floors used for residential or office use and a portion of the ground floor for retail/com mercial or service uses), go to Step 61. 4. If developm ent is outside of a TOD area, but is adjacent to an existing neighborhood activity center as identified in Figure 5-1 and is a horiz ontally mixed use as defined by the City of Medford LDC2, go to Step 6.3 5. If developm ent is not within one of the T OD areas and is not m ixed use, it does not qualify . Step 2. Determine the ty pe of development 1. Is the project residential? If y es go to Step 3. 2. Is the project retail com mercial (generally Com munity Com mercial or Regional Com mercial)? If yes go to Step 4. 3. Is the project office (Service Com mercial or Professional Office)? If y es go to Step 5. 4. Is the project light industrial (Light Industrial)? If y es go to Step 5. 5. Is the project a land use not covered in questions 1 through 4 above, it does not qualify . Step 3. Determine whether the residential development counts tow ards meeting the benchmarks (if the project qualifies go to Step 7). 1. Is the project SFR 10 or greater density project?4 If yes go to next question, if no does not qualify . 2. Is the project within ¼ m ile [measured as actua l walking distance from the nearest edge of the project and following the most direct pedestrian (existing or proposed as part of the project) walkway ] of an existing m ajor transit stop (as defined by the TPR)? If y es the project qualifies, if no go to next question. 3. Is the residential developm ent within ¼ mile [measured as actual walking distance from the nearest edge of the project and following the m ost direct pedestrian (existing or proposed as part of the project) walkway ] a significant retail center (m ore than 20,000 square feet5)? If yes go to next question, if no the project does not qualify . 4. Is there a com pleted pedestrian walkway conn ection to that retail center and no significant (more than 120 feet) out of direction travel required for the pedestrian? A completed pedestrian walkway is defined as a facility that is: identif ied in the Medford LDC for public sidewalks along streets; an off-street m ulti-use path m eeting city design standards; or a pathway that replicates a sidewalk in a parking lots including physical separation from autom obiles and sidewalk-like features. Where street crossings are included as a pa rt of the pedestrian route to connect with the retail center, these crossings should not involve unprotected crossings of streets carry ing significant traffic volum es or where vehicles travel at speeds exceeding 30 MPH. If there is a completed pedestrian walkway connection, the project qualifies. If no, the project does not qualify . Step 4. Determine w hether the retail commercial development counts tow ards meeting the benchmarks (if the project qualifies go to Step 7). 1 Note – a bui lding or project size coul d be assi gned t o this criteria. 2 This woul d requi re incorporat ion of cri teria for a m ixed use zone i n the City of M edford LDC . 3 Note – a bui lding or project size coul d be assi gned t o this criteria. 4 The RVMPO Transi t Oriented Design and Transi t Corridor Devel opment Strategies Project indicates that 8 uni ts an acre or m ore is a characteristic of a TOD. 5 20,000 square feet of com mercial retail square foot age general ly represent s a com munity com mercial node, this number m ay be adjust ed up or down t o better repr esent current devel opment trends i n Medford.
