Transit Oriented Development Zone
(1) One (1) primary entrance door shall be provided for every fifty (50) feet of building frontage.
(2) Each structure in the ITOD zone situated along a primary street shall provide the first story of the building face with a minimum of fifty (50) percent completely transparent glass and on secondary streets forty (40) percent completely transparent glass. Ground floor residential buildings shall provide twenty (20) percent completely transparent glass.
The Interim Transit Oriented Development (ITOD) Zone is established to provide interim zoning measures while more comprehensive transit oriented development plans and ordinances are formulated for the planned intermodal hub area and other key transportation related locations within the City. These interim measures are intended to prevent land uses and development that would hinder long-range City goals while achieving quality housing, attracting long-term residents, on properties surrounding the proposed Intermodal Hub site. This zone’s primary use is for residential and residential/support mixed-use development which is intended to provide housing and business opportunities adjacent to public transit and thereby facilitate increases in the use of public transit and reduce City-wide traffic and congestion elsewhere. The ITOD zone is characterized by clean, well-lighted streets, ample pedestrian ways, and attractive, inviting, and residential uses, well-maintained shops, stores, offices, with a mixed use design. This zone will tend to encourage an architectural theme which will strengthen the continuity of the ITOD area and give it an identity with which the citizens of Provo can identify.
(1) Those uses or categories of uses as listed herein, and no others, are permitted in the ITOD zone.
(2) All uses contained herein are listed by number as designated in the Standard Land Use Code published and maintained by the Planning Commission. Specific uses are identified by a four (4) digit number in which all digits are whole numbers. Classes or categories of such uses permitted within the zone are identified by a four (4) digit number in which the last one (1) or two (2) digits are zeroes.
(3) All such categories listed herein and all specific uses contained within them in the Standard Land Use Code will be permitted in the ITOD zone, subject to the limitations set forth.
