APA Northern New England Chapter

This was fascinating... and such an inspiring/exciting effort underway! It gives me an incredible appreciation for the value of the Atlas in understanding things like affordable housing/the housing crisis.

I appreciated the incorporation of some of the most basic elements of planning, design, and public engagement in this presentation. I'm a non-traditional planner, and my role in projects tends to be more advisory or strategic. So, I really benefited from the portion of this presentation that reviewed the toolkit and how to use it to vision and implement changes to the streetscape. Thank you!

Excellent presentation slower pace with a case study or example of how a city used the tool kit.

Good variety of cities of different levels of economic distress

good information

I can see the value add of having a repository for analyzing and comparing zoning, but feel like more needs to be done to keep this actively maintained as things inevitably change. I think we need a web-based zoning map tool that is freely available (and publicly accessible) for AICPs across the country to use to update their community's zoning, which would enable us to ensure that such data is accurately maintained for every community where an AICP planner is involved in the zoning process.

Thoughtful presentation. I appreciate the format that demonstrates methods and findings that lead to a toolkit.

I guess I’m familiar enough with this topic that I didn’t learn much new. I was looking forward to the case studies as successful implemented prijects, however they were existing-envisioned renderings that I found unispiring and didn’t teach me anything new that I would use. One new thing I learned was the idea with detail drawing for covering jersey barriers - that was useful.

great concept for exploring reform, looking forward to more states being included in this open-data initiative

Ben rocked this session, per usual!

I can't wait to see the full applications of this tool.

Seth is always a good speaker, and funny in a dry way.

This was an awesome webinar to attend. It was very informative and well presented. I learned a lot about how much our zoning maps (particularly restrictions pertaining to single family zoning) reveal about issues of equity and housing affordability.

This was new information to me. I learned a lot.

There is a lot of nuance lost in a zoning atlas.

This session provided real insight into the value of a state or national Zoning Atlas as it relates to the current challenges around the shortage of housing units. Not sure what the national Zoning Atlas was prior to the session but now understand the value of it.

i would like to receive more information about where and how to participate in this project.

Great ideas and info. Had never heard of the Zoning Atlas prior to this webinar and the presenters did a great job.

Very well done! Great breadth and depth and practical ideas.

Very weak program. Very i-sided program. Never once spoke about the carrying capacity of various parcels. In short, this presentation was a problem looking for a solution.

This webinar really changed my mind about how zoning codes could be utilized. I still believe in local control but with the atlas you could easily do comparative community research to try and make needed adjustments at the local level.

Very informative. It will be a great asset to local officials to navigate zoning challenges.

Excellent presentations, despite Kendall not wanting Montana to be like Colorado! Great job!

excellent presentation and insightful
