2024 Ethics Roundup
Learn about current topics in planning ethics from the Chair of the AICP Ethics Committee. Understand current planning ethics topics, including how the AICP Code of Ethics applies to real-life challenging issues facing professionals today. Learn, firsthand, how the new Code of Ethics was applied in its first year. The updated Code of Ethics reemphasizes the commitment to equity and inclusion, to opposing harassment, and to preventing the misuse of the AICP credential. Following a short introduction on the AICP Code of Ethics – including data on current topics – speakers will present several ethics scenarios based on real-life cases brought before the Ethics Officer and the Ethics Committee in 2023. Topics will include sexual harassment, conflict of interest, and political issues. The session will include an interactive discussion segment during each of the cases and a general question and answer session at the end, as time allows. This is an interactive session designed to meet the 1 CM Ethics requirement.

New Year, New You, New Staff Report
Staff reports continue to be the most common and best way for planners to communicate community legal standards and goals to elected and appointed officials, colleagues, applicants, and citizens. However, these documents often fall flat or are unread or, quite frankly, left unloved sitting on the sidelines. It is time for planners to get in the game. It is time to reclaim the power of the staff report, the power of teaching, communicating, listening, and showcasing planners’ expertise and their love of their communities. Leave that dusty old staff report behind and focus on efficiencies (templates, AI, apps), storytelling, and leading through better planning practices. It’s a new year, so time to renew those staff reports (and the planners who write them).

Cash for Grass: Nevada’s Plan for a Sustainable Future
The Colorado River is a critical need for more than 40 million residents in small towns, major metros, and tribal communities, as well as millions of acres of farmland across its vast Basin. Since 2000, when the drought of the American West began and has continued due to climate change, most cities and towns in the region have exploded in growth. Las Vegas is no exception – its unique growth and environmental management methods have been recognized across the world. This session will delve into Southern Nevada’s success of crucial conservation strategies and aimed at addressing the drought and ensuring sustainable water management practices in the region. The session will discuss Nevada’s innovative approaches and explore the challenges, opportunities, and potential impact of these solutions on long-term water sustainability in the Silver State and American West as a whole through conservation, pricing, regulation, and education. Additionally, we will examine the importance of partnerships between government, industry, and the community to ensure a reliable water supply for future generations and how Nevada’s plan can be applied in other local communities.

ADUs and Equitable Land Use Policies
Zoning can be a leading cause of inequity in America, and progress will not be made until we start to break down the barriers of inequitable land use regulations. Moreover, zoning reform is only beneficial to those that have access to capital. Eric Kornberg of KRONBERG URBANISTS + ARCHITECTS will discuss how financing ADUs is one of the most inequitable aspects of small scale development. He will share ways to layer on affordability requirements that coincide with land use reform. These affordability requirements can soften the impact of redevelopment for residents, but it is the access to capital and training to be one’s own developer that is crucial to better outcomes.
