PROJECT CHARTERINTRODUCTION
By definition, a charter is a written instrument or contract executed in due form. As part of the development of Gwinnett County’s 2040 Unified Plan, the County has requested a Project Charter – in essence, a contract – to delineate project milestones and dates which the Pond Project Team will meet throughout the process of creating and developing the Plan. This Charter is intended to provide clarity for all parties involved, to manage expectations of work to be performed and deliverables that can be anticipated.
We also anticipate that this will be a living document – to act as a Project Management plan – that isadjusted and refined as the planning processprogresses. While no major changes to the processare anticipated, the Pond Project Team will bereflecting on our efforts – particularly as it pertains tocommunity engagement – and will adjust techniquesappropriately in order to maximize the successachieved.

PROJECT CHARTERPLANNING PROCESS OVERVIEW
Our planning process is based around four major strategies consisting of eight steps, as indicated below. This information is intended to provide a summarized overview of our planning process. A detailed Scope of Services is provided beginning on Page 9 of this document.
Research
In Step 1, we will perform a variety of Fact Finding exercises to establish existing conditions, review recent trends, and anticipate a status-quo future to be used during…
Vision
Step 2, where we perform a substantial amount of community engagement. We put a significant value of our approach in reaching out to all of the members of our community and understanding its pulse, a process that we have detailed in the Scope of Services section on Page 10.
In Step 3 (which is based largely on the outreach of Step 2), we develop a Vision for the future of Gwinnett County based on identified Needs and Opportunities, developing Goals and Objectives, and preparing Planning Criteria to apply in…
Develop
Step 4, where we prepare a “Preservation and Change” analysis at the scale of Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) or Census Block Groups. This analysis will be identified through two main functions:
The Planning Criteria, which is likely to utilize factors such as a ratio of land value/cost to develop, transportation equity, and planned infrastructure investment to better understand where underlying forces may influence changes in development patterns A “Change or Preserve” exercise that we will ask the community to participate in during Step 2.
The compiled analysis will help us understand areas that fit into these four categories:

PROJECT CHARTERUnlikely to Change | Change Desired Likely to Change | Change Not Desired Unlikely to Change | Change Not Desired Likely to Change | Change Desired
The results of this process will help us define broad subareas for more granular study, and we will ask for Planning Advisory Committee insight and assistance before moving onto… Step 5, where we will perform a series of smaller area plans (with additional community engagement) in order to understand regulatory and Comprehensive Plan enacted changes that can be made to achieve the outcomes of each community.
In Step 6, we will compile the smaller area plans up to the County scale in order to identify Community Work Program items, long term initiatives, and changes appropriate for the County’s Future Development Map.
In Step 7, we will perform a final round of community outreach to receive feedback on the draft plan, before moving onto…
Document
Step 8, where we go through the steps of submitting the draft plan for review by ARC/DCA, respond to applicable comments, and submit the plan for consideration by the Gwinnett County Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners.

PROJECT CHARTERPUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PLAN
Traditional Outreach
Public Hearings
Three traditional public hearings will be held at Board of Commissioners’ meetings. The initial kickoff public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, December 19, 2017 at 7:00 PM. This first hearing represents the formal announcement of the Unified Plan effort to the County Commission as well as members of the general public. It will afford attendees the opportunity to learn about the planning process, including future meetings dates and how they can provide their input, as well as how the Unified Plan will benefit Gwinnett County.
The second public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, October 23, 2018 at 7:00 PM. In addition to presenting an overview of the recommendations and Character Area Map from the Plan, the Board of Commissioners will vote to submit the Plan to the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for review.
Adoption of the plan is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, February 5, 2019. The purpose of this meeting is for the Board of Commissioners to formally adopt the Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan.
In addition to hearings at Board of Commissioners’ meetings, the Plan will be presented to the Planning Commission for review at their regular meeting on Tuesday, August 7, 2018 at 7:00 PM. Then, on October 2, 2018, it is anticipated that the Planning Commission will hold a formal public hearing on the Plan and vote to recommend approval to the Board of Commissioners.
Community Meetings
Three rounds of community meetings are planned to be held in locations around the County. The Project Team has planned for five meetings per round, to allow one per each of the four Commission Districts, plus an additional meeting in a central location, likely at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center (GJAC). Following is an overview of the content and purpose of each round of community meetings:
Round 1 (Held in January and February 2018): Open House style meetings, including the following stations for attendees to visit, staffed by Project Team members:
What is a Unified Plan? Presentation of a Timeline of Key Milestones in Gwinnett County, then the opportunity for attendees to answer, “What is your vision for Gwinnett’s future?” What’s the Big Idea? – Attendees will provide their input into the County’s Needs and Opportunities Plan the Future – “Preservation and Change” Exercise, as explained on pages 3 and 4 of this document, using the key words, “Preserve/Create/Change.” Urban Transect Exercise, to help inform the Character Area Map designations, descriptions, and locations
Round 2 (Held in May 2018):
Presentation of proposed Character Area Map Presentation of a draft County Vision Statement Presentation of a draft list of Needs and Opportunities
Round 3 (Held in August 2018):
Present the final Character Area Map

PROJECT CHARTERPresent final Plan Recommendations, including the Vision Statement, Needs, and Opportunities Present the Community Work Program
Planning Advisory Committee Meetings
The Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) will convene at key milestones during the project to help guide the development of the Unified Plan. They will also assist the Project Team in promoting events and community meetings. Four PAC meetings are anticipated, as follows:
Meeting #1 (January 11, 2018): o Review Environmental Scan o Perform SWOT Analysis o Begin initial list of County’s Needs and Opportunities, based on the SWOT analysis o Discuss questions for the Millennial Focus Groups
Meeting #2 (March 2018) o Review initial subarea planning o Review Policies and Needs & Opportunities
Meeting #3 (April 2018) o Review subarea planning results prior to community meeting o Review draft Character Area Map
Meeting #4 (June 2018) o Review draft Unified Plan
Online Survey An online survey will be developed, advertised, and made available from January 2018 through March 2018. The survey will ask broad questions and be used to gauge what issues residents feel are most important to ensure the preservation, enhancement, and physical development of the County. This information will help the Project Team understand the community’s vision and priorities.

