2 Overview What is TOD TOD principals TOD benefits TOD typologies Winnipeg plans Implications Dallas, Los Angeles, Portland TODs

3 The twentieth century was about getting around. The twenty-first Century will be about staying in a place worth staying in. James Howard Kunstler

4 A Place Worth Staying In Great neighborhoods Balance with nature Taming the automobile Fun & surprise 18-hour places Designed for walking Socially equitable

5 Creating places with lasting value

6 TOD or TAD? Transit-Oriented Development or Transit Adjacent Development LRT Station Majority of development at US transit stations are not TODs TOD is still illegal in at most of US transit stops Not enough to be next to transit, must be shaped by transit Cisco Systems TAD San Jose, CA Street Car TOD Portland, OR

7 Shaped by Transit Greater density Less parking Better public realm Mix of uses Very walkable Tame the car San Diego, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, DC, Denver

10 Transit-Oriented Development

11 Orenco Station Fundamentals for TOD a great neighborhood Safe streets Strong center Local services Parks & open space Housing choices Good jobs LRT Station LRT Station

12 Winnipeg TOD Definition: Moderate to higher density compact mixed use density located within an easy five to ten minute walk of a major transit stop. TOD involves high quality urban development with a mix of residential, employment and shopping opportunities designed in a pedestrian oriented manner without excluding the automobile.tod can be new construction or redevelopment of one or more buildings whose design and orientation facilitate the use of public transit and Active Transportation modes

13 Market for TOD

14 Understanding your market Emerging Trends in Real Estate 10: "The future is about green development, infill, and TOD" Majority of TOD residents are childless Empty-nesters & young urban professionals TOD households tend to be higher income Reflects newer construction

15 Decline in Families w/ Children 50% of households 33% of households 88% of future demand for housing is for families without children 12% of households

16 Residents Near Transit Want From Transit Community Resident Surveys: Well designed communities Easy access to a center High quality residence Quality transit service Pedestrian Friendly Good price value The ability to walk to a pint of milk The Merrick Orenco Town Center

17 TOD Principles

18 * a successful Principles for TOD 1. Medium to higher density 2. Mix of uses 3. Compact pedestrian-oriented 4. Active defined centre 5. Limited, managed parking 6. Public leadership

19 * 1. a successful Principles for TOD 1. Medium to higher density Greater than community average Distance to transit matters To support transit on average: 15 to 17 du/ha for frequent bus 22 to 62 du/ha for rapid transit Retail & office closet to transit Minimum density effective tool

20 Rosslyn Ballston Corridor Development since m square meters office 14,400 residential units Station areas 25% county housing 37% county jobs Transit Access Arlington: 73% walk, 13% by car Land use can change transportation behavior Fairfax: 15% walk, 58% by car

21 An Oasis of Stability Amid a Downturn The New York Times October 7, 2009 (The Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor) has remained resilient during the worst recession in decades, and should continue to do so

22 * Mix of uses a successful Principles for TOD Vertical or Horizontal Most difficult TOD element Great TOD benefits More walking More ridership Reduced auto-use Prohibit auto-oriented uses closest to transit

23 Pearl District Portland Former rail yard & warehouses Public & private development agreement Housing Infrastructure Parks Development since 1997 $750m units built 325 units per ha minimum density Before

24 Uptown San Diego Former Sears store 14 acre Bus TOD 318 units / 42 DU acre 145k grocery store / main street retail /office City owned site

25 * Compact pedestrian-oriented Block sizes for 5-minute walk Max of 122 metres Orient buildings to sidewalks Calm streets a successful Principles for TOD Active street edges with wider sidewalks

26 Core Center Edge Core: Up to 180 m greatest intensity Center: 600 to 400 m intermediate intensity Edge: 400 to 800 m greater than community average of intensity Core Center Edge

27 Distance & Mode Share 2005 WMATA Development-Related Ridership Survey Distance from station Metrorail Mode Share Office Residential Auto Mode Share Office Residential At station 35% 54% 48% 29% ¼ mile 23% 43% 66% 41% ½ mile 10% 31% 83% 54% 35% of office trips right at the station entrance Office mode share drops about 1% every 100 ft ½ mile residential share 200% higher than office

28 Eastside Village Plano TX Station and TOD linked by a plaza City assembled site & issued RFP Up zoned to 130 DU ha, 234 units 5 levels of parking $17.7m project $2m public investment

29 * 4. a successful Principles for TOD 4. Active defined centre 18 hours of activity Quality public realm /sense of place Employment closest to transit Compact & dense

30 Bloomington Central Bloomington, Mn 17.4 ha adaptive reuse 1,100 residential units 126 units per ha 350 room hotel 185k sq m office.6 ha park

