OLF-8 Master Plan Charrette - Evening Presentations

OLF-8 Master Plan Team

Join us for our evening presentations of the OLF-8 Master Plan Charrette!

The OLF-8 site is located in Beulah, but it is a project in which every citizen of Escambia County has a stake. Your voice is important, and we have several ways for you to participate in the Master Plan Process. Evening presentations focus on the broader aspects of the Master Plan, and will be more educational and informational, while still retaining time for questions and answers. Citizens wishing to participate who do not have internet access should contact OLF-8 Project Manager Terri Berry at 850-595-3421. Accommodations will be made. Opening Presentation - October 13, 5:30 - 7:00 P.M.Wonder why the OLF8 site is being developed, and who was hired to do the planning proposals and zoning? In this presentation, Marina Khoury of DPZ CoDesign will present a summary of the technical and economic analysis work to date. She will be supported by Peter Bazelli of Weitzman Associates, Joe Minicozzi of Urban 3, Georgio Tachiev of GIT, and Meritxell Font of Nelson Nygaard. Keynote Presentation by Jeff Speck - October 14, 5:30 - 7:00 P.M.What Could Walkability Mean for Beulah?In his books, TED talks, and town planning practice, Jeff Speck views community design through the window of “walkability.&quot; What does walkability mean in a rural or suburban Amercian context, and how can the principles of walkability be applies to optimizing the future of Beulah?Mid-term Presentation - October 15, 5:30 - 7:00 P.M.Curious to see preliminary designs for the OLF site? Want an opportunity to provide direction and meaningful feedback on the specific design proposals? In this presentation, Marina Khoury of DPZ CoDesign will present preliminary master plan proposals, with their general programs and supporting diagrams. She will again be supported by Peter Bazelli of Weitzman Associates, Joe Minicozzi of Urban 3, Georgio Tachiev of GIT, and Meritxell Font of Nelson Nygaard. Keynote Presentation by Jeff Speck - October 21, 5:30 - 7:00 P.M.Why We Plan, and Why We Are Planning Beulah.Some conversations surrounding the OLF8 process question why a plan of this nature is necessary. Certainly, the history of American planning suggests that our faith in that profession might be misplaced. Why should we have confidence that our current efforts will yield a better outcome than business as usual?Final Presentation - October 22, 6:00 - 7:00 P.M. (Charrette recap and Team Q&amp;A at 5:30)Come see the charrette results for the different master plan designs for the OLF site and how your feedback ultimately helped shape the proposals? In this presentation, Marina Khoury of DPZ CoDesign will summarize the stakeholder feedback and present all the work completed over the course of the charrette. She will again be supported by Peter Bazelli of Weitzman Associates, Joe Minicozzi of Urban 3, Georgio Tachiev of GIT, and Meritxell Font of Nelson Nygaard. (Just because this is titled the ‘Closing Presentation’ doesn’t mean the design process is over, in fact it has only begun. Master plan proposals will be placed on the website and further vetted technically and economically with the goal of presenting all plan options to the BoCC in November to decide on a preferred master plan design to evolve.)
