Marta Transit Oriented Development Guidelines - Atlanta<br />
22<br />
In recent years <strong>the</strong> Center for Transit Oriented Development has<br />
developed <strong>the</strong> concept <strong>of</strong> TOD typologies which classify transit<br />
<strong>station</strong>s and development opportunities according to <strong>the</strong>ir location<br />
and function in <strong>the</strong> larger urban region. A particularly useful and<br />
sophisticated example <strong>of</strong> TOD guidelines organized by <strong>station</strong><br />
typology is <strong>the</strong> recent set <strong>of</strong> guidelines created for Atlanta by<br />
<strong>the</strong> regional transit operator Marta. The guidelines establish<br />
best practice targets for <strong>station</strong> area development uses, density<br />
and organization. Also included are standards for <strong>station</strong> area<br />
infrastructure including, organization, pedestrian and bicycle<br />
facility provision, complete streets strategies and parking provision<br />
and management. The document also contains a model zoning<br />
overlay district for TOD with density and parking modifications.<br />
