Bush/75 (CityLine) Form-Based Code + TOD <br />Richardson, Texas <br />Project Contact: Sam Swanson | 214.215.3124 | sam@parliamentgroup.com <br /> Michael Alost | 318.470.3030 | michael.alost@kdc.com <br />Site Details <br />100+ Acre TOD Site <br />Scope/Services <br />Market Analysis <br />Community Engagement <br />Form-Based Zoning <br />Tax Increment Support <br />Cost <br />$300,000 <br />Potential Value <br />$4 Billion <br />Start/Completion Date <br />2010 - 2012 <br />3100 McKinnon Street, 7th Floor, Dallas, TX 75201 | o. 817.348.9500 f. 214.451.1176 | www.gatewayplanning.com <br />Located at the intersection of two major regional highways in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex—George Bush <br />Turnpike (PGBT) and Central Expressway (US 75)—the existing PGBT DART light rail station, two regional <br />trails, and the surrounding vacant property present an opportunity for a new approach to Transit Oriented <br />Development (TOD). Gateway Planning Group with Kimley-Horn was retained by Bush/75 Partners to plan, <br />design and entitle the project. Gateway Planning, also working closely with the City of Richardson, developed <br />a Plan to transform a conventional highway quadrant into a world-class urban village. This approach sets the <br />stage for a true public-private partnership to provide the local funding resources necessary to contribute to the <br />future intermodal transfer station with the Cotton Belt Rail line from DFW International Airport, as well as for <br />the high level of street, trail, park and plaza infrastructure needed to maximize the reach of the TOD beyond <br />just a few blocks around the rail station. <br />Market-Driven Implementation (Form-Based Code + TIF) <br />The adopted form-based code transforms this suburban location into a dynamic TOD that will be driven by market- <br />forces rather than NIMBY politics. The ability to harness growth from the rail, and the adjacent highways will <br />better harness growth into sustainable walkable neighborhoods. This will also drive sustained growth in tax base <br />so that sufficient infrastructure investments can be made in additional regional rail and local streets to facilitate <br />the TOD context. Since the original design and form-based zoning, the following have resulted: <br />1. Zale Corson Group has purchased and is developing an urban multifamily project on the lower <br />portion of the TOD being designed by JHP Architects <br />2. KDC Development Company has purchased the remaining land and is developing a mixed use, live, <br />work, play project that will include almost 2 million square feet of office for over 6000 employees. <br />3. The City of Richardson has created a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District and has targeted a <br />portion of that TIF for financing the Cotton Belt Rail System. <br />Awards <br />2011 NCTCOG CLIDE Award for Planning and Policy for Sustainable Development <br />2012 TX APA Current Planning Award <br />Image courtesy of KDC + Corgan
