Project Understanding Pinellas County is one of Florida’s premier locations to live, work, play and visit. With just under a million people calling it home today, there is an estimated demand for another 10-30% increase in population over the next 25 years and support for continued job growth. Yet, much of the land in the county is already developed. Recent changes to the Coastal High Hazard Area mapping also indicate that 25% of the land in the county is at a greater risk for more frequent flooding in the face of a changing climate. These dynamics mean that the future of the county’s continued vibrancy rests on evolving how and where it continues to grow. Specifically, development plans need to focus on infill and redevelopment in existing centers and along some of the county’s primary commercial corridors located outside the Coastal High Hazard Areas. Doing so will not only help create more resilient patterns of development, but it will also create conditions where more people live, work, shop and visit in areas where things are closer together. This kind of development will in turn make transportation options such as walking, biking, transit and shorter car trips more convenient and viable. The previous plans and ongoing work of Forward Pinellas and some of the partner cities fully recognize these dynamics. The identification of priority transit corridors, supporting implementation of complete streets, expanding the bicycle and pedestrian networks and partnering with the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) to expand transit service and create transit-supportive development patterns reflects a long-term commitment to this type of change. Land use planning and policy changes such as a shifting to form-based codes, reducing parking requirements, advancing creative stormwater management solutions, addressing missing middle and affordable housing options, and up-zoning for mixed use, higher density development reflects progress towards more urban patterns of development. Combined, the framework for integrated land use and transportation solutions in support of a more sustainable, resilient and equitable Pinellas County is getting set. Yet the project prioritization, plan implementation, funding, market alignment and community support remains an ongoing challenge. Given decades of growth in lower density, single use patterns combined with investments in high-speed and safer auto mobility means that there is a lot of physical transformation still to be done. To do so, Forward Pinellas will need to continue its leadership role through innovations in planning methods, measures of performance, integrated land use and transportation plans and policies. It also means continuing to convene members of the public, elected officials, other community stakeholders and regional partners to build support for and effect this change. Renaissance Planning is uniquely qualified to support Forward Pinellas in addressing its planning needs. Our firm’s core ethos and mission are centered on a foundational understanding of the importance of integrated land use and transportation planning. We have direct experience working in Pinellas County, and with Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and local governments in Florida and across the country to tackle these very challenges. Whether working at the site, subarea, corridor, countywide or regional scales, we understand how to effectively deliver integrated solutions. We have a small but mighty cadre of professionals with diverse educational backgrounds and real-world experiences in multimodal transportation, communications, land use policies, urban design, community engagement, facilitation, data analytics and visualization ready to support the goals of Forward Pinellas. The following pages highlight some of the specific work areas, general approaches and similar experiences relevant to the anticipated needs of this planning contract.

Priority Transit Corridors, Subarea and Site Planning Renaissance is experienced in delivering integrated transportation and land use corridor studies, subarea and site plans. The MPO’s designation of priority transit corridors provides a focused approach for targeting redevelopment and infill in a more resilient, transit supportive manner. Our team would propose to use scenario planning methods complete with 3D visualizations, the creation of community placetypes (e.g. prototypical land use and transportation development patterns) and multimodal transportation analysis to help develop the corridor plans. We would start with a strong engagement process to confirm the vision along the corridor, clarify goals and identify measures that can help assess how different concepts of development might perform against targets like better connecting housing and jobs, supporting economic vibrancy or improving access by all modes of transportation. This is very similar to our current work on the Lowcountry Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project in Charleston, SC, the Kendall Corridor in Miami and ongoing vision-based corridor studies for the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 1.

Innovations in Transportation Impact Analyses and Assessments Renaissance remains at the forefront of innovative approaches to assessing the effects of land development on travel demand and travel behavior. We recognize that traditional methods designed to assess traffic impacts for cars alone are not adequate for capturing the urban design and land use features associated with more dense, walkable, mixed use development. We have worked first hand with communities to develop district-based approaches to managing and monitoring transportation impacts. We continue to pilot studies that use new measures like multimodal accessibility to help reframe discussions around assessing transportation success by looking at connectivity versus just looking at levels of service. That said, we are also well versed in the use traditional transportation impact analysis methods. Principal staff member Dan Hardy, PE, PTP is leading a volunteer effort to update the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s (ITE) Recommended Practice on Transportation Impact Analyses of Site Development to better account for sensitivities related to multimodal transportation and equity issues. Renaissance recently worked with the City of Miami Beach to assess improvements in multimodal accessibility associated with increases in density. We are also currently working with Miami-Dade County on the development a new Mobility Fee and the City of Frederick, MD on the establishment of a multimodal transportation district and mobility fee.

