PCM130107 9 th and Thomasville Rd.
The MMTD is established in the Mobility Element by Policy 1.1.9., and extends out to
Bradford and Betton roads north of Mid-town. The purpose of the MMTD is to promote
walking, bicycling, and transit use in order to reduce dependence on the automobile.
(Roadways and associated rights-of-way shown as boundaries for the MMTD are considered
part of the MMTD.)
Policies in the MMTD call for land uses that provide appropriate densities, intensities and
mixture of land uses to support 18-hour activity and multimodal transportation based on land
use mix targets and to facilitate walking and bicycling as an alternative to driving. Transit is
a component of the MMTD where redevelopment in the urban center is encouraged to have
10 minute headways for buses.
Urban design standards to encourage energy efficiency and livability include pedestrian
oriented blocks, easy access transit stops, compatibility measures between land uses,
transparency of uses, use of sidewalks, and parking standards to discourage single-occupancy
vehicles. Transit commitments and requirements for “complete streets” are part of the
MMTD.