31 * 5. a successful Principles for TOD 5. Limited, managed parking Always a challenging issue Consider: size, location, design & management No minimum ratios, maximums Disconnect parking from buildings, manage by district

32 TODs create less traffic TOD residents are: Twice as likely not to own a car as US Households 5 times more likely to commute by transit than others in region Self-selection: Responsible for up to 40% of TOD ridership bonus

33 TODs behave Differently 10 Trips Daily car trips for 50 dwellings SF 500 MF 333 TOD MF Trips 6.67 Trips Multifamily TOD Multifamily Single Family

34 Ohlone-Chynoweth San Jose 7.3 acres park & ride 195 units affordable housing, day care, retail, 240 park & ride spaces (reduced from 1,100) $31.6 m project San Jose s Smart Growth Housing 20,000+ units near transit since 1990

35 Transit Rich Neighborhoods Allows 16% more savings 16% more household wealth Other Expenses 59% Housing 32% Other Expenses 49% Housing 32% Other Expenses 43% Housing 32% Transportation 9% Transportation 19% Transportation 25% Transit Rich Neighborhood Average American Family Auto Dependant Exurbs

36 * 6. a successful Principles for TOD 6. Public leadership Generally critical for success Align political will & TOD objectives TOD plans + capital budget aligned Focus on implementation Nurture progressive developers

38 TOD Typologies

39

40 The highest density & greatest mix of uses within a TOD >98+ units per ha 4 to 30 storey buildings

41 Next ring of development, same mix of uses, slightly less density >74+ units per ha 3 to 12 storey buildings

42 Transition between denser urban centres and neighbourhoods 37 min to 74 max units per ha 2 to 20 storey buildings

43 Primarily residential, local serving retail & office. Scales down on edges 30 min to 50 max units per ha 2 to 5 storey buildings

44 Transition to non-tod land uses, same uses as adjacent areas 17 min to 30 max units per ha 1 to 3 storey buildings

45 Linear pattern, dense along corridor. Urban & Quality Corridors 17 min to 50 max units per ha 1 to 5 storey buildings

46 Evaluating your plans

47 Evaluating your plans TOD evaluation criteria Land use Site & building design Street patterns & parking Effectiveness in achieving TOD outcomes

48 Summary Evaluation: Policy Plan Winnipeg 2020 Vision Level of TOD Consistency Land Use High Site & Building Design High Street Patterns & Parking High CentrePlan Develp Framework 08 High Mod-high Mod-high Osborne Village Mod-high Mod-high Mod-high Downtown Urban Design Guidelines NA Moderate Moderate Pioneer & Waterfront Guidelines Mod-high Moderate Moderate Infill Guidelines MF in Low Density NA Moderate Moderate

49 Plan Winnipeg 2020 Vision Level of TOD Consistency Land Use High Site & Building Design High Street Patterns & Parking High Clear transportation land use link Major focus on city centre Encourages more downtown residential Promotes compact form & transit access Gives pedestrians high priority Commits to providing high quality transit

52 Downtown Urban Design Guidelines Level of TOD Consistency Land Use NA Site & Building Design Mod Street Patterns & Parking Mod Guidelines a good starting point Need to go further Add more detail, rely less on interpretation Lack specific standards Are only advisory Consider including parking

53 Pioneer & Waterfront Guidelines Offers some design specifics Level of TOD Consistency Land Use Mod- High Site & Building Design Mod they are lacking in other design documents Consider guideline application to other districts Guideline specifics could help other areas Street Patterns & Parking Mod

54 Infill Guidelines MF in Low Density Level of TOD Consistency Land Use NA Site & Building Design Mod Street Patterns & Parking Mod Infill compatibility focus Good starting point, consider going further Provide more detail Leave less to interpretation Give them some teeth Illustrate pedestrian solutions

55 Recommendations: Develop a clear planning hierarchy Consolidate & simplify urban design approach Create a vision for transportation + land use Corridor level Station area planning Proactive zoning Citywide Vision & Plan Citywide Plan Elements Specific Plans llllllllllllll Implementation Strategy

56 Recommendations: Where to land on the continuum? Allowing TOD Encouraging TOD Incentivizing TOD Requiring TOD Create minimum densities Distinguish between use & form The drive thru v the use Pay attention to street edges

57 Conclusions

58 Capturing the Opportunity Community building + transit Leveraging your vision Design for pedestrians You can start today Align your plans with the opportunity Integrated planning Portland Oregon TODs

59 Rx to grow & reduce travel Density increased Limit & manage parking Solve for walking Grid of small streets Transform transit Increased residential mix Office & retail closest to transit Santa Ann California
