42-45.1.

Purpose and intent. The Traditional Neighborhood Development District is intended to provide for predominantly residential but mixed-use developments that are designed according to the principles of "new urbanism" with a grid or modified-grid street network, pedestrian scale and orientation, shallow front yards, relatively narrow local streets planted with shade trees and provided with wide sidewalks, and with automobile garages accessed via alleys or located to the rear of residential lots. TND districts are further distinguished from conventional suburban subdivision developments in their provision of public greens or common areas. TND districts are considered appropriate adjacent to the central business district. Because the principles of TND design cannot be accomplished to any significant degree on very small sites, a minimum size for TND development is established.

42-45.2.

Permitted and conditional uses. Permitted and conditional uses shall be as provided in table 6.1, "Permitted and Conditional Uses for Residential Zoning Districts."

42-45.3.

Dimensional requirements. Height, area, setback, lot width, and other dimensional requirements shall be as provided in table 6.2, "Dimensional Requirements for Residential Zoning Districts."

42-45.4.

Site plan approval required. Development within this district requires site plan approval by the governing body after recommendation by the planning commission. The site plan approval may take place during the process of considering an application for rezoning to this district, or upon an application for development, whichever occurs first. In addition, the applicant for site plan approval shall also submit illustrative front, rear, and side architectural elevations drawn to an architectural scale of all new types of buildings, and major accessory structures if any, including parking structures.

42-45.5.

Design and development requirements. Development in the Traditional Neighborhood Development zoning district shall comply with the following standards and regulations.

(1)

Pedestrian access and sidewalks. The site plan must demonstrate that the project will be designed in a way that gives preference to pedestrian (including transit users) versus vehicular access. To this end, the applicant shall identify all existing sidewalks within 500 feet of the development area and present a pedestrian access plan that provides pedestrian access connections to compatible adjacent properties and the public sidewalk system. Sidewalks meeting or exceeding the construction specifications of the city shall be provided by the developer along all streetscapes abutting road corridors to specifications meeting or exceeding the standards of the city's downtown streetscape improvements. Sidewalks meeting said city specifications shall also be required to be installed by the developer along all other streets abutting the development area and along public and private through streets within the developments.

(2)

Streetscape improvements. The site plan of said development must demonstrate that the redevelopment project will comply with the following streetscape improvements. The first ten feet of private property abutting the right-of-way of road corridor shall be improved as a streetscape with an appropriate combination of the following elements: one or more pedestrian plazas or public use areas containing benches and shelters; development amenity features such as low-lying walls or fountains; landscaping including street/shade trees; pedestrian-scale signage and development identification monuments; bicycle parking facilities; and steps or landings leading to buildings with retail or office-institutional uses on the ground floor with store-front windows. The city may require a general purpose utility and streetscape easement of ten feet in width if needed along the road right-of-way if additional right-of-way is needed and cannot be acquired.

(3)

Building placement. Buildings shall be placed close to (with little if any setback from) streets internal to the development, or along public streets abutting the development area, as determined in the site plan review and approval process. When a single building occupies a lot, said building shall be setback from the right-of-way no more than 15 feet.

(4)

Residential uses and open spaces. Residential areas should be designed in a grid-like pattern of blocks and interconnecting streets. Block length should not exceed 800 feet without intervening (mid-block) pedestrian access ways. Central residential areas should be designed in a grid-like pattern of blocks and interconnecting streets and alleys, and block length should not exceed 500 feet. Open spaces, such as town greens and public squares, should be located and designed to add to the visual amenities of the development. Greens and squares should be spatially defined and distributed throughout the village so that no lot is more than a walking distance of 1,350 feet from a green, square, or park. Greens and squares should not be less than 8,000 square feet in area.

(5)

Non-residential uses. Enclosed retail trade establishments, personal service establishments, and related non-residential uses, if proposed and permitted, shall be located in careful relation to other land uses within and outside of the development. Such uses must be scaled to the pedestrian and to the district itself so that they predominantly if not exclusively serve the occupants of the district. The storefront area should contain retail uses, professional offices, and personal or professional services in one-and-one-half story buildings where each individual establishment is 1,500 square feet or less, and up to 3,500 square feet when in buildings of two or more stories. Buildings containing residential units, usually on an upper story (i.e., vertical mixed use development) are particularly encouraged. Storefront buildings should have at least 60 feet of their front façade coincident with their street frontage. Preferably, storefront buildings fronting the same street and located on the same block should be attached on the sides, except as necessary to accommodate pedestrian ways. The amount of land in the development devoted to enclosed retail trade establishments, personal service establishments, civic, and institutional residential uses shall not exceed 20 percent of the total site area of the property included in the site plan.

(6)

Parking decks. Parking decks shall be no more than two stories or no taller than the height of the tallest principal building in the development, whichever is less. Parking decks shall be located near the center of the development and as far as is practicable shall be screened from view from abutting street rights-of-ways. Parking structures may be constructed underneath one or more principal buildings, with a ground-level, first-story, or subterranean elevation. Parking decks are encouraged to be constructed in a manner than includes ground floor retail or office use within the deck structure. To avoid a monotonous appearance, and to break up extensive wall space, parking decks shall incorporate design features such as recesses, projections, façade treatments, and planter boxes with landscaping integrated into exterior walls of the parking decks.

(Ord. No. 12-22-20, 1-5-2021)

In order to encourage high quality growth, proposed single-family detached residential developments in the R-1, R-1A and R-1B zoning districts are entitled to a 25 percent density bonus if all of the following voluntary criteria are met:

(1)

All units will meet certification standards of the EarthCraft House certification program or will be LEED certified homes.

(2)

All units will be clad with exterior finishes of brick, stone, or hard-coat stucco on 67 percent or more of wall surfaces and 100 percent architectural shingles, slate or tile roof.

(3)

All units will have four-sided interest, which means each exterior wall shall have multiple windows or a combination of windows and doors.

(4)

Architectural elements. The front of each residence shall exhibit a variety of color, material and texture, with a variety of architectural elements. The front of each residence shall exhibit at least three of the following features:

a.

Shutters on at least two front windows, or other window accents;

b.

Architectural doors with at least one side light;

c.

Covered porch;

d.

Arches, columns, gables or cornices.

(5)

Minimum square footage of each residential shall be 2,000 conditioned square feet with a separate attached or detached parking garage that is constructed of materials designed to match the principal structure.

For purposes of this chapter a 25 percent density bonus means that the applicable minimum lot size for the zoning district, as shown in table 6.2, shall be reduced by up to 25 percent if the criteria of this section are met.
