Daniel RoseFellowship Program

OAKLAND CA The Honorable Jean Quan, Mayor of Oakland; Aliza Gallo, Economic Development Coordinator Oakland Community and Economic Development Agency; Gregory Hunter, Deputy Director of Economic Development and Redevelopment, Oakland Community and Economic Development Agency; Deanna Santana, City Administrator

The Daniel Rose Fellowship is a year-long program (from fall of the first year to fall of the next) intended to benefit its participating fellows with leadership training and professional development opportunities, and benefit their respective cities with technical assistance on a local land use challenge. The program is focused on leadership, integrated problem solving, public-private collaboration, and peer-to-peer learning. The mayors of four large American cities are invited to participate in the Rose Fellowship program each year. They each in turn select three fellows (city department or public agency directors with land use decision-making authority) and a team coordinator who together choose a local land use challenge on which they will receive technical assistance from faculty experts assembled by ULI and their peers from the other three fellowship cities. The program of work includes the ULI Fall and Spring Meetings, a study tour of another US or foreign city, study visits to each of the four fellowship cities, and a working retreat. The Rose Center assigns each fellowship city two faculty members (experts in urban design and development) who co-chair their study visit panel, provide additional advice and feedback at a working retreat, and return to each city for a short follow-up visit. Each fellow also serves as a study visit panelist to another fellowship city to encourage peer-to-peer learning. Additional subject matter experts and Rose Center Advisory Board members also participate in each city’s study visit panel and attend the working retreat to provide public- and private- sector perspectives.

The City of Charlotte’s land use challengewas how to ensure the long-term viability of development along Independence Boulevard (US 74), the main artery of the city’s east side. It had been proposed for conversion to a freeway for decades, with segments being reconstructed a mile or two at a time, but uncertainty about the transportation project’s timeframe as well as its final design has harmed the local real estate market resulting in a trend of disinvestment on the east side. When a transit study for the corridor recommended bus rapid transit, disappointed stakeholders demanded rail even though the context of having it within a freeway environment was inconsistent with the city’s land use goals for the corridor. After touring the Independence corridor and its adjacent neighborhoods, the existing South Corridor light rail line and the planned streetcar line for nearby Central Avenue, and meeting with neighborhood representatives, businesses, property owners and elected officials, the panel recommended that the city work with the North Carolina Department of Transportation to refine the transit program by keeping express bus service

in the median of the completed US 74 freeway shared with high-occupancy vehicle/toll lanes (HOV/HOT lanes) to provide for regional and interstate transportation needs (which would save property and create a revenue stream), while planning for streetcar service the adjacent Monroe Road commercial corridor to provide better and more contextual opportunities for neighborhood economic development and local transportation needs. As a follow-up, Rose Center staff moderated a series of stakeholder meetings which ultimately led to the Charlotte Transportation Commission amending their regional transportation plan to select bus as the preferred alternative for US 74 but also preserve the ability for rail transit to be built elsewhere in the Southeast Corridor. Based on this consensus, NCDOT has now designated the project as its highest priority to speed the acquisition of funding and reduce implementation time.

The city of Detroit’s land use challenge was how to commercially revitalize Livernois Avenue, the main street for some of the loveliest neighborhoods in north Detroit once known as the Avenue of Fashion. While the problems along Livernois – which is surrounded by well-tended, high-value neighborhoods – may seem slight compared to parts of Detroit suffering from large-scale abandonment, the Detroit Rose Fellowship team saw this challenge as complementary to the question of how to repurpose largely vacant sections of the city by turning around struggling commercial corridors where there is inherent market strength and strong social capacity. The panel toured Livernois and its adjacent neighborhoods as well as two local analogues – the nearby 9 Mile Road commercial district in suburban Ferndale and the Vernor corridor in southwest Detroit’s Mexicantown. They also met with local residents, business, property owners, and representatives of the two higher educational anchors: University of Detroit Mercy (UDM) and Marygrove College. The panel recommended that the city focus development, economic and human activity in key nodes along the 2-mile study area corridor; improve the built environment and physical infrastructure

