TND Traditional Neighborhood Development District

212-20.1 Purpose and Intent.

The purpose of the Traditional Neighborhood Development District (TND) is to create an innovative zoning classification that encourages a pattern of neighborhood development that will be distinguished from other residential zoning districts through a diversity of lot sizes, housing types and sizes to accommodate persons of a variety of stages of life in a pedestrian-oriented setting that is well integrated with the County's neighborhoods, parks, civic spaces, and supportive services.
