Transit-proximate development
Transit-proximate development is a term used by some planning officials to describe development that is physically near a public transport node. This type of development includes transit-oriented development, but, according to some planning officials, can also describe development that is not transit-oriented development. Thus, transit-proximate development can include results where, despite the location of dense development near transit, the development does not take full advantage of -- or fully encourage the use of -- the public transport node. For example, transit-proximate development could include buildings with extensive parking facilities typical of suburban locations, a lack of "mixed-use development", or a lack of extensive pedestrian facilities that would make it easier for people to reach the public transport node.
