  5. Population Allocation Model

  6. Visualization Techniques - Ensley Township Population Allocation Model • Population Growth Potential • Land Availability Index • Land Desirability Index

  7. Visualization Techniques - Ensley Township Population Allocation Model • Population Growth Potential • Land Availability Index • Land Desirability Index

  8. Population Change Source: US Census Bureau

  9. Historical Population of Ensley Township

  10. Population Increase by Decade

  11. Population Projections Using Mean Annual Growth Rate from 1990-2000 (2.58 percent)

  12. Population Projections Using Mean Annual Growth Rate from 1960-2000 (4.16 percent)

  13. Visualization Techniques - Ensley Township Population Allocation Model • Population Growth Potential • Land Availability Index • Land Desirability Index

  14. Land Cover Change 1978/1998

  15. Land Cover Change 1978/1998

  16. Comparison of Urban Land Uses-1978/1998

  17. Urban Sprawl Index for Selected Townships Note: An area is considered to be "sprawling" when the rate of land consumption exceeds the rate of population growth. This Urban Sprawl Index compares the relative amount of change in acreage used for development to the relative amount of change in population. The higher the index value the greater the "sprawl" in the Township. A value of 1 or less indicates no sprawl has occurred.

  18. Land Available for Development based on 1998 Land Cover Analysis • Agricultural-10,049 acres • Open Field-1,178 acres • Forest-8,177 acres • Total Area Available • for Development- • 19,404 acres

  19. Land Area Required for ProjectedResidential Growth Mean Annual Population Growth Rate: 4.16 Assumed Population Density (people/acre): 1.91

  20. Projected Residential Growth in Acres Mean Annual Population Growth Rate: 4.16 Assumed Population Density (people/acre): 1.91

  21. Visualization Techniques - Ensley Township Population Allocation Model • Population Growth Potential • Land Availability Index • Land Desirability Index

  22. Visualization Techniques - Ensley Township Population Allocation Model Land Desirability Index – Factor Maps Distance to roads Distance to other residential land use Distance to water Degree of slope Soil suitability for septic systems Distance to forests

  23. Visualization Techniques - Ensley Township Population Allocation Model Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Pairwise comparison of all factors Statistical assessment based on 9-point continuous scale If you think proximity to roads is more important than septic suitability, how much more important is it?

  24. Projected Residential Growth 2000-2010

  25. Projected Residential Growth 2010-2020

  26. Projected Residential Growth 2020-2030

  27. Projected Residential Growth 2030-2040

  28. Land Area Required for ProjectedResidential Growth Mean Annual Population Growth Rate: 4.16 Assumed Population Density (people/acre): 1.91

  29. Land Lost to Projected Residential Growth 2010/2040 (in acres) Mean Annual Population Growth Rate: 4.16 Assumed Population Density (people/acre): 1.91

  30. Visualization Techniques - Ensley Township Population Allocation Model • Projections calculated using a population growth rate of 4.16 • (the mean annual growth rate from 1960-2000) and assumes a • population density (people/acre) of 1.91 • Land area required for projected population growth by 2040 • is equivalent to almost 3700 football fields • Would occupy approximately 16.5% of Ensley Township’s total land area and 18% of total land area available for • development

  31. Community Build-Out Analysis

  32. Community Build-Out Analysis Version 2.0 University of Vermont – Center for Rural Studies Addison County Regional Planning Commission Lewis Creek Association C.L. Davis Consulting Associates, LTD

  33. Community Build-Out Analysis Version 2.0 • Designed to help communities project future consequences of their zoning ordinances • Allows the review of alternatives and perhaps can lead to better methods of meeting community goals and objectives • Basic acreage based build-out where zoning district acreage is tabulated by parcel to determine development density

  34. Model Requirements • The model runs as an extension program to ArcView GIS • At a minimum you need…. • Zoning Districts and minimum lot size standards • Parcel ownership • Location of existing building structure • Single-family residential • Farmstead • Confined Feeding Operation • Industrial Operation • Also, can consider road frontage specifications and road right-of-way locations along with lot size standards.

  35. Additional Model Data Needs • To build development scenarios you need to identify constraints to development… • Which can include natural features such as these…. • Waterbodies • Steep Slopes • Wetlands • Lowland Forests

  36. Additional Model Data Needs • To build development scenarios you need to identify constraints to development… • Which can include other features such as these…. • State owned lands • Township owned lands (cemeteries, parks, natural areas etc.) • Existing commercial sites (golf courses etc.) • Large holdings of private lands (assuming they are not available for large scale development) • Existing farmstead and farm operations like confined feeding (assuming they will stay farmland)

  37. Additional Model Data Needs • To build development scenarios you need to identify constraints to development… • Which can include valuable important natural resource features such as… • Prime farmland soils • Groundwater recharge areas • Stream Buffers

  38. GIS Data Layers • Topography – steep slopes • Hydrography – lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks • Natural Lands – wetlands, forests, openfields • Working Lands – agricultural lands, forest lands, mineral resources • Groundwater recharge areas • Parcel boundaries • Prime farmland soils • State and Township lands • Lands that support built infrastructure

  39. Constraints to Development

  40. Scenario #1 Zoning as is with no constraints

  41. Scenario #2 Zoning as is with undevelopable land constraints

  42. Scenario #3 Zoning as is with undevelopable land and important natural resource features constraints

  43. Model Results - Tabular

  44. Additional Scenarios • Add new zoning districts and minimum lot size requirements • Add additional natural resource features that can reduce development potential • Instead of no development areas use density reduction requirements

  45. L-THIA Analysis

  46. Long-Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment L-THIAwww.ecn.purdue.edu/runoff L-THIA – An analytical modeling tool for planners, developers and natural resource managers which provides estimates of changes in runoff, recharge and non-point source pollution for a geographic area resulting from past, current and projected land use changes.

  47. Long-Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment L-THIA Data Inputs -(ArcView shapefiles): • Land Use and Cover • Soils (Hydrologic Soil Group) • Precipitation Data (long-term climate)

  48. Long-Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment L-THIA Data Outputs - (Arc/ Info Grid files): • SCS Curve Number (Composite derived from Land Use • and Soil type) • Runoff depth and Runoff volumes • Non-point source pollution estimates of Total N, • TKN-N, NO3-NO2,Total and Dissolved P, Suspended • and Dissolved Solids, Total Metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn), BOD and COD.