Resiliency Strategies Hardening infrastructure and identifying vulnerable areas is just one of many steps’ communities are taking to become more resilient to a changing climate. Renaissance has expertise in bringing a resiliency lens into integrated land use and transportation planning. Over the last few years we have worked with four local governments in New York in concert in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New York Department of State to develop and deploy a resiliency planning tool that builds capacity within local governments to better integrate land use, smart growth and community resiliency factors into local plans and policies. This includes the development of model land use codes and policies as well as best practices guidance on the use of innovative green infrastructure for stormwater management. Key staff at Renaissance have also supported work in Florida including development of white papers and best practices research for FDOT District 4 on how to incorporate resiliency into the transportation planning process.

Congestion Management Process and the Integrated Performance Tracking Organizing around the integration of land use and transportation planning not only requires breaking down institutional silos, but it also requires the use of new measures and methods that can help quantify the real goals of transportation - how well an area connects people, places and opportunities. Yet the traditional transportation measures of effectiveness are largely still oriented around autospeed oriented measures like congestion, hours of delay, etc. As the MPO considers updating its congestion management process and developing a single integrated report and online dashboard to track performance, Renaissance is well equipped to support the incorporation of a more holistic approach. We have been working closely with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on the development of multimodal accessibility-based approaches including the creation of a new Multimodal System Productivity (MSP) measure that could be incorporated into new federal planning requirements. We are about to begin work on a pilot study with FDOT to apply the MSP measure in south Florida to further better manage the I-95 corridor. Additionally, Renaissance continues to work with clients like the Durham Chapel Hill Carrboro MPO to improve ways of communicating traditional and new performance measures in their annual report, state of the system and mobility report card documents. To that end, Renaissance has strong skills in storytelling, data analytics, visualizations and web-based communications that can help Forward Pinellas create the new Integrated Performance Report and support materials development for a new online dashboard.

Engagement and Storytelling Finally, good integrated land use and multimodal transportation planning only goes so far without strong engagement and storytelling to ensure plan implementation. The technical work efforts for this contract must be complemented with efforts to share knowledge, build community ownership for policy changes, foster public-private partnering, and prompt support for new transportation investment priorities that will help to create a more resilient and livable Pinellas County. Renaissance team members have deep experience in teaching, facilitation and engagement techniques including stakeholder summits, workshops, focus groups, on-line engagement, pop-up events, tactical urbanism, and other innovative methods to support the needs of Forward Pinellas. Effective engagement results when we can meet people where they are and give them the power to roll up their sleeves and become part of the solution. Nationally, key professionals serve as trainers for the National Transit Institute (NTI) delivering two-day trainings on Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and have led hundreds of traditional workshops and other engagement activities on behalf of the US EPA to advance smart growth approaches in the areas of health and the built environment, infill development, resiliency and walkability. In Florida, we recently led a scenario planning effort with high levels of in person and online engagement associated with the Sarasota Manatee MPO’s long range transportation plan update. We are currently co-facilitating stakeholder meetings for the FDOT’s M-CORES projects and facilitating engagement for all the FDOT District 1 corridor studies. With the very recent pandemic restrictions on person to person contact, we are also rapidly innovating our engagement techniques to enable more online and video-based efforts and will be able to serve as strong partners to Forward Pinellas on all engagement needs.

Project Management & Team Organization Renaissance Planning is very experienced in managing and delivering projects through on-call projects. To do so, we have a very simple contract management team that includes Katharine Ange, AICP as the overall Project Director, Amanda Chornoby, AICP as Project Manager and Frank Kalpakis, AICP as Principal in Charge and QA/QC manager. This leadership team will tap and partner with various technical experts with strong project management skills who can serve as individual task leaders on any given assignment. This leadership team will also be available to participate in monthly or bi-weekly contract meetings with Forward Pinellas staff to review progress, discuss project integration and resolve any issues associated with multiple task work orders. We would also be happy to prompt an all consultant call on a regular basis to do the same.

Relevant Projects & Innovations KENDALL CORRIDOR - STRATEGIC MIAMI AREA RAPID TRANSIT (SMART) PLAN MIAMI DADE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION | 2018 In April 2016 the TPO Governing Board passed the SMART Plan to address mobility needs throughout Miami-Dade County. The Plan includes six major rapid transit corridors and a countywide Bus Express Rapid Transit Network. Renaissance led a team for this study to develop a Land Use Scenario Plan and Vision Planning Study which entailed an analysis of existing land uses and development patterns, the creation of transit oriented development (TOD) placetypes and facilitated scenario planning exercises to identify a preferred vision for the corridor. The scenarios were analyzed and visualized using ESRI ArcPro 3D software, City Engine and other tools specifically developed for this effort. The final report was accompanied by a final Vision Planning Video for the corridor.

