INTRODUCTIONNeighborhood PlansBroadview’sPlanning ProcessHow to Use theNeighborhood Plan

I NTRODUCTIONNeighborhood Plan sNeighborhood planning is the process by which the City works withBloomington’s residents to envision the future of the neighborhood.The vitality of each of Bloomington’s neighborhoods depends oncareful consideration of each neighborhood’s unique identity andcharacter. The plan must strive to eliminate elements that erodecharacter and enhance elements that improve the quality of life forcurrent and future residents.Vibrant neighborhoods are essential to the overall health of thecommunity. Bloomington’s GPP recognizes the various assets itsneighborhoods bring to the city as a whole.Architecturalsignificance, pedestrian amenities, diversity, affordability, andproximity are several examples of resources that neighborhoodsmay possess. Preservation, enhancement, and revitalizationstrategies for such resources will ensure that Bloomington’sneighborhoods prosper.Through the planning process, neighborhood plans are developedfor Bloomington’s neighborhoods.This process allows aneighborhood to construct a clear vision of its needs and priorities,while maintaining consensus about what needs to beaccomplished. The strategies outlined within neighborhood plans,together with guidance from the GPP, will continue to makeBloomington an even better place to live.Neighborhood plans begin with the residents of a recognizedneighborhood association. A dedicated group of neighborhoodleaders and community representatives are brought together to setgoals, determine objectives, and establish action strategies topreserve, enhance, or revitalize neighborhood assets.Empowering residents to lead their neighbors in the planningprocess is the biggest and most rewarding aspect of neighborhoodplanning. Throughout this process neighborhood concerns areaddressed and coordination of efforts to solve problems isimproved by working together.Ultimately, a neighborhood plan is devised to resourcefully steerprivate investment and public services towards projects that aremost important to residents. It also encourages healthy interactionbetween citizens, business leaders, interest groups, andgovernment representatives. The final product of the neighborhoodplanning process is a living document composed of real projectsBroadview Neighborhood Plan Neighborhood Plans in Bloomington 1

that are timely and feasible. The resulting plans will create mutualtrust and bring together an association between citizens, businessand government where strategic alliances and friendships candevelop between all parties involved with a neighborhood. Theseplans will sustain neighborhood values and strengthen communityties, which are the fundamental keys to healthy vibrantneighborhoods. The City of Bloomington is eager to continuallywork with its neighborhood associations in developingNeighborhood Plans through the City’s Neighborhood PlanningInitiative.Neighborhood PlanningGrowth Policies PlanNeighborhood PlanningNeighborhood SelectionMonitor / Evaluate PlanNeighborhood PlanningProcessPlan ImplementationPlan Adoption2 Broadview Neighborhood Plan Neighborhood Plans in Bloomington

Broadview’s PlanningProcessThe recently adopted Growth Policies Plan (GPP) looks toneighborhood plans as an effective mechanism to aid in fulfillingthe guiding principle of Conserve Community Character. Theseplans should be designed to address housing, land uses, theprovision of public infrastructure and services, affordable housing,and infill development strategies. The Broadview Neighborhood isthe second neighborhood to participate in Bloomington’sNeighborhood Planning Initiative set forth in the GPP.In December of 2002, several City staff members met withBroadview residents and other interested parties to introduce theCity’s Neighborhood Planning Initiative. At this public meeting,City staff made a presentation which described the purpose of theinitiative, steps, time, and commitment involved with this planningprocess.Neighborhood residents, community leaders, and City staffparticipated in a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, andthreats (SWOT) exercise in early January. This was the first stepin the neighborhood planning process, which required participantsto set out to investigate and survey the neighborhood.Participants were asked to identify and catalog neighborhoodfeatures which are either: a Strength - an attribute which contributes positively to thequality of life;a Weakness - an attribute which detracts from the qualityof life;an Opportunity - a condition that has the potential tobecome a strength;a Threat - a condition that has the potential to threaten thefuture of the neighborhood.The SWOT exercise provided an opportunity for everyone tofamiliarize themselves with various positive features anddrawbacks identified within the Broadview neighborhood. TheBroadview Neighborhood was split into small walk-able sub-areasto help facilitate the SWOT exercise. These sub-areas aredepicted in the figure shown on the next page. All of theparticipants were separated into two teams and assigned subareas to investigate and survey. Notebooks, maps, and cameraswere provided to each team so their observations could beproperly recorded.Broadview residents begin theneighborhood planning process.Broadview Neighborhood Plan Broadview’s Planning Process 3

