MARTA’s overarching strategic goals for Transit Oriented Development include: • To generate greater transit ridership – a natural consequence of clustering mixed-use development around stations and along corridors; • To generate a return on MARTA’s transit investment- through enhanced passenger revenues, greater federal support, and development on MARTA property; and • To promote a sustainable, affordable and growing future for the people of Metro Atlanta. 4 Office of Transit Oriented Development and Real Estate Transit Oriented Development Guidelines 5 Office of Transit Oriented Development and Real Estate TOD Guidelines • Station-area development that is compact and dense relative to its surroundings – allows more people to live, work, shop, or go to school within walking distance of the station • A rich mix of land uses – strengthens the link between transit and development, creates 24/7 places, allows efficient use of system • A great public realm – features pedestrian-oriented development with a grid of small, navigable blocks, sidewalks throughout, active uses at street-level, attractive amenities, lighting, and way-finding • A new approach to parking - requires less dedicated parking - shared as much as possible and designed so as not to dominate the visual or pedestrian environment 6 Office of Transit Oriented Development and Real Estate Policies for Implementing TOD Guidelines • Joint Development Procurement and Land Disposition: A joint development project requires an affirmative action by MARTA, including one or more Board votes • Access to Stations: MARTA will take into account the station’s transit functions as well as potential TOD, and adopt the Station Access Hierarchy • Parking and TOD: MARTA will seek to limit parking capacity to that which is genuinely needed in a transit setting, to encourage shared parking, and to ensure that parking is designed in a manner compatible with TOD • Affordable Housing: MARTA will apply a policy goal of 20% affordability, on average, to joint development projects • Sustainable Building Practices: MARTA expects joint development partners to embrace sustainable design, construction, and operating practices at the project level • Intergovernmental Activities: MARTA will take the initiative in interacting with other government agencies and jurisdictions, consistent with its role as a public land owner and project sponsor • Participation in Station-Area Development Reviews: MARTA’s will play a proactive role in the planning and review of all station-area development proposals, 7 including those not involving joint development Office of Transit Oriented Development and Real Estate Sample of Existing Joint Developments 8 Office of Transit Oriented Development and Real Estate Arts Center Station – One Atlantic Center • Executed 99-Year Lease Agreement in 1983 • 1 Million Sq. ft., Class A (f.k.a “IBM Tower”) • Completed in 1987 on 3.08 Acres – Pope & Land • Initial Lease Term Expires in 2033 • Annual Ground Rent = $1.2 Million to MARTA for Transit Operations 9 Office of Transit Oriented Development and Real Estate Lenox Station – Resurgens Plaza • Executed 60 –Year Ground Lease in 1984 • 400,000 S.F.
