adopted land use regulations to implement this policy. Those regulations will apply at the time <br />of the site's development. Approval of the requested refinement plan text amendment will <br />make it possible for the applicant to implement improvements that encourage using transit, <br />bicycling, and pedestrians. <br />Develop or promote intermodal linkages for connectivity and ease of transfer among <br />all transportation modes. (Policy F.11) <br />Allowing transit-related uses to occur on the subject property will promote intermodal <br />linkages, including vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian modes, both on-site and with the <br />immediate neighborhood. <br />Support transportation strategies that enhance neighborhood livability. (Policy F. 13) <br />Approving the requested refinement plan text amendment will allow the development of a <br />new transit station to occur on the site. This action will enhance neighborhood livability by <br />providing a new public transit facility located in the Santa Clara neighborhood. <br />Address the mobility and safety needs of motorists, transit users, bicyclists, pedestrians <br />and the needs of emergency vehicles when planning and constructing roadway system <br />improvements. (Policy F.14) <br />As described in TransPlan the intent of this policy is to support the design and construction of <br />systems and facilities that accommodate multiple modes. Approval of the requested <br />refinement plan text amendment will enable mobility alternatives to be an integral <br />component of future site development. Integral to the proposed transit center, on-site and <br />off-site roadway improvements will be planned, designed and constructed to accommodate <br />vehicles, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian modes of travel. <br />Improve transit service and facilities to increase the system's accessibility, <br />attractiveness, and convenience for all users, including the transportation <br />disadvantaged population. (Policy F. 18) <br />Approving the requested refinement plan text amendment will enable the development of a <br />new transit station on the property. This new station will be designed with current and future <br />buses, station facilities, ridership, and customer needs in mind. Accessibility and convenience, <br />including the needs of those who are transportation disadvantaged, will be improved. <br />Establish a BRT system composed of frequent, fast transit service along major corridors <br />and neighborhood feeder service that connects with the corridor service and with <br />activity centers, if the system is shown to increase transit mode split along BRT <br />corridors, if local governments demonstrate support, and if financing for the system is <br />feasible. (Policy F. 19) <br />The new transit station will be designed and constructed with BRT (EmX) needs in mind. <br />Findings - 8 <br />178