Detroit Study Visit with designs that can address building aesthetics, streetscape, traffic flow, parking, pedestrian comfort and safety; recognize that Livernois’s old identify as the “Avenue of Fashion” no longer resonates with contemporary conditions and opportunities and aggressively replace it with a new identity that embraces its adjacent neighborhoods; support the strong social networks along Livernois and mentor them to become adept at bricks-and-mortar community development, especially by engaging the UDM; and recognize that city government needs to act as a resource for community-led initiatives and provide support for small entrepreneurship along Livernois, as well as a partner and facilitator between the neighborhoods, corridor businesses and property owners, and UDM. As a follow-up, Rose Center staff and faculty moderated a meeting between the city and new UDM President Antoine Garidbaldi. The city designated the study area as part of one of its three demonstration project areas for its Detroit Works program, has dedicated new human resources to support business development along Livernois, and is pursuing a number of partnerships with state and local government to address physical design changes and boost community development capacity along the corridor.


Defining the public sector roles in redeveloping deteriorating, older multifamily housing developments and preventing the spread of disinvestment to adjacent neighborhoods was Houston’s land use challenge. The study visit included briefings from local officials, ULI Houston District Council leaders, and meetings with community stakeholders. The panel also toured two different communities with this problem: the Broadway corridor north of Hobby Airport, and the Antoine Drive corridor between Highway 290 and the city limit. The panel said that by demolishing longstanding problem properties on the basis of health and safety violations, the city was on the right track toward stabilizing these neighborhoods. But the panel asked the city to set high-level priorities for neighborhood revitalization by defining what success will look like and developing real measures that the city and stakeholders can use to stay focused on ongoing needs and implementation challenges. As a homework assignment, the panel suggested that the Houston Rose Fellowship team select at least one area to demonstrate a collaborative multiagency

approach to neighborhood revitalization. Following the panel’s advice, the city was able to secure a community planning grant from their metropolitan planning organization for the Antoine corridor, which engaged hundreds of residents in a visioning process for the first time. The city provided gap financing from the city to owners of other nearby properties that wanted to renovate their facilities, which led to additional, entirely privately funded renovations by other owners. Meanwhile, the city was able to acquire a vacant golf course along the corridor and is working with other public agencies to redesign the riparian areas along the White Oak Bayou for improved flood control and open space amenities.

Sacramento’s land use challenge was to determine what actions the city needs to take to position the Railyards, a 240-acre infill site adjacent to downtown, to attract significant investment that would complement downtown given the presence of a planned inter-modal transportation hub in the site. The city spent years finalizing financing and infrastructure agreements with a private developer who defaulted on their debt and ceded control of the property to their financier, a REIT that typically invests in shopping centers rather than complex, large-scale redevelopment projects. During the study visit, the panel met with downtown business leaders, state and local elected officials, representatives from state and local government and regional organizations, transportation officials, and the representatives of the current owner of the Railyards. They recommended that city redesign its plans for the inter-modal hub to function as a transit district where the various modes are nearby but separate, rather than in a single large facility, to generate economic activity in the area and lower the cost of transit infrastructure. They also cautioned against a conceptual plan for a high-speed rail station that would result very tall facility

that would block the vista of the Railyards’ historic Central Shops from downtown. Critiquing the current land use plan, the panel urged the city to think about using open space and the street network to better connect the Railyards to its adjacent neighborhoods and the Sacramento River waterfront, and to pursue a dual development strategy of both building from the outside-in where there are existing communities, and the inside-out to take advantage of the historic assets that could attract cultural amenities, so that complete neighborhoods are constructed as the large site develops over many market cycles. They also advocated for interim uses to draw the public to the Railyards and create awareness of the site. As a follow-up, Rose Center staff and faculty returned to assess whether an entertainment-sports complex could be designed to complement the inter-modal transportation hub in the southwest corner of the Railyards. Based on this second panel’s recommendations, the city developed a public-private financing plan with regional stakeholders and the owners of the Kings National Basketball Association team, and is moving ahead with plans to build the new arena along with the inter-modal facility.

