CHAPTER 104

23 Traditional Neighborhood Zones TN

Editors Note: Ord 2021-16, adopted May 25, 2021, merged the MV-1, M-1, M-2, and M-3 zones into a single chapter, removing them from Chapter 22, 23, 24, and 25, and placing them into Chapter 21. Any reference to them is a reference to Chapter 21.

Sec 104-23-1 Purpose And Intent*

The purpose of the Traditional Neighborhood (TN) zone is to promote a pedestrian-friendly, master-planned development that blends diverse residential, commercial, civic, and recreational uses. This zone emphasizes fine-grained design with distinct centers and edges, creating vibrant public realms shaped by thoughtful urban planning rather than relying solely on architectural complexity. Development within this zone will incorporate open spaces, recreational components, and well-designed, architecturally integrated structures that are appropriately landscaped and harmoniously buffered from surrounding land uses. This zone aims to balance local context, functionality, and aesthetic beauty to foster thriving, walkable communities through customized development requirements and approach.
