(A)

The purpose of a traditional neighborhood district is to encourage mixed-use, compact development that is sensitive to the environmental characteristics of the land and facilitates the efficient use of services. A traditional neighborhood district diversifies and integrates land uses within close proximity to each other, and it provides for the daily recreational and shopping needs of the residents. A traditional neighborhood district is a sustainable, long-term community that provides economic opportunity and environmental and social equity for the residents.

(B)

A traditional neighborhood district is designed to ensure the development of land as a traditional neighborhood. Its design adopts the urban conventions which were the norm in the United States from colonial times until the 1940's. A traditional neighborhood district is characterized by the following design elements:

(1)

neighborhoods that are limited in size and oriented toward pedestrian activity;

(2)

a variety of housing types, jobs, shopping, services, and public facilities;

(3)

residences, shops, workplaces, and civic buildings interwoven within the neighborhood, all within close proximity;

(4)

a network of interconnecting streets and blocks that maintains respect for the natural landscape;

(5)

natural features and undisturbed areas that are incorporated into the open space of the neighborhood;

(6)

a coordinated transportation system with a hierarchy of appropriately designed facilities for pedestrians, bicycles, public transit, and automotive vehicles;

(7)

well-configured squares, plazas, greens, landscaped streets, preserves, greenbelts, and parks woven into the pattern of the neighborhood and dedicated to the collective social activity, recreation, and visual enjoyment of the populace;

(8)

civic buildings, open spaces, and other visual features that act as landmarks, symbols, and focal points for community identity;

(9)

compatibility of buildings and other improvements as determined by their arrangement, bulk, form, character, and landscaping to establish a livable, harmonious, and diverse environment;

(10)

private buildings that form a consistent, distinct edge and define the border between the public street space and the private block interior; and

(11)

architecture and landscape that respond to the unique character of the region.

(A)

A traditional neighborhood district consists of an area of not less than 40 contiguous acres and not more than 250 contiguous acres. In this chapter, property is considered contiguous even if separated by a public roadway.

(B)

A traditional neighborhood district is divided into at least two types of Areas, and each type of Area has different land use and site development regulations. A traditional neighborhood district must have one Neighborhood Center Area and at least one Mixed Residential Area. A traditional neighborhood district may also have a Neighborhood Edge Area, a Workshop Area, or an Employment Center Area.

(C)

A Neighborhood Center Area serves as the focal point of a traditional neighborhood district, containing retail, commercial, civic, and public services to meet the daily needs of community residents. A Neighborhood Center is pedestrian-oriented, and it is designed to encourage pedestrian movement between a Mixed Residential Area and a Neighborhood Center Area. A square is required in a Neighborhood Center Area. Retail and commercial uses should generally be located adjacent to a square. Neighborhood Center Area uses include retail shops, restaurants, offices, banks, hotels, post office, governmental offices, churches, community centers, and attached residential dwellings.

(D)

A Mixed Residential Area includes a variety of residential land uses including single-family residential, duplex, townhouse, and multi-family. Residential scale retail and commercial uses are permitted within a Mixed Residential area with strict architectural and land use controls. Retail and commercial uses in a Mixed Residential area are required to blend into the residential character of the neighborhood. A Mixed Residential area includes open spaces including small squares, pocket parks, community parks, and greenbelts. A Mixed Residential Area promotes pedestrian activity through well designed and varied streetscapes that also provide for the safe and efficient movement of vehicular traffic. Mixed Residential Area uses include single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses, apartments, offices, restaurants, neighborhood scale retail, and civic uses.

(E)

A Neighborhood Edge Area is the least dense portion of a traditional neighborhood district, with larger lots and greater setbacks than the rest of the neighborhood. Alleys are not required, and direct vehicular access to the street is permitted. Only single family residential dwellings are permitted. A Neighborhood Edge Area is appropriate along the perimeter of the neighborhood. A portion of a traditional neighborhood district that adjoins existing or platted conventional low density housing must be designated as a Neighborhood Edge Area.