PROJECT CHARTERNon-Traditional Outreach
Pop Up Events and Intercept Interviews
In keeping with the strategy of going out to meet stakeholders where they are, event opportunities will be identified where the project team can set up a display, talk to County residents to get their input into the Unified Plan, and distribute the survey and other printed materials. The County Communications Department will provide a calendar of events related to the Gwinnett Bicentennial, and with the assistance of the County Community Services Department, the Project Team will identify other opportunities as 2018 event calendars are populated.
Overall, the intent will be to hold up to 30 different events in some combination of either a Pop Up Event (more formalized and typically held at an event or central public locations) or an Intercept Interview (less formalized). As indicated in the ‘Targeted Outreach’ section on the following page, the Intercept interviews are anticipated as one of the main ways of engaging the Hispanic and Asian populations of Gwinnett County.
Events and locations include:
County Fair (January, September) Gwinnett Family Fest (April) Multicultural Festival (April) Private events (such as Night Market) Community Services events GJAC County Parks (potential targets below)
o Harbins Park o Shorty Howell Park o Lenora Park o Little Mulberry Park o Best Friend Park o Bogan Park o Bethesda Park o Rhodes Jordan Park o Pickneyville (Soccer Complex)
Santa Fe Mall Global International Mall Sugarloaf Mills Gwinnett Place Mall Mall of Georgia Senior Centers Hong Kong Supermarket Assi Plaza (Gwinnett Place area and/or Old Peachtree Road area) Super H Mart (Gwinnett Place area and/or Suwanee area) Nam Dae Mun (Gwinnett Place area and/or Lilburn area) Gwinnett County DMV Gwinnett Tech Georgia Gwinnett College Utility payment locations

PROJECT CHARTERLiving Room Chats
The Living Room Chat concept relies on interested stakeholders being willing to host small groups to discuss the Unified Plan and record questions, concerns, and ideas for the Project Team. Stakeholders will be provided with a Living Room Chat “kit” that will provide a few questions to spur discussion as well as an email address where feedback can be sent for compilation and consideration by the Project Team. Potential events for these kits to be distributed between February and May 2018 include:
Partnership Gwinnett Community Improvement Districts (CIDs) State of the County Address (February 2018) Planning & Development Department Sign up list at first round of community meetings in January/February 2018
Targeted Outreach
Business & Community Groups
Outreach to these groups will be timed to raise awareness of community meetings in January/February, May, and August 2018. Locations and groups will be developed in coordination with County staff and may include the following:
Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce Partnership Gwinnett Redevelopment Task Force Gwinnett Citizens’ Academy (May 3, 2018) Rotary Club Kiwanis Club Lions Club
Hispanic Community Outreach
This outreach will be timed to raise awareness of community meetings in January/February, May, and August 2018. Locations and groups will be identified in coordination with County staff and the subconsultant (Vargas & Amigos) on the Project Team who will focus on outreach to the Hispanic community. It is anticipated that much of this outreach will be achieved through the intercept interviews indicated on the previous page at locations such as Sante Fe Mall and the Pickneyville Soccer Complex.
Asian Community Outreach
This outreach will be timed to raise awareness of community meetings in January/February, May, and August 2018. Locations and groups will be identified in coordination with County staff and the subconsultant (Dr. Anna Kim) on the Project Team who will focus on outreach to the Asian community. It is anticipated that much of this outreach will be achieved through the intercept interviews indicated on the previous page at locations such as Assi Plaza and Nam Dae Mun.
Getting the Word Out
Branding
The Project Team has worked with the County Communications Department to create a specific logo for the 2040 Unified Plan. This logo will provide a clear brand for this planning effort and will be used consistently on all documents and communications related to the Plan.
Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan | Appendix B: Community Engagement B-13
Page 11
PROJECT CHARTERSocial Media and Internet
A project website (www.gwinnett2040unifiedplan.com) has been established. Information on the project will be provided to the County Communications staff for posting on the site. This website will allow stakeholders and County residents to provide continuous feedback on the Unified Plan, learn about public meetings, and keep up to the date on the progress of Unified Plan development. The web page will be updated with presentations, findings, results, ideas, surveys, and meeting information to foster an ongoing project conversation.
A Facebook Page (Gwinnett2040UnifiedPlan) is currently under development. Posts will be approved by the County’s Communications Department prior to going public. The Project Team will regularly monitor the Facebook page, provide general responses to common questions and comments from stakeholders, and identify relevant #hashtags to garner interest and interaction and boost followers to expand the reach of the Unified Plan public outreach effort.
Partnering with County Agencies – Technical Advisory Committee
Since the Unified Plan content touches multiple County departments, the Project Team will regularly meet with the Technical Advisory Committee, which consists of at least one liaison from each department affected by the Plan, to ensure that the recommendations align with department goals and objectives. It is also important that public outreach efforts reach stakeholders these departments have identified and worked with. This will be an important part of helping the community understand the rationale for and benefits of bringing the agency plans together under the Unified Plan umbrella. Stakeholders with varying key interests will be able to interact and enrich each other’s perspectives on the County’s future.

