Comments:

The City of Deerfield Beach's Transportation Element Data and Analysis Section 3.6.1 indicates that the City has received a land plan amendment to change an 8.07-acre parcel adjacent to the Tri-Rail station from Commercial to Transit Oriented Development. This proposal includes the construction of 226 residential units, and 10,000 square feet non-residential use. The implementation and adoption of transit oriented land use categories support the regional efforts to encourage infill and redevelopment.

The City's Transportation Element Data and Analysis Section 3.6.5.3 also suggests that “transit villages” be developed at the Tri-Rail stations to promote intermodal transportation opportunities. The City has added the land use category, Transit Oriented Development (TOD) to the Future Land Use Plan which supports the transit village concept.
