Neighborhood Pattern and Design

• NEIGHBORHOOD PATTERN & DESIGN PREREQUISITES
  • NPD Prerequisite 1: Open Community
    Intent: Promote communities that are physically connected to each other. Foster community and connectedness beyond the development.
    Requirements: Designate all streets and sidewalks that are built as part of the project or serving the project directly as available for general public use and not gated. Gated areas and enclaves are NOT considered available for public use, with the exception of education and health care campuses where gates are used for security purposes.
    · A site and/or vicinity map indicating that all streets and sidewalks are available for general public use.
  • NPD Prerequisite 2: Compact Development
    Intent: Conserve land. Promote livability, transportation efficiency, and walkability.

    · A site plan indicating densities by parcel.
