Exploring, Documenting, and Assessing Kansas City’s Diverse "Missing Middle" Housing Types

Speakers: Lynda Callon, Director, Kansas City Westside CAN Center; Kevin Klinkenberg, Senior Planner, Olsson Associates; Jed Moulton, Urban Design Manager, City of Omaha, NE. Moderator: Daniel Parolek, Principal, Opticos Design, Inc.

(3.5 hour session) The mismatch between the current housing stock in the U.S. and the large demographic shift, combined with the growing market demand for walkable urban living, has been poignantly defined by recent research. Missing Middle housing types, such as duplexes, fourplexes, mansion apartments, and live-work units are a critical part of the solution and should be a part of the arsenal of every architect, planner and developer. Missing Middle housing are simple, well-designed housing types that achieve medium density yields and provide high-quality, marketable options between single-family homes and mid-rise flats for walkable urban living. Listen to a diverse group of panelists that represent designers, planners and community representatives about how to apply this concept to your communities.

Land Banking: Pathways Toward Sustainable Urban, Suburban and Rural Land Reclamation

Speakers: Christopher Norman, Executive Director, Fulton County/City of Atlanta Land Bank Authority; Julie Porter, Executive Director, Greater Kansas City LISC; Sly James, Mayor, Kansas City, MO. Moderator: Kim Graziani, Vice President of Capacity Building, Center for Community Progress

Using recent land-banking breakthroughs in Kansas City, Missouri, and the state of Georgia as a backdrop, this session delves into land banking as an effective strategy for urban, suburban and rural land preservation and reclamation. These case studies offer a range of strategies that were spearheaded and enacted by a diverse set of stakeholders, including county commissioners, mayors and nonprofit community development practitioners. The experts leading this session have been intimately involved in these efforts and look forward to discussing the current best practices of land banking in the country, including how the laws are successful in communities of all sizes and how land banks can enable disinvested communities to think strategically as they put properties back to productive re-use.

How Local Governments Can Support Mixed Income TOD

Speakers: Pamela Wideman, Assistant Director, City of Charlotte, NC; Karl Dinkelspiel, Senior Project Manager, Portland Housing Bureau. Moderator: James Alexander, Housing and Economic Development Manager, Atlanta Beltline, Inc.

What can the government do to support mixed-income transit-oriented development? This panel focuses on the ability and possibilities of local governments to support and facilitate affordable TOD. Land use, zoning, trust funds, gap financing and direct development represent several tools available to local governments. The panelists explore what is the perceived role of government as it relates to mixed-income TOD; how different local governments have used these and other tools to create affordable TOD; and what works, what has not been working, and innovative areas for opportunity.
