01 SCHEDULEProject Updates


01 SC2 - RECAPProject Overview

What did we do last time?• Reviewed public engagement

results

• Land Use and housing conditions

• Discussed top priorities


• Identify/grow the downtown

• Bicycle and pedestrian connections

• Rehabilitate/redevelop existing properties

• Marketing and communications strategy

• Bolster city identity including in the public realm

01 SC2 - PLAN PRIORITIESProject Overview

• Improve existing housing stock (especially multifamily)

• Decrease traffic/congestion

• Attract younger families

• Enhance parks and connect them to neighborhoods


• KF1 - Residents place a high priority on revitalizing the downtown area as a community space for gathering, entertainment, and dining.

• KF2 - The City lacks a distinct identity. Many desire Vandalia to be welcoming, family oriented, and a place that embraces it's unique history and characteristics.

• KF3 - People value the existing park and community buildings but would like better connections between them.

• KF4 - Providing housing choice within the community, especially for aging adult and young adult populations, is desired.

• KF5 - While Vandalia's location increases accessibility for residents and businesses, it can bring increased crime and traffic as well.

KEY FINDINGSPublic Engagement

With a stable population and limited areas for development, future growth and development decisions should carefully consider demographic and lifestyle shifts which will impact recruitment and retention of residents.


HOUSING02

• Greater Dayton Premier Management (Montgomery County Housing Authority)

• Three programs: Public housing (2,700 units countywide); Housing voucher (3,500 vouchers countywide); Homeownership assistance

• Affordable housing is not a regulatory issue, it is more an issue of need and land value

the past 12 monthsEnglewood - <1%

Huber Heights - 2.4%West Carrollton - 1.9%

Dayton - 5.2%Ohio - 3.1%

Vandalia has a proportional amount of households that receive public assistance compared to the region.


HOUSING02

PLAN INPUTS03

Belief Statements (supported by Actions)

Existing Conditions/ Best Practices Public Engagement Measures of Success


BELIEVE STATEMENTS - PARKS & PUBLIC SPACES EXAMPLE

03We believe:

-In creating a system of well-used and enjoyable parkland that is accessible to residents in all areas of the city.

-Civic buildings and public gathering places should be developed to define “places” and encourage social and economic investment.

-A range of parks and amenities (e.g tot-lots, community greens, ballfields and community gardens) should be available to all residents.

-Creating a signature public space as part of future downtown redevelopment is important.


MEASURES & ACTIONS03

Example Measure: 70% of housing units are within a 1/2 mile walk to a park.

Example actions: Identify neighborhoods that lack access to parks.

Assess potential pedestrian/bicycle connections to existing park spaces and neighborhoods.

Identify potential funding options for developing pedestrian and bicycle facilities to link parks spaces.

DISCUSSION


04 AUDIT THE BELIEF STATEMENTSGroup Discussion

• Break into small groups.

• Review and refine the belief statements for the elements you are assigned.

• Is there anything missing or that should be revised?


04 IDENTIFY THE FOCUS AREASGroup Discussion

• Consider public engagement, existing conditions, and your experience.

• Consider previous planning efforts.

• Consider what tools would be most helpful for the City to improve the focus areas

What 3 focus areas should be prioritized in the plan?
