(A) The Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and Mixed Use (MU) zoning districts are established to provide for the creation of mixed use, multi-modal neighborhoods within walking distance of public transit and in other areas where walkable development is desired. These districts enhance walkability by requiring small block sizes, reduced travel lane widths on local streets, and active frontages. These districts may be applied around high frequency transit service stations or in areas designated Mixed Use in the Comprehensive Plan, per district maps.
(B) Multiple types of development are encouraged, with developments designed to promote walking, bicycling and transit use. The placement of building edges and treatment of architecture, parking, landscaping, sidewalks, and public spaces are to be carefully planned in order to achieve the pedestrian-oriented development envisioned for the districts.
(C) These districts are developed to generate income from taxes.
(D) All development must conform to the Comprehensive Plan and to the adopted Brooklyn Park Subarea Stormwater Master Plan.
