Traditional Neighborhood Development District

The TND District is a mixed-use, planned development district. In this district, land uses and development standards are enumerated but still provide the developer with substantial flexibility to create a unique, self-contained community. The purpose of a Traditional Neighborhood Development Zoning District (TND District) is to encourage mixed-use, compact development integrating a variety of land uses within close proximity of one another. This district’s intent is to provide for the traditional development practices and flexible land use alternatives, rather than prohibiting conventional development, by allowing for: Human scale design options; A mixture of uses, including residential, commercial, civic, and open space uses in close proximity to one another within the neighborhood; A variety of housing types, residential densities, and sizes to accommodate households of all ages, sizes, and incomes; The incorporation of a system of interconnected streets, roads, drives, with sidewalks and walkways, that offer multiple routes for motorists, pedestrians, for connections to existing and future developments; Building design and other improvements in an arrangement, bulk, form, character and landscaping that establishes a livable, harmonious and diverse environment; The incorporation of environmental features into the design; The coordination of transportation systems with a hierarchy of appropriately designed facilities for pedestrians and vehicles; Well-configured squares, plazas, greens, landscaped streets, preserves, greenways and parks woven into the pattern of the neighborhood; The incorporation of architecture, landscaping, lighting and signage standards integrated with the zoning provisions that contribute to the intended design character of the planned development.
