design standards. Determination of permissible density will occur during the
development review process.
TN Neighborhood Principles
Each Traditional Neighborhood should be 100 acres in size or less. Each
neighborhood must contain a central public focal point consisting of a
combination of parks, elementary school and/or public facilities. Homes will
be concentrated and within a one-half mile radius of these uses and of
proposed trolley stops, making public transit a viable alternative to the
automobile. Street space is designed to accommodate vehicles and pedestrians
comfortably. To enhance streetscapes, houses should be constructed close to
the street and garages should face the rear lot line with access from alleys.
On-street parking is permitted.
Local and collector streets and pedestrian/bike paths should contribute to a
system of fully-connected routes from individual neighborhoods to the
Neighborhood Center, Community Center and other neighborhoods. Their
design should encourage pedestrian and bicycle use by being spatially defined
by buildings, trees, and lighting.
To create a sense of neighborhood identity, neighborhoods within the TN
should have well defined edges and centers with common areas where
neighbors can interact. The common area may take the form of a park or
playground. Edges should be defined, whenever possible, by natural buffers
such as tree screens, wetlands and/or lakes, rather than physical barriers such
as walls or fences.
The quantification of uses within the Traditional Neighborhood Development
Neighborhood Center designation shall be consistent with the following:
Minimum Maximum
Land Use Required Permitted
Office 0% 40%
Commercial/Retail 50% 80%
Public Parks/Open Space 5% 30%
The TN development pattern is arranged in the form of villages, with three
zones within each village, starting with the business and civic core known as
the Neighborhood Center, which is surrounded by the denser multi-family,
townhome, and small-lot single family Village zone, and finally with the
periphery of the village being the single-family Suburban zone. A designated
Activity or Community Center may substitute for the Neighborhood Center.
Such a center must be walking distance range of all dwellings that is no
greater than three-quarters of a mile. Neighborhood Centers must be located
at least one mile from another Neighborhood, Activity or Community Center,
unless the Neighborhood Center is utilized as a transition element for an
existing Activity or Community Center.
