TOD FRAMEWORK

TOD SUMMARY

OVERVIEW As a multi-use suburban emerging typology, the proposed CR 210 Station creates a new mixed-use residential district and increases regional residential and commercial density. Building upon the momentum of adjacent residential development, the TOD vision is focused on providing a walkable community with an activated streetscape, connecting medium-density multifamily residential units, and an open-space network. The proposed plan introduces a diverse type of residential units, complementing the County’s plan

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY » Create a complete community, maximizing amenities, accessibility, and recreation for residents; Introduce increased services and retail uses to create a sub- regional service note. KEY TOD STRATEGIES » Make Connections: Create a new street grid east and west of the FCCR alignment, incorporating complete street principles throughout to provide safe bike and pedestrian circulation. » Create Great Spaces: Establish a network of tree-lined streets, trails, and neighborhood pathways, connecting pocket parks and small to medium-scale plazas; Provide a variety of public spaces for gathering and recreation. » Specify a Mix of Uses: Concentrate commercial and office uses adjacent to the station to provide service to residents and visitors; Locate a mixed typology of residential uses at the periphery adjacent to the commercial/office core. » Focus Density: Focus moderate-to-high densities near the station and gradually reduce density further from the station. » Identify Opportunities: Leverage the Shoppes of Valley Ridge development to create an outdoor shopping destination; Integrate development east and west of the rail line with the proposed street grid, and implement safety improvements to the existing at-grade rail crossing.

for new workforce housing, to increase population and income diversity and support various types of open spaces to accommodate the different recreational needs of residents. Current zoning isn’t supportive of TOD and the proposed framework. Zoning amendment or rezoning will be required.

CR 210

TOD VISIONING The CR 210 Station area was selected based on its proximity to Racetrack Road, the original destination for an FCCR Station as determined in earlier planning efforts. Due to recent developments adjacent to Racetrack Road, limiting development potential, the CR 210 Station site was selected for creating new TOD opportunities*. Leveraging private and School Board

parcels, undeveloped land on the west side of the rail corridor, and the prospect of densifying existing underutilized vacant parcels east of the rail corridor, provides an exciting opportunity to create TOD. The vision is to create a complete residential community, maximizing amenities, accessibility, and recreation, thereby, increasing housing stock in the region.

* It is important to note that on the same site, 15.2 acres were approved for rezoning for the Momentum Twin Creeks Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow for a maximum of 192 multi-family workforce housing residential units. This development project has not broken ground as of 2023 and does not account for TOD. The proposed framework can be modified in the future, and as needed, to accommodate the potential TOD and the Twin Creeks Development project.
