DOLA has published new draft tools to support jurisdictions subject to HB24-1313 with calculating the Net Housing Density and Zoning Capacity of their Transit Centers, and is inviting public comment by December 16, 2024:
- A draft Transit Center calculation model in a spreadsheet format
- A draft user guide for the Transit Center calculation model (see Section 2 in the Table of Contents)
- A webinar recording of an introduction and walk through of the tool
- A draft parcel shapefile provided by DOLA based on the Office of Information Technology’s statewide parcel dataset, which includes parcels within Transit Areas and the additional quarter mile buffer with certain fields needed for the Transit Center calculation model already added. This is meant to help save Transit Oriented Communities time and GIS staff capacity if helpful, and is not required to be used. DOLA welcomes feedback on how to improve it if it is helpful.
DOLA welcomes comments, questions, and feedback on these draft tools by December 16, and encourages jurisdictions to download the tool and test using it. Please provide your input by reaching out to our team if you would like to meet to discuss further.
