancement Contribution alleviates any impact on the County General Fund. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS: S: In 2001, the Board of Supervisors conditionally approved participation in a collaborative cities-county Smart Growth approach for 're-orienting; how growth is considered and planned throughout Contra Costa County. As part of that initiative,'the Board committed financial support to match contributions from participating cities to cover the staff and consultant casts for this effort. The Shaping the Future Smart Growth Program will include economic development, housing and traffic circulation as major components. The County Regional Enhancement Contribution established as part of the Development Agreement for Gale Ranch I in the Dougherty Valley is specifically intended to be used, at the Board 's discretion, to address transportation Improvements, assist with the provision of affordable housing and support economic development activities.

PIi EJECT SUMMARY AND DESCRIPTION Introduction and overview This is a proposal for the development of a future vision and growth management strategy for Contra Costa County. The;purpose of this plan is to establish i position from which Contra Costa County and its member cities can work toward comprehensive approaches to growth and change in the county. In this ptopgsal the vision's purpose wilt be outlined, along with its content,the process for developing it,and how the vision would be communicated. In examining other successful Vision Flans,where one.returns after 14'to 20 years and finds the,vision expressed in the plate a physical reality,certain common elements emerge. The first is a compelling vision,clearly communicated,that refects the local values of the community. The second is a pragmatic,realistic approach that builds this vision with marketable developments. The third is the development of civic symbols,such as plazas, parks,or a community structure,whose success comes to represent the success of the entire region. Finally,is a well-defined implementation strategy,,with tales and responstbitides clearly defined among a broad cross section of the community. Objectives and purpose The purpose of this project is to establish a position from:.which Contra Costa County and its member cities can work together toward comprehensive approaches to growth and change in the county. Targeting where and how growth should occur w l provide cities with tools necessary to preserve healthy,stable neighborhoods,revitalize ailing areas,and create quality neer neighborhoods and commercial areas. Another main purpose of the project will be to develop a sense of identity and self- awareness of the county and its mern€ier cities as a region. After;alt,the foundation of our nation was the realization that 13 former colonies would collectively benefit if they,in addition to functioning as individual states,also developed a representative federal government. Countywide !Visions Contra Costa:Shaping Our Future Detailed Scope of Work-December,10 2001 1 - In recent decades,growth plarnming in ge=manaoment faced the obstacles cif fractionadizatior and been subject to limited vision and scale, ehas been closely tied to local land use,tools such as the general plans that encourage change or establish predictabilityand thereby determine the gains and losses that come from land development. An additional obstacle that growth planning has struggled with is an emphasis on a local view without taking into account the regional and countywide possibilities. Cities and communities no longer function as entities unto themselves. They function as regions-- interdependent both socially and economically. Most people conduct their lives as regional citizens,living,working,and playing;in multiple communities with little regard to jurisdictional boundaries. The reality is that the form of metropolitan areas in the United States and the world is far beyond being shaped entirely by local government. Local Planning that is willing to expand its vision in order to address regional and county,issues places itself in a position to reap the many benefits of a cohesively integrated'community. The advantage of Contra Costa County,with its Policy Committee representing each of the member cities and the County Board of Supervisors,is the ability to transcend political bourndaries and to look at the Count,as it exists in actuality. Contra Costa Cournty is a large contiguous network of communities,functioning already in many gays as in entity and with a tremendous opportunity to develop a comprehensive,unifying vision into a successful reality. A compelling and successful countywide vision is one that captures the values of an area, correctly identifies the trends that will take the region away from those values,and suggests actions that will preserve the region's values. This proposal is to develop such a vision for the Contra Costa County community. {Organisational Structure A new organizational structure has been developed for the sole purpose of ministering the visi€ining projects The structure,described below can also be viewed in a graphic form after the following description. Leading this countywide project is the Policy Comtrtittee The Policy Committee will consist of representation from the elected leadership of Contra Costa County,with overall responsibility for the project. This group will have the ongoing role to communicate with one another across junsdietiorral acid regional bouadartes;with the broader elected leadership of the individual communities that their represent;and with Management Committee. The Policy Committee has delegated to the Public Manager's Association(PMA) the respon sibility for administering the:study."The PMA,in tum has created a Management Committee to oversee the project. There has also been created,an Oversight Committee with ten members as shown on the aforementioned organizational chart. These members are appointed by the Management Committee and are ratified by the Policy Committee. Three distinct groups have been formed to work on this project, The Management Convrnittee,consisting of six members,includes the County Administrator, four City Managers selected by the members of the Public Managers'Associatiorn,and the Executive Director of the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.Ibis group will provide technical Contra Costa.:Shaping Our Future' Detailed Scope of Work-December, 10 2001 - 2- and managerial support for the Policy Cornrt ittee,C Versight Committee,Prm ect Manaecr. and Project Consultant. Serves to more closely link the Policy Committee with the Oversight Committee on an ongoing basis. Working for the Management Committee are two additional entities. First,a project manager retained through the group funding,and second,the consultant team,headed by Fregonese Calthorpe Associates. Working with the Management Committee are the Oversight Committee and the Stakeholders Group. The Oversight Committee consists of 10 project stakeholder representatives appointed by the Management Committee'. The Oversight Committee serves the purpose of closely linking project stakeholders to the process on an;ongoing basis. 17leis process will require their active communication with the constituencies that they,represent during the course of the project.

