How can the City play a meaningful TOD near stations can create important community, environmental, and role in making TOD happen in a economic benefits by providing new job and housing opportunities; efficient equitable way? land use; and lower energy consumption, particularly in underserved areas.

  • Sound Transit TOD Quarterly Report
    Quarter 2, 2020 TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Quarterly Status Report Cedar Crossing project at the future Roosevelt Station, which began construction in May 2020. Overview RCW 81.112.350 requires Sound Transit to provide quarterly updates on implementation of a regional equitable transit oriented development (TOD) strategy. The TOD program is empowered by the voter‐ approved plan to create diverse, vibrant and mixed‐income communities around transit. To achieve these outcomes, Sound Transit offers its surplus properties—those acquired for building and operating the transit system but no longer provide a transit use to the agency—as development opportunities for affordable housing or other developments benefiting the public. TABLE OF CONTENTS Highlights TOD program development TOD program implementation Transfers of Surplus Property Looking Ahead TOD Quarterly Status Report | Page 1 SOUND TRANSIT’S OFFICE OF LAND USE PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT | TOD Highlights Construction began on the Cedar Crossing project at Roosevelt Station. Cedar Crossing groundbreaking The TOD project at Roosevelt, Cedar Crossing, broke ground the week of May 11, 2020. The joint venture of Bellwether Housing and Mercy Housing NW is developing the 254-unit affordable housing building that is slated for completion in 2022. The project includes innovative community partnerships with Mary’s Place, Seattle Children’s, and El Centro de la Raza. The project is adjacent to the Roosevelt light rail station, which is set to open in 2021. Sound Transit and the Seattle Office of Housing partnered to offer the property at a discounted land price and committed $15 million in City funds to the project.

  • Urban Design Framework (UDF) for the Capitol Hill Light Rail Station Development Sites Background Information by Topic for Workshop L - Desired Uses, October 16 2010
    Urban Design Framework (UDF) for the Capitol Hill light rail station development sites Background information by Topic for Workshop l - Desired Uses, October 16 2010 General Mix, Composition and Character Questions to be addressed at the workshop: What do you envision as the general makeup of uses in the development around the station? What uses will have the strongest presence? I.e., is the four site redevelopment: . A mostly residential redevelopment with active ground level retail. A pronounced retail hub – with other uses on the sites. A pronounced community services campus - with other uses on the sites. Something else – i.e. a substantial office / employment component. Background (links to reports referenced and available online may be found at the end of this document, all references are excerpts from the report cited) Sound Transit Baseline Report (2008) All projects must reflect market factors to produce a long-term fair market return to Sound Transit. Sites A and C are well suited to serve smaller retail tenants, ranging in size from 800 to 4,000 square feet, with 1200 SF being typical. Champion Recommendations Report (2010) Develop an urban design framework that identifies street function, adjacent uses, public amenities, and sidewalk and street design. Responses and Current Assumptions Based on the vision and existing code, redevelopment will likely result in ground floor retail on the Broadway frontages and residential at 5 stories above. On the 10th Avenue frontage, stacked flats and/or apartments to forty feet are permitted outright. Previous Work by Stakeholders The Broadway Economic Vitality Action Agenda (BEVAA), June 2006, directed Sound Transit to consider: .
