BACKGROUND: The Chair of the Triangle Transit Authority Board of Trustees has asked to present their Annual Financial Report for the year ending June 30, 1997, and their recently adopted Station Area Development Guidelines. These Guidelines are the product of a cooperative process with local government staff, representatives from the community, and the TTA. They define and illustrate the opportunities and challenges of building livable communities and transit supportive development, and the principal elements of compact, mixed -use, pedestrian- oriented land use. The Guidelines also include implementation tools and strategies that may be used by the public and private sectors to facilitate such development. TTA's intent for the Guidelines includes broadening the Triangle Community's understanding of the relationship between pedestrian- oriented land uses and multi -modal transportation, and assisting local governments in preparing small area and compact neighborhood plans in the areas surrounding regional transit stations. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the reports as information.
