Transit Oriented Development
Transit Oriented Development
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is an urban planning approach that promotes public transit use, enhances walkability and accessibility, and fosters a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces within a transit-friendly environment while reducing reliance on single-occupancy automobiles. In 2001, the City of San Antonio adopted the Unified Development Code that includes a "TOD" Zoning District. The goal of San Antonio's TOD is to create vibrant, livable communities where residents can live, work, and play in close proximity to VIA transit stations and transportation hubs.
TRANSIT-ORIENTED POLICY FRAMEWORK
The City is developing a TOD Policy Framework that will include:
- Recommendations for transit-oriented communities
- Advance housing availability and affordability along transit corridors that is equitable
- Incentivize economic growth
Two efforts are included in this initiative: A TOD Task Force will review the "TOD" Zoning ordinance and recommend amendments for input and consideration. The Technical Working Group under the Removing Barriers To Affordable Housing Development and Preservation Subcommittee will review City codes and policies to ensure alignment between housing and transit.
If you have any comments or questions regarding the TOD and its process, we are listening! Contact us at 855-925-2801 and enter code 10222. Or, you can email us at TOD@publicinput.com.