LOWCOUNTRY BUS RAPID TRANSIT TOD STRATEGIC PLAN BERKELEY-CHARLESTON-DORCHESTER COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS (BCDCOG) | 2020

The greater Charleston, SC region is experiencing rapid growth. In 2019 the BCDCOG kicked off the Lowcountry Rapid Transit Study which will create the state’s first premium transit corridor with a

new 23-mile Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line connecting downtown Charleston to points north with a terminus station in Summerville, SC. Renaissance is leading the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) strategic plan for the corridor which includes a robust outreach process with an added emphasis on ways to promote equitable TOD and minimize displacement of legacy residents and businesses. The project also involves an analytical and design process utilizing City Engine, Sketch Up and multimodal accessibility analyses to identify TOD Placetypes in different corridor-based scenarios for evaluation against ridership and community development goals. Following the corridor-level analysis, the team will create station area design plans and a TOD implementation toolkit inclusive of recommended policies, regulations, public-private partnerships, multimodal infrastructure and urban design guidelines that the local government partners and the private sector can use to build TOD over the next several decades.

MIAMI BEACH TOWN CENTER LAND USE AMENDMENT & MULTIMODAL ACCESSIBILITY MODEL CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FL | 2018 The City of Miami Beach successfully passed a referendum in 2017 to increase the maximum allowable square footage in the Town Center in North Beach. This 10-block area is the “Main Street” area of North Beach and is a moderate density mixed use area with older buildings. Developers have been interested in re-developing the Town Center area but have been reluctant to do so given current density limitations. Renaissance was tasked by the City to analyze the transportation impacts of this land use amendment using

the mode choice models Renaissance had previously developed for the State of Maryland. Renaissance developed a multi-modal network using Open Street Map and GTFS feeds, along with auto travel times from the Southeast Regional Planning Model (SERPM) to develop 2017 and 2040 accessibility scores for work and nonwork purposes. The City presented the results of this study to the City Commission in July as support for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment. 7


ACCESSIBILITY SKETCH MODELING TOOL METROPOLITAN PLANNING AREA COUNCIL, BOSTON, MA | 2020 Renaissance is leading the development of an accessibilitybased sketch modeling tool to help agencies in the Boston region perform quick-response scenario planning to evaluate smart growth transportation and land use concepts. The project is prompted in part by the proposal to redevelop the vacant Allston Rail Yards into a compact, mixed-use center anchored by a new station on the Worcester Line commuter rail system and incorporating the realignment of the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) to maximize developable area on site. MAPC is interested in understanding the degree to which different land use mixes and transportation system configurations could shift forecast travel demand to different destinations or modes.

ANNUAL REPORT, MOBILITY REPORT CARD, AND STATE OF THE REGION REPORT DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL-CARRBORO METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION (DCHC MPO) | 2020 Since 2016, Renaissance Planning has worked with the DCHC MPO to monitor and report travel conditions and regional trends affecting the transportation network in support of the Congestion Management Process. These documents focus on strong visual storytelling and data visualization in addition to transportation and land use systems analysis and include: the Annual Report highlights the MPO’s accomplishments and annual system performance; the Mobility Report Card showcasing the region’s progress through 12 key travel factors; and the State of the Region report which provides an evaluation on the current transportation issues in the context of growth and development trends. Renaissance is currently leading an update of all three reports to expand performance metrics, strengthen data visualizations and enhance the overall storytelling.

2040 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN SARASOTA/MANATEE METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION (MPO) | 2020 Renaissance led the development of the now-adopted 2040 LRTP. The plan update builds on previous plans to create a more seamless multimodal transportation network in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Renaissance worked with the MPO to develop desired outcomes and clearly defined roles and responsibilities of each of the MPO’s planning, funding, and operating partners. The Strategic Mobility Plan outlines a financially feasible transportation plan that creates a well-connected regional transportation system to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of people and goods while considering the changing demographics of the area to support a growing regional economy. Through a robust engagement process, a goal framework was identified resulting in three scenarios: economic development, environmental preservation, and vibrant places. These theme-based scenarios were presented in a visioning workshop where the public weighed in, resulting in a vision plan.

