to lay out a vision for continued development in the town center. 1
to control growth and conserve natural lands.
that includes a full range of options - from walking, biking, transit, and micro-mobility.
Why should Senoia have a plan for growth & conservation?
Yesterday 2000 Today 2023 Tomorrow Current Applications Today Suburban Sprawl
Tomorrow?
We can be proactive about directing the location and type of growth that will occur so that it builds on - and doesn’t take away from - the town character.

Yesterday Today Tomorrow
How do we preserve Senoia’s small town character and ecological value while allowing for intentional growth?
Step 1
Identify areas of high ecological value for conservation

Senoia Conservation
Goals
1. Conserve small-town community character
• Viewsheds, experience of being surrounded by nature
• Emphasis on natural resources, specifically:
• Tree canopy
• Bodies of water
• Protection of ecological resources on private lands
Senoia Conservation
Goals
2. Prioritize active use and recreation-oriented conservation
• Public access and enjoyment of lands and resources
• Tie in to parks and greenspace

Senoia Conservation
Goals
Short term: protect within Senoia, particularly existing tree canopy and riverside/ lakeside property
• Building off a strong foundation, early intervention,
• And: If you fail to plan you plan to fail
Long term: buffer around existing development as town boundaries expand

II. Methodology and analysis
Conservation scoring and process
Methodology
1. Analyze data on five key categories of conservation (see graphic on right)
2. Score each parcel for each category:
• D etermine if parcel meets criteria
• Apply binar y scoring of 0 or 1
• Apply weights per category (see percentages in graphic on right)
3. Sum each cateogry together for a final score per parcel
4. Identify clusters of high scoring, high ecological-value parcels
Additional notes:
• Area of interest: 5 mile radius from center of Senoia, not including Fayette County
• Basic unit of analysis: parcel level data

Conservation Cores
• L arge swaths of connected, contiguous lands
• Priority on ecological value - wilderness, wildlife, biodiversity, and protecting existing natural resources
• Particularly protecting greenfields from low-density sprawl
• D enotes either public ownership and/or public access to landthough neither are required.
• C an look like, for example:
• Conser vation-oriented development (cluster development close together, leave aside conserved areas)
• Publicly owned parks and recreational facilities
• Sending areas for transfer of development rights (TDR) via conservation easement

What about areas outside of the cores?
• This framework is quantitative in nature. Our work is intended to create a cohesive, clear, action-oriented vision but it is not prescriptive.
• You all know your place better than we do!
• Use our findings as a springboard for action - where and what to focus on.
• Any property with interested, active landowners should be engaged with!
• True regardless of size, location, rural/suburban/urban, etc.
• Nearly all land in area of interest is privately ownedregardless of location, need strong incentives for landowner participation
• D on’t let perfect be the enemy of good- better to conserve bits and pieces than nothing

Transfer of development rights (TDR)
• Voluntary, legal agreement that permanently limits development of the land in order to protect its conservation values
• Voluntary, market-based mechanism
• TDR removes development rights from a conservation-focused area, and transfers these development rights to a growthfocused area which can then be developed at a higher intensity
• Moving development from one area to another, not restricting it outright
• Ties together conservation strategy with growth strategy
• Especially relevant for regional conservation strategy
• One of many conservation tools to utilize!

Core
1: “Dense Forest”
Large properties of densely forested land, with some agricultural activity, and minimally developed overall. Bordered by Line Creek and straddling Keg Creek and overlapping with the water supply watershed.
Core 2: “Wetland Pass”
Significant overlap with wetlands, downstream Keg Creek and Line Creek, and minor tributaries. Some large, minimally developed agricultural land; essentially no low intensity suburban development. Much of the land adjacent to the east of Line Creek (Fayette County) also undisturbed.
Core
3: “Creek Confluence”
Envisions conservation areas along tributaries that feed Little White Oak Creek. Tributaries converge on a larger undisturbed tract of land southward along Little White Oak Creek. Most developed and subdivided of the three conservation cores.

Specify how growth look & function
How much growth could occur surrounding Senoia if we do nothing?
~3,500 units
There are ~7,000 acres of undeveloped land surrounding the current Senoia city limits
We can assume a density of 0.5 units/acre which is in line with Coweta County ‘s zoning