With existing conditions and trends documented,the team will work.with the county's.residents to begin testing:possible future scenarios. The project in will:use several methods of public outreach,-ranging from general.,circulation newsletters and an Internet website to'hands on'map-exercise workshops. Following the combination of analysis and public communication,an imp ementation strategy will be developed,targeting desirable and practicable solutions. Comotunity. Participation. One of the keys in developing a successful planning project is to identify and capture,a commonly held vision of f6ture. Ibis vision must be logical and resonate with the Public at laige. While the solutions may bec:ornplex,the basic Conceptual format of the , : vision must beeasy ocoimm.cate,and on Sense"se. accessibihity. In up )ad44 a vision for g.county the cities must go beyond the tradidonatmethods and reach out to It broad poptila; ti,both talking to them incl listening' to their c ncerns. The yision:,mus.t:be able to be,communicated and easily ternembered. 'Phis reqUires an innovative and broad-reaching strategy. Many public involvement efforts aim only at the fairly well informed stakeholders and involve,only those Citizens who are witting tet attend a.mceting. Although this,is an important Component of any citizen involvement strategy,cont atrating,oristakeholders alonCtx- d s,more than.990 of the population. The vast majority of peo.plc simply urill, not take the time out of a busy khedule:to attend meeting if they do attchd,they are tooshy to voice their thoughts The result is that policy makers often get a distorted view of public opinion. The danger of this is that a few motivated individuals can appear to commiand broad public support by motivating an additional dozen,people to consistently attend and speak at meetings often unintentionally overshadowing the general public's opinion. In part due to rapid growth in the,listfew years,there is a large population within Contra Costa County that is both unaware of recent plan in&,endeavots and whose opinions are as of yetunknown. It is vital that addition-A.approaches are utilized to contact and involve this segment of the population. Contra Costa:Shaping Our future Detailed Scope of Work-December,10 2001 - 5 - ........... ............- T��� i'dien The public can be categorized into three audiences. The first audience,the Stakeholders,can be relied on to comprehend a complexincssage,read documents,come to meetings,and personally,invest hours on a topic. The second group,Interested Citizens,usually compromises about 3011/6 of a population. These are people who are actively;interested in growth management issues. They follow stories in the paper,read special newsletters sent to them on the subject,and respond to questionnaires. They force sophisticated opinions about growth management issues. While they do not typically leave their homes to attend a rnee:ting, they are the opinion leaders withintheir social groups on issues of growth' management. The third groin,the General Public,only becomes aware of the most controversial and visible growth management issues. They hold relatively rudimentary opinions on growth issues,and do not respond to mailers and questioiutaires. However, they farm the majority of the body politic,and their opinions and attitudes will often hold the key-to successful visions and:plans. Wn Vr� mmunicnte A successful communication program has cormmuication strategies that reach out to all three grow as. Worksh.0 . V hearings,arnd doc�ccner is are ways to comtrtunicate with the stakeholders and active citizens,th sewho:-wit attend a meeting of some kind. Our proposal also liar strategies to conarnurnicate with the 99°!0 of the population that do not attend any meetings. For Interested Citizens,there will be bright,lively newsletters and web sites,which allow there tea both read and resptand to inforrmation. The General Public will be engaged through a press strategy Haat will keep the planning process in the public's view. As important as€nethods of communication areways to listen or receive input from the public. In addition to the traditional methods of public.hearings,workshops,and it€fornmal meetings,the protect will have methods to receive opi'. frann both the Interested Citizens and the General Public. Interested citizens will wait bads shOple questionnaires,alrnost always adding a comment or two and will genet^ally includetheir address. Questionnaires not onlygather data,but also build a mail reg list database of these active citizens that can be used for later,cost effective communication. Plat the General Public,the project will utilize scientifcc methods to survey, avid gauge theft attitudes,perceptions,and uncover.issues that are important to the overall papulation. This approach to.a communication strategy allows a solution to be crafted that can be both bold and politically viable. Approach Surnmary Contra Costa:Shaping Our Future Detailed Scope of W k-December, 10'2001 -G- The approach to the work is fairly straightfortivard and inclusive: It includes a scientific, technical analysis of options,but also inctudes a mare subjective,human evaluation: The goal is not to develop a plan for the County,or even