Building an integrated land use and transit system is key to managing the rapid growth occurring in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area and to invigorating existing communities and making them better places to live and work.  This requires making land use decisions that encourage residents to use transit as an alternative for their daily and occasional travel.  It also requires ensuring that the areas around transit stations encourage pedestrian activity and provide for a mix of land uses in a vibrant, active and safe environment.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission has developed Transit Station Area Principles to ensure that future development takes advantage of access to transit and promotes transit use.  This portion of the General Development Principles provides guidance for future development and redevelopment of transit station areas.
