Neighborhood Plans
Neighborhood Planning
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood Plans | Seek to improve a neighborhood both physically and economically. In comparison to local comprehensive planning, neighborhood planning addresses a more specific region and has more detailed policies and objectives. Often in response to a specific issue. |
| Neighborhood Organization | |
| Face-Block | The smallest level of a neighborhood organization. Consists of all dwellings and structures facing each other along both sides of the same street, and ends where that street is intersected by another street. Small scale changes and individual participatio |
| Residential Neighborhood | Medium level of a neighborhood. May incorporate some type of government representation and public participation technique. Planning at this level addresses face-blocks, parks, civic spaces, comm centers, transportation access, and quality of life issues. |
| Institutional Neighborhood | Largest level. Has official boundaries and status w/in city. Requires use of formalized citizen participation. Planning at this level addresses residential neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, gov agencies, comm development orgs and financial institutions |
| Types of Neighborhood Boundaries | |
| Recognized Boundaries | Identified by people living in the neighborhood, and are often used to define the residential level of neighborhood org. By participating in government social and admin objectives, residents can raise awareness for cause and rep to the larger community |
| Administrative and political boundaries | Mark larger areas. Admin bounds seldom match political bounds, and neither is helpful in determining social characteristics that define neighborhoods. Admin and political boundaries are only useful for enacting changes on a sector or institutional basis |
| Created boundaries | Often define the institutional level of neighborhood organization (official). Result in a lack of popular representation in government. Consequently, planners should work to create a governing body that more accurately reps the hood to the larger comm. |
| Neighborhood Centers (criteria) | Center of comm focus; ensure market demand - 1 mile btw centers; center on the intstion of collectors w/ major arterials as bounds; 1/4 mile walking distance from core (btw 40-60 blocks); range of housing types/densities btw 3,000-4,000 residents |
