This code of ethics is not intended to discourage fair and healthy com- <br /> petition,but rather to increase the effectiveness of the communities'ability to compete <br /> for limited public and private investment. <br /> • Subregional Coordinated Planning <br /> Coordinated planning between Coalition cities allows these communities to: <br /> • Avoid destructive competition. <br /> • Alleviate land use tensions at borders. <br /> • Share information and resources. <br /> • Implement Metropolitan Blueprint goals and meet Livable Commu- <br /> nity Act objectives for affordable housing. <br /> • Use resources more efficiently. <br /> • Have a stronger voice with other levels of government through joint <br /> action. <br /> The Coalition is considering a number of ways in which subregional planning could be <br /> conducted,including(1)a subregional program that reviews and coordinates individual <br /> comprehensive plans and(2)planning principles and best practices. <br /> 1-35W Coalition Corridor Briefing Book 21 <br />
