s Section 9.2.4.also provides for incentives for projects which include public transit support.

Thoroughfare Types are allowed in.each sub -zone: 1) Neighborhood Edge: A., B, Alley; ii} Neighborhood General: A, C, C*, Alley, Boulevard (Type C only allowed within. 250' of Mixed -Use sub -zone boundary) iii) Neighborhood Mixed -Use: C, D.
