Transportation Concurrency Exception Area: Downtown was recently designated as a Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) to promote mixed-use development tied into mass transit options to mitigate the impacts of development on the downtown and surrounding roadway system.

The JEDC is the master developer of the Consolidated Downtown Development of Regional Impact Development Order (DRI DO), approved March 12, 1993 and the Transportation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA), approved December 13, 2005.  The Downtown Zoning Overlay requires a developer obtain DRI development rights prior to receiving final DDRB approval.

DRI development rights are obtained only after receiving conceptual approval by the DDRB.  All new and rehabilitation projects require DRI development rights, which are made available through the Consolidated Downtown DRI DO.  A developer of a proposed project must obtain DRI development rights prior to receiving final DDRB approval.  DRI development rights are allocated to a developer through a Redevelopment Agreement, negotiated by the JEDC and approved by City Council.  Developers are required to mitigate the impacts of their proposed development by adhering to the Consolidated Downtown DRI DO conditions and agreeing to applicable TCEA Mobility Performance Standards.

The downtown area is designated a TCEA and requires developers to agree to implement applicable mobility improvements that promote mixed-use development, increased efficiency of existing roadways, enhanced streetscapes, mass transit ridership, transit oriented design, etc., in lieu of traditional road widening improvements.
