§ 17.36.080. Transit-oriented development (TOD) districts established.

A. The following transit-oriented development districts are established:

TOD-MU and TOD-R. These districts are created to accomplish the purposes and serve the objectives set forth in the remainder of this section.

B.

The TOD-MU (mixed-use) district is designed to promote a special scale and intensity of development supportive of transit ridership, walking and bicycling in areas in proximity to the NM Rail Runner Express station.

C.

The TOD-R (residential) district is designed to provide for residential densities and uses supportive of the goals of the TOD-MU district, while protecting the existing scale and intensity of surrounding residential neighborhoods. The TOD-R district is a floating zone with potential applicability to any property in the village of which any part falls within a one-half mile radius of the Rail Runner express station, with the exception of areas already zoned TOD-MU. The boundaries of each TOD-R zoned parcel shall be fixed by amendment to the official zoning map wherever this district is applied. A metes and bounds description of each such district shall be kept on file in the office of the village clerk-treasurer. Although it is anticipated that the TOD-R rezoning applications will be submitted on a voluntary basis by applicants, the village council may, on its own motion, rezone property to TOD-R.
