MMTD Code - Implementing the Multi-Modal Transportation District
MMTD Code - Implementing the Multi-Modal Transportation District
The MMTD Code covers all areas within the MMTD, including our downtown. The code seeks to improve the urban fabric of the Capital City through an increased emphasis on urban design and the public realm, thereby creating a pedestrian-friendly and transit-supportive district. The standards will:
- improve urban design, as is expected along Gaines Street,
- increase bicycle and pedestrian mobility,
- improve pedestrian comfort with more street trees,
- promote in-town amenities and destinations,
- ease restrictions to urban infill, and
- support the efforts of StarMetro.
The new development standards in the MMTD Code reflect public comments voiced in the past several years, namely in various sector and neighborhood plans, calling for increased attention to urban design and bicycle and pedestrian mobility.
What development standards apply to my project?
Permitted uses for proposed projects within the MMTD are found in the zoning districts. Based on densities and intensities, the zoning districts are organized under the appropriate Transect, as shown below. Development standards are established for the Downtown Overlay and one of the three Transects. Once you've determined which Transect your site falls within, simply follow the standards listed in the MMTD Code.
Is your property located within the MMTD or the Downtown Overlay?
If so, please refer to the MMTD Code that are applicable to your proposals.
If your property is located in the Downtown Overlay, select the area below where your property is located and then select it again and the Regulating Plan will be displayed.
