MARTA TOD GUIDELINES
What does “Neighborhood Station” mean? � Located primarily in residential district � Function is to get people who live nearby to work, school, etc. � Pedestrian network to station is critical � Heavy rail stations are grade-separated � Multi-family residential and/or neighborhood-scaled mixed-use � Low to mid-rise buildings � Mixed-use and mixed-income development � Retail, restaurant, service-oriented offices
14
MARTA TOD GUIDELINES
What does “Neighborhood Station” mean? � Density ranges: 15-50 residential units per acre; 2-8 stories � Baseline density is denser than surrounding area, but context-sensitive
� Not uniform; step-down farther from station � Density bonuses: vertical mixed use, affordable housing, sustainable design features, public realm enhancements
