Street Connectivity Requirements TOD zones promote a fine-grained street grid to enhance pedestrian movement and reduce block lengths Blocks should be no longer than 300 to 500 feet in dense urban TODs Mid-block crossings or paseos are encouraged for accessibility Dead-ends and cul-de-sacs are discouraged within TOD boundaries Street networks must prioritize direct connections to transit...
Density Allowances in TOD Zones TOD districts often permit higher development density to encourage compact, transit-friendly growth Increased floor area ratio (FAR) allows more buildable space per plot Minimum density thresholds may apply to ensure transit-supportive scale Higher residential unit counts are permitted per acre or hectare Density incentives may be tied to inclusion of...
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) District Relevance TOD districts are special zones created to support walkable, high-density, mixed-use development near transit hubs. Encourages residential, commercial, and civic uses within walking distance Promotes reduced car dependency through pedestrian and cycling infrastructure Typically allows increased building heights and floor area ratios...
Utility Power Supply Agreements Multi-port EV stations require formal agreements with local utilities to secure and manage high-load supply. Power purchase agreements (PPAs) or supply contracts must be signed with the utility Load requirement applications must specify peak demand and charger count Interconnection agreements ensure compliance with grid safety and metering...
Traditional Fuel Station Franchise Demand Established oil marketing companies (OMCs) and fuel brands continue to expand in strategic growth corridors. Brands like Indian Oil, HPCL, BPCL, and Reliance seek highway and urban expansion Franchise models offer buy, lease, or operate formats depending on location Demand is strong near logistics hubs, industrial zones, and state...
Stormwater Management Requirements Fueling sites must control runoff to prevent pollutants from reaching natural water bodies Must install oil-water separators or treatment units in drainage systems Require engineered stormwater detention or retention basins EPA’s Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans often apply Permits may be required under the Clean Water Act’s...
UST Permitting and Pre-Installation Approvals Underground storage tank (UST) installation requires multiple permits across environmental, fire, and building departments. Must submit plans for approval to the state environmental agency and fire marshal Environmental impact and site safety assessments are typically mandatory Local zoning and land-use clearance may be required before site...
Site Environmental Assessment Before gas station development, a thorough environmental review is conducted to identify contamination risks. Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) checks for past hazardous use Phase II ESA involves soil and groundwater testing if contamination is suspected Risk-based corrective actions (RBCA) may be required before approval Remediation must be...
Highway Proximity and Connectivity Close distance to major highways significantly boosts drive-by traffic and impulse stops for refueling or charging. Sites within 0.5 to 1 km of national or state highways see maximum demand Visibility from oncoming lanes encourages spontaneous detours Easy highway ramp access supports large vehicle movement Fuel and EV operators target rest stops and...
Power Demand and Load Requirements High-speed EV chargers require a substantial electrical load to support fast energy transfer. Level 3 chargers need between 50 kW to 350 kW per unit Total site load may exceed 1 MW for multiple charging points Requires three-phase power at 480 volts or higher Load calculations must consider peak usage and future scalability Grid Proximity and...
