Central Saint Giles, London 99 Points An 11-story office building that has 405,000 ft2 of commercial space. A 15-story residential building with 109 dwelling units, half of which are affordable. A pedestrian plaza located between the two buildings at the centre of the site. It is surrounded by 24,500ft2 of ground floor transparent retail & restaurant space.
10
Strong land market = Developer gave land for pedestrian plaza 50% of residential units affordable in exchange for two more floors of commercial Affordable housing requirement in Camden’s site brief

Current FAR for CSG is 9:1. Previous building was 4:1, and minimum FAR in central London is 5:1
12
Parking At the time of planning, parking regulations were.5 to 1 spaces per residential unit, 1 space per disabled residential unit, 1 space per every 1,000 – 1,500 sq meters of commercial Developer thought that even though they built less than the required, it was still too much.

Pearl District, Portland, USA 78 points
14
TRANSIT Building of streetcar was a joint effort of the Federal and City government and a private investment. The “Streetcar Project” was one of the increment programs that the main developer agreed to participate in.
15
DENSITY: The developer donated the land for the government to built streets, streetcars, and parks, and committed to building a minimum number of units on the remaining land to justify the public investment.
16
Residential density was tied to 3 major projects: MilestoneMinimum Density Required Base Residential Density15 units per acre Lovejoy Viaduct demolition87 units per acre Streetcar construction109 units per acre Jamison Square construction 133 units per acre Commercial: The City of Portland increased the baseline FAR from 2:1 to 4:1 generally.
17
The Ramona Apartments – 180 affordable units Hoyt Street Properties agreed to build approx 35% affordable units in an developer agreement with the city. Oregon banned inclusionary zoning. It was agreed that the ratio of affordable- to-market-rate housing should mirror the income distribution of the city as whole over time, with each new phase of development to be matched to current city demographics. AFFORDABLE HOUSING

MidTown, Cleveland, Ohio 88 points
22
– New buildings must have minimum 3 floors (approx FAR of 3.0) – Buildings must be built to the streetline – Buildings must fill at least 80% of the lot width – Parking minimum must be reduced by half, and parking maximums are to replace minimums – One bicycle parking space for every 20 automobile parking spaces provided

Woodward’s, Vancouver BC, Canada
25
DENSITY & LAND USE Zoned as CD1 - customized, mixed-use Density up to 5.0 for market developments and 3.0 FAR for residential. Density bonuses are given for inclusion of social housing and determined on a case by case basis. 27% of all residential units are affordable Woodward’s achieves an FAR of approx 9.6:1 compared to a local average of 5:1.

27
The Elusive Nature of Execution City had a vision: area plans and urban design guidelines Negotiated – developer’s agreements It takes time: 10 – 15 years timeline; developer’s are comfortable with 3 – 5 years Land assembly affects time and costs Knowing the effective power of government and then working within those limitations
28
Smart Government Needed – City vision = predictability for developers Predictability matters to developers. – Good negotiators - can either bring people to a weak market or extract better development or amenities in a strong market – Commitment to the long haul – what are the political timelines that affect this if a development typically takes 10 – 15 years. – Siting is critical and complex – Public investment is critical (transit, upgrading of utilities, land banking remediation)
29
The Role of Government: as illuminated by money The EU has more limited pubic financing options, putting most of the risk on the developer for financing. The government tends to have more funds to directly invest in the area with infrastructure, remediation, amenities. The US has many more creative financing mechanisms due to lack of public sector funds: tax credits, abatements, interest-free or low- interest loans and grants, philanthropic funds.
30
The Role of the Market Gold mostly happened in strong markets Silver and bronze typically happen in emerging or weak markets Mixed-income best achieved in strong markets, where government can leverage the market for some affordable units – cross-subsidy but only with strong governments and strong intervention Be careful about the high financial risk in creating a market or “leading a market” – leverage a strong or strengthening market instead Emerging markets – goal is stabilize market growth and then once stable, ask for more
31
Detailed, integrated area plans In all our EU cases, detailed area plans were developed for the sites by the city. These codified the city’s vision for a mixed use, mixed income community, and defined land uses alongside requirements for energy, water, waste, services and transport infrastructure. EU cases also included quite detailed urban design guidelines defining construction materials, colours, active frontage, on-street parking, provision of parks and other requirements regarding the design of spaces between buildings. The US cases also dedicated resources to writing strong land use plans and some design guidelines for these specific sites.
32
Identity and Branding Sites leveraged historic assets to create an identity for the area In the US that also meant public funds and powers were available to support the project, through protecting those assets.
33
Community Engagement All the Gold Standard projects have engaged with the community at some stage (some later than others) to inform the vision and plans for the area. – This ensures that there is buy-in from the local community and other special interest groups, and allows for a more successful ultimate TOD based on what local needs are (and can prevent protests that would delay projects).
34
Timelines Transit planning and delivery can take 10 – 20 years, with station locations being chosen 7 – 10 years before service comes on-line. A RE development takes 3 – 5 years for pre- development and delivery Large projects including infrastructure took on average 15 years from the initial plans to final construction
35
So what do we talk about when we talk about Equitable TOD?
36
Affordable Housing Focus on sites where the goals of equitable TOD can likely be achieved without becoming embattled during the predevelopment stage Affordable housing may need more creative financing options, including gap financing In the US, takes twice as long to build because of involvement of government and creative financing More expensive to build and generate less revenue (but it’s a more stable type of project b/c funding is guaranteed, usually from government) In the US, projects may be subject to higher design standards, better amenities (although often affordable units are subject to cheaper standards..)

