Proximity to a METRO station is defined as the straight-line distance between a main pedestrian entrance of a building for which the parking reduction is to be granted and a station entrance controlled by the W.M.A.T.A. This station entrance is defined further as the street-level entrance of any escalator or the gate or similar barrier of any station entrance which has no escalator.
An existing or planned metrorail station may be used as a basis for the office requirement if:
(a) It is currently in use as part of an operating transit line; or
(b) The director/planning board has received a certified letter from the W.M.A.T.A. stating that a construction contract has been signed for any portion of the construction phase which is located on the same transit line immediately south of the phase of construction in which the proposed building or buildings will be located.
