Increasing Equity in Planning & Decision Making
CRSC will identify gaps in public participation plans and efforts, examining best practices for incorporating equity into planning, and preparing goals, metrics and strategies for achieving full participation of all groups. CRSC will address issues of displacement from rising land values that may result from future transit-oriented development. It will encourage planning efforts in the region to incorporate equity goals into plan updates, and to incorporate pubic participation strategies into future public participation plans, which, under state statutes are required components of comprehensive planning that must be adopted by the governing body. Guiding principles to be considered for equitable development will be:
- Integrate strategies that focus on people with those focused on improving places.
- Reduce local and regional disparities · Promote investments that are catalytic, coordinated, and result in a triple bottom line.
- Ensure meaningful community participation, leadership, and ownership in change efforts.
