The BrowardNEXT comprehensive plan revisions combine the existing RAC, LAC, Mixed-Use, TOD, and TOC into a proposed Activity Center designation. This designation supports pedestrian mobility (BrowardNEXT Policy 2.4.2). BrowardNEXT also requires local land use elements to require design guidelines that incorporate pedestrian and bicycle paths and greenways to accomplish fully-connected routes to all destinations within the Activity Center (BrowardNEXT Policy 2.4.9). See also BrowardNEXT Policies 2.4.15-18. The plan also includes utilizing the Institute of Transportation Engineers' “urban infill area – person trip methodology" in Activity Centers and certain redevelopment areas to facilitate higher densities and intensities in mixed use, urban areas. These BrowardNEXT policies became effective in May 2017.
