About Jared is an urban planner passionate about the intersection of the built environment and people. His experience has led him to work in academia, commercial real estate development, and public sector planning. Jared believes that, given the right tools, everyday people can make decisions about the future of the built environment. Jared works to ensure that everyday people understand have those right tools whether they be zoning code explained in plain language, knowing the impacts of parking on building costs and affordability, or simply having a robust discussion about change. Jared doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just think about places and how people interact with them professionally. One of his favorite activities is traveling and getting lost with intention. He calls it urban exploration, letting the city guide him to a destination. He also enjoys photography, eating at new restaurants, and spending long hours in galleries and museums.

Chat with a Planner Location: Boston, MA Year: 2018 - Present Project Type: Engagement Team: Jared Staley, creator Varies

Jared Staley

The BPDA’s “Chat with a Planner” is a series of small, hightouch engagements with community members. After a significant demonstration during the PLAN: Glover’s Corner planning initiative and two months into his role, Jared took on leading the planning team in thinking critically about how the Agency does engagement. “Chat with a Planner” is an opportunity for community members to talk to planners about ongoing planning initiatives, pick up materials from a previous meeting, and provide additional feedback. These are meant to be a more relaxed way to interact with the community and attract new folks to the process. “Chat with a Planner” is an umbrella for other engagements like “Popsicles with a Planner,” “Pupusas with a Planner,” “Pins with a Planner,” and others.

Housing Preferences and Trade-offs Location: Glover’s Corner, Dorchester, Boston, MA Year: 2018 Project Type: Mobile Engagement Team: Jared Staley, creator P. Hu, support PLAN: Glover’s Corner

Jared Staley

Part of the challenge with Chat with a Planner is transforming evening workshop material and activities to a more mobilefriendly version. After a housing-focused meeting with PLAN: Glover’s, Jared used a “Guess Who” game board to develop a housing preference survey. With each of the tabs in the upward position, community members could respond to a question on a scale of 1 to 8. The questions focused on target incomes for affordability, height of buildings, and amount of parking. These were the most discussed themes associated with housing development that all have an impact on overall affordability.

Jared Staley

PLAN: Mattapan is a long-range planning study focused on the 02126 ZIP Code area of Mattapan. PLAN: Mattapan is currently working toward development scenarios to show the community that will influence the long-term planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outcomes of design guidelines, zoning, and other city policies. Officially kicked-off in October 2018, the planning process began with confirming outcomes from past plans, value and goal setting with the community, and bringing City of Boston resources to the community. In addition, the planning process is responsible for capacity building to ensure that the public is providing informed feedback. Finally, the PLAN: Mattapan team also works to implement short-term items that were discussed in previous plans and those that arise during the planning process.

Jared leads workshops, facilitates conversations, and produces materials for meetings and workshops. The guide below was designed by Jared, but the basemap was developed by BPDA’s GIS team.

As part of the capacity building through PLAN: Mattapan Jared developed and is developing booklets like these to explain some of the intricacies of planning. Jared put this booklet together, however, maps and graphs were produced by other BPDA departments.

Jared Staley

Synthesizing feedback in order to move the process forward is critical. Jared also works to ensure that community input helps shape the process of PLAN: Mattapan as it progresses. These show some of the feedback the PLAN: Mattapan provided and a glimpse of how early feedback was synthesized. Portfolio 2020

Jared Staley

Kinnear Road is in dire need of revitalization, raising its standards to match those of the University to which it is closely related. The standards of the world-ranked research park residing on the stretch and the standards of the thousands of employees, residents, faculty and students need to find balance. A reconstruction of the road system, implementation of public transport, sidewalks, amenities and sustainable practices will not only beautify the area, but make it a heavily visited campus sector that improves the quality of life for all. Hypothesis, the aptly named research park, will be an economic driver for the neighboring communities but also the Columbus Community at large. With this plan, the overlooked area will no longer be forgotten.

The Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of New Urban Mechanics is the civic research and development arm of City of Boston. The office is charged with looking to the future and providing solutions to complex urban issues. This project was an opportunity for Jared to think larger and more creatively about how cities can be better. In this exercise, Jared looked at how sensors could improve community building, climate resilience and park maintenance. The images to the right are part of a hypothetical Instagram story to pique interest in the project.

Lift Up Lyndale looks at one of Minneapolisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most notorious intersections at Lake and Nicollet in the Lyndale Neighborhood. The existing big box retail development has cut off the flow of traffic along Nicollet Avenue, effectively creating an unfavorable environment for neighborhood residents and visitors alike compared to the environment just north of the intersection. This project focuses on a way to open the intersection while also supporting the existing communities and negating potential displacement. The process through which this was proposed was a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA). This project was seen as a foundation for which the neighborhood organizations affected and the city could begin their own negotiations.

Reopening Nicollet could have huge benefit on traffic congestion and ease of mobility for automobiles and bicycle access to the greenway.

Lot Coverage Less than 50% lot coverage

Opening Nicollet will create a more efficient route for transit leading to the potential for further transit oriented development.

Local Business Locally Owned Businesses

Limited access to the greenway and overall connectivity to the bike path network needs to be addressed and remedied.

