An Integrated Land Use Vision
for the Miami Valley Region
Phase I - Existing Condition Assessment Physical and Non-Physical Condition Evaluation
The purpose of Phase I of Going Places initiative is to answer the question of where we are. More specifically, the first phase is to evaluate the Region's physical landscape and to identify various socioeconomic trends in the Region.
- More information is available in the
Going Places Phase I brochure (
:4.69 MB).
Between July 2007 and May 2009, various studies have been completed evaluating two dimensions of the existing condition of the Region: land supply and land demand.
For the Physical Condition Evaluation, the land supply dimension, the three main goals were:
- Evaluate the Region's land development suitability based on both natural and build environment factors
- Examine the existing use of land, including land use intensities in the Region
- Identify developable land in the Region for potential future development
For the Non-Physical Condition Evaluation, the land demand dimension, the three main goals were:
- Identify how much land is devoted to different types of land uses
- Identify socioeconomic trends and develop socioeconomic projections
- Translate these projections into future land demand

Going Places Phase I Executive Summary
The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is pleased to announce the release of the Going Places Phase I Executive Summary report.
The Phase I Executive Summary report is a summation of all of the work completed under the existing conditions assessment phase of Going Places: An Integrated Land Use Vision for the Miami Valley Region . It also presents the results of a comparison between the physical and non-physical assessment portions of Phase I.
The report contains summaries of each of the reports completed during Phase I, highlighting the most important information and providing a review of the data analysis and conclusions. It begins with an introductory section which provides a synopsis of the Going Places initiative and introduces the various reports that comprise Phase I. The next section reviews the reports that make up the physical condition assessment portion of Phase I, such as the Miami Valley Land Development Suitability Assessment. The third section is devoted to the non-physical condition assessment portion of Phase I, such as the Miami Valley Housing Assessment and the Miami Valley Commercial Development Assessment. The fourth section provides a comparison of the results of the Miami Valley Land Development Suitability Assessment and the Miami Valley Land Use Demand Assessment, effectively comparing the supply of developable land with a projection of the land needed for future development.

Miami Valley Commercial Development Assessment
The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is pleased to announce the release of the Miami Valley Commercial Development Assessment.
The Miami Valley Commercial Development Assessment, as part of Going Places: An Integrated Land Use Vision for the Miami Valley Region, is an attempt to measure the existing condition of commercial development by analyzing the land use and building space inventory and to identify how future development planning might appropriately compliment the needs and resources of the Region.
The analysis is organized into four main sections: a land-based analysis, a building-based analysis, and two market analyses, one for office development and one for retail development. The Assessment also offers a projection of commercial employment to 2040. For this study, both spatial and non-spatial socio-economic data were collected and developed at the parcel, tract, and Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) levels and employment data at the county and TAZ levels. The data are examined geographically, graphically, and in tabular form.

Miami Valley Housing Assessment
The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is pleased to announce the release of the Miami Valley Housing Assessment report.
The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) conducted the Miami Valley Housing Assessment in order to examine the Region's housing status as part of Going Places: An Integrated Land Use Vision for the Miami Valley Region, MVRPC's new Regional Land Use Planning initiative. This assessment examines the Region's housing issues from a wide-ranging perspective, attempting to provide a comprehensive overview of the current housing conditions in the Region.
The analysis of housing-related variables focuses on three key areas: regional demographic and economic patterns; housing distribution patterns; and housing affordability. The data were both compiled to the Regional level for tabular and graphic analysis and at the Census Block Group level for spatial analysis and presentation. The Assessment also offers a projection of the housing units required to support the Region's future population. For assessment purposes, the Region is defined as the eight counties in the Dayton Metropolitan Area.

Miami Valley Land Suitability Assessment Natural Environment Factors
MVRPC is pleased to announce the release of the Miami Valley Land Suitability Assessment Natural Environment Factors. The assessment was conducted 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 natural environment factors, such as soil, slope, vegetation, and hydrology.
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 final Natural Environment Suitability Measure.

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.

Miami Valley Land Development Suitability Assessment
The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) is pleased to announce the release of the Miami Valley Land Development Suitability Assessment.
This assessment was conducted as the final portion of the physical existing conditions evaluation phase of Going Places An Integrated Land Use Vision for the Miami Valley Region. The main purpose of this assessment is to examine the regional landscape in a comprehensive manner and to identify developable land that is not currently fully developed and/or protected land.
This assessment is an examination of the Region through a four-phase analysis, which includes historical development trends, constraints and opportunities of the present landscape, current land development conditions, and applications of the findings. Together, these analyses provide geographically referenced information about areas that are better suited to accommodate potential future physical land development in the Region.For additional information about the Miami Valley Land Development Suitability Assessment, contact Martin Kim Director of Regional Planning at (937) 223-6323.
