Sec. 656.1402. - Definitions.

The definitions contained in Part 16 of the Zoning Code shall be applicable to this Part 14. In addition, for the purposes of this Part 14, the following terms, phrases, words, and their derivations, as listed in alphabetical order herein, shall have the meanings contained below, or as referenced within specific Sections. Absolute TOD area means an area within a radius of ½ mile measured from a JTA existing or planned premium transit station and designated as such in the applicable TOD master plan, serving as an aspirational area for development and infrastructure improvements. Actual TOD area means an area located within a 15-minute ped-shed, the distance covered in 15 minutes at a normal walking pace traveled using the existing or proposed pedestrian network, of a JTA existing or planned premium transit station designated as such in the applicable TOD master plan. Mobility hub means a transit station where multiple services come together at a point in the transit system, accomplishing the integration of shared-use mobility options, including improved pedestrian and bicycle, ride share, car share, bike share, and microtransit feeder networks into mainline frequent or premium transit services. Mobility hubs provide improved wayfinding, easier access to transit boarding areas, and improved connectivity to other services and surrounding locations. Mobility hubs are comprehensively designed to maximize the footprint of the TOD site and make it welcoming, with ample amenities and opportunities to access transit. Premium transit station means a transit station served by either a fixed guideway service, such as BRT, rail, or the Skyway/U 2 C, or a station serving as a mobility hub. Premium transit stations provide service at higher-speed and higher-frequency than typical transit stops, usually with service frequencies at 15 minutes or less. Premium transit stations also include more infrastructure and amenities to serve higher passenger activity. Amenities can include on-board amenities, such as seating, comfort and cleanliness; station design features, such as real-time passenger information, shelters, and lighting; and other features, such as reliability, service frequency, and parking. Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) means development consisting of mixed-use medium to high density development designed and intended to reduce personal automobile use through the incorporation of premium transit services, alternative mobility solutions, and infrastructure for active modes, such as walking and biking, and reduced parking requirements. TOD-1 area means an area designated as such in the applicable TOD master plan up to and within an absolute radius of ¼ of a mile from a TOD-designated transit station used for planning purposes and to support transitions from the TOD to surrounding uses. TOD-2 area means an area designated as such in the applicable TOD master plan that lies between absolute radii of ¼ of a mile and up to ½ of a mile from a TOD-designated transit station and is adjacent to a TOD-1 area used for planning purposes and to support transitions from the TOD to surrounding uses.
