I don’t have specific page numbers but please let me know if need more pages. Zoning Exercise Instructions:
I would like to discuss this exercise which is due March 15 at 5 PM. The goal for this exercise is for you to select to rail stations in the same region somewhere in the United States so for example if you want to select the Miami, Florida region you should select to rail stations and the Miami region. If you want to select Washington DC select two stations in the Washington DC region or whatever region you want to choose.
Now one way that will help you to identify rail stations is for you to use the national Transit-oriented development, (TOD) database. I recommend that you take a minute and follow these six instructions explicitly.
Open up a web browser and type into a search engine national TOD database. You will see a website that will, from the Center for neighborhood technology go ahead and click on register if you have never used this before. Once you complete the registration aspects and you’re able to get into that database then I suggest you pause this and then come back to when you can get to that point
Now that you’ve gone into the national TOD database you feel whole list of regions company click on Chicago just randomly and you’ll see a map of Chicago will come up, with a bunch of red dots over an aerial photograph of the region. You’ll want to click on existing transit so for example in this case click on the check mark of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). Next to CTA go ahead and click on the plus button you’ll see underneath that the lines that come down.
Go ahead and click on the blue lines click on the blue line and because I clicked on the CTA all the lines came up some and use them actually d-click CTA, click on just the blue Line and I’m going to go ahead and click on the word blue line with the block marks check next to it and should zoom you in automatically.
Now what you’ll see here are different station areas that come up and what I would like for you to do is to click on let’s say a particular station and go ahead and if you scroll down a little bit; let’s just pick on the Addison blue one for example ok. Then go ahead and click on that and it should zoom you in to the Addison blue. Go ahead click on the check marks for blue line so then can deselect all the checkmarks and then put your checkbox just next Addison blue and then what you’ll see down there is some census data for the Chicago transit region interest transit reading this means a whole Chicago region and then you’ll see some statistics about Addison blue.
Now go ahead and click on data which is right next to report and then you’ll see a bunch of things come up, like auto and auto remote commute by industry, densities, employment. Down below you’ll see TOD typology variables: click on that one. Now once you click on that you’ll see a bunch of stuff come down under the report box. I want you to click on things as full report. Click on the full report just makes it bigger and easier to see. What you should see under these TOD typology variables are things like the year the station open which was missed his pre- 2000 latitude, longitude and the total number household in this case is 4361. The average household size, average block size, average household residential density, jobs per acre percentage of people who take public transit center and average people that occupy housing units with 01 vehicle.
So what I want you to do you find two stations in the same region using these TOD typology variables. So here the guidelines that I’m going to give to you: I would like for you to look at the average block size in acres you see it says 2.4 in this instance. I want you keep that number under 5 acres, ok – 5 acre blocks once you get on below 5 acres it fairly walkable environment and you could see on the map here that’s provided on the right side of the screen you can see the blocks look like. In this case the average block size is 2.4 acres so it’s a fairly urban dense a transit oriented framework fabric for the urban design.
Once you want to get about 5 acres of block size gets quite large and hard to walk in that environment. So keep that under 5 acres if you want to find an area as the instructions say that is more pedestrian and transit oriented zoning. So we don’t know what is zoning as yet. OK- we are just doing this purely based on the land uses and when you look at the zoning and then go ahead and look at the household residential density in this case at 11.97. Ok- I would like for that variable to be greater than seven unit’s households per residential acre. Ok – greater than seven households for residential acre. Ok – so that helps you find places that are transit oriented.
Ok – then for the auto oriented just look for the opposite look for places that are greater than 5 acres um, greater than 5 acres for the average household block size and less than seven maybe even one or two or three households per residential acre.
