Sec. 656.380. - Purpose and intent.

The Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) district is designed to ensure the development of land along the lines of traditional neighborhoods. Its provisions adapt the urban conventions which were normal in the United States from colonial times until the 1940s. The TND zoning prescribes the following physical conventions: (a) The neighborhood is limited in area to that which can be traversed in a ten- to 15-minute walk. (b) Provides a mix of housing densities and types. (c) Residences, shops, workplaces and civic buildings are located in close proximity. (d) A well defined and detailed system of interconnected streets serve the needs of the pedestrian and the car equitably, providing multiple routes to all parts of the neighborhood. (e) Physically defined open spaces in the form of plazas, squares and parks provide places for formal social activity and recreation. (f) Civic buildings reinforce the identity of the neighborhood, providing places of assembly for social, cultural and religious activities. (Ord. 94-607-773, § 1)