PROJECT CHARTERSCOPE OF SERVICES
Phase 1 Information Gathering, Stakeholder Engagement, and Project Planning At the onset of the planning process, Pond will work with our teaming partners and County staff to develop a detailed strategy to perform and publicize the plan. In our opinion, the key to managing a large planning project successfully is to resist the tendency to quickly begin working towards an internal deadline, relying on the advantage and luxury of having large resources to fill in the blank spaces as we go. Instead, we emphasize taking the time on the front end to strategically think about what will make sense in terms of the planning process. What times of the year are best to do community engagement? How does this affect our milestone dates? Are there other County initiatives or outside forces that we may need to be sensitive to? In this first phase, we will spend time with County staff proactively thinking about different options for timing and sensitivity so that we can anticipate the potential consequences of various options. This will save our collective team time and money.
Environmental Scan
The Project Team will prepare an Environmental Scan to document and understand the key issues facing the County. We propose that this include:
Review of the Key Findings report for the 2016 Unified Plan Update: Pond is at the advantage of having authored this document and can use its findings as the basis for additional research. Updated Review of Trends: As the information from the 2016 Unified Plan Update is a few years out of date, Pond will research the continuation of trends and updated facts and figures per the County’s direction.
The summary of this information will be used as the basis for conversation with County staff, project stakeholders, and the general public as appropriate.
Regional Water Plan Review
As dictated in the DCA regulations, the Project Team will coordinate with the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources to appropriately review the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District Plans and the Rules for Environmental Planning Criteria.
Existing Plan Review
Similar to the Environmental Scan, the Project Team will review and coordinate as appropriate to understand the legacy of historic and ongoing planning in the County. This will include a review of the original adopted Unified Plan, the 2016 update, and the various plans for transportation, water resources, and housing that are ongoing or recently completed. Pond and other team members have been involved in many of these efforts and look forward to using our institutional knowledge as part of this process.
Stakeholder Engagement Planning
Stakeholder engagement is a critical component of the comprehensive planning process. Meaningful stakeholder input and feedback is necessary to ensure that the plan reflects the community’s needs and values. At the outset of the project and in concert with the Project Charter, the Project Team will develop a Public Involvement Plan (PIP) that will outline the types of public and stakeholder engagement strategies and schedule for the duration of the project. Led by Inga Kennedy of PEQ, the PIP establishes an outreach and communication strategy that will invite ownership of the plan by all. To effectively accomplish this, the Project Team will:
Leverage visualization tools, maps, infographics and interactive activities to convey complex planning processes and information in an easy to understand format Engage the public and stakeholders in places and at times convenient to them Personalize engagement activities and information to the target audience Support two-way, interactive engagement with stakeholders Utilize proven methods to engage underserved and underrepresented populations Utilize online digital information-gathering tools to broaden the outreach effort
The PIP is included in Pages 7 through 11 of this document.
Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan | Appendix B: Community Engagement B-15
Page 13
PROJECT CHARTERPlanning and Technical Advisory Committees
The Planning Advisory Committee – or Steering Committee – will be established to help guide the 2040 Unified Plan. The Project Team will work closely with the Steering Team to identify members for the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) and Technical Advisory Team (TAT). The TAT will be comprised of County department representatives that bring a technical expertise and perspective to the development of the Plan. TAT members are likely to be chosen from key County departments such as public safety, recreation, transportation, and others as necessary.
The PAC is intended to provide a broad-based community perspective to the Unified Plan. PAC members may include representatives from the business community, community improvement districts (CIDs), neighborhood groups, senior citizen groups, minority groups, as well as others. The TAT and PAC will be invaluable to the identification of the project vision and goals and objectives. Project findings and recommendations will be presented to these committees for input and feedback.
Stakeholder and Public Engagement
The Project Team understands the critical nature of stakeholder and public input and feedback to the success of the Unified Pan. We have extensive experience working with Gwinnett County, Gwinnett municipalities, the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, and the Gwinnett Community Improvement Districts (CIDs). These relationships have resulted in a deep understanding of social and economic issues facing the County. Our outreach effort will include stakeholder interviews intended to solicit more in-depth conversations regarding the needs of the County. We will work with the County to identify a broad range of stakeholders and community leaders, both public and private. These meetings will either be held as small groups or one-on-one as needed. For each stakeholder meeting, we will provide handouts and provide information that is packaged and easy for everyone to understand.
Development of Resources for Engagement Tactics Toolbox
Throughout public and stakeholder engagement, the Pond team will employ a language and theme that will invite ownership of the plan by all stakeholders and leverage visualization tools to assist in conveying abstract planning concepts to the general public that
have been successful in the past. The Project Team will use tactics that will:
Engage residents in places and at times convenient to them Support two-way, interactive engagement with stakeholders
It is becoming increasingly difficult to gather meaningful input and feedback at traditional public meetings. While these meetings still provide value, we believe in putting more emphasis on more innovative, and cost effective, outreach techniques to reach a broader audience. Non-traditional outreach techniques that we believe will provide input needed for decision making include the following:
Project Website. The Pond Team will develop and maintain a project website that is hosted by the County and linked to the County website. This website will be a place for stakeholders and County residents to provide continuous feedback and interact remotely. The website will be continuously updated with presentations, findings, results, ideas, surveys, and meeting information to foster an ongoing project conversation. Social Media (Facebook). As part of continuous engagement with the public, the Project Team will regularly monitor the project Facebook page (Gwinnett2040UnifiedPlan), respond with general posts to common questions and concerns, and identify relevant #hashtags to garner interest and interaction. In addition to continuous monitoring of this account, we will work to boost followers to expand the reach of the Unified Plan. Electronic Newsletters and Updates. Through all engagement activities, we will build a database of stakeholder email addresses to keep them abreast of project progress. Pond has received permission from County staff to use its e-blast capability to communicate with as many residents as possible. These e-blasts will include informational updates as well as links to interactive surveys and the project Facebook page. Surveys. To maximize input, qualitative and quantitative online surveys will be leveraged. These will be distributed to the comprehensive list of project stakeholders as well as through County outreach databases.
Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan | Appendix B: Community Engagement B-16
Page 14
PROJECT CHARTERDigital surveys will be available one-click away via local interest media pages, and e-blasts to residents and businesses. “Living Room Chats.” The Project Team has developed a mechanism for neighbors and neighborhood groups to hold independent conversations regarding the Plan update amongst themselves. This format will include some basic plan information for participant context and a series of open ended questions to spark conversation and input. Intercept Interviews. The Project Team has successfully held several “on-the-street” interviews in order to reach out to community members simply going about their day. Often, this process can be used to target specific types of communities, as we often conduct these interviews at strategic times and locations (popular shopping locations, parent-teacher conference nights, at community events, etc.).
Elected Officials Engagement
Experience has taught us that the appropriate level of engagement with elected officials is vital to the preparation, adoption, and implementation of any plan. While DCA regulations require elected officials to be actively engaged in the Plan’s formal Stakeholder Committee, the Pond Team has worked closely with the County to identify the appropriate level and frequency of generalized engagement with elected officials.
Adjacent and Affected Jurisdictions Outreach
Since the planning process does not occur in a vacuum, the stakeholder and public engagement strategy will include coordination with adjacent and affected jurisdictions. This will include continuing coordination with all of the 16 Gwinnett municipalities to ensure the plan is generally consistent with neighboring communities. We will work closely with the County to determine the frequency and logistics for outreach with the Gwinnett municipalities.
Project Planning
As described earlier, an immediate step in the planning process will be the development of a Project Charter to strategize the overall approach and timing of the Plan update. We anticipate this Project Charter as the mechanism to spark conversation between the Pond team and County staff and will
encourage a work session for us to proactively consider the rollout of the plan.
Public Hearing Presentations
Pond will prepare a presentation to indicate the overall context and format for the Unified Plan to use at the DCA required 1st Public Hearing Presentation on December 19, 2017. We have worked with County staff to determine the appropriate amount of detail to include in this presentation and how it can be leveraged to encourage engagement in later planning activities.

PROJECT CHARTER Phase 2 Community Visioning and Priority Setting Defining the Community Vision
One of the first, and most important, steps of the Unified Plan is to define a community vision and refine the overarching County priorities that will guide the planning and decision making process. While the previous plans will be used as a starting point, this vision needs to be specific for this Unified Plan. The vision will be identified and defined early in the Unified Plan schedule and will be based on input and feedback from the County, Planning Advisory Committee, Technical Advisory Team, elected official input, stakeholder outreach and public meetings. The community vision and overarching priorities will help define the character areas and overall outcomes of the Unified Plan recommendations.
Identifying and Defining Character Areas
The Project Team will work with County staff and community leaders to evaluate existing Overlay Districts, Future Land Use, LCI Planning areas, designated redevelopment areas, and existing Character Areas, to develop recommendations for updated Character Areas that identify unique subareas of the county that have changed since the 2030 Unified Plan. To capture its extraordinary richness and diversity – the things that differentiate each unique part of the county from its neighbors – we believe it is essential to approach this aspect of the plan at a “subarea” level. The previous 2030 plan aggregated information in a county-wide mapping format, and projected growth scenarios based on a statistical “allocation” methodology. While this “big picture overview” perspective is essential, it needs to be compiled from a much more granular look at the dynamics of each of the county’s key “driver” areas. Understanding the development aspirations and potential of these areas in isolation from one another – in all respects (transportation, land use, and economics) - allows us to then build a meaningful picture of how they each can be strengthened and, in turn, can contribute to a stronger overall county development strategy. The eight Statistical Analysis Sub-Areas and “finer geography of TAZ’s” used in the 2030 plan may, in fact, be an appropriate mapping structure for defining subareas, since planning conclusions can then be compared with prior results. However, subarea boundaries might be adjusted based on important factors such as municipal boundaries, school districts, etc. The Project Team anticipates defining up to eight subareas within the County and proposes a much
more hands-on approach to the subarea analysis process, with a targeted stakeholder outreach effort tailored to each subarea. Mapping at the subarea level will analyze “Preservation and Change,” conflating likely concentrations of growth and redevelopment activity with community input on when such changes are desired (and not desired). Pre-existing plans, including those at the municipality, CID, and/or LCI level, will be factored into subarea growth scenarios. If preexisting studies have not done so, smaller area plans will be prepared illustrating the special attributes and potential of such areas. From these subarea building blocks, a “mosaic” will be assembled of how these subareas relate to one another and impact county-wide policies relating to transportation, growth management, and investment. We believe this approach will provide not only a more tangible management/decision-making tool, but also be more accessible to county citizens and businesses as we will build the Future Development Map and character areas from this process. Identify Potential Policy Changes
The Project Team will identify and develop potential policy changes that support the Community Goals of the Unified Plan building on previous goals and any shifting community directions that became apparent during the public participation process. Draft policies will become the starting point for the Implementation Plan and will be categorized by Character Areas, when possible, and include a detailed description, prioritization (either anticipated date of implementation, or a ranking to determine which policies should be implemented first and in what order), responsible parties, any associated costs, and monitoring.

