2 TOD Defined A compact neighborhood with housing, jobs and neighborhood services within easy walking distance of a transit station and offering multiple travel options.

3 Why TOD? More sustainable and efficient Boosts transit ridership and reduces traffic Provides a rich mix of housing, jobs, and shops Provides value for public and private sectors Promotes healthier lifestyles Creates a sense of place Helps conserve open space and rural areas Implements existing goals of Comprehensive Plan

4 Why TOD? Helps Address New Requirements in State Law: Foundation of mobility strategy Links land use and multi-modal transportation More efficient land use patterns and reduction of VMT via use of transit Further focuses growth in the Urban Service Area

5 Implementing Successful TOD Process & Stakeholder Involvement Proposed TOD Policy Framework

6 JLUWG Purpose The joint land use working group was formed as a collaborative effort between HART, the Hillsborough County-City County Planning Commission and the Hillsborough County Metropolitan Planning Organization.

7 JLUWG Purpose To coordinate efforts to implement fixed guide way transit and transit oriented development Outreach to stakeholders and get input on: HART Alternatives Analysis Planning Commission development of TOD policies MPO Long Range Transportation Plan

8 JLUWG Progress Stakeholders include: Hillsborough County Cities of Tampa, Plant City and Temple Terrace Environmental Protection Commission Aviation Authority Business Interests NAIOP, Development Community Florida Department of Transportation Community Groups - Westshore Alliance, Tampa Downtown Partnership, U-CAN, THAN Adjacent Local Governments Pinellas, Pasco

9 TOD Policy Framework 1. TOD Station Typologies 2. TOD FLU Floating Overlay 3. Station Area Plan Components 4. Station Area Design Principles

10 TOD Station Typologies High Intensity Urban Station Mixed Use Regional Stations Community Stations Neighborhood Center Stations Employment Center Stations Special Stations Park and Ride

11 High Intensity Urban Station Primary Center of Economic and Cultural Activity High Density Mix of office, residential, commercial, entertainment and civic/government uses Intermodal facility transit hub supporting all modes of transit

12 Mixed Use Regional Stations Located in regional shopping, office centers and medium to high density residential Mix of office, retail, residential, commercial, entertainment and public/semi-public uses Regional scale destination linked with local feeder connections

13 Community Center Local center of activities for surrounding neighborhoods Provide places to live, work and shop Low to mid-rise apartments, condos and townhomes Walk up station with potential for localized parking/local transit connections

14 Neighborhood Center Stations Serve established and planned residential neighborhoods Low to Moderate Density Protection of adjacent neighborhoods Local feeder system with walk-up stops

15 Employment Center Stations Serve established and planned employment centers Regional Destination Linked with high quality local transit feeder connections.

16 Park & Ride/Special Stations Employment and Industrial Areas Office and retail uses Capture station for in-bound commuters Large park n ride with local & express bus service

17 TOD FLU Floating Overlay Steps 1. Upon transit system approval, 0.5 mile radius from fixed-guideway station is designated 2. Station Area Plan Boundaries Determined 3. Station Area Plans Completed & Adopted

18 TOD FLU Floating Overlay 1. Floating TOD Overlay lands (0.5 Miles from Stations) Represents the Area of Influence where planning for TOD will be focused

19 TOD FLU Floating Overlay 2. Station Area Plan Boundaries Determined Where feasible, will include ½ mile walking distance from stations Take into account physical, environmental, and community/neighborhood boundaries City Council will review/approve plan boundaries Once adopted, interim TOD zoning districts become available

20 TOD FLU Floating Overlay 3. Completion & Adoption of Station Area Plans Plans will be completed by City, Planning Commission, etc. as determined by interlocal agreement Plans can be funded by private interests, but must be overseen by public agency City Council will review/approve plans and Area-Wide Rezoning

24 Station Area Plan Components

25 TOD Design Principles Land Use Variety in housing and mix of uses Market Analysis Density/Intensity

26 TOD Design Principles Connectivity On-Site/Off-Site Connections Bike Parking Street Section Design Parking Flexibility

27 TOD Design Principles Community Design Beautiful and Active Buildings Improved Streetscape New Public Spaces & Programming

28 Schedule Planning Commission Public Hearing February 8, 2010 Public Hearings with City of Tampa and Hillsborough County March/April 2010 DCA Review Adoption Late Summer 2010

29 Why TOD? FTA New Starts Program Priorities SUMMARY RATING PROJECT JUSTIFICATION RATING Must be at least Medium FINANCIAL RATING At least Medium CAPITAL FINANCES 20% MOBILITY IMPROVEMENTS USER BENEFITS LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS 10% ENVIRON- MENTAL BENEFITS 10% OP. EFFICIENCIES 20% LAND USE 20% COST EFFECTIVENESS CAPITAL COST O & M COSTS 20% ECO- NOMIC DEVEL- OPMENT EFFECTS (new!) NON-SECTION 5309 OPERATING FINANCES EMPLOYMENT USER BENEFITS

30 How Much Potential? The experience of other areas. - Home values up 4-17% near rail (Philadelphia, Miami-Dade, Southern NJ, Portland, San Diego) - Commercial values up 10-30% near rail (San Diego, San Francisco, Dallas) - Local ad valorem revenues up 10% short-term and up 191% long-term near rail (Portland, Chicago)

31 Market Research 7 sample areas Demographic data HH characteristics - ESRI Hills. Co. Plng. Comm. S-F & M-F permits - HUD IRS Migration Profiles Commercial data Woods & Poole (jobs) CoStar Realty (absorption) Tourism data Tampa Bay & Co. Smith Travel Research

32 Station Areas: Market Potential Regional stations * Land assembly issues; redevelop surface parking & aging commercial structures - University Area: MF du s, up to 800k SF office Joint R&D with USF - Downtown: MF du s (assuming incentives) 2.6-3m SF office 350 hotel rooms - Westshore Dist.: MF du s (up 50%) 1.7-2m SF office (up 43%)

33 Station Areas: Market Potential Community & Neighborhood stations * Retail growth driven by rooftop growth - Westchase: MF du s K SF office: new greenfield center - East Tampa: MF du s K SF office: spin-off from Downtown - New Tampa: MF du s K SF office: new sub-market - Brandon: MF du s thru mixed redevmt K SF office

34 Ground Truthing Interviews Interviewed Developers with Experience in TOD and in Florida Market * NAIOP focus group * Crosland * Newland * Tampa Economic Development Dept.

35 IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSIS 1. What is the Likelihood of Achieving the Level of Market Potential Projected at the Station Areas Without Transit? Not Likely 17% Do Not Know 0% Very Likely 17% Somewhat Likely 17% Somewhat Not Likely 49%

36 IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSIS 2. What is the Likelihood of Achieving the Level of Market Potential Projected at the Station Areas With Transit? Somewhat Likely 17% Very Likely 83%

37 IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSIS What demographic would be attracted? All incomes, varies by area White and blue collar Upward mobile Professionals Students First-time household formation year old, Echo Boomer

38 IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSIS What obstacles do you foresee in achieving this level of development? Cost Zoning, bureaucratic, and overly restrictive regulations Public perception and gaining support Lack of initial planning Hometown Democracy

39 IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSIS What are some suggestions to address obstacles? Align interest groups (work with planners, developers, communities, and politicians) Incorporate private sector in preparing LDRs Create functional densities and market driven development criteria Market the idea, such as a new business markets a new concept Provide shared or alternative parking solutions

40 IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSIS

41 IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSIS What are unique market characteristics to consider? Everything about the TOD effort is new to Florida It is job growth and population driven Recommend that development not be directed to areas that do not make sense in the market place
