9:00 am Welcome and Conference Opening- Richland Wayne Shuler, AICP, President of SCAPA Mayor Steve Benjamin, City of Columbia 9:15 am Keynote Address: Simpler approaches to Regulating Form- Richland Form-based design standards offer an effective and lower-cost alternative to form-based codes

that is far less expensive to create and much easier to administer. They provide a particularly attractive option for small cities and large towns with limited staff and budgets and have a demonstrated track record of success in a number of communities that have considered and rejected the FBC option. FBDS regulations can be tailored to include all of the essential design criteria commonly found in much longer, more elaborate FBCs.

Come explore all the ways an online services website can save you time and make your work streamlined and more efficient.

4:15 pm Homes not Hotels: Developing a Regulator Framework for Short-Term Rentals – Richland Since 1998, boosted by publicity around national rankings, tourism in Charleston has grown exponentially with a 70% increase in visitors to the city. Following the influx of visitors came an over saturation of short-term rentals and most of them were illegal. A sixteen-member Short Term Rental (STR) Task Force was created in 2016. This group worked together for more than a year analyzing all aspects of short term renting in Charleston. Based on the recommendations of the STR Task Force, new ordinances regulating this use were adopted in the Spring of 2018. Planning staff then collaborated with other city departments on the process by which the use would be reviewed, inspected, approved, revenues collected, and illegal activity enforced. This session will review the public engagement process, the ordinance, collaboration with other city departments and enforcement. Speakers: Jacob Lindsey, City of Charleston, Director of Planning, Preservation and Sustainability Aaron Holly, City of Charleston, Planner Amy Southerland, AICP, City of Charleston, Deputy Director of Livability and Tourism 1.25 CM

10:45 am Ethics in Leadership- Richland Leaders influence, motivate, stimulate and mentor others to work for the common good of their

organization and community or to maintain and increase their own authority. As certified planners, we adhere to a Code of Ethics, both rules of conduct and aspirational values we strive to achieve, but each of us are also leaders, whether formally or informally. Shouldn't we also include ethics in the way we conduct our leadership? This session will help us learn more about the role of a leader, specifically discussing the idea of servant leadership, how this coordinates with the APA Code of Ethics and how to apply in our everyday lives and workplaces. Speaker: Celia Boyd Myers, AICP, Anderson County, Assistant Director of Community Development 1.5 CM 1.5(E) Plan, Implement, Invest: The Redevelopment of North Main- Carolina A Since the 2006 adoption of a master plan, the North Main Street corridor is just starting to see some momentum in private development nearly 15 years later. The slow and steady implementation of a decade-long streetscape infrastructure project, the re-zoning of the corridor, and implementing an urban design overlay district have all contributed to the revitalization. The process has been an uphill climb, from the standard land-use politics to battles over marketing campaigns. We will hear stories from a local developer who has been responsible for redeveloping several properties in a 2-block area of the corridor, an architect who has rehabilitated a building in the district for their new office location and is adding to the site, and the local planner who oversaw the rezoning and design overlay process.
