Introduction
• City and County planning offices deal with land development proposals on a daily basis.
• Generally, there will be a land development guideline that establish the steps/stages that the land developer has to follow and receive approval.
• The development review board examines the proposal and compares it to the local planning documents, ordinances, and regulations and approvals/disapprovals are registered.
• Public input about the development is also solicited and compiled.
• Eventually, the development is examined by the planning commission and ultimately the city council or county commission.
Problem
• Spatial Decision Support Systems have generally neglected local planning documents, ordinances and regulations.
• Assume that decisions are based on logical analysis of geo-referenced data and the results of modeling
• A new housing development identifies a location and wants to build an apartment complex.
• Two key questions:
• Does Laramie need another apartment complex?
• What are the pros/cons for the location selected for the apartment complex?
Utilization of SDSS
• Two Major Uses
• 1. Determine Potential Locations of a Facility based on Modeling and Spatial Analysis
• 2. Determine the Advantages/Disadvantages of Locating a Facility at a Specific Location based on Modeling and Spatial Analysis
Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS)
• Designed to provide solutions for complex spatial problems

Academic Research in SDSS
• The normalization condition is expressed analytically as:
• m j=1p(wj)wj = 1, wj > 0, 0 ≤ p(wj) ≤ 1, (5)
• The ProMAA algorithm can also utilize probability distributions of criteria utilities and weight coefficients for assessing probabilities of “likely rank events” (where events are associated with metrics in our decision problem) based on pairwise comparison of alternatives in an integrated scale. In this case realizations of ProMAA are based on numerical approximation of functions of random variables and numerical assessment of integrals (Yatsalo, 2011). “Rank acceptability indices” are the output of ProMAA.

Utilization of a GIS / Spatial Decision Support System • Static Spatial Data
• Dynamic Spatial Data
• Non-Spatial Data
• Create Indicators/Metrics:
• Transformation of Planning Documents into Decision Entities
• Transformation of Ordinances, Regulations and Policies into Decision Entities
Converting Planning Documents into SDSS
• Key Indicators • Measureable Factors
• Quantitative Value
• Dichotomous Value
• Classification System
• Metric Value • Allowable Range
• Maximum Limit
• Minimum Limit
Turner Tract
The Pointe at UW • Total 72 Apartment Units with 288 Bedrooms
• Shuttle to UW Campus
• Gated Community
The Point at UW
• Six Apartment Buildings with 12 units in each Apartment
• 4 bedrooms in each Apartment with 4 separate bathrooms
Land Development Guidelines of Location
• Current Zoning
• Future Land Use
• Unified Development Code
• Site Design
• Environmental Considerations
• Infrastructure Considerations
• Transportation Considerations
• Safety Considerations
• Parking
• Casper Aquifer Overlay Zone
• Landscaping
• Stormwater Runoff/Retention
• Parks and Open Space
• Fences and Walls
• Lighting
• Signage
Turner Tract Policies • Require compliance with the Turner Tract Area Plan for any development
proposed within the planning area boundaries. • Market the Turner Tract as a mixed use neighborhood that offers a variety
of uses and opportunities related to housing, employment education, civic engagement and recreation and easy connection with the rest of the Laramie community.
• Encourage non-residential, commercial and office development in the central portion of the Tract.
• Allow for a variety of housing densities and styles. • Continue to establish a circulation system that enhances connections both
within the Turner Tract as well as connecting with other neighborhoods to the west and east.
• Continue recreation and civic sues as major anchors for the Turner Tract.
Indicator/Metric
• Current Zoning-Low Density Residential (LR) • Four units per acre, Single Family
• Future Zoning-Suburban Residential (SR) • Four units per acre, Single Family
• Turner Tract Policy-Mixed Use Neighborhood • Residential Percent or Number of units
• Commercial/Office Percent or Number of Employment
• Recreation Percent or Area
• Civic/Public Percent or Area
