Orange Line BRT Sustainable Corridor Implementation Plan
Steering Committee Meeting #2January 11, 2012
The following presents potential land use changes in the identified Orange Line Transit Oriented Districts (the area within ½ mile of the each Orange Line station). While the majority of the Orange Line station areas are completely urbanized, there are opportunities for redevelopment and intensification through land use changes at specific locations along the corridor. Some of the land use changes may occur in the next few years while others may be much longer term and occur over the next 10 to 20 years.
The redevelopment and intensification could increase the mix of uses and number of dwelling units and jobs within walking distance the Orange Line station. This could lead to a number of benefits including: increased transit use along the corridor and in the region; reduced driving; reduced GHG emissions; fewer trips by automobile; and increased health benefits as more people walk to transit and neighborhood services.
For each station area, we have identified specific areas where land use underutilized or where redevelopment could occur over the next 20 years. For each area, we then present potential land use changes that could occur. Examples of images of the potential types of changes envisioned can be found at the back of this workbook. Please review the attached information and let us know if you think land use changes should occur in each area and what uses and intensities are desired.
Following the land use exercise, we would like you to focus on two more general questions:
1. What is your overall vision for the station area over the next 10 to 20 years? Will it generally
stay the same or will it change and transform to become a different type of place?
2. What physical and programmatic improvements are needed to achieve your vision of the
station area? Improvements could include pedestrian safety, parking, streetscape, transit
facilities and services and others?
(Note: The Warner Center and Canoga stations are covered by the Warner Center Specific Plan and are not included in this discussion.)
