3 Development Codes, also known as Municipal Codes, were reviewed for each station and compiled by jurisdiction. Only those zoning designations located within 0.5 mile of a proposed station are included. Table C-1 indicates stations and associated jurisdictions as well as any special districts included in the review. This review focused on understanding the existing zoned density around stations as well as specific regulations that foster transit-oriented development such as parking restrictions and special overlay districts. If a city has a special district promoting development near a station, a separate table provides more detailed information. General permitted uses listed for each zoning designation include those uses that are permitted outright. Other uses may be allowed through condition use or special use permits. For brevity, uses listed are those that are most likely to be located in a station area and specialized uses are not included. For a complete listing, readers are encouraged to consult the Municipal Code for each City. Municipal Codes are updated by each jurisdiction on a regular basis and dates below refer to the update included in this review. All reviews were completed with the on-line Municipal Code. It is possible that changes to the Codes occurred since the drafting of this report. Table C-1.