PROJECT CHARTER Phase 3 Strategy Development Community SWOT Analysis
The Project Team anticipates using the information gathered from the Environmental Scan as an education piece before holding a series of SWOT exercises. Formally, the DCA requires a SWOT analysis with the formal stakeholder group, but we see the value of holding SWOT or SWOT like discussions in internal meetings with County staff and as part of the overall community engagement approach. Our team will use the cumulative results of this process to define the DCA required Needs and Opportunities component of the plan.
Economic Development Review
This task will overlap somewhat with components of the Environmental Scan, where we propose research on the micro and macro economic trends impacting the future of Gwinnett County. In terms of the plan development, we anticipate a deeper review of economic conditions within the eight subareas that we will define as part of the “Preservation and Change” analysis (as documented in the Phase 2 scope section Identifying and Defining Character Areas on Page 12) and the development of overall Economic Development and fiscal impact strategies as part of the smaller area plans.
Incorporation of CTP
The Transportation Element of the Unified Plan will largely be defined by the County’s ongoing CTP and other transportation studies in the County. Our team includes the institutional knowledge of the CTP’s prime firm (Kimley-Horn) and Pond (who led the technical travel demand modeling tasks and bicycle and pedestrian element) and Bleakly (who tied transportation investments to economic development). Our team will include the appropriate information from the CTP in the Unified Plan for consistency and cross-referencing.
Incorporation of Housing Plan
The Project Team will coordinate with the team developing the Consolidated Housing Plan to incorporate the appropriate detail and summarized information for inclusion in the Unified Plan.
Incorporation of Other Plans and Needs & Opportunities
The Project Team will also incorporate other applicable plans (LCIs, small area transportation studies, etc.) as appropriate for consideration in the Unified Plan process. Our proposed subarea process dovetails well with this need, as we can combine the outcomes of that process with these other individual plans to build the mosaic of an overall Unified Plan.
The DCA required Needs and Opportunities will be built directly from the SWOT analyses and will be used to prioritize the evaluation of recommended initiatives in the 5 Year Action Plan and other recommendations.
Creation of Character Area Map
Building from the mosaic of smaller area plans, the Project Team will develop a Character Area Map that graphically shows the different Character Areas in the county. The Character Area Map will be generated using GIS with data layers in the form of ESRI shapefiles. Prioritization of Needs and Opportunities We anticipate a formal PAC meeting where our team will collectively finalize the ‘official’ Needs and Opportunities to be documented in the Unified Plan. This process will also include a consensus building exercise to understand the relative importance (high, medium, or low) of each Need or Opportunity to the committee. As indicated previously, the resulting prioritization of needs and opportunities will be the basis for evaluating the various initiatives recommended in the Unified Plan. Strategy Development Building from the Needs and Opportunities and the subarea planning efforts, the Project Team will identify various initiatives to address the prioritized issues identified. These initiatives are anticipated to address all of the major elements of the plan as well as the various departments within the Gwinnett County government.

PROJECT CHARTER
Phase 4 Tactical Planning Creation of a 5-year Action Plan
As part of the Short-Term Work Program (STWP), the Pond team will take the initiatives identified in the Strategy Development phase of the planning process to develop specific actions for the County to consider and implement. Each action plan item shall include benchmarks to measure progress and address the needs and opportunities identified through the SWOT analysis. The action plan for each strategy will include the following:
Focal point of the activity, based on the required elements of the Unified Plan (i.e. land use, economic development, housing, etc.) with a brief description If applicable, the legal authorization for the activity Timeframe for accomplishing the strategy Party responsible for implementation of the strategy Estimated cost and appropriate funding source Key performance indicators
Compilation of 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan
As Gwinnett County does not currently have an impact fee ordinance, there is no regulatory requirement with DCA for the County to prepare a Capital Improvements Element as part of the Unified Plan. Nonetheless, the Pond Team will coordinate with County staff to determine the appropriateness of developing a Capital Improvement Plan and if determined to be appropriate, prepare the element.

PROJECT CHARTER
Phase 5 Submission and Review of Plan Document Writing the Draft Plan
The Project Team will compile the planning activities and document recommendations and results consistent with DCA requirements. In doing so, our Team recognizes that even the greatest planning effort and process can be thwarted if it is documented in a boring, static report. Our Team has a strong commitment to simplifying complicated information in accessible and informative ways and will prepare the Unified Plan to find the balance between documenting the process and communicating information so that the resulting plan doesn’t simply sit on your shelves for the next five years. In preparing the plan document, we consider that the plan has to be formatted and organized in a way that is useable by you (County staff and decision makers) as an ongoing reference. Second, it has to be engaging - often through infographics and mapping - to be understandable and accessible to engaged members of your community. In developing the plan document, we will apply the importance of aesthetics, effective layouts, and intuitive graphics.
Publicity of Approved Draft Plan
As indicated in our overall approach, we envision a specific round of community outreach to occur with the development of the draft plan to publicize its creation. Activities during these meetings will be developed to solicit final feedback on the overall recommendations and considerations in the Plan document and incorporated appropriately. Additionally, we anticipate exploring with County staff additional methods for publicity and input such as holding a public comment period, addressing the County Planning Commission, and holding work sessions with the Board of Commissioners.
Presentation of Plan at 2nd Public Hearing
Pond will summarize the plan’s recommendations and considerations as part of a presentation to be held as part of DCA’s required 2nd Public Hearing. Traditionally, this Public Hearing is used as a mechanism for the Board of Commissioners to approve submitting the plan for DCA and ARC review. As indicated previously, we believe a round of outreach prior to the 2nd Public Hearing will be appropriate to make sure final comments are incorporated and addressed appropriately into the planning document.
Submission of Approved Draft Plan
Pond will assist the County in submitting the Board of Commissioner’s Approved Draft Plan for ARC and DCA review. This will consist of submitting the actual planning document as well as any background materials or technical information such as GIS. The Project Team and County planning staff have identified October 23, 2018 as the target date for BOC approval of the draft plan for submittal.
Plan Revisions
Pond will coordinate with County staff to determine any appropriate revisions to incorporate based on ARC and DCA comments. Typically, these comments are arranged to indicate which comments are necessary to comply with DCA standards and which ones are merely suggestive. Certainly, our goal will be to minimize the number of comments received during this review. Nonetheless, the Project Team will refine the plan document to incorporate DCA comments as appropriate.
Preparation of Final Approved Plan for Board Adoption
Though unlikely, the Pond Team will coordinate with County staff to determine if any changes from the ARC/DCA review are substantive enough that the Board of Commissioners should be made aware of the pending refinements in order to gather any final input before the plan is prepared for Board adoption. The Project Team and County planning staff anticipate adoption of the final 2040 Unified Plan on February 5, 2019.

