Critical Roles of the City in TOD
Zoning and Development Regulations
– Creating new categories to accommodate preferred
development
Infrastructure
– Partnering with development community to provide
necessary infrastructure – streets, utilities, drainage
Land Development/Redevelopment
– Marketing station areas
Financial Strategies
– Public/Private Partnerships agreements
– TIF
Issues/Timing
Property owners need to acquire appropriate
development rights to facilitate TOD
Zoning will be initiated by the property owners, not
the City
City needs to plan for infrastructure requirements
Secure/protect preferred route of Cotton Belt
interface at the Bush Station
Future NCTCOG Sustainable Development
Funding
– Identification of development partners
– Necessary zoning regulations in place

Sustainable
Neighborhood Development Development
• Transitions instead of buffers
• A network of transportation,
encouraging choice
• Broad market (families, empty-
nesters, young professionals
etc.)
• Planned to endure
• Change of use often times
instead of redeveloping
• Value holds when the current
use is no longer viable

Regional Context

At the Crossroads
• Highways
– US 75
– George Bush Turnpike
• Arterials
– Plano Road
– Renner Road
– Routh Creek Pkwy

Transportation Considerations
• Strong advocates for Cotton Belt transfer
connection at Bush/Turnpike Station
• Plano Road – encumbered by traffic from
Plano and Allen that should be on US 75
• Renner Road – encumbered by traffic from
Wylie, Sachse, and Murphy that should be
on PGBT
• Thoroughfare Plan modifications needed to
accommodate the plan;
– Internal street cross-sections
– Plano Road at Renner Road Intersection
• Impacts to be jointly and thoroughly
evaluated

Zoning Approach :
Planned Development District
• Form-based approach instead of a use-based approach
• Based on the TOD Master Plan and Vision
• Standards tailored to achieve distinct “development
character” in different locations of the TOD
• Zoning standards to address:
– Development standards by character zone
– Building design standards
– Parking (surface, structured, and on-street)
– Public space design standards (streets and open space)
• Prescriptive development and design standards to be
combined with a streamlined administrative approval process
(making it easy to do the right thing)

Fundamental Opportunities
• Market-driven to take advantage of regional transportation
infrastructure and premier location
• Character zone/form-based versus use-based zoning
• Prescriptive development and design standards to be combined with a
streamlined administrative approval process
• Carefully designed open spaces, streets and street network to take
advantage of TOD environment
• Mixed use designed to provide amenities for area neighborhoods
• Accommodates Richardson's vision for TODs and Cotton Belt