Parking Parking Both Side of Street Parking One Side of Street Proposed Street Parking Proposed OffStreet Parking

Based on aerial imaging, the lot coverage in the area needs to be addressed. Creative, temporary solutions will help solve this in the interim.

Jared Staley

With a high concentration of local businesses north of the site, there is strong potential for further growth in the future.

Off street parking should be heavily limited considering the volume of on-street parking in the area.

NEW 29TH STREET

103

121

To facilitate east-west non-motorized access through the neighborhood, the northernmost portion of the K-Mart site should utilized for the development of a new 29th Street. This street would be restricted to bicycle and pedestrian use only, maintaining a high quality design that is visually stimulating while functionally efficient. While this street is likely to be a public sector investment, this it is certain to be an amenity for any potential development, and public-private partnership should be leveraged if possible.

121

MAINTAIN & ENHANCE GREENWAY ACCESS

The Midtown Greenway, Minneapolis’ premier and most utilized bicycle facility, currently maintains ramp access on the northern end of the bridge over Nicollet Ave. While access to this ramp is currently sub-standard, maintaining and enhancing access to this ramp is a necessity and will significantly support non-motorized access to the throughout the neighborhood.

10 Jared Staley

Wherever possible, pedestrian crossing distances should be minimized to the greatest degree achievable. While street and sidewalk improvements will be largely publicly financed, private development should work to integrate its points of entry and egress with planned pedestrian infrastructure to encourage safety and efficiency.

PROVIDE TEMPORARY BIKE PARKING

Temporary bicycle parking should be provided wherever practical. Temporary bicycle parking allows for efficient access to nearby businesses and entertainment amenities, and reduces the need for car storage - an expensive component of development.

7 ENCOURAGE NICE RIDE

INTEGRATE TRANSIT ACCESS INTO THE SITE PLAN

Transit stops must be easy to walk and bike to, and must be thoughtfully integrated into new developments. Future development must be built with the expectation that transit will be a practical means of interfacing with the site, and building form and site plans should be conducive to promoting transit access and efficiency.

A portion of the K-Mart site should be dedicated to public space where people can gather, work, and play. This space should be easy to navigate to on foot or by bike, and should incorporate design elements that enhance the pedestrian environment (i.e. unique lighting, street furniture, and public art). Since a high-quality public space is an undeniable amenity, private sector investment should be leveraged to the greatest degree possible.

MINIMIZE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING DISTANCES

INTEGRATE WITH THE EXISTING & PLANNED BICYCLE NETWORK

To strengthen bicycling as a practical means of transportation, integrating with the existing and planned bicycle network is paramount. While Nicollet near Lake Street is not identified for bicycle facilities in the Minneapolis Bicycle Master Plan, Blaisdell Ave and 1st Ave South surrounding the K-Mart site have existing bicycle lanes and are identified as future protected bikeways. Access must be provided to these facilities to facilitate connectivity.

CREATE NEW PUBLIC SPACE & LEVERAGE PRIVATE INVESTMENT

Nice Ride, the Twin Cities’ bikeshare system, should be accommodated on site. Nice Ride stations encourage short distance trips by bicycle, and when paired with transit, can increase trip distances while decreasing the reliance on single occupancy vehicles - particularly useful for a busy urban location like Lake and Nicollet.

Policy Writing Location: Minneapolis, MN Year: 2017 Project Type: Capstone, Policy Writing Team: Jared Staley, author of selected text D. Lorenz, R. Latta, + C. Mcguire Brigl

Jared Staley

This policy was modeled after Ohio’s Community Reinvestment program’s enabling legislation in Ohio’s Revised Code and written for the use of the City of Minneapolis. The capstone as a whole focused on reinvestment in 8 targeted areas of Minneapolis. The city charged this capstone team with analyzing 8 target areas and providing detailed recommendations on how to promote reinvestment, redevelopment and growth in the areas without displacing the existing residents. The full proposal was delivered to the city, presented and will be tailored to better meet the city’s needs as determined by the city.

Section 2: Community Reinvestment Areas The neighborhood organization or subjurisdictions may survey the housing within their jurisdictions and, after the survey, may adopt resolutions describing the boundaries of community investment areas which contain the conditions required for the finding under division (B) of section X of the Revised Code.

The resolution adopted pursuant to this section shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the neighborhood or subjurisdiction, once a week for two consecutive weeks immediately following its adoption. Each legislative authority adopting a resolution pursuant to this section shall designate a housing officer. In addition, each such legislative authority, not later than fifteen days after the adoption of the resolution, shall submit to the director of development a copy of the resolution, along with a map of the community reinvestment area. The map shall be of sufficient detail to denote specific boundaries of the area.

Section 3: Application for exemption from real property taxation; procedures; limits A. The owner of any real property who also resides within the boundaries of a community reinvestment area may file an application for an exemption from real property taxation for a new structure or remodeling, completed after the effective date of the resolution adopted pursuant to section X of the Revised Code, with the housing officer designated pursuant to section X of the Revised Code, for the community reinvestment area in which the property is located.
