Orlando's TOD framework promotes higher-density mixed-use development around SunRail stations and Lymmo bus rapid transit corridors downtown, reducing minimum parking, requiring pedestrian-oriented frontages, and prioritizing walkability within a half-mile of stations.
Orlando hosts four SunRail commuter-rail stations including Church Street, Lynx Central, and Florida Hospital, plus the LYNX Lymmo free downtown circulator. The city's TOD overlay and station-area plans encourage mid- to high-rise mixed-use buildings, reduced parking minimums, ground-floor retail, and pedestrian streetscape standards within roughly a quarter to half mile of each stop. Bicycle parking minimums apply, and connectivity standards require new projects to integrate with sidewalks and trails. Density and height bonuses can stack with affordability incentives. The framework supports the regional goal of reducing single-occupant car trips along the I-4 corridor.
Projects within station-area overlays that do not meet pedestrian frontage, parking, or design requirements face permit denial and design-review revisions until compliance is achieved before construction can proceed.