(F)

A traditional neighborhood district may have a Workshop Area, an Employment Center Area, or both. Commercial and light industrial uses that are not appropriate for a Neighborhood Center Area or a Mixed Residential Area but which serve the local residents may be located in a Workshop Area. Large office and low-impact manufacturing uses may be located within an Employment Center Area. The scale and architectural conventions of a traditional neighborhood district apply to a Workshop area and an Employment Center Area.

(G)

Civic uses that are oriented to the general public are permitted in a Neighborhood Center Area and a Mixed Residential Area. These uses are essential components of the social and physical fabric of a traditional neighborhood district. Special attention should be paid to the location of government offices, libraries, museums, schools, churches, and other prominent public buildings to create focal points and landmarks for the community. The locations of these major public civic uses are designated on the Development Plan at the time of zoning approval.

(H)

Open space is a significant part of a traditional neighborhood district design. Formal and informal open spaces are required. These serve as areas for community gatherings, landmarks, and as organizing elements for the neighborhood. Open space includes squares, plazas, greens, preserves, parks, and greenbelts.

(I)

A traditional neighborhood district is designed to be pedestrian oriented. To accomplish this goal, street pattern and design is used to reduce vehicle travel speeds and encourage pedestrian activity. An interconnected network of streets and alleys is required. Streets may be smaller than in conventional development and more varied in size and form to control traffic and give character to the neighborhood.

(1)

Property pins or other forms of permanent markers identified in the most recent edition of the Manual of Practice for Land Surveying in Texas, published by the Texas Society of Professional Surveyors, shall be placed by the surveyor at all corners of boundary lines of a subdivision. Pins and markers may not be spaced more than 1,300 feet apart. One corner of the subdivision shall be identified by a concrete monument unless a concrete monument exists on an adjacent platted subdivision within 1,300 feet of the proposed plat.

(2)

If a concrete monument exists on an adjacent platted subdivision within 1,300 feet of the proposed plat, no concrete monuments are required for the proposed plat. In that instance, boundary corners may be set with permanent markers identified in the most recent edition of Manual of Practice for Land Surveying in Texas.

(3)

Intermediate property corners, curve points, and angle points shall be marked by iron stakes.

(B)

Easements for public utilities and enclosed or open drainage ways shall be retained in all subdivisions in the widths and locations deemed necessary by the director. To the extent practicable, the easements for water lines, wastewater lines, and storm sewers shall be located in the street rights-of-way, and the easements for all other utilities shall be located in the alley rights-of-way. All the easements shall be dedicated to public use for the named purpose and shall be aligned to minimize construction cost.

Utilities shall be located underground unless this requirement is, for good cause, waived by the director, and, if applicable, the director of the Electric Utility Department.

(D)

When the director finds that easements in areas adjoining a proposed subdivision are necessary to provide adequate drainage or to serve the subdivision with utilities, the subdivider shall obtain the easements or make arrangements with the City to obtain them.

(E)

Streets of new subdivisions shall be aligned with existing streets on adjoining property unless the Land Use Commission determines that the Comprehensive Plan, topography, requirements of traffic circulation, or other considerations make it desirable to depart from the alignment.

(F)

Each lot in a subdivision, except a lot that fronts on a plaza and abuts an alley, shall abut a dedicated public street.

(G)

Except in a Neighborhood Edge Area, each lot in a subdivision shall abut an alley unless the director determines that good cause exists to omit an alley or portion of an alley.

(M)

The side lines of lots in subdivisions shall be approximately at right angles to straight street lines or radial to curved street lines. An arrangement placing adjacent lots at right angles to each other shall be avoided.

(N)

Block length may not exceed 600 feet. Block width may not exceed 300 feet. The director may approve a block width of not more than 400 feet or a block length of not more than 1000 feet if required because of topography or existing street layout, but a block longer than 800 feet must be traversed by a pedestrian path near the midpoint.

(O)

Minimum lot size, maximum lot size, and minimum lot width are specified in the site development regulations contained in this chapter for a Neighborhood Center Area, a Mixed Residential Area, a Neighborhood Edge Area, a Workshop Area, and an Employment Center Area. Open space lots must comply with the dimensional requirements of this chapter.
