PLANNING INTERN

McCamant & Durrett Architects/ The Cohousing Company

Nevada City, CA

McCAMANT & DURRETT ARCHITECTS/ THE COHOUSING COMPANY (MDA) is an
architecture and consulting firm internationally known for its
community architecture. We have received extensive recognition in the
media and through numerous awards for cohousing neighborhoods and
affordable housing that exemplify a sense of community, as well as for
mixed-use planning and urban design schemes. The firm employs a staff
of skilled architects, community organizers and designers. MDA brings
the highest level of care and design to all of its projects, large or
small.

INTENT OF THE INTERNSHIP:  The intent of the internship is to give
individuals, who are usually fresh out of planning school (graduate or
undergraduate), the opportunity for professional growth while they
contribute to a studio that is doing cutting-edge work.  We provide an
intermediate experience between school and professional work.  An
internship here is an opportunity to participate in an office with a
distinct social agenda – promotion of community, creating more
sustainable neighborhoods, and contribution to the human quality of
the built environment.

While our firm is predominantly an architecture firm, we are very
involved in neighborhood design, planning and development research,
site feasibility and small town planning schemes. Working in our
office would give you experience interfacing with architects,
developers, city and county planning officials and many more in the
field of design and development, depending on the projects we are
working on at the time of the internship.

SKILLS and RESPONSIBILITIES:

Undergraduate or graduate degree in planning, urban design or a related field.
Excellent writing and research skills.
Familiarity with zoning code and development approval process.
Interest in neighborhood and urban design that demonstrates a genuine
concern about quality of life issues, social justice, and
environmental design practices.
Ability to research and apply for RFQs and RFPs for urban design and
small planning projects.
Assist with feasibility research (zoning review, buildable area,
restrictions, review process, site characteristics, neighborhood
context, etc.); work with cohousing groups, developers or realtors to
find potential cohousing sites
Assist with preparation of written documents for city/county approvals
(zoning code review, master plan, sustainability requirements, etc.
Follow local planning and development or regulatory issues for
involvement (e.g. Housing Element; identification of higher-density
residential sites, etc.)


DESIGN PHILOSOPHY:  It is our aim to honor natural resources and to
facilitate environmental design of the highest standard possible.  We
strive to make the buildings and environments beautiful and to employ
energy- and resource-efficient building techniques. We are interested
in creating a more livable, walkable living environment through
pedestrian-measures, more dense building environments, mixed-use
neighborhoods and many more environmental and sustainable design
elements.



COMPENSATION:  Interns volunteer for the first month and are then paid
minimum wage for the following months.  We do not attempt to make
money with intern labor.  If a six-month internship is not possible
for you, a shorter unpaid option may be possible.



NEXT STEP:  Please send a résumé and samples of your work (planning
projects or reports; neighborhood schemes – anything written or
graphic that represents your interests and work to date) to Charles
Durrett (charles.durrett@...).  If we are interested, we
will call you to set up a time to speak with you.  Thanks very much
for your interest.

Joseph Kott, PhD, AICP, PTP
Lecturer and Visiting Scholar
Stanford Program on Urban Studies

Please join us for the Sustainable Transportation Seminar Friday, 2:30
– 3:30 pm, in Y2E2 room 105.

Joseph Kott will be presenting “Sustainable Streets, Sustainable Transportation”

Abstract: Since automobile use became widespread in North America,
Europe, and Australia during the first two decades of the 20th
century, cities and their streets have been re-shaped to adapt to the
motor vehicle surge. Efforts are now underway to re-define the purpose
of arterial streets and to re-design these important thoroughfares
accordingly. This movement has taken a variety of names, including
“Livable Streets”, “Context Sensitive Streets” and “Complete Streets”.
Such streets are multimodal transport links as well as places for
socio-economic life and active living.  This talk presents partial
findings, mainly those pertaining to pedestrian activity, from
research on assessing just how “active” and “sustainable” are a set of
arterial streets in five San Francisco Bay Area cities. Six streets,
two re-designed as more “livable” or more “context sensitive” streets,
and four more conventional arterial streets, are compared across a set
of objective performance metrics and subjective assessments from
street users and businesses. The analysis was grounded in a mixed
methods approach. Streets were evaluated on an array of quantitative
measures, as well as the results of six street user focus groups and
surveys of 716 street users and local businesses. An important outcome
of the research is a framework or model for influences on and supports
for street activity and sustainability. Thesis findings affirm the
importance to communities of multi-purpose street environments.
Thesis results show that arterial streets can be re-designed to
engender activity and promote sustainability. This research confirmed
the importance of providing space on arterial streets for pedestrians,
cyclists, and transit users.

Bio: Joseph Kott, PhD, AICP, PTP:  Dr. Joseph Kott has over thirty
years of experience in transportation planning at the local, regional,
and state geographic scales for both public agencies and private
consultancies. He served as Chief Transportation Official for the City

transportation and the environment and planning for sustainable urban
and regional transportation as an adjunct faculty member within the
San Jose State University Department of Urban and Regional Planning
and the Stanford University Program on Urban Studies, where he also
serves as Visiting Scholar.

Dr. Kott holds a B.A. from Wayne State University in Detroit, a

North Carolina at Chapel Hill, master’s degrees in both transport
planning and traffic engineering from Monash University in Melbourne,
Australia, and a PhD in urban and regional transport planning from

The Impact of a Mass Rapid Transit System on Residential Property Values:
The Case of Kaohsiung, Taiwan


Abstract: The construction of a public transit system in a large
metropolitan area can relieve congestion, enhance mobility, and
improve air quality. In a well-functioning housing market, these
benefits will be reflected in housing prices. In this paper, we
analyze transactions of apartments with elevators from 2007 and 2009
in Kaohsiung (Taiwan’s second largest city) to capture the impact of
the opening in 2008 of a new mass rapid transit (MRT) system. Our data
includes time on market information (TOM) so we integrate two-stage
least-squares in a geographically weighted regression model to tackle
the joint determination of price and TOM while allowing for spatial
non-stationarity. We find evidence of spatial non-stationarity but
accounting for TOM has a negligible impact on our results. Moreover,
the opening of the MRT had a statistically significant and positive
impact on the value of apartments with elevators, although the value
of this MRT was (surprisingly) not fully capitalized in the housing
market in 2007.


Bio: Jean-Daniel Saphores is an associate professor in civil and
environmental  engineering at the University of California, Irvine. He
earned a PhD in  applied economics as well as a Master in
environmental systems engineering  from Cornell University. His
research interests include transportation  systems and environmental

NCRA is an association of recycling businesses, community groups,
municipalities, and individuals committed to promoting, expanding, and
institutionalizing recycling.

As communities throughout California are mandated by AB 32 to adopt measures to
reduce green house emissions to 1990 levels, municipalities are seeking ways to
implement the commercial recycling componenet of the Bill.

International Zero Waste Week 2013 will feature professionals in the solid waste
industry who are actively seeking input from Planners and APA on developing
strategies and best practices to cite compost and materials recovery facilities
as landfill alternatives.  This is an important land use issue as communities
grapple with reducing GHG emissions, and finding alternatives to landfills, a
significant GHG generator, is a major part of the solution.
