Traditional Residential-Planned District

The TR-P District is established to encourage the development of new traditional neighborhoods in close-in or outlying parts of the City that incorporate the characteristics of existing traditional neighborhoods. Features include a variety of lot sizes and integrated housing types, detached or alley-loaded garages, traditional architectural features such as porches, an interconnected street system and the creation of a high-quality public realm. A large-scale TR-P development will be designed through a master planning process. Where a TR-P District is developed in conjunction with or in proximity to an existing or planned mixed-use or higher-density district (for example, a Neighborhood Mixed-Use District, Traditional Shopping Street District, or Traditional Residential-Urban District) the TR-P District is also intended to meet the goals of traditional neighborhood development as established by the State of Wisconsin and Dane County. These goals include the following: Reduce public costs by making more efficient use of infrastructure.; Protect the environment through reduced land consumption, preservation of on-site environmental features, and reduced automobile travel.; Increase public safety and welfare through street design that results in slower driver speeds and reduced accidents, injuries and fatalities.; Promote the reinvestment in existing developed areas.; Foster community through attractive streets and public spaces that create opportunities for encounters and gatherings.
