C. Mapping Exercise – Nat Waggoner, AICP, PMP, Long Range Planning Manager
Item Summary: The Steering Committee was divided into two tables. Each table was facilitated
by a Planning staff member. Each table was asked to distribute lego blocks representing
residential, commercial and employment land uses. During the distribution, the table was asked
to answer the following:
• How should we use our remaining land?
• Where are key activity centers? What makes them important?
• Where should we allocate the 7-10K future housing units based on projected population
growth?
• Where should we locate supporting commercial uses? (See Retail Merchandising Plan)
• Where should we locate target industry uses? (See Target Industry Analysis)
• How will the placement of residential, commercial and industry uses support recently
updated policies?

The values from the lego blocks at each table was calculated and inputted into the city’s Fiscal
Impact Model (a cost to serve model). Each table’s scenario resulted in a positive net fiscal
impact.
