The /TD Transit Oriented Development Overlay Zone is intended to promote the creation and retention of mixed land uses in areas with high potential for enhanced transit and pedestrian activity. Pedestrian circulation and transit access are especially important and have increased emphasis in areas with the /TD overlay zone. The development standards are designed to encourage compact urban growth, opportunities for increased choice of transportation mode, reduced reliance on the automobile, and a safe and pleasant pedestrian environment, by insuring an attractive streetscape, a functional mix of complementary uses, and provision of amenities that support the use of transit, bicycles, and pedestrian facilities.
