Community
Sustainable Development Assistance, Lake Tahoe (CA)-Northern
Nevada (September,
2006).
Served as a member of
a Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) for the
American Institute of Architects
(AIA), Communities by Design program. Conducted
a week-long charrette designed to help the communities
of Lake
Tahoe, Truckee, Reno, and Carson City assess their
strengths and weaknesses with regards to water
resources, land-use, transportation, energy, and economic
development.
Conducted a series of workshops to develop the
background on issues, seek stakeholder input on core
values and
important concerns for the future, and provide
recommendations for the communities to proceed in a
sustainable fashion.
Developed a team Assessment
Report that strongly recommended to
the different communities that they begin to plan
on a
regional basis since they are very closely linked
by a common watershed, transportation corridors,
commerce,
and labor force. Affordable housing was also a
significant issue to all communities involved in
the assessment.
My leadership in water quality issues provided
a strategic process for the involved communities
into the exploration
and design of Low Impact Development (LID) policies
for future development guidance in the region.