Following is a summary of discussion, questions/responses, and comments during the presentation: o Will the cities be involved in the Unified Plan process? Eric responded that there will be
coordination with the cities, but the County cannot plan land use for the cities and vice versa. o What is the total population of the cities? Approximately 250,000 people o What about including the schools? Nancy responded that there is a PAC member
representative from Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS), but they could not attend tonight’s meeting. Eric stated that the Unified Plan does not specifically include planning for schools.
o The new laws affecting undocumented workers have caused a decrease in population in the Jimmy Carter Boulevard area.
o Are there numbers for homelessness? Eric stated it is difficult to get an accurate count of homeless people.

Policy Review In this exercise, PAC members viewed a series of sheets (provided in Attachment C) summarizing the policies from the currently adopted Unified Plan and the percentage of PAC members, general public members, and Citizens’ Academy members that believed they were still relevant. In small groups, PAC members discussed their thoughts on those policies where overall consensus or agreement was not indicated. Policy 1.2 – Protect Large, Well-Located Parcels/Areas for Office Use through Proactive Zoning Discussion: PAC members indicated that the office park model is no longer viable, and it is not necessary to proactively zone land specifically for office use. Workers want a mixed-use environment now, with offices within walking distance of restaurants and small retail (convenience store/snack shop, newsstand, dry cleaners, etc.), preferably within the same development. Policy 1.4 – Use Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) for Rural-Estate Housing in the East Discussion: Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs) has been abandoned by the County. Overall, PAC members advised that this policy should be removed. Policy 1.5 – Revise Current Millage Rates Discussion: At the time the County was creating the 2030 Unified Plan, the Board of Commissioners had been lowering the rate for political reasons, and there was concern the County would not generate enough income to operate. Overall, PAC members advised that this policy should be removed. Policy 1.6 – Promote University Parkway (SR 316) as Gwinnett’s Research & Development Belt Discussion: The groups had various opinions on Hwy. 316 as Gwinnett’s Research & Development Belt. One group stated that once Gwinnett County abandoned expansion of its airport, it removed the possibility of 316 becoming a viable R&D corridor. Another group felt that promoting this concept west of Lawrenceville, near Gwinnett Technical College, would work. A final group felt that if the County changes its sewer policy to include expansion of the system to the east towards Athens, the R&D Corridor will grow, and the County should keep this as a policy. Policy 1.8 – Obtain Appropriate Balance of Retail Discussion: At the time of the 2030 Unified Plan’s adoption, the U.S. economy was coming out of the Great Recession, so there was more of a focus on the need to grow retail. The general feeling amongst all the groups is that the focus should be on retail as part of mixed use developments vs. retail centers and shopping malls. The increase in online shopping will also affect the need for store fronts for retail businesses. Policy 2.5 – Allow “Corner Stores” within Specific Medium/Higher Density Areas as “Floating Zones” Discussion: PAC members felt that members of the public may not have understood what this policy meant. The policy of promoting retail stores (grocery/convenience stores, or otherwise) to be within walking distance or a short drive from residential areas, regardless of the density, is a good one. Policy 4.1 – Establish and Provide Access to More Executive Housing Areas Discussion: PAC members agreed that it is no longer necessary to proactively zone large “swaths” of land for low density or estate residential. Policy 5.8 – Use Development Regulations to Create Local Parks Policy 5.9 – Acquire Surplus Industrial or Commercial Sites for Open Space/Recreation Discussion: PAC members felt that the County has already done a great job of carving out park space, and it is not necessary to actively promote large parks or buy out land otherwise zoned for other uses to create parks. Instead, the County should work towards creating connections to the existing parks through trails.

Needs & Opportunities In this exercise, PAC members reviewed a series of ‘needs’ & ‘opportunities’ identified by the PAC, members of the general public, and other assorted outreach events the planning team had participated in. PAC members were provided dots and were asked to place them accordingly next to the identified ‘needs’ and ‘opportunities’ they felt were most critical. The results are indicated in the tables below and on the following page.

Living Room Chat In small groups, PAC members completed their own Living Room Chats, an outreach discussion tool developed by the planning team. These ‘chats’ are intended to spur discussion over the course of seven questions covering Gwinnett County’s past, present, and future. The raw results are provided in Attachment D and have been entered into a database with other Living Room Chats being conducted as part of the planning process.

concluding presentation The PAC reconvened for a final presentation indicating preliminary results of the analysis process developed for the plan called ‘Opportunity for Change’. These preliminary results were collected from the first round of community meetings and were compared to the Urban Scale and Change & Preserve exercises conducted with the PAC earlier in the evening. The meeting concluded with a summary of next steps and announcements related to the project’s online survey, encouragement for PAC members to hold their own Living Room Chats, and the upcoming open houses scheduled to begin in late April.

PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE POLICY DISCUSSION
March 8, 2018 3:00 – 5:00 PM SUMMARY:
1.2 – PAC members indicated that the office park model is no longer viable, and it is not necessary to proactively zone land specifically for office use. Workers want a mixed-use environment now, with offices within walking distance of restaurants and small retail (convenience store/snack shop, newsstand, dry cleaners, etc.), preferably within the same development. 1.4 – Transfer of Development Rights (TDRs) has been abandoned by the County. This policy should be removed. 1.5 – At the time the County was creating the 2030 Unified Plan, the Board of Commissioners had been lowering the rate for political reasons, and there was concern the County would not generate enough income to operate. This policy should be removed. 1.6 – The groups had various opinions on Hwy. 316 as Gwinnett’s Research & Development Belt. One group stated that once Gwinnett County abandoned expansion of its airport, it removed the possibility of 316 becoming a viable R&D corridor. Another group felt that promoting this concept west of Lawrenceville, near Gwinnett Technical College, would work. A final group felt that if the County changes its sewer policy to include expansion of the system to the east towards Athens, the R&D Corridor will grow, and the County should keep this as a policy. 1.8 – At the time of the 2030 Unified Plan’s adoption, the U.S. economy was coming out of the Great Recession, so there was more of a focus on the need to grow retail. The general feeling amongst all the groups is that the focus should be on retail as part of mixed use developments vs. retail centers and shopping malls. The increase in online shopping will also affect the need for store fronts for retail businesses. 2.5 – PAC members felt that members of the public may not have understood what this policy meant. The policy of promoting retail stores (grocery/convenience stores, or otherwise) to be within walking distance or a short drive from residential areas, regardless of the density, is a good one. 4.1 – PAC members agreed that it is no longer necessary to proactively zone large “swaths” of land for low density or estate residential. 5.8 & 5.9 – PAC members felt that the County has already done a great job of carving out park space, and it is not necessary to actively promote large parks or buy out land otherwise zoned for other uses in order to create parks. Instead, the County should work towards creating connections to the existing parks through trails.