ADDITIONAL 50% OF THE LOT AREA DEDICATED TO LOCAL COMMERCE AND SERVICES DISCOUNTED IN THE CALCULATION OF ALLOWED FAR.
44
CONNECT: Public passages PUBLIC PASSAGES PERMANENTLY OPEN ON PROPERTY GET EQUAL AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL BUILDING RIGHTS (FAR)
45
SHIFT: PARKING DISINCENTIVE REDUCED PARKING PLACES DISCOUNTED FROM FAR CALCULATION: - 1 PER DWELING UNIT (down from 1, 2 or 3 mini. depending on unit size) - 1 PER 100M2 OF NON RESIDENTIAL USE. ADDITIONAL PARKING AREA BECOMES PART OF BASIC BUILDABLE AREA

Fruitvale Station Village – 74 pts Transformed 5.9 acres of surface parking lots to: 40,000 sq ft retail 115,000 sq ft commercial / community 47 residential units (20% affordable) Intermodal bus facility 200 bike station 150-shared space parking garage 5-story BART parking garage
49
Fruitvale Failed to leverage additional development – In part due to the parking and bus facilities Beset by debt, even though 2/3rds of the funding for this project was grant; the rest very attractive financing term – In part because of the non-revenue generating activities hhh
50
Arlington, VA 3 miles, 5 metro stations 1950’s & 60’s – lumber yards, light industrial Now: – 25 million sq ft of office space – 4 million sq ft in retail – 28,700 dwelling units – 50% of assessed land value along corridor (= 11% of land area) – 26% of county lives along corridor (=8% of land value) jjj
51
Reasons for Success Pedestrian environment; continuous corridor – not just nodes General Land Use Plan sets out framework, but Sector Plans (station area plans for ¼ mile area around station) guided development Dis-incentives for Land Banking: land value assessments are done at highest and best use as indicated by the General Plan – gives incentive for redevelopment. Zoning – Base zoning = 1.5 FAR, 4 parking spaces per 1,000 sq ft – Sector Plan = 3.8 – 10 FAR, 2 parking spaces per 1,000 sq ft – Often zoning changes were made as special exceptions to individual proposals. Increased density is allowed if public improvements (street trees, underground utilities, intersection redesign) are provided by developer – But even then, the approval process was relatively predictable
52
White Flint Metro Suburban location trying to use TOD to create a center Higher density plan (FAR of 2) did not encourage development because – Market was weak for higher density – 42-foot height limit meant long times for rezoning So now, development is linked to changes in the auto- centric infrastructure (mode share target being the evaluative measure) Affordable housing – units not counted towards buildable area (effectively a density bonus) – MoGoCo has a strong inclusionary zoning ordinance – > 50 units – 12.5 % need to be MPDU – Density bonus of 22% percent in addition
