Transit-Oriented District

The Transit-Oriented TO district is established and intended to; Encourage transit use as an alternative to auto dependency by accommodating moderate- to high-intensity, compact, mixed-use, and pedestrian-oriented development within convenient walking distance of existing and planned rail stations, major transit corridors, major transit hubs, regional and neighborhood transit hubs, and high-priority corridors for bus rapid transit or high- performance transit; Bring together people, jobs, services, and public spaces and amenities in a way that allows people to safely and conveniently walk, bike, and/or take transit to meet their day-to-day housing, employment, shopping, service, and recreational needs.; Improve walkability within the district, as well as to adjacent areas, by providing a critical mass of housing and non-residential within walking distance of the commercial core and transit routes and facilities.; Enable the appropriate natural surveillance of the public realm to ensure safety and activity along district streets and create the sense of a vibrant and active urban center.; Ensure a compatible transition between the district's commercial/mixed-use areas and lower-intensity residential neighborhoods and between the district and adjacent residential neighborhoods, where applicable.