After a couple of hours of field work, the teamsreconvened to discuss what they found. Aclearer picture of the strengths, weaknesses,opportunities, and threats within Broadviewbegan to materialize. The information collectedfrom this exercise resulted in a detailedinventory of attributes and conditions for eachsub-area within the neighborhood that was usedlater in the neighborhood planning process.The next step to the process was to form a coregroup of leaders, called a Steering Committee,who would guide the actual development of thegoals, objectives, and action strategies in theneighborhood plan. A Steering Committee waschosen from a broad range of individuals withdifferent levels of interest and involvement inBroadview. Individually they represent variousinterests, but as a group they are a unified voiceunique to Broadview. The Broadview Steering Committee was adedicated group of volunteers comprised of residents from all partsof the neighborhood, the neighborhood association president, aCity Council district representative, and a Monroe CountyCommunity School Corporation board member. Together they putforth the time and energy necessary to develop goals, objectives,and actions strategies – the vital components of neighborhoodplans.Over a period of several months the Steering Committee met on aregular basis to develop these components. Guided by City staff,the Steering Committee was put through a series of tasks. First,they had to prioritize the SWOT findings to help clarify theprevailing issues and concerns of Broadview (the results aresummarized in appendix B). Second, the Steering Committeewrote the vision statement for the Broadview Neighborhood. Third,the goals, objectives, and action strategies of the plan weredrafted. Fourth, the Steering Committee reviewed, revised, andapproved the final draft of the Broadview Neighborhood Plan.After the first two tasks were completed, the foundation of the planwas set. Ultimately, the prioritized SWOT and neighborhood visionstatement serve as a canvas for the plan to evolve upon. Withoutthese exercises, the Steering Committee would not have thenecessary background to draft representative goals, objectives,and action strategies for the Broadview Neighborhood.Drafting the goals, objectives, and action strategies of theneighborhood plan is one of the more difficult tasks of the process.4 Broadview Neighborhood Plan Broadview’s Planning ProcessThe six sections ofBroadview Neighborhoodas determined for theSWOT exercise.

During multiple meetings, the Steering Committee worked with Citystaff to develop these components of the Plan. The goals were thefirst component of the plan to develop. Once drafted, the goalsprovide a general target for the neighborhood to aim at for the nextthree to five years and cover a variety of issues. From here,objectives - provisions which have measurable elements that markprogress toward its intended goal - were proposed, discussed andagreed upon by the committee.Before the Steering Committee could proceed, neighborhood inputwas necessary to ensure that the drafted goals and objectiveswere representative of the neighborhood’s interests. An openhouse was held on April 10, 2003 where the public was invited toview and comment on the proposed goals and objectives. Thesesuggestions were later considered by the committee and thenecessary changes were made.From here, the Steering Committee had to devise action strategiesfor each objective. Action strategies direct programs, groups, andvarious activities to achieve the desired objectives developed forthe neighborhood. Like the goals and objectives, strategies wereproposed, discussed and agreed upon by the committee. Becausethese strategies often require various resources, a final review byCity departments and other identified resources was necessary toensure a mutual understanding between groups existed and therewas “buy in” from all parties involved.Once this phase of the process was completed, City staff compileda draft of the plan for the Steering Committee to review as their lasttask to accomplish. When approved, the final document wasformally presented to the neighborhood residents and generalpublic as the Broadview Neighborhood Plan.The action strategies provide plans for the near future of theneighborhood. Some of the strategies, for example enhancingalternative modes of transportation within the area, are alreadybeing carried out. Some strategies will be pursued within three tofive years. Periodically, the action strategies will be reviewed byCity staff and the Broadview Neighborhood to ensure the vitality ofthe plan and to make sure it continues to serve the needs of theneighborhood.Broadview Neighborhood Plan Broadview’s Planning Process 5

How to Use theNeighborhood PlanThe American Planning Association defines neighborhoods as“diverse, dynamic social and economic entities with uniquecharacteristics, which are recognized by residents of both theneighborhood and the community at large”.The best neighborhood plans will energize widespread communityrecognition of these unique characteristics. They will also build aframework that enables a neighborhood’s vision to gain support,not only at the neighborhood level, but throughout the entire City ofBloomington as well. The City of Bloomington is devoted todeveloping the best neighborhood plans because itsneighborhoods are the strategic building blocks of our greatcommunity.Through the neighborhood planning process, neighborhoods candevelop effective “living” neighborhood plans. This plan becomesa tool for the neighborhood and the greater community at large. Itwill provide a vision of the near future and a general education andawareness about the unique characteristics a neighborhoodpossesses. Additionally, it will begin to unify expectations sochanges can occur with a degree of precision and predictability.The plan will guide city departments, agencies, and commissions;as well as inform developers, landlords, architects, and engineers.It will continue to grow, evolve and adapt with the neighborhood.Trust, coordination, and openness are elements that are built intothe process. Together these help build great plans, but thechallenge remains to implement and make neighborhood planshappen.Left alone, great intentions, opportunities, andmotivations will be lost.Continuously working to implementstrategies of a neighborhood plan will ensure success.In the following pages, such strategies are detailed. An account ofBroadview’s planning process is included to provide a sense ofwhat neighborhood planning entails. The last section contains theappendices, which presents a variety of information related andunique to Broadview.The goals, objectives, and action strategies section containsorganizational charts of the essential components of the plan.These charts provide a useful road map to the who’s, what’s,where’s, when’s, and why’s of a desired neighborhood goal.6 Broadview Neighborhood Plan How to Use the Neighborhood Plan

