The purpose of this chapter is to provide standards for the development of land parcels within the transit-oriented development (TOD) zone. Development in this zone is intended to provide for traditionally suburban development as a transition to the more urban development pattern allowed under the separate transit-oriented development zone overlay (TODO) and to:

A. Allow for and encourage high-quality transit-oriented development characterized by a mix of commercial and residential uses;

B. Revitalize areas proximate to TRAX and transit stations;

C. Encourage ground-level retail uses that open directly onto sidewalks adjacent to public streets, and upper floor office and residential uses;

D. Allow a mix of uses and development that are compatible with adjacent residential neighborhoods;

E. Require coordinated, thematic landscaping to provide a distinctive visual quality to the area;

F. Require pedestrian connections within and among developments and between adjacent neighborhoods;

G. Manage parking and vehicular access utilizing shared parking and driveway access, with on-street parking and parking located behind buildings or in the interior of the block; and

H. Encourage, through design, configuration, and mix of buildings and activities, a pedestrian-oriented environment and provide settings for social interaction and active community life with wide sidewalks, focal points, street trees and street furniture.
