The purpose of this article is to encourage the development of transit-supportive
mixed-use neighborhoods that foster pedestrian activity and a sense of community.
It recognizes that many activities of living should occur within easy walking distance,
giving independence to those who do not drive. It also recognizes the importance of
linkages to the broader community and the importance of public transit as a viable
alternative to the automobile by providing appropriate densities and land uses within
walking distance of the transit stop.
This article recognizes that the suburban development pattern of late 20th century
has produced a separation of land uses, excessive vehicular trip generation, inefficient
public transportation, and infrastructure costs that exceed available resources. It
is the intent of this article to provide for a development pattern that can reduce
trip demand and infrastructure costs, and to create more viable communities, by adapting
the land development principles that guided our country's first settlements, towns,
cities and suburbs.