Directing efforts and pursuing resources specified for an actionstrategy will contribute to achieving its corresponding objective.Subsequently, as action strategies are carried out, objectives willbe attained.As objectives are attained, goals will beaccomplished.Periodic meetings between the Neighborhood Association and theCity will allow for progress reports, evaluation, and modification ofthe action strategies. This plan is a “living tool” which will need tobe “fine tuned” from time to time as strategies are pursued withvarious degrees of satisfaction and participation.As timeproceeds, priorities may shift and focus may be lost.

THE PLANCity of BloomingtonBroadview StudyAreaLocated approximately one and a half miles fromBloomington’s downtown area and two miles fromthe Indiana University campus, Broadview is a219 acre neighborhood on the southwest side oftown.The CSX Rail Corridor borders theneighborhood’s eastern edge, Country Club Drivedefines its southern side, South Rockport Road isthe western border, and the intersection ofRogers and Cherokee makes up the northern tipof the neighborhood.Although an old and established area near thecity, the Broadview Neighborhood has onlyrecently been annexed into the City over the pastfew years in a three phase process. In Januaryof 2003, Broadview’s annexation by the City wascompleted.In and around Broadview there are critical sites which couldsubstantially impact the future of the neighborhood. Such sitesinclude the CSX Rail Corridor (proposed for redevelopment into anurban greenway and alternative transportation path), the IndianaEnterprise Center (formerly Thomson Consumer Electronics), theproposed site of a community and ary School (BES will soon close and anew school is under construction). Additionally,the Alternative Transportation and GreenwaysSystem Plan identifies projects along CountryClub Drive, Rogers Street, Rockport Road, andCherokee Drive. All of which can make for anexciting future for Broadview residents.The Broadview Neighborhood is characterized byits single family residences. Attractive greenspace with mature trees is common throughoutthe area.Broadview NeighborhoodBroadview Neighborhood Plan Broadview Study Area 9

Goals, Objectives & ActionStrategies for BroadviewThe key step of the neighborhood planning process is thedevelopment of goals, objectives and action strategies. Thesecomponents are the driving force behind each neighborhood plan.The neighborhood plan organizes the goals, objectives, and actionstrategies into Action Strategy Charts illustrated in the followingpages. These charts clearly state the action strategies andsummarize the logical resources and anticipated timeframeneeded for completion of each action.The charts are a useful tool to evaluate the progress ofimplementing the plans. Periodic meetings will be arrangedbetween the neighborhood association and the City to coordinateefforts and make any necessary adjustments to the prescribedstrategies. This will ensure that the objectives, goals, andultimately the vision become a reality.Successful plans are not measured by their individualaccomplishments, but rather by the cumulative results and synergycreated from executing various action strategies.Meetingneighborhood goals is what measures the success of a plan, butnot the success of a neighborhood. This can’t be measured.Broadview has chosen a pathway to its future. In the next sectionof the Plan this pathway is depicted by the goals, objectives, andaction strategies chosen for the Broadview Neighborhood.BROADVIEW GOALS:To improve public services thatwill create a safer environmentfor all ages and abilities;To promote the reuse ofBroadview Elementary School;To strengthen the BroadviewNeighborhood Association;To encourage pride inhomeownership;To improve our public image;To encourage new and existingsmall business;To educate Broadview residentsabout available servicesGoals -- The general statements ofpurpose or the long-term end toward whichprograms or activities are ultimatelydirected.Action Steps -- Direct programs, groups,or various activities to achieve theobjectives and goals drafted for theneighborhood.Objectives -- Provisions that havemeasurable elements to mark progresstowards the corresponding goal.Target Date -- Anticipated date orfrequency that an action strategy should beaccomplished.Resources -- Logical entities that shouldbe directly involved with the implementationof a specified action strategy.10 Broadview Neighborhood Plan Goals, Objectives, & Action Strategies