Attachment D Emerging Guiding Philosophies
Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan | Appendix B: Community Engagement B-324
June 14, 2018 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM As PAC members arrived, they were asked to sign-in (provided in Attachment A). Kathy Holland (Planning & Development Director, Gwinnett County) convened the meeting and welcomed everyone, stating that this is the fourth and final meeting of the Planning Advisory Committee (PAC). She thanked the committee members for their service, emphasizing the importance of the Unified Plan to help shape the County over the next several years. She added that there is another round of community open houses in August as well as an open house for PAC members where they will be invited to review displays showing a summary of the content of the final draft of the plan. She then introduced Eric Lusher (Project Manager, Pond). opening presentation Eric Lusher thanked attendees for coming to the meeting and then gave a presentation, included in Attachment B, addressing the following topics:
Project Recap Results of Round 2 Meetings Review of Character Areas and Future Development Map Changes Next Steps
interactive exercise Towards the end of the presentation, Eric invited PAC members to view four posters (Attachment C) displayed on the walls around the conference room which described the proposed Character Areas and illustrated the areas of the County where they are located on the Future Development Map. PAC members were invited to provide comments on post-it notes or express their comments or concerns to members of the Consultant Team stationed at each poster. The Character Areas fall into the following categories:
Activity Centers Employment Centers Residential Neighborhoods Low Density Living
conclusion of presentation The PAC reconvened for a few minutes for Eric to go over the next steps in the Unified Plan process. He also announced that the PAC Open House would be held on Tuesday, August 7th from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM, and encouraged members to attend one of the community open houses, and to help spread the word about them to their respective networks. He thanked everyone again for attending the meeting.

Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan | Appendix B: Community Engagement B-393
gwinnettcountyUna publicación mensual del gobierno del condado de Gwinnett
CONNECTIONFEBRERO de 2018
ARTÍCULO DESTACADO
Ayude a diseñar el futuro del condado a través del Plan Unificado 2040 de GwinnettEl momento para ejercer la mayor influencia es mientras los planes se forman. El condado de Gwinnett se encuentra en las primeras etapas de elaboración de su Plan Unificado 2040, que determinará cómo el uso de la tierra, el transporte, la vivienda y el desarrollo económico trabajan en conjunto en el condado.
El Plan Unificado, denominado plan integral en otras jurisdicciones, combina otros planes diferentes en unmodelo coordinado y operativo para ayudar a muchas agencias del condado a diseñar políticas futuras. Para crear mejor un plan que refleje los anhelos de la comunidad, el condado de Gwinnett reco-gerá opiniones del público para tener una visión amplia y a largo plazo a fin de guiar el crecimiento y desarrollo durante los próximos 22 años, así como una lista a corto plazo de proyectos y programas.
Haga oír su voz a través de una de las diferentes jornadas de puer-tas abiertas, encuestas en línea o conversaciones de salón.
Para ver las fechas y los horarios de las jornadas de puertas abiertas o para obtener más información sobre el plan,
visite www.Gwinnett2040UnifiedPlan.com y siga a Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan en Facebook. Envíe sus inquietudes por correo
electrónico a [email protected].
Haga su propio barril para aguas pluviales y ahorre agua, dinero en efectivoEl riego representa casi la mitad del consumo promedio de agua de un propietario durante el verano. Si está buscando maneras de reducir el consumo de agua, no use agua potable para regar las plantas; junte agua de lluvia en un barril y use esa agua para regar.
Los barriles para aguas pluviales son fáciles de instalar y mantener. Muchos ya vienen armados desde la tienda o bien, puede comprar un kit y un barril para hacer uno. El Departamento de Recursos Hí-dricos de Gwinnett puede incluso ayudarlo a hacer uno en nuestros talleres de barril para aguas pluviales. Instale el barril al lado de un bajante pluvial en forma de canaleta y cerca de plantas que se deban regar regularmente. Pinte el barril para conservarlo y bloquear el sol. Puede ser una capa simple de imprimador, o puede convertirlo en un proyecto de arte. Drene y limpie el barril con una pequeña canti-dad de lejía una vez al año. Durante el invierno, posiblemente desee desconectar el barril para aguas pluviales o, al menos, drenarlo no bien se llene para evitar el congelamiento.
Una vez instalado su barril para aguas pluviales, está listo para of-recer agua de lluvia renovable y sin costo para regar el césped o el jardín. Usar un barril para aguas pluviales para el riego ayuda a mejorar la calidad del agua en arroyos y lagos dado que reduce las escorrentías de las aguas pluviales, que también ayuda a proteger los bancos de los arroyos de la erosión y permite reducir las inun-daciones localizadas. Dado que de la manguera del jardín sale agua tratada y potable, usar un barril para aguas pluviales ayuda a conser-var nuestro recurso principal de agua potable, Lake Lanier.
Si está interesado en obtener más información sobre los barriles para aguas pluviales, venga al taller de barriles para aguas pluviales que dicta el Departamento de Recursos Hídricos el 17 de febrero en Grayson Senior Center. Para registrarse, visite la página “Even-tos” en www.gwinnetth2o.com o inscríbase en el taller de barriles para aguas pluviales que se dictará en julio.

Nuevos servicios para Alexander ParkUn nuevo parque para perros, un área para los días de campo, un patio de juegos y más espacios se agregarán al parque Alexander Park de 132 acres de Gwinnett en Old Snellville Highway, sur de Lawrenceville.
El proyecto incluye una nueva entrada desde Scenic Highway, 325 lugares de estacionamiento adicionales, un pabellón, un patio de juegos, nuevas conexiones de tren, una edificación de baños y un refugio para pasar un día de campo. El parque para perros de dos acres contará con un área separada para perros pequeños. La finan-ciación provendrá de los programas SPLOST 2014 y 2017aprobados por los votantes.
Los planes futuros para el parque incluyen la creación de una reser-va natural en aproximadamente 40 acres de tierra que el condado compró el año pasado. Aún no se ha definido un cronograma para ese proyecto.
El gobierno del condado de Gwinnett auspicia muchos eventos, clases y talleres para sus residentes. Vea estos y otros eventos en

COMISIONADO FISCAL
Acuérdese de su mascota en un desastreLa mayoría de nosotros consideramos a las mascotas parte de la familia. Nos hacen compañía, nos ayudan a mantenernos en forma y en nuestro sano juicio. Pero en caso de una emergencia, suele no estar permitido que las mascotas acompañen a sus familias a un refugio. Es bueno tener un plan para nuestros amigos de cuatro patas cuando uno queda atrapado por un desastre o cuando debe abandonar la ciudad de forma imprevista. Considere la posibilidad de armar también un bolso de viaje con los objetos esenciales para su mascota.
• Coordine con un amigo o vecino de confianza para evacuar o cuidar a su mascota si usted no está cerca.
• Asegúrese de que su mascota tenga un microchip.
• Coloque alimento para, al menos, tres días en un recipiente hermético e impermeable.
• Empaque medicamentos y otros documentos importantes.
• Recuerde empacar granulado higiénico para mascotas y una caja para granulado, si corresponde.
• Tenga consigo una fotografía de usted con su mascota en caso de que se deban separar. Incluya la especie, raza, edad, sexo, color y las características distintivas.
• Empaque objetos familiares, como golosinas, juguetes y su cucha.
• Localice internados u hospitales para animales en el área cerca de su
• refugio de evacuación.

