Creating Transit-Supportive Land-Use Regulations: A Compendium of Codes,Standards and Guidelines

摘要

Land-use patterns and site development practices have a significant effect on theefficiency, convenience, and cost-effectiveness of transit, pedestrian, and bicycyle circulation systems. This report will assist public officials, planning commissioners, land-use and transportation planners, transit operators, developers and designers, community representatives, and individual citizens in implementing transit-supportive transportation and growth management goals and policies. It provides sample code provisions compiled from communities in Washington and other states that offer creative implementation strategies to achieve a more balanced transportation system and increase opportunities for predestrian and transit travel. The chapters in this report cover four categories of implementation measures and address site design requirements, parking provisions, mixed-use development, density requirements and incentives. The report also offers examples of planned unit development (PUD) provisions and density transfer and other regulations that allow flexibility.
