The goal of this type of subdivision is to provide everything a resident would need in an area within walking distance. Connecting a college with a residential and commercial area can only provide growth for multiple parties involved. This development will ultimately be connected to COS, and Tulare city manager Marc Mondell said that is a key factor in this type of development. It’s transit oriented, it’s near Mission Oak, it’s near COS, it’s near a high density residential area, it’s going to have a commercial component and it’s going to have a transit component.” “With that, we’re going to encourage walkability. “The city of Tulare was one of the first cities to say, ‘okay, we’re gonna do this transit oriented development concept,’ which is an overlay over our general plan update,” Myers said. In order to qualify as a TOD, the development must be focused on access to public transit.Īrun Toor with Toor Capital is planning the development that will house apartments, townhouses, single family homes, a school and additional amenities on over 200 acres in between Mission Oak High School and College of the Sequoias (COS) Tulare campus. Along with some of the major projects in Tulare like the update to Zumwalt Park, downtown redevelopment and the homeless shelter, Tulare is taking advantage of its first transit oriented development overlay (TOD). 4th Tulare City Council meeting, Traci Myers, Tulare’s community and economic developer, gave an economic development update.
