Arizona Planners Embrace Transit Oriented Development
New zoning and redevelopment guidelines are being developed in anticipation of the Valley's new light-rail system.
"The goal of the new guidelines for Phoenix is to promote 'long-term future development along the rail corridor and near light-rail stations,' said Phoenix City Planner James Mathien, who has been assigned to work on the light-rail process full-time. And in Tempe, officials are updating the city's entire zoning standards."
