5. County Planning Efforts Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Transportation choices Compact development within ¼ to ½ mile of station Connectivity Pedestrian scale & amenities Mix of land uses Mix of housing types, densities and prices Coordinated infrastructure

6. County Planning Efforts Benefits of TOD • Connectivity & mobility choices • Transit ridership • Walking & bicycling • Lowers energy consumption • More disposal household income • Housing more affordable • Economic development • Infill & redevelopment • Can decrease infrastructure costs • A sense of place

7. County Planning Efforts • Sand Lake Station opening May 2014 • Significant Federal, State & County investment • Long term--desire to expand service throughout region • Success depends on getting TOD right -Need to Maximize Infrastructure $$

8. County Planning Efforts What heave we done so far? • TOD Overlay • Public Meetings and Interview • Concept Plan • Design Guidelines • Master Plan & MXDAC • Developing Mixed-Use codes

9. County Planning Efforts Mixed-Use Development Activity Center (MXDAC) Designation • Requires BCC approval • Promote infill and redevelopment • Does not require a Comprehensive Plan amendment • TOD, one of 4 categories of MXDACs • Master Planning approach • Subdistricts differ in intensity: Core, Transitional, Edge

10. MXDAC Designation Process • Sand Lake Station Area TOD-MXDAC –designation process Next Completed CONCEPT PLAN MASTER PLAN PD-LUP DP • Concept Plan (Advisory report) • Citizen input • Staff review • Master Plan • DRC review • P&Z workshop • BCC approval • PD-LUP • DRC recommendation • P&Z approval • BCC approval • Development Plan • DRC approval • Can require BCC approval WE ARE HERE

11. MXDAC Designation Process Master Plan– required elements • Vision-- community input (themes) • Boundary • Sub-districts • Core • Transition • Edge • Mobility/circulation system plan • Open space plan • Guidelines: site and design standards Conceptual

12. SLR Concept Plan Community Themes • Connectivity • Traffic Calming • Orange Ave • Stormwater • TOD • County—active role in development
