TCAAP Redevelopment Code (TRC) – Chapters 6-7 <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher stated that Chapters 6 and 7 of the draft <br />TCAAP zoning code are two of the longest and most detail-oriented chapters of the draft code. <br />These chapters primarily address the placement and design of buildings to create an appealing <br />pedestrian-friendly environment. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Hutmacher explained that Chapter 6 (Building Site <br />Development Standards) sets setbacks, building frontage, height, and other design requirements <br />for each district. Higher standards are often placed on properties adjacent to Pedestrian Priority <br />or Pedestrian Friendly frontages. These are located in the Office Mixed Use, Retail Mixed Use, <br />Town Center, and Neighborhood Transition Districts as depicted in the attached draft Regulating <br />Plan.
