Transit-Oriented Development. The City would like Owner to construct mid-rise higher density apartments with mixed-use ground floor commercial east of Town Center Drive near the BRT line, because the City finds that:
Transit-Oriented Development. Locate mixed-use, medium to higher density development in appropriate locations along transit corridors. The Project appears to support implementation of this goal. Goal DES-3. New Development in Built Areas. New construction should occur in a compact form in developed locations whenever feasible. The Project appears to support implementation of this goal. Goal DES-5. Attractive and Functional Streets and Parking Areas. Design automobile use areas to fit the character of the community, and comfortably accommodate travel by pedestrians and bicyclists, while still meeting health, safety, and emergency access needs. This goal will be particularly relevant to the Project given the new parking guidelines Marinwood Plaza Project EIR 1-29
Transit-Oriented Development. Should the County accept the proposed location in Symphony Overlook as discussed in the DRRA, as generally identified on the TIF maps, and with approximately the same footprint area as identified on p.11 of the 2011 Xxxxxx/Xxxxxxx Transit Study prepared for CEPPA No. 5, then the Developer shall provide the site and all air rights above the site to the County by fee simple absolute transfer for no cost to the County. The transfer of the site and air rights shall occur in conjunction with the redevelopment of this area of Symphony Overlook known as 10-30 Columbia Corporate Center and following approval of an SDP for such redevelopment, but the site identification contained herein and commitment to transfer the property in fee simple absolute, including the air rights above and placement of a recorded covenant on the site with these terms, is intended upon Planning Board approval to constitute full satisfaction of CEPPA No. 14. If such transfer of the site has not occurred within ten (10) years, the County may elect to extend this requirement or request an alternate site and immediate turnover under the same terms as described above, specifically transfer by fee simple absolute with air rights above. Any development on the Transit Center site, whether the Symphony Overlook site or another site, shall not count against the density caps established in the Downtown Columbia Plan, except to the extent that Developer or its affiliates are a partner in the project, in which case the amount of development that counts against the density caps shall be proportional to Developer or its affiliates’ ownership. In the event that the County elects to, following transfer of the Transit Center site, sell all or a portion of the Transit Center site, Developer shall have, assuming that no related tax-exempt bonds have been issued and remain outstanding which would preclude such a right, a right of first refusal to purchase the Transit Center site or portion thereof to be offered for sale. After the future Downtown Columbia Transit Center location is identified and accepted by the County, the Developer will work with the County to produce a first- class transit-oriented development, which utilizes national best practices for transit-oriented development, maximizing the compactness, density, walkability, bikeability, and mix of uses surrounding the site so as to promote transportation choices beyond the single-occupancy vehicle.
Transit-Oriented Development. Transit-oriented development is compact, mixed-use development near transit facilities and high-quality walking environments which leverages transit infrastructure to promote economic development and smart growth (see Section 5.23 in Part Three of this Joint Development Solicitation) and caters to shifting market demands and lifestyle preferences. Transit-Oriented Development is about creating sustainable communities where people of all ages and incomes have transportation and housing choices, increasing location efficiency where people can walk, bike and take transit. In addition, transit-oriented development boosts ridership of transit systems and reduces automobile congestion, providing value for both the public and private sectors while creating a sense of community and place. For WMATA’s more specific purposes, Transit-Oriented Development means a development program that is compatible with and synergistic to a heavy rail transit station, including (without limitation): a walkable mixed-use community; active public amenities (such as performance spaces, libraries, day care centers, community meeting rooms, police substations and other uses that attract the public); open space in the form of high-quality small urban parks and plazas with facilities and activities customized to the size and location; the creation of a sense of place; unobtrusive loading and delivery facilities that do not detract from pedestrian and visual attraction; high-quality lighting and safe station areas; good connections with the surrounding properties, streets and neighborhoods where feasible so as to provide them access to the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx by bicycle and on foot; encouragement of transit ridership, whether by rail or by bus, whether by physical design or providing financial incentives; and reduction of automobile dependency by all of the foregoing means and also by other means such as transportation demand management, bike sharing and car sharing, eliminating or reducing free parking and unbundling parking fees from rent. The quality of the integration of the proposed development with the existing Xxxxx Xxxxxxx is an important component of a Transit-Oriented Development. For informational purposes, sample qualitative and quantitative guidelines for specific attributes of transit- oriented development are also available in the publication entitled “The XXX Standard” published by the Institute for Transportation Development Policy at xxx.xxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxx.

Transit-Oriented Development. TransLink and the Municipalities’ commitments to Transit-Oriented Development are set out in sections 4 through 9 of the City of Surrey, Township of Xxxxxxx and the Xxxxxxx City SPAs.
Transit-Oriented Development. Pedestrian-friendly development focused around a major transit access point or Public Transit Center. Elements include compact, mixed-use development with facilities and design that enhance the environment for pedestrians in terms of safety, walking distances, comfort and the visual appeal of the surroundings. • Transmission Line: Line carrying power from the point of generation and delivers it to distribution substations. Transmission lines operate at a nominal voltage of fifty-five (55) kilovolts or more, usually one hundred fifteen (115) or two hundred thirty (230) kilovolts. • Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Study: See Appendix C, Section 11.7. • Transportation Management Plan (TMP): A contract between the City and a property owner, employer, or group of employers stating that the property owner or employer(s) will provide education, opportunities, and employee incentives and ride sharing, parking incentives and other transportation alternatives. The TMP also addresses the responsibility of the property owner or employer(s) for monitoring the success of the TMP and reporting the annual results to the City.
