A NEW URBANIST PROJECT
The Transit Oriented Development (TOD) code provides for much higher densities to be governed by floor to area ratios (FAR) allowing 4-6 times the land area to be constructed. In total, VICINIA has been entitled to over 3,100 units of housing or the commercial equivalent, and density is allowed to be allocated among the development parcels at the discretion of the developer. Finally, the TOD code allows a variety of uses, no building setbacks, and, in many areas, no on-site parking required.
A tree-lined town square anchors the center of VICINIA. It is surrounded by retail, office and civic spaces, mixed with high-density, multi-family housing.