Sacramento Study Visit


The 2010-2011 class of Daniel Rose Fellows gathered to share the results of their respective city study visits with each other, Rose Fellowship faculty, and members of the Rose Center Advisory Board. The fellows also toured innovative new projects and met with leading local practitioners and public officials. Former Miami Beach Mayor Neisen Kasdin gave the fellows a guided walking tour of recent public-private partnership development projects, including: the Loews Hotel that started Miami Beach’s renaissance, the brand-new and highly artistic parking garage on the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall, and the dazzling New World Center campus of the New World Symphony designed by Frank Gehry. The fellows got to hear from development principals representing all three projects on the tour. Former Miami Mayor Danny Diaz visited with the fellows to talk about the politics of the city’s adoption of a new, form-based zoning code, Miami 21. Architect Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk also toured the fellows through some Miami neighborhoods that were catalysts for the decision to completely revamp the city’s approach to land use regulation, making it the largest American city with a form-based approach to zoning. In addition, the Rose Center Advisory Board’s former mayors (Glenda Hood of Orlando, Bill Hudnut of Indianapolis, and Tom Murphy of Pittsburgh) talked with the fellows about political leadership they exercised on land use decisions, and Advisory Board member Alex Garvin presented lessons from his new book Public Parks: The Key to livable communities.

Miami RetreatThe Rose Center in April 2011 brought the 2010-2011 class of Daniel Rose Fellows to Toronto for its first international study tour to learn from public- and private-sector leaders about development innovations and challenges in one of North America’s most dynamic and economically thriving urban centers. The fellows from Charlotte, North Carolina; Detroit, Michigan; Houston, Texas; and Sacramento, California met with ULI members, city officials, developers, non-profit organizations, journalists, academics, and neighborhood leaders while touring numerous projects and sites. In addition to touring the city’s underground PATH system (the largest pedestrian network in the world), the fellows visited Wychwood Barns to learn about this innovative adaptive reuse of an old trolleybarn into an arts and community center and public park, learned how constant immigration is fueling economic development and renewal in Chinatown and Kensington Market, and toured the Lake Erie waterfront to take in the lessons Toronto has learned from past mistakes as it now plans a sustainable and publicly accessible lakefront. The fellows learned from local urban affairs author John Lorinc about the 1998 merger of seven municipalities into a new merged megacity (called amalgamated Toronto) and discussed the politics of transit in the last mayoral election, which saw the defeat of its $4 billion Transit City regional expansion program. Some of the takeaways for the fellows beyond the regulatory differences in Canada included an appreciation for what American cities handle better than their Canadian sisters (namely zoning and permitting approvals) and the realization that transit vehicle technology is not as important its operating characteristics (in Toronto, streetcars that operate in dedicated rights-of-way are called light rail lines, but they are much less expensive than light rail despite similar performance).

With fewer sessions over less days than ULI’s Fall Meeting, one the highlights of the Spring Meeting is ULI’s product councils, intimate and exclusive groups of industry leaders focused on specific real estate products or development topics. Many members faculty and experts from the Rose Center belong to these councils, which typically have waiting lists to join, and the Rose Center offers its fellows the opportunity to be guests at one during the Spring Meeting. Since many former Rose Center faculty and guest experts – as well as alumni fellows – from previous years are also in attendance, the Spring Meeting also offers an opportunity for the current fellows to get advice and feedback from them at a special Rose Fellowship meeting. The 2011 Spring Meeting was in Phoenix, which participated in the 2009-2010 Daniel Rose Fellowship Class. Rose Center attendees were able to hear from alumni fellows, including communications and public affairs consultant Wes Gullett, who served as chair of the Phoenix Planning Commission during his fellowship year. Gullett was so inspired by his experience in the program that he decided to run to succeed term-limited Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, who named him as one of Phoenix’s Rose Fellows. While Gullett ultimately lost in a runoff election, he was able to elevate the profile of land use issues in the campaign. In addition to general sessions on ULI’s 2011 Infrastructure Report, real estate town halls, and industry roundtables, Rose Fellows attended meetings of the public private partnership, inner city, and urban development/mixed-use product council as guests, and toured local projects such as Arizona State University’s new downtown campus, a partnership between the city and the university that has had a dramatic effect on the vitality of downtown Phoenix and the success of its new light rail line. At the Rose Fellowship meeting, ULI senior resident fellow Ed McMahon, talked to the fellows about the future of retail on main streets, in town centers and mixed use development.

