“Going Places” Planning Process
3 Phase process with an estimated timeline of 4 years Phase I – Existing Condition Assessment: Physical and
Non-Physical Condition Evaluation (Est. 1.5 Yrs: July 2007 – December 2008)
Phase II – Future Landscape Exploration: Future Land Use Scenario Development and Assessment (Est. 2 Yrs: January 2009 – December 2010)
Phase III – Building a Clear and Shared Regional Growth Framework (Est. 6 months: January 2011 – June 2011)
Study Overview
To provide a comprehensive overview of Region’s landscape as a final portion of the physical condition evaluation of “Going Places: An Integrated Land Use Vision for the Miami Valley Region” Evaluate suitability of regional land for potential future
land development Examine existing use of land Identify developable land for potential future development
Study Area Greene, Miami and Montgomery counties and cities of
Carlisle, Franklin, and Springboro in Warren County
Regional Land Evaluation
Regional Land Evaluation was conducted by examining: Historical Land Development Pattern Land Suitability Land Development Condition Land Development Intensity
to identify the location and amount of developable land in the Region
Land Suitability
A comprehensive regional land suitability measure was developed by combining suitability measures from: Land Suitability Assessment – Natural Environment Factors Land Suitability Assessment – Built Environment Factors
Land Development Condition
Using 2007 Land Use/Land Cover data obtained from Greene, Miami, Montgomery, and Warren counties, land use information was reclassified into:
Undeveloped Fully Developed Partially Developed Protected
Land Development Intensity
Land Development Intensity was examined by using the Transect concept

Conclusion
Not all of our land is equal in terms of development potential – some areas are better suited for physical development than others
The study provides a comprehensive overview of the existing regional landscape and the quantity of developable land
However, a determination of how much land is really needed for future development will be only appropriate when the future land use demand is considered
The entire Region will benefit if development is planned and executed in a manner that takes full advantage of our existing infrastructure and not threatening the quality of our natural resources
