TOD Database summary 3 What is Transit-Oriented Development? Per RTD’s TOD Strategic Plan (2010): What enables TOD? • More compact and dense development • Real estate market - creates greater demand for development within a 10-minute walk or ½-mile • Zoning - higher densities allow more people to live & work near transit distance around transit facilities compared • Infrastructure/Access - critical for all developments to existing development patterns in the • Jurisdiction Interest/Incentives - local governments can same area incentivize TOD by providing financial incentives, density bonuses, or • A mix of uses — either horizontal or infrastructure vertical — usually including residential, • Lot size and ownership - larger lots & fewer land owners facilitate retail, and office employment TOD • High-quality, pedestrian-oriented urban • Time - station areas may need time to mature design and streetscapes Windsor at Broadway Station – I-25•Broadway Station Depot Square – Boulder Junction Lofts at Lincoln Station – Lincoln Station West Line Flats – Lamar Station 4 RTD TOD Data and Analysis This report analyzes two datasets: the RTD Development Database and the TOD Trend Tool. RTD Development Database TOD Trend Tool Database actively managed by RTD staff that tracks Tool that analyzes property data from a national developments near RTD stations; has a narrower database (CoStar); has a broader definition of definition of TOD: TOD: • Distance - development must be within a half-mile • Distance - development must be within a walk of station half-mile radius of station • Type of Development - development must adhere • Type of Development - includes all to TOD principles properties, regardless of characteristics • Scale - only larger scale developments are included • Scale - all multifamily/office developments are included, regardless of scale The RTD TOD Database and TOD Trend Tool provide the data needed to understand how and where development occurs in relation to transit. This data is analyzed in different ways, providing many helpful outputs, including: • TOD vs non-transit development • Development trends over time and by corridor/station • Development by corridor/station Solana – Olde Town Arvada Station Catalyst – 38th•Blake Station 5 Key Findings 0.6% of land area in Denver/Boulder Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) is within a half-mile of an RTD station area. Since 2005, those station areas have captured: 25% of multifamily* development 31% of office* development *Excludes DUS, downtown Denver, and Boulder. When DUS, downtown Denver, 6 and Boulder are included, multifamily equals 43% and office equals 55%.
