TOD TYPOLOGIES OVERVIEW TOD OVERVIEW
TYPOLOGY OVERVIEW As station areas vary significantly in function, character, physical form, and market potential, and are driven by several factors that vary throughout a corridor, planning goals and future development objectives for station areas should be flexible to accommodate the differences in situations at various station areas. Station TOD Typologies are a way to think about the function, character, physical form, suggested density, and market potential of station areas in the larger context of the FCCR Southeast Corridor and provides a way to group station areas that share similar attributes. In this study, station areas are grouped by Primary and Secondary TOD Typologies. Primary Typologies, which are based on the City of Jacksonville zoning code, are general descriptions of all transit station areas based on density, land uses, and infrastructure planned or in place. Secondary Typologies are based on location, spatial characteristics, and market potential. The TOD Typology for each station is shown on the map in Figure 4-2. For the purpose of this project, Secondary Typologies, shown in Figure 4-1, were defined to plan the role each station area will take on within the FCCR corridor based features like on Station Area Character, Density, Mix of Uses, Public Realm, Multimodal Connectivity, and presence of parking. Recognizing that all station areas are unique, the descriptions of Secondary Typologies are generalized to highlight key criteria and differences.
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) can generate ridership demand and creates destinations when supported by enhanced transit system, land use regulations, economic development incentives, workforce training, and through partnerships with private developers. TOD focuses on land use elements that create density and generate higher ridership. TOD at station areas along the FCCR corridor aligns with JTA’s vision to promote smart, sustainable growth, regional economic development, and readies the region to be accommodate population, employment, and tourism growth. This TOD Study demonstrates that the FCCR investment can enhance transit options, but also serve to support broader social and economic goals by promoting TOD. Each station area may face unique challenges and opportunities while many of them share similar characteristics. Grouping stations by their similar characteristics into Sub Districts/Markets, Primary and Secondary Typologies will help planners and citizens to quickly comprehend key planning considerations when developing strategies to position station area roles and functions within a larger system and meet community needs.
