On February 4, 2014, the City of Fort Lauderdale adopted an amendment to the City's Downtown Master Plan to incorporate transit oriented development (TOD) guidelines. The purpose of the TOD guidelines is to guide and encourage future development within proximity to premium transit stations, while aligning the current Downtown Master Plan design guidelines with current and planned transit initiatives. The guidelines aim to create pedestrian-friendly, vibrant station areas to support the continued growth of the Downtown as a live, work, and play environment. They address design, land use, mobility and parking standards in order to create a more compact development pattern that supports transit, walking, and biking. The TOD guidelines are a vital component to supporting the City’s vision to enhance the quality of life through connecting communities, creating walkable streets and offering easy access to mass transit services.