to develop a sink solution,but to examine ways that the current growth trends in the County can be directed to a sustainable, livable future. The basin steps are: U Ana ysis' It is not possible to examine options without a realistic assessment of where the County is;today. The analysis will examine the essential elements for a successful project: land use,growth and reuse capacity,traffic and transportation,economic conditions and forces,environmental resources and public opinions and values a Modeling While a one-time snapshot of the County will be useful,we believe in developing modeling systems that support decision-making. The analysis will be used tonot onty'understand the current situation,but to understand the relationship between the various forces that shape growth in the County. The project will develop land use models based on the current County and city GI5 systems,employ reuse and capacity models,:as well as utilize and enhance the County's transportation models. While modeling is a powerful tool for understanding options,it should support,but not dominate the decision-making system. Cotnrnon sense plays an important role' in understanding the dynamics of a diverse county such as Contra Costa. One of the goals will be to coordinate this effort with the ABAG project that will be cotemporaneous. Efforts are underway to cboidinate the two projects and facilitate the transition from the verb large-scall regioriat vision to amore counitp?frsed project that the Contra Costa Vision represents, f7 Visioning One of the key components in successful projects is the use of a visioning workshop by a broad group of stakeholders.The workshops should be reality based--they use maps that accurately represent the current physical form of the area,and the workshop process simulates the real tradeoffs that must be made as an area grows and changes. However,they should be simple enough that people can use their intuition to examine navel ideas. The process is both a source of innovative ideas, and it reveals where:a community has reached consensus on certain issues. It also is an educational,and in some cases,:an eye-opening experience for the participants. The project includes 5 sub-regional workshops,followed by a countywide workshop to create a selection of alternatives to test and evaluate. Ll Testing and Evaluation The workshop provides an environment where intuitions can be Freely employed and evaluation performed through an obitctive set ref kriteria gathered fro tn state of the art modeling,allowing fora pragmatic approach to developing a countywide strategy. Contra Costa:"Shaping Jur Future Detailed Scope of Work- Uecerriber, 10 2001 7- The land use tr nspc>rtation,anci economic M, e s ll be used to evaluate several options,including the PLACOS software that will be used in the concurrent ABAG process. !j Small Area Worksbops Often,changes in an area as large and diverse as Contra Costa Countycan be made by changes in development patterns that are small scale in nature. Meuse,higher densities,and mixed use can all he used to great advantage if widely adapted and locally supported. However,people need to understand how these policies will affect their neighborhood. 'Therefore a series of small area workshops are included to examine the most controversial ideas that need to be!tested. . L Communication with community leaders and the public One of the keys to an effective regional stud} is having the results accessible and approachable to both highly involved individuals and the general public. Toe results will be communicated in a variety of fauns,and will eacou rage public interaction and involvement through a variety of forms.The input at this time in theprojectwin help reach a consensus,with confidence that the results'will be accepted by the County's citizens and leaders p Selecting a Preferred Alternative Following the completion of visioning,evaluation,and testing of ideas in detailed workshops,the task returns to selecting a preferred path. An additiortal workshop; with the Stakeholder Group winbe used in order to reevaluate and weigh the results of the public input,and develop a consensus strategy for the Contra Costa Growth Management Vision L7 Implementation This step is a key to success. While it cannot be predicted what will be the right solution f«•or this project,it will likely include legislative tools,cooperative compacts, educational and incentive tools,and a hast of other techniques. The best implementation package will be strategic,focusing ern the changes necessary;to achieve the greatest result. While implementation through changes in planning and development laws may be part of the solution,changes should also consider include voluntary;actions,education,investment strategies,and local support' U Creating momentum to affect change Finally,this process will strive to achieve results. The project should create momentum through the support generated and the compelling nature of its work. The"band agoh"effect is very important;in planning If a body of people, especially opinion leaders,begins to talk about a plan,and if sigrtiftcant activities occur regarding the vision developtrient,rrtany other people will begin to pay attention and try to become involved.
