South Greensboro Area Plan - Public Review Draft - 9.25.25

By recommending the Crossmax Orange route along Randleman Road and Elmsley Drive for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), this plan—aligned with the goals of the GOBORO Plan—emphasizes strategic investments in transit infrastructure, infill development, and housing. The focus on these corridors supports the creation of walkable, mixed-use environments that enhance connectivity and livability. Public improvements such as upgraded streetscapes, pedestrian amenities, and community facilities are prioritized to complement the transit investment, fostering a cohesive and vibrant urban fabric along these key suburban corridors.

Roadway Design » Smaller blocks, connected street grids, wide sidewalks, safe crossings and intersections, protected bike lanes, and transit priority are all important roadway design measures. Land Use Map and Zoning Ordinance » Consider a transit overlay on the Land Use and Zoning maps. » Implement affordable housing programs and policies. » Explore opportunities for public-private partnerships early in the TOD planning process.

Edgemont Rd » Allow taller, denser development by regulating building height and density. » Encourage building placement with minimum setbacks and frontage standards that support a good pedestrian experience. » Create more open spaces through tools like Open Space Ratios to foster vibrant public life and community activities. » Require parking placement away from the front and revise parking minimums. » Encourage gridded streets and well-sized blocks over large surface parking lots in future development. » Retrofit existing large-scale development with smaller street blocks. TOD Policy, Vision, and Branding » Conduct formal visioning efforts that engage all stakeholders and community members.