County Commission approves contract to expand transit, sets voter referendum date
Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan | Appendix B: Community Engagement B-413
The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners on Wednesday approved a contract with the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority to operate and expand Gwinnett's transit system in accordance with the recently approved Connect Gwinnett Transit Development Plan. The board also passed a motion putting the contract on the ballot in a March 19, 2019, special election for voter consideration. Voters in March 2019 will be asked to say yes or no to the contract negotiated with the Authority. As dictated by state law, the ballot question shall read: "Gwinnett County has executed a contract for the provision of transit services, dated as of August 2, 2018. Shall this contract be approved? YES ___ NO ___." If voters approve the contract, a 1 percent sales tax then would be assessed starting July 1, 2019, to help cover the cost of operations, improvements, and equipment. The sales tax proceeds combined with federal funds and fare box collections will fund the transit expansion. Bonds are also allowed and can help spread the costs for large capital projects. The bond debt would be repaid over time with proceeds from the transit sales tax. Under the contract, future transit projects would follow the Connect Gwinnett Transit Development Plan, which took into account input from residents, businesses, a technical committee of experts, stakeholders, planners, and others. The transit plan was approved by the Board of Commissioners on July 17 of this year.
Bond rating agencies give Gwinnett County top grades for management, fiscal policies
All three bond rating agencies have once again given Gwinnett County a AAA/Aaa bond rating, the highest possible, placing Gwinnett in the top 2 percent of counties in the nation for fiscal soundness. This marks the 21st consecutive year Gwinnett has held this distinction. The stellar rating allows the County to issue or refinance bonds at favorable rates, which reduces the interest paid by taxpayers. Gwinnett County is one of fewer than 50 counties of approximately 3,000 counties nationwide to have a Triple AAA bond rating. The latest rating came after the County's financial management practices and financial results went through intense review by analysts from S&P Global, Moody's Investors Service, and Fitch Ratings. In determining a government's ratings, the rating agencies do a thorough review of a government's finances, operations, and policies. The rating review came as the County, through its Development Authority, seeks to go to the bond market to issue $96.1 million in bonds to fund construction at the Infinite Energy Center, including expansion of the conference center, a new parking deck, and other improvements on the campus. This is the first construction bond issue by Gwinnett County in nearly 10 years.
School starts Monday so don't pass stopped buses and watch for kids at bus stops
Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan | Appendix B: Community Engagement B-414
Gwinnett County Public Schools kicks off the 2018-2019 school year on Monday, August 6, and motorists are advised to give GCPS buses plenty of room and time to pick up and drop off students before and after school. Watch for amber and red flashing lights that indicate a stopped school bus. GCPS has placed cameras on about 300 buses to photograph drivers who illegally pass school buses. When the school bus amber or red lights are flashing, the system automatically detects vehicles passing the stopped school bus and records the violation. The violator will receive a citation in the mail. In spring 2018, GCPS bus drivers conducted a one-day count of vehicles that
passed stopped buses. They counted more than 2,000 violations in just one day. For more information, please see our video on school bus safety.
Gwinnett to offer free disposal of household hazardous waste on August 11
Household hazardous waste materials can potentially contaminate water resources and pollute the air. To help protect the environment and ease the burden on Gwinnett residents, the County's Fiscal and Solid Waste Management Division, Department of Water Resources, and Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful are partnering to host the County's first Household Hazardous Waste Recycling Event on August 11. Residents can drop off five containers each of household hazardous waste for free. The event is limited to Gwinnett residents and proof of residency may be required. Materials accepted at the event include cleaners, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs and ballasts, lawn care products, oils, paints, and pesticides. The event runs from 9:00am to noon at the Department of Water Resources Central Facility at 684 Winder Highway in Lawrenceville. For a full list of acceptable items, visit www.gcsolidwaste.com.
2040 Unified Plan maps, policies on display at open houses August 13 through August 30
The 2040 Unified Plan and the Future Development Map are scheduled to be available for viewing, review, and public feedback during a series of community open house sessions from August 13 to August 30. The Department of Planning and Development and its consultant Pond & Company will present draft goals or themes relating to economic development, redevelopment, transportation, and other issues along with
policies to help achieve those goals. This presentation is a big-picture look at how the county could develop over the next 22 years. There will be maps of various areas of the county that will include broad descriptions of uses allowed, such as residential and commercial levels and possible transportation improvements. The community open houses will also feature displays showing the Needs and Opportunities, recommendations, policies, and Future Development Map that will be included in the plan. This input process is not just limited to the general public. Gwinnett County has gained input from elected officials, interviews with residents, business and community leaders, various committees, County sponsored booths at community events, and more.

Gwinnett animal shelter offering August adoption specials, including Free Fridays
The Gwinnett County animal shelter is offering a $20 adoption special in August for dogs and cats ready to take home. Specials also include free adoptions every Friday. Adoption fees are typically $90 for dogs and $30 for cats. Many dogs and cats up for adoption at the shelter have already been examined by Animal Welfare staff veterinarians, vaccinated, and neutered or spayed, so they are ready to go home on the day of adoption. The shelter is extending its hours on Thursdays from 6:00pm to 8:00pm into the fall. Ice cream socials will be held on the last Thursday of each month through October where visitors can meet available pets and enjoy free ice cream.

Gwinnett County Bicentennial Moment - Graves at the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse
The bodies of eight militia soldiers killed fighting the Creek Indians are buried in the northwest corner of the Gwinnett Historic Courthouse. In the early 19th century, white settlers in Gwinnett County had pushed the native Creek Indians across the Chattahoochee River. In 1836, the Creeks began attacking settlements along Georgia-Alabama border. Georgia Governor William Schley called for volunteers. Capt. Hammond Garmany and his mounted volunteers left Lawrenceville on May 26, 1836, and was mustered into the United States Army after arriving June 3. A few days later, 25 militiamen were dispatched to a fort about 40 miles south of Columbus. On June 9, 1836, the militia heard shots and went to investigate. They found the Creek were about to attack. During the ensuing battle, Garmany was seriously wounded. Reinforcements arrived and attacked the Native Americans, killing 30 or more. Eight of Garmany's company were killed and four wounded. The dead Gwinnett County volunteers were buried with military honors in a common grave on February 17, 1837, in the northwest corner of the courthouse yard. In 1840, a marble monument was erected on the site. Visit the Gwinnett Historical Society webpage at www.gwinnetths.org to learn more about Gwinnett County history.

Category Community Name Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan Username [email protected] Start Date December 19, 2019 Email [email protected] Website www.Gwinnett2040UnifiedPlan.com Story The Gwinnett County Department of Planning & Development has begun
work on the County’s 2040 Unified Plan. The purpose of the Unified Plan is to provide a framework of how the County’s residents and other stakeholders want to see it grow and develop over the next 20+ years. While future land use is an important aspect of the Plan, it also addresses the County’s needs, opportunities, goals, and vision; community work program; transportation, housing, and economic development; natural and cultural resources; and community facilities and capital improvements.

