LOCAL LEADERSHIP
scores high for TOD desirability and readiness as it offers opportunities for connectivity to the historic district as well as to education, and employment in various light industrial properties and older commercial business parks. Leveraging nearby vacant parcels and underutilized parcels provides opportunities to develop TOD to support connectivity to essential services for adjacent land uses. Market strength is high for the SR 312 Station due to the recent construction of multifamily development and support for commuters desiring to access work in the historic district and surrounding area.
• Existing industrial and big-box retail development in the station area is competition for space that could be used for TOD • Some smaller soft sites may need to be assembled to be developable, limiting near term development potential to a few bigger parcels • Recent multifamily deliveries may have captured most of existing multifamily demand, demonstrated by the limited pipeline • SR 312 is a barrier to the development of vacant parcels to the north of the proposed station area • Electrical grid easement limits development to the west of the proposed station area
• Recent delivery of large, luxury multifamily developments and a strong pipeline of neighborhood retail. • Proximity to the historic center of St. Augustine could attract demand from employees in the tourism industry .
