FLU Goals/Objectives/Policies Objective 17.2: Establish a Future Transit Envelope and Transit Oriented Development Overlay to guide redevelopment of a fixed- guideway transit system and station areasObjective 17.2: Establish a Future Transit Envelope and Transit Oriented Development Overlay to guide redevelopment of a fixed- guideway transit system and station areas –Policy : The TOD Overlay applies only to lands that meet the following criteria: Within the Urban Service AreaWithin the Urban Service Area Within the Future Transit EnvelopeWithin the Future Transit Envelope Located within ½ mile of a fixed-guideway transit station, known as the ‘Area of Influence’Located within ½ mile of a fixed-guideway transit station, known as the ‘Area of Influence’

FLU Goals/Objectives/Policies by defining the densities, intensities, and allowable range of uses that may be achievedPolicy : Transit Station Area Typologies (Table TOD-2) shall be used as an overlay to the Future Land Use Summary Table, by defining the densities, intensities, and allowable range of uses that may be achieved, thereby creating the desired land use characteristics needed for successful Transit Oriented Development. pedestrian/bicycle facilitiesamenities that would decrease automobile use and parking demands mixture of uses within a unified developmentaccessibility…for persons with disabilitiesPolicy : “TOD Bonus”…parcels within…TOD Overlay…provide transit-oriented amenities…Transit-oriented amenities can include…improvements to pedestrian/bicycle facilities and connections…design amenities that would decrease automobile use and parking demands, provision of a mixture of uses within a unified development, and increased accessibility…for persons with disabilities.
