The purpose of this report is to provide a planning framework to ensure adequate coordination between the development of a light rail transit (LRT) system and land use related activities. This framework can be utilized at different stages of LRT development to take advantage of development opportunities or, if desired, to preserve stable neighborhoods and businesses in the vicinity of LRT lines. This report serves as information and guidance to cities in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, which are ultimately responsible for land use related decisions, and to the Regional Transit Board (RTB) and regional rail authorities which are primarily responsible for the development of an LRT system in the Twin Cities
