From page 119... ... Objectives There are additional attributes that the classification system should have for successful and effective use in practice. The land use classification system should be: • comprehensible – comprehensible to both technical analysts as well as agency reviewers and decision makers; • sensitive – sensitive so internal trip capture estimates for different combinations of interacting land uses represent the true level of interaction between those uses; • measurable – readily measurable with normally available information at the times when such information is needed; • stable – stable so short term development fads can be easily accommodated; and • universally applicable – applicable over all possible types of MXD.

Since the type of surrounding areas may influence internal trip capture by affecting competing opportunities and their attractiveness, it is recommended that area types be included in the classification system. The following area types or contexts are recommended since they possibly involve different levels of interaction among uses within MXDs: • rural, • suburban, • urban, • midtown/suburban activity center (define as midtown or suburban business district or activity center [minimum office-retail-restaurant uses with at least 1 sq ft per area population with 100,000 sq ft minimum] Read the entire page →