At their summer retreat in Denver, the 2010-2011 class of Daniel Rose Fellows gathered to share progress and setbacks regarding follow-up actions for their respective land use challenges with each other, Rose Fellowship faculty, and members of the Rose Center Advisory Board. The fellows also toured innovative new projects and met with leading local practitioners and public officials. The fellows toured Denver’s Central Platte Valley, where a public-private partnership between the city, transit agency and a private development team are developing the new multi-modal hub for the region’s rail transit system along with a massive mixed-use joint develop-ment on a critical infill site connecting Denver’s LoDo district to its new Riverfront Park neighborhood, which was built on a former railyard. Then-Denver planning director (and now Harvard Loeb Fellow) Peter Park talked to the fellows about Denver’s new zoning code, an innovative, context-based approach to land use regulation that includes elements of form-based along with use-based requirements. They also learned from Brad Segal, president of Progressive Urban Management Associates, about a management framework and development tools for commercial districts his consulting firm has helped cities to develop. Special guest presenter Adam Gelter, vice president for development of the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC), talked about Cincinnati’s innovative development financing model and the inspiring achieve-ments of this partnership’s progress in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, one of the most socially and economically challenged areas in any American city. The fellows also met with their faculty advisers to plan and strategize their follow-up visits over the summer.

The 2011 ULI Fall Meeting and Urban Land Expo in Los Angeles, represented the passing of the baton from the 2010-2011 Class to the 2011-2012 Class of Daniel Rose Fellows. Fellows from the outgoing class of Charlotte, Detroit, Houston and Sacramento and the incoming class of Kansas City, Oakland, Providence and Tampa had the opportunity to attend mobile workshops of innovative local projects and sessions featuring industry leaders over the course of the Fall Meeting, which also celebrated ULI’s 75th anniversary. Fall Meeting sessions

“As we look at how to repurpose our land, how to get the density back in to our city, there are things that we can do to make our city attractive again.” - Mayor David Bing, Detroit, MI

Los Angeles Fellows Meeting ranged from market and industry trends to development influencers to leadership and public policy. A major highlight was the Rose Center’s Mayors’ Forum on 21st Building Century Cities, featuring current and alumni Rose Fellowship mayors [see opposing page]. The outgoing class of cities and their faculty advisers presented on what they accomplished in their year in the fellowship program and offered advice to the incoming class about how to get the most out of their time in the program. The incoming class of cities each presented an overview of their prospective land use challenge and met with their faculty advisers for the first time. The incoming class also received feedback from outgoing fellows and faculty to help them refine the scope of their land use challenge. The Rose Fellowship sessions were held in Union Station’s Fred Harvey Room, a magnificently preserved Art Deco restaurant space that will be put back into commercial use as part of the redevelopment of the 40 acres of Union Station and its environs, envisioned to contain nearly 6 million square feet of mixed-use development.

During the ULI Fall Meeting in Los Angeles, CA in October, the Rose Center presented the Mayors’ Forum on Building 21st Century Cities at the Los Angeles Central Library, Taper Auditorium. The panel discussion, moderated by Glenda Hood, a Rose Center Advisory Board member and former Mayor of Orlando and Florida Secretary of State, examined the shared challenges and opportunities leaders have building their cities to compete in the 21st century economy. Current and former Rose Fellow mayors participated in the discussion: Mayor Bob Buckhorn of Tampa, Mayor Dave Bing of Detroit, Mayor Sly James of Kansas City, Mayor Karl Dean of Nashville, and Mayor Angel Taveras of Providence. More than 100 attendees of the Fall Meeting were treated to each mayor’s insights about the innovations and techniques employed to position their cities as attractive locations for investment and residency.