COMMUNITY RESILIENCE US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA), OFFICE OF COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION (OCR) | 2020 Renaissance has been working with the US EPA to provide technical assistance and develop a resiliency tool to aid local governments in the northeast in advancing local resilience strategies. Initial work entailed engagement with two Long Island, New York communities affected by Hurricane Sandy. The primary focus of the effort was to develop an integrated approach to smart growth and resilience through the identification of model policies and codes and additional strategies to help build resilience to climate change in vulnerable coastal and riverine communities. This round of work resulted in the creation of the Resilience: Implementation and Strategic Enhancements (RISE) tool which provides a replicable process of communities to self-evaluate local codes and policies and identify needed enhancements for increasing climate change resiliency. Renaissance is currently providing support to EPA, FEMA and the New York Department of State to enhance the RISE tool and deliver technical assistance to two additional upstate New York communities that experience riverine flooding.

CORRIDOR PLANNING STUDIO FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DISTRICT ONE | 2020 Renaissance was selected for a five-year on call project with the Florida Department of Transportation’s District One to advance integrated land use and transportation planning. Through the Planning Studio contract, the FDOT has recognized the value of rethinking its approach to corridor studies whereby they can facilitate corridor visioning concurrent with the identification of multimodal transportation strategies. Renaissance is currently wrapping up three corridor studies under this new model including the US 17, US 17-92 and SR 70 Corridors. The Planning Studio approach provides foundational information and context necessary to identify trends and conditions that require integrated transportation and land use strategies to move a community to a desired future. It creates strong linkages between planning and project development, bringing efficiencies to project implementation, and the technical evidence for more informed decisions.

UNIVERSITY AREA TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS SUBAREA AND PD&E STUDY, HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FLORIDA The area directly north of the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, Florida is evolving and has become a focal point for redevelopment of student-friendly housing, leveraging the synergies and value in clustering student-oriented housing close together. The University is transitioning from a commuting student population to a more traditional, residential student population. Many of the USF students either walk, bike, or take transit to the University. Hillsborough County recognized the opportunity to extend the fabric of the USF campus into the area comprising the 42nd Street and 46th Street corridors to serve as a “student-village” supporting the University. Renaissance led this study to evaluate land use and transportation conditions and

identify opportunities for enhancing multimodal transportation connections both within the study area and to the University campus while accommodating commuters traveling through the area. An origin-destination analysis using real-time data procured by StreetLight provided a snapshot of trip making characteristics in the area and led to a range of multimodal recommendations. Renaissance is currently supporting the subsequent Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study to evaluate the social, cultural and environmental effects of the improvements to 42nd and 46th Streets and other intersection improvements in the University area. This study will define the project typical sections and multimodal accommodations for design and implementation.

Kate Ange is President of Renaissance Planning. Her experience includes visioning and scenario planning, transit-oriented development (TOD), corridor studies, urban design, facilitation and public engagement. Kate excels in persuasive communications and effectively framing planning issues to help elected officials, stakeholders and the public clearly understand trade-offs associated with differing policy decisions. She works at the local, regional and statewide scales to advance integrated approaches to land use and transportation in support of community livability and sustainability goals. The following provides a sampling of her diverse project experiences. Planning Studio On-Call Contract, Florida Department of Transportation, District One, 2019-2021 Renaissance Planning is supporting the FDOT District One in various ways to better integrate community goals and visions into state transportation projects. The Planning Studio approach involves outreach, analysis and documentation to identify specific transportation and land use strategies to move a community to a desired future. It creates strong linkages between planning and project development, bringing efficiencies to project implementation and the technical evidence for more informed decisions further contributing to the pre-NEPA work efforts that set the stage for early identification of purpose and need and initiation of the ETDM process. Kate serves as a senior advisor to the overall contract and supports efforts related to preparing materials and conducting workshops to support institutional changes relative to planning processes. National ETDM Framework – Federal Highway Administration To accelerate project delivery and reduce the regulatory burden on States and Metropolitan Planning Organizations, Renaissance is supporting FHWA to develop a national decision making framework that creates strong linkages between early planning decisions and NEPA studies. The Florida Department of Transportation’s Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) process is being used as a model to create a similar, replicable process nationally. The framework will be used during the planning and environment review processes, facilitating early interagency coordination and project screening to build a strong foundation that in turn can lead to more efficient NEPA processes and timelines. FHWA’s national ETDM framework aims to support environmental policies that help preserve and enhance the natural, physical, cultural, and social environment as they develop, implement, and maintain transportation facilities and services. Renaissance will be developing a National ETDM Framework Toolkit that defines best practices for a coordinated and connected planning and environmental review process. Kate serves as Planning Principal for this effort. FDOT District 4 – Technical Assistance in Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Renaissance has worked with FDOT District 4 for almost a decade on TOD. This has included the development of the TOD Framework for Florida, the TOD Working Group, the TOD Readiness Tool and online TOD Inventory. In the spring of 2019, Kate initiated a series of stakeholder interviews with local 12


