TOD Streetscape Sidewalk & Amenity Zone Determined by street type Will have applicability by district Minimum dimensions Pedestrian Connectivity Refinement of current ordinance regulations

TOD Use Special use eliminated Use matrix only permitted uses All uses defined Generic use approach Prescribed conditions Why not just list prohibited uses?

TOD Administration Administrative Adjustment Planning Director Proposed 10% modification to a quantitative standards Alternative Compliance Determining “how” without quasi-judicial process Alternative compliance to more qualitative standards TOD-___-EX Cite base district in name Similar to TOD-Optional Public benefit as part of the process

TOD Site Elements Parking No minimum in TOD-H1/-M1 Maximums in all districts Bicycle parking Signs Determining appropriate signs in TOD (pedestrian-oriented) Scaled to district form Landscape Parking lot perimeter Buffer yard

TOD A Bigger Picture… Foundation Sets a course for full UDO Establishes graphic style Key Parts of UDO Use approach Form criteria Note: The order presented in previous hand-out is not the final order of standards Less emphasis on use More emphasis on form & character
