San Mateo Rail CorridorTransit Oriented Development Plan
ABAG/MTC/ULI WorkshopSeptember 29, 2006
Background of Corridor Plan Significant potential for
redevelopment along the rail corridor.
ABAG Projections indicated significant growth in population and jobs.
City received study grants in 1998
MTC was offering grants for development with transit orientation
Corridor Plan Process A Phase 1 “Concept Plan” completed
in September 2000.
Phase 2 initiated in February of 2001.
Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) appointed by the City Council and met over the course of 3 years.
Draft Rail Corridor Plan recommended for public review in February 2004.
Vision For The Rail Corridor Plan
Minimize traffic and other potential impacts of future development.
Promote the efficient and compact use of land within walking distance of transit stations.
Increase transit ridership.
Establish design guidelines for the corridor area.
Intent of TOD
Development and design that is transit supportive
Make TOD an attractive and desirable alternative: Promote higher density development in close
proximity to stations Encourage direct pedestrian connections
between land uses and train stations Guide design to create human scaled and
pedestrian friendly environments
Rail Corridor Plan ContentThe Rail Corridor Plan defines:
Land uses, heights and intensities within two Transit-oriented Development (TOD) zones.
A road network with new streets and new street connections that increase connectivity.
A set of guidelines for both public and private development within the Corridor.
Set of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures.
Residential densities up to 50 units/ acre
Heights up to 55 ft.
Mixed Uses
TOD Zone Map
Circulation-Related Objectives Improve Connections to Stations
Improve Vehicular Connections throughout the Plan Area
Improve Pedestrian and Bicycle Environment and Connections throughout the Plan Area
Coordinate with the JPB’s Rail Service Improvement Plans
Manage Traffic and Encourage Alternatives to Driving
Delaware connection (north/south)
Franklin to 31st connection (east/west)
28th Avenue connection (east/west)
25th grade separation
Roadway Connections
Automobile Trip Reduction Measures
An overall trip reduction goal of 25% is established.
Each project will submit individual trip reduction goals and a plan to achieve those goals.
A Transportation Management Association (TMA) would be established to oversee and manage the TDM program.
The TMA would have authority to impose measures to insure project goals are met.