“Regional competition is a zero-sum game. At the end of the day, it doesn’t create any new jobs and you pay a lot of money for the privilege. Regional cooperation helps us look for opportunities to build connectivity with our surrounding communities, which generates collaboration and improvement for all.” - Mayor Sylvester “Sly” James, Kansas City, MO

“It was an amazing experience to be able to take time awayfrom a hectic schedule and focus on cities, land use, planning, and development. In my seventeen year career, I’ve never before had the opportunity to focus on what got me into this field in the first place.”

-Deanna Santana, City Administrator, Oakland, CA

The Rose Center in early December 2011 brought the 2011-2012 class of Rose Fellows to the UK for a week-long study tour to learn from public and private sector leaders in four different sized British cities. The fellows from Kansas City, Missouri; Oakland, California; Providence, Rhode Island; and Tampa, Florida, visited London, Liverpool, Manchester and Chester and met with the leadership of the UK National Council, including ULI Europe Chief Executive Joe Montgomery. In London they toured redeveloping East End neighborhoods, visited the Olympic Stadium site, toured the Tate Modern, and spoke with representatives of the Greater London Authority and

But most of the study tour was spent in Liverpool and Manchester, which like fellows’ own cities are transitioning from an industrial to a knowledge-based economy and have many related redevelopment stories to share. In Liverpool, the Fellows toured Grosvernor’s Liverpool One project then were briefed by representatives of the Liverpool Council about the city’s develop-ment and fiscal agenda. In Manchester, staff from Drivers Jonas Deloitte gave them a tour of the Media City project in Salford, then were briefed by Manchester Council Leader Sir Richard Leese and Chief Executive Sarah Todd. One of the highlights of the tour was dinner at the Beetham Tower in Manchester (the tallest residential building in Europe) with architect Ian Simpson,

the tower’s designer. The fellows also met with the development firm Urban Splash, which has many innovative adaptive reuse projects, primarily in the north of England. The final stop of the tour was in Chester, the site of a ULI Advisory Services Panel a year earlier, where they met with representatives from Chester Renaissance and the Chester Council, walked the city’s walls and toured its Roman gardens and amphitheater. One of the fellows’ takeways from the visit was how bold, imaginative modern architecture could complement historic urban fabric and bring new life to old city centers. The Rose Center’s first overseas study tour was planned in collaboration with ULI Europe staff and was an excellent example of cross-Atlantic ULI collaboration with many UK-based ULI members.

Susan Riggs-Tinsky makes a point at the 2011 Charles Shaw Forum on Public Finance of Redevelopment. Kathy Rosenow facilitate a group discussion at the 2011 Shaw Forum in San Francisco.

The ULI/Charles H. Shaw Forum on Urban Community Issues, an annual event in its tenth year of programming, brings together around 25 experts and leading practitioners to address a specific topic relating to the challenges and opportunities of urban neighborhoods. Shaw Forums have covered such topics as capitalizing on the new markets tax credit; involving the community in neighborhood planning; making parks accessible to the community; community development corporations partnering with for-profit developers; managing gentrification; and green affordable housing. In June, the ULI Rose Center hosted private and public officials in San Francisco, CA for an interdisciplinary discussion of the right role for public urban development. Titled, The Future of Publicly Financed Redevelopment, the event used California Governor Jerry Brown’s proposal to eliminate all funding for redevelopment agencies (RDAs) in order to redirect state funding to other services and education as a platform for debate. Participants from within California and from other cities shared their insights on the role that redevelopment tools play in the economic and community revitalization of urban neighborhoods.

