The psrc/hb-1491 repository is designed to evaluate and process transportation stops, land use, and development potential. It incorporates analyses such as determining buffer sizes for transit stops, evaluating the floor-area ratio (FAR) for parcels, and integrating demographic/land-use data with transit services.
Core functionalities include:
-
Transit Stops Analysis:
- Categorizes transit stops and creates buffer zones based on specifications such as population thresholds, urban zoning, and transit mode.
- Data sources include GTFS files for different years.
-
Land Use and FAR Evaluation:
- Reads, merges, and processes geographic data to calculate maximum FAR for residential and mixed-use parcels. Assesses compliance with House Bill 1491 guidelines.
- Includes detailed evaluations such as parcel size thresholds (e.g., 10k sqft).
-
Geo-spatial Outputs:
- Generates outputs in geospatial formats such as OpenFileGDB for integration into GIS tools.
