Development Patterns Issues for The Chip Game

Below are some Taylor County issues or constraints to keep in mind when playing The Chip Game.

  1. Retain and maintain hunting and fishing/outdoor recreation opportunities for
    residents

  2. Taylor County should hire a professional planner

  3. Taylor County needs a zoning map and/or design standards/controls

  4. Provide public access to water resources

  5. Re-create Perry as the authentic urban center of Taylor County

  6. Keep parts of the County rural and create development centers (urban clusters or
    town centers)

  7. Collect impact fees to fund public improvements. Make sure that infrastructure is in
    place before development occurs

  8. Provide public access to water resources

  9. Can low density development support the needed infrastructure, such as hospitals,
    fire and emergency response, social needs, schools, etc?

  10. Partner with the State to enhance public access and amenities on the Public lands;
    pressure the state for recreational planning funds

  11. Designate an industrial park for non-residential land use

  12. Designate an area for higher educational and/or non-profit organization use. A
    location for a community college should be considered

  13. Promote eco-tourism opportunities in the public lands

  14. Consider a Rural Land Stewardship or Transfer of Development Rights program to
    create “sending areas” designated for conservation and “receiving areas” designated
    for development.