In November, the Rose Center co-hosted with ULI’s Terwilliger Center for Housing the Multifamily Housing Forum in Houston, TX. This was the first distinctive ULI event, organized specifically for public and private leaders, to convene and examine the current market status of multifamily housing development and finance. Chaired by Philip Payne, Chief Executive Officer, Ginkgo Residential, the two-day meeting, coordinated commentary from top experts in policy and economics as well as project presentations and local tours that highlighted best practices and innovative development projects. Community development leaders, housing market experts, and public policy leaders in attendance had much to discuss following commentaries by: Ron Terwilliger, Chairman Emeritus, Trammel Crow Residential, and Chairman, ULI Terwilliger Center, who discussed his recent policy paper America’s Housing Policy – the Missing Piece: Affordable Workplace

Rentals (Washington, DC: Urban Land Institute 2011) and Doug Duncan, Vice President and Chief Economist, Fannie Mae, who distilled details of Fannie Mae’s ongoing economic and mortgage market research and surveys. Additional presentations regarding policy and practice focused on how public agencies can create effective procedures that encourage projects from the notice and hearing process to ground-breaking.

This forum brought elected officials, government staffers, philanthropic executives, and academics from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany to Washington, DC to discuss Local Leadership in the Financial Crisis. Participants reported that they are relying on similar means to manage budgets: reducing personnel; consolidating government offices and functions; outsourcing to private sector contractors; and partnering with other levels of government, volunteers, and philanthropies. They also are trying to manage public expectations and reduce overall demand for services. Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed warned that governments cannot afford to stop investing in their communities, even as they attempt a long-term restructuring. “Everybody wants their local government to control everything – until they find out what it’s going to cost them,” said Akron, Ohio, Mayor Don Plusquellic. In particular, Akron officials are examining what services would be delivered more efficiently at the county level. “This should force us to make some decisions we wouldn’t ordinarily do,” he added.

Hospitals and universities continue to play a significant role in spurring public and private investment, even in today’s economy. The ULI Policy and Practice Forum, Anchor Institutions as Catalysts of Urban Investment, hosted in ULI’s offices in Washington, DC, explored how communities could channel this growth. The Rose Center advised ULI’s Initiatives Team on the development of the agenda and participants list for this forum, and Daniel Rose Fellow Alan Greenberger, Deputy Mayor of Philadelphia, delivered the keynote address.

Sustainable development policies and practices are becoming a high priority for local governments. The Rose Center created a workshop curriculum structured for local public officials to learn about valuable tools and tactics they can use to leverage more sustainable development practices in their communities. In 2011, the Home Depot Foundation – Sustainable Cities Institute (SCI) awarded ULI’s Rose Center a grant to present this workshop - Implementing Sustainable Development in Your Community – to three communities in the SCI Pilot City Program. Delivered to almost 100 local government officials in Atlanta, GA; Charleston, SC; and Fayetteville, AR, the Sustainable Development workshop shared insights to: • Improve knowledge and context for

sustainability at the community level, • Learn about policy tools and

measurements, • Discover local project/programs

already implementing sustainable development practices in the their region,

• Define the most effective role public officials can play in creating more sustainable communities in their communities.

Sustainable Development Workshops

“A lot of great information. Great for going to the next step showing examples of how other communities that are successful implement these practices. Tools to take to my community.” - Charleston workshop participant

Rose Center webinars are aimed to expand the delivery of information about real estate development and finance, land use concepts, and innovative practices to land use planners, local government officials, nonprofit leaders and other public ULI members to support creation of sustainable programs and effective policies for land use and development in their communities. The webinar programs draw upon internal ULI work products and external partnerships to share current industry trends and practices with the larger public sector audience. Programs in 2011 included presentations by ULI District Council staff and local municipality representatives: Responding to Multifamily Foreclosure: a real-time case study of suburban multifamily foreclosures – ULI Chicago and Developing the Next Frontier: Bus Rapid Transit and Land Use – ULI Seattle.
