Hannon 6/13/2013 Part 2: Zoning Application and Conflicts with City Policy 2011 Repeal of Smart Growth • State legislature repealed Smart Growth in 2011 as too costly to implement. • State standards now exist to protect established neighborhoods. • Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is just one option of many now. • Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) considers a dynamic, home -work environment rather than a commute. Advancing Level of Service Golden Pines like Coconut Grove and Silver Bluff do not have Transit Oriented Developments (TOD) since there is no need for revitalization. The future of Golden Pines is in increasing Level of Service (LOS). • Improved streetscapes • Traffic flow • Parking • Parks • Live/Work Conflicting Planning Directives Urban in -fill & Revitalization versus Overdevelopment & Urban Blight If TOD guidelines are followed then development here will only marginally boost ridership of public transit while the negative impact is more severe and longer lasting for the neighborhood. 3.500 11100 1.900 ,.000 soo 0 Coconut Grove Metrorail: Average Weekday Boarding (Jan 2008 —Jan 2013)' l.a6i 2.0.0 1,6tb 1.697 trot, I.M6 i.n. mn09 Ho10 pnll unII luru Urban Blight Promotes Suburban Flight Source: 1.

Hannon 6/13/2013 Conflicting Planning Directives (cont'd) State, County and Municipal governments each have their own approach to "Smart Growth" and have to work together to establish complementary standards. Fundamental to TNDs is the use of the existing environment to integrate land use and transportation where common amenities are within a five minute walk from each home. Source: 1.
