Old Town 1 District

The OT-1 Old Town 1 District is intended to create a mixed-use focal point for the Town. This district is appropriate within that portion of the original dedication of the Town of Argyle that is located east and west of the centerline of U.S. Highway 377 right-of-way, west of the centerline of the right-of-way for Cypress Street. A mixture of retail, office, governmental, and residential uses is appropriate within the OT-1 District. Additionally, public pedestrian walkways and open areas in order to promote interaction among the various land uses and to create a pedestrian friendly environment are encouraged. The following are key concepts that should be acknowledged through development practices within the OT-1 District: Residential uses are encouraged in conjunction with nonresidential activities in order to create an active core area of the Town; Appropriate residential uses include residential dwellings located directly above nonresidential uses, townhomes, single-family attached units, and single-family detached units; Retail uses within the OT-1 District should be constructed in such a manner and at such a scale so as to be inviting to pedestrians and emphasize small, specialty shops, restaurants and professional offices; Traffic flows within the OT-1 District should enable people to move freely without the use of a motor vehicle by becoming integrated with the Town's overall pedestrian network and by full integration with any Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan as adopted by the Town from time to time; and Outside social gathering spaces, such as small parks and courtyards, should be an integral part of the OT-1 District.