Overview As part of the Gwinnett Unified 2040 Plan public involvement strategy, three rounds of community open houses have been scheduled to occur at various stages of the project schedule. The following memo provides an overview of the Round 1 and Round 2 meetings, including an overview of the information presented, exercises held, as well as general results from the meeting exercises. Additional information, including sign-in sheets, board scans, and photos, can be found in the appendices attached. Attendance Close to 200 people attended the ten meetings of the Round 1 and Round 2 Community Open Houses. Table 1 below provides a breakdown the meeting dates and locations, and Table 2 breaks down the attendees by meeting. Appendix A includes the Sign-in sheets from the individual meetings.
The first two rounds of community meetings, marketed as “Community Open Houses,” for the Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan were held in early 2018. Each round was comprised of five meetings, which were held at various locations throughout the county. The locations for meetings were selected after conversations with County staff and based on venue availability. Figure 1 and Figure 2 below show the locations of Round 1 and Round 2 Community Open Houses. All meetings were held from 5:00 pm- 7:00 PM.

Once dates were selected for each round of meetings, information regarding the open houses was disseminated to the public using various social media platforms and other marketing tools. The meeting dates were published on the Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan website, as well as publicized through several posts on the plan’s Facebook page. Fact sheets were designed for each round of meetings in both English and Spanish and distributed at Unified Plan events or other county initiatives. Advertisements for the meetings were also published in the Gwinnett Daily Post and several community newsletters. Table 3 below provides a breakdown on how attendees were informed of the community meetings.

All the community meetings were held in an “open house” format, where attendees were encouraged to come by at their leisure and participate in the exercises provided. No formal presentations were given at the community open houses. Below is a description of the stations and exercises conducted during the round one community open houses. Scans of the exercise boards are included in Appendix B.

Round 1 Community Open Houses Station 1. What’s a Unified Plan? This introductory station provided attendees with general information regarding the Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan. This information included an overview of the unified plan process, project schedule, and demographic trends gathered as part of the plan’s environmental scan. Station 2. Tell Us Your Vision (Exercise #1) This station was geared at obtaining preliminary feedback on the county’s vision, particularly in terms of the specific policies related to the previous plan’s five elements. Using dots, participants were asked to read the policies from the 2030 unified plan and indicate whether each policy was:
“Still Relevant” – Policy is still relevant today “No Longer Relevant” – Policy is no longer relevant today “Needs Refinement” – Policy is still relevant, but needs to be reexamined
Table 4 below presents the results of the vision exercise, particularly in terms of how respondents agreed with the 2030 plan policies.

Station 3. Big Ideas (Exercise #2) In this station, participants were shown a list of needs and opportunities that were identified by the Unified Plan Planning Advisory Committee (PAC). They were asked to provide additional needs and/or opportunities that they felt were relevant today. Participants were also asked to place dots next to any needs or opportunities they agreed with. Table 5 and Table 6 below shows the Top 10 Needs and Opportunities selected by attendees of the Round 1 and 2 Community Open Houses.

Station 4. Plan the Future (Exercise #3). This station was comprised of two exercises, titled “Change & Preserve” and “Urban Scale”. In the “Change & Preserve” exercise, attendees were shown an aerial map of Gwinnett County, labeled with various landmarks and points on interest for context. Participants were asked to place green dots in areas where they believed the existing character of the county should be preserved, and red dots in areas where the existing character should change. In the ‘Urban Scale’ exercise, participants were asked to provide further feedback on the areas in the county they identified during the “Change & Preserve” activity. Participants were first shown a diagram of the conservation to urban transect, a visual representation of land use and density at various scales. Figure 3 below is of the transect. It is important to note that the scales reflected in the transect are simply a general represenation of development and density.
Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan | Appendix B: Community Engagement B-446
Page 7
Using dots associated with each level of development, participants were asked to indicate on a county aerial map the scale of development they thought was appropriate in certain areas. Figure 4 and Figure 5 below present maps of the aggreate results of the Change & Preseve and Urban Scale Exercises during the Round 1 Community Open Houses. The results of this exercise from the individual meetings is included in Appendix B.
Overall, strong preferences for change were noted in areas in the Western portion of the county, particularly along the I-85 corridor and near notable points of interest (i.e. Gwinnett Place Mall, Infiinte Energy Arena, etc.). Other notable corridors (US 78, SR 20) were also identified as areas with the most opportunity to change. This is in contrast to the northern portion of the county, where there was the least preference for change.
conservation urban centersuburban
Gwinnett 2040 Unified Plan | Appendix B: Community Engagement B-447
Page 8
In terms of land use and density preferences, the results from the first round of meetings illustrate that denser development is desired in the Western portion of the county. Extreme eastern and Southern portions of the county are desired to be maintained as relatively low-density development. When these results are compared to those of the Change & Preserve exercise, some similarites are evident. The areas indicated as most likely to change were also areas identified as having the most dense level of development (i.e. urban scale). Alternatively, areas with strong prefences for conservation were also areas that received higher prefernece for a rual-type character. Timeline Exercise As attendees emtered or existed the meeting, they were encouraged to take a look at a timeline of the county’s history, and provide thoughts on how they envision Gwinnett County in 2040. Figure 6 and Figure 7 below show the timelines from the Round 1 and Round 2 meetings.

Round 2 Community Open Houses Several of the stations and exercises during round 1 of community open houses (i.e. What’s a Unified Plan, Tell Us Your Vision, Plan the Future) were also held during round 2 to gather as much feedback as possible. The following stations discussed relate to the new exercises unique to this round of meetings. Participants who attended round one meetings and participated in previous exercises were not required to participate again. Below are descriptions of the new exercises. Station. Guiding Philosophies In this exercise, participants were shown a list of six guiding philosophies that were developed from conversations with county staff and the Planning Advisory Committee. They were then asked to vote on whether they agreed or disagreed with each Guiding Philosophy as written. If participants had any additional comments related to the guiding philosophies, they were asked to write them on comment forms provided. Table 7 provides a list of the guiding philosophies, and Figure 8 shows how the guiding philosophies were received by attendees.

Table 7. Guiding Philosophies
G1. Encourage redevelopment in key areas while still allowing for greenfield development opportunities G2. Preserve the character of areas that are still relatively undeveloped G3. Encourage development to be more nodal than linear G4. Incorporate and integrate ‘office’ areas into mixed use districts G5. Use character areas to establish transitional areas G6. Use ‘urban scale’ to communicate and articulate implied densities and character
Station. Future Development Map Considerations The purpose of this station was to present attendees with various preliminary considerations the planning team has developed regarding updating the county’s future development map (FDM). Five preliminary considerations were presented, and attendees had the opportunity to indicate additional changes they thought should be made to the FDM. Station. Community Assets – Names In this exercise, participants were provided a map of the county with 22 unincorporated areas of the county. For each area, several names were shown, many of which relate to historic town centers, points of interest, and other attractions. Participants were asked to vote on which names they believed were most relevant to each area or add additional names where appropriate. Overall, the purpose of this exercise was to develop a better understanding of unincorporated areas of Gwinnett County. Figure 9 below shows the names of each unincorporated area that received the highest number of votes.
