Lake Protection Node Zoning District

The Lake Protection Node (LPN) zoning district is intended to: Accommodate compact, mixed-use development at designated major intersections to provide retail, service, and recreation opportunities to nearby residents; Provide a development pattern that is transit-supportive, based on a high degree of interconnected streets, and a compact layout of uses that fronts streets and sidewalks; Create a development pattern that efficiently uses infrastructure and minimizes environmental impact by concentrating non-residential uses around major intersections; Protect community health and safety by minimizing automobile dependency and reducing vehicle miles traveled through design supporting a variety of travel modes; Create a safe, convenient, interconnected, and comfortable foot and bicycle network in the nodes; Minimize stormwater runoff by utilizing low-impact design and requiring strict water quality treatment and volume control stormwater facilities as outlined in section 10-4.301 to protect the Lake Jackson Basin; and Facilitate compatibility with nearby neighborhoods through buffers, transitioning building mass and scale, and other considerate site design strategies.; The LPN district permits residential, non-residential, and mixed-use development utilizing urban services. Non-residential development allowed within this district is limited to office, retail, lodging, professional and medical services, and residential care facilities.
