20. Planning Factors for All Projects
Proposed New/Amended
Factor
Factor Measure Points Environmental SRPP: Justice Based on answers…………. …up to 5 points /SRPP Environmental Justice: Overall net benefits (good to excellent)…4-5 Overall net benefits (fair to good)……… 2-3 Overall net benefits (none to fair)…… ….0-1
Added a Strategic Regional Planning factor and incorporated it into the Environmental Justice Factor. SRPP will examine such items as whether a project serves brownfields or greyfields, will impact greenhouse gases, help address environmental nuisances such as noise, dust and odor and examine if the project area abuts a sensitive environmental resource. The Environmental Justice factor was revised to look at the overall net benefits of a project—both the negative impacts and positive impacts of the project. This was a concern raised by FHWA during the Federal Certification Review.

21. Planning Factors for All Projects
Factor Measure Points
Land Use Consistent-comp plan complete & current ..5
Conformance Consistent-comp plan needs improvement..3
Inconsistent-no comprehensive plan ……….0
Local Consistent-comp plan complete & current ...5
Planning Consistent-comp plan needs improvement..3
Implementation Inconsistent-no comprehensive plan ………0
of SRPP
Land Use factor replaced with a Local Planning factor that also addresses whether a project is consistent with a comprehensive plan or other discrete study or plan that the applicant can demonstrate meets similar analysis and content criteria of a comprehensive plan.
Proposed Amended
Factor

22. Planning Factors for All Projects
Factor Measure Points Air Quality/ 2 or more reduced………………………6 to 10 Energy 2 or more reduced……………………….. 0 to 5 Local Share 30% or more additional…………… over amount 25% or more additional………………………8 Required 20% or more additional………………………6 15% or more additional………………………4 10% or more additional………………………2 Required local match…………………………0
Air Quality/Energy factor remains unchanged as well as the amount of match or overmatch an applicant provides

23. Planning Factors for All Projects
Factor Measure Points Existing Critical…………………………………….. 5 Condition Poor………………………………………… 3 Fair……………………………………… Good………………………………………... 0 Economic Creates employment…………………… 10 Vitality Retains employment…………………….. 5 Does not create/retain employment…... 0 History of 1 project slipped …………………………. -3 Project Del. 2 projects slipped………………………… -5
Existing Condition factor—no change
Economic Vitality factor—increased amount of points available with this factor and eliminated the requirement for non-retail employment.
