Miami Valley Land Suitability Assessment – Built Environment Factors
The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is pleased to announce the release of the Miami Valley Land Suitability Assessment – Built Environment Factors report.
MVRPC conducted the Miami Valley Land Suitability Assessment – Built Environment Factors as part of the existing conditions assessment phase of Going Places – An Integrated Land Use Vision for the Miami Valley Region. The main purpose of this assessment is to identify locations within the Region that are better suited for physical development than others based on 15 built environment factors, such as airport noise, fire protection services, access to amenities, and retail clusters.
Tabular, graphic, and spatial analyses of each factor were conducted separately in order to determine their presence and conditions. These analyses provided geographically referenced information about opportunities and constraints for future land development, which were scored, weighted, and combined into a Built Environment Residential Suitability Measure and a Built Environment Non-Residential Suitability Measure. These two measures were then used to produce a final Residential and Non-Residential Built Environment Suitability Measure.
