The city’s unified development code establishes a Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) Zoning District (§8.217).This designation aims to encourage compact, mixed-use development through the use of incentives. The regulation defines what TND is, sets extensive design requirements, and lays out a process for plan review and approval.