governments, transit agencies and planning councils to help identify ways in which FDOT can continue to support planning and implementation of TOD. This work is currently underway and will result in a white paper and FDOT roundtable on next steps. Berkley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (BCDCOG) Lowcountry Bus Rapid Transit, TOD Strategic Plan Renaissance is part of the Lowcountry Bus Rapid Transit study in the greater Charleston, SC area. Kate serves as principal in charge of this project and will be leading the development of the major TOD tasks including the development of placetypes, corridor wide scenarios and TOD policy recommendations. National Transit Institute (NTI) Transit Oriented Development Course, Nationwide Since 2011, Kate has served as a lead instructor and course developer for the TOD course offered by the National Transit Institute at Rutgers University. In this capacity she has conducted the two-day course in more than 20 locations nationwide working directly with local transit agencies and community government liaisons to identify ways to plan for and implement TOD. Promoting Joint Development in Florida and TOD Framework for Florida, Florida Department of Transportation, Central Office Since 2010, the Florida DOT has identified TOD as a key strategy for supporting a shift to a more multimodal transportation system. Renaissance led two notable efforts to develop guidance on TOD and Joint Development in Florida where Kate served as a key author and overall project manager. Sustainable Communities and Smart Growth Technical Assistance, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) From 2011 to 2019 Renaissance has worked with EPA’s Office of Community Revitalization on research and technical assistance projects. Kate has served as program designer, principal in charge, project manager and lead facilitator on many of these endeavors that often involve engagement aimed at visioning, knowledge exchange and action planning on topics including walkability, local foods, health and the built environment, and infill and revitalization. Kate has facilitated more than 100 workshops during her time leading this work and traveled nationwide to more than 30 communities across the urban to rural contexts. Livable Frederick Scenario Planning and Comprehensive Plan Update, Frederick County, MD Frederick County embarked on a major update to its Comprehensive Plan in 2016 to reassess its growth strategy. Renaissance produced a project website and an online survey to gather community insights on a new vision. From the vision, Renaissance developed integrated land use and transportation scenarios that could be evaluated against vision-based

criteria including improving multimodal transportation choices, housing diversity, economic competitiveness, green infrastructure and working lands preservation, and other factors. The preferred scenario guided staff in the development of the Comprehensive Plan scheduled for adoption in 2019. Kate served as the principal in charge on the project. Countywide Transit Network Study – Fairfax County, VA Department of Transportation Renaissance Planning conducted a countywide transit network study to determine long term transit systems needs to accommodate desired economic growth throughout the County over the next several decades. The study included developing recommendations for the location of the Metrorail extension, streetcar or light-rail systems, and dedicated lanes for bus rapid transit systems or treatments. Kate served as the resource principal for this project and led the outreach and stakeholder engagement tasks. MLK Boulevard North-South Bus Rapid Transit, 30% Design – Public Engagement, Town of Chapel Hill, NC The Town of Chapel Hill is conducting the first phase of design on a bus rapid transit (BRT) project connecting the University of North Carolina (UNC), downtown Chapel Hill and UNC Hospitals with residential areas along a major north-south corridor. Renaissance leads the public outreach process for the project. Kate is a senior advisor on public engagement for this project. Transit Concept for 2050 – Hillsborough County Metropolitan Planning Organization This project entailed developing a series of transit scenarios to illustrate land use and transportation options and tradeoffs. Unanimously adopted by the Hillsborough County MPO Board in November 2007, the project received a 2008 Planning Commission Community Design Award. Kate served as task leader for the scenario development exercises that include use of the firm’s CorPlan scenario planning model and TOD Typologies. Warrenton Comprehensive Plan, Town of Warrenton, VA Renaissance is working as part of a consultant team, leading public engagement efforts, supporting alternative scenario considerations and developing recommendations for refined policies and implementation tools. These updates focus on goals related to diversifying the housing stock, bringing more vitality to main street and aging commercial corridors, crafting a targeted economic development strategy and promoting more walking and biking throughout the community. The plan is scheduled for adoption in early 2020. Kate serves as project manager.
