170-29.1 Traditional Neighborhood Development District - TND
The TND District is intended to allow development consistent with design principles of a traditional neighborhood.
A traditional neighborhood is compact; is designed for the human and pedestrian scale; provides a mix of residential
uses including civic, small scale retail and open space uses in close proximity to one another in the neighborhood;
is architecturally integrated; provides a mix of housing styles, types and sizes to accommodate a variety of
households; is integrated into the surrounding communities; incorporates interconnected streets with sidewalks and
bikeways and transit that offer multiple routes for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists and provide for the
connections of those streets to existing and future developments and incorporates significant environmental features
into the design. A diversity of housing types and lot sizes is considered to promote and facilitate projected
requirements of people with different housing needs.
A. Minimum criteria.
1. TND developments shall only be permitted on parcels of 40 acres or greater. Parcels less than the
minimum acreage may be developed as TND if they are contiguous to an existing TND zoned area
and development on said parcels or tracts can be harmoniously integrated consistent with the
requirements and purposes of this zone.
2. The TND development shall have access to an existing or planned arterial or collector road;, and
be organized around network of interconnected public streets in a grid pattern that
establishes and forms a street hierarchy limited to arterial, collector, local/secondary streets,
and alleys. The street network/hierarchy must be delineated by a Regulating Plan.
3. TND developments have physical form (buildings styles and sizes, and lot sizes) as well as
required open spaces that vary in character and intensity so as to best integrate and
interconnect with the surrounding neighborhood and community character.
4. The TND development shall be served by adequate existing or planned infrastructure.; and
5. No land shall be classified as TND District unless it is so designated in the Town
Comprehensive Plan.
B. Review procedures and guidelines.
1. TND developments shall be submitted in accordance with the Town Subdivision Regulations and
Zoning Ordinance.
2. A tentative sketch plan for the entire TND development shall be submitted to the Planning
Commission in accordance with the Town Subdivision Regulations. In addition to the information
required of the subdivision regulations, the tentative sketch plan shall be accompanied by
architectural renderings, a regulating plan inclusive of open space, a street hierarchy, conceptual
street cross-sections and other such information as may be required by the Planning Commission
to determine consistency with these regulations and the Comprehensive Plan.
3. A preliminary plat for the entire TND development shall be submitted to the Planning Commission
in accordance with the Town Subdivision Regulations. In addition to the information required of
the subdivision regulations, the preliminary plat shall be accompanied by preliminary architectural
elevations, preliminary street cross-sections and other such information as may be required by the
Planning Commission to determine consistency with these regulations and the Comprehensive
Plan. The preliminary plat for the TND shall include site specific topography and the surveyed
location of adjacent streets, sidewalks and water and sewer facilities.
4. If the preliminary plat is approved by the Planning Commission, a site plan shall be submitted to
the Planning Commission in accordance with the Town Zoning Ordinance. The site plan shall
include the final construction drawings and final architectural plans.

5. TND may be developed in phases. If developed in phases, the Planning Commission shall require
such information and mechanisms as they deem necessary to assure that the entire development is
developed in accordance with the TND principles as indicated on the preliminary plat and tentative
sketch plan. Said information and mechanisms may include, but are not limited to, deed restrictions,
easements, financial sureties and a "palette/pattern book" that provides a range of building choices
consistent with the TND principles approved by the Planning Commission.
6. The requirements of this section apply to all proposed development within the TND zoning district.
The Planning Commission may approve minor variations to the standards in this section as deemed
appropriate, provided that the Planning Commission finds that the minor variations will still
produce a development that complies with the intent of this zoning district, the development design
standards and the Comprehensive Plan.
7. When the provisions of these regulations conflict with other standards found in the Code of the
Town of Centreville and/or the Development Design Standards, the more restrictive regulation shall
apply. except when specifically modified through the PUD approval process. [Amended 11-4-

land when there is a connection to the pedestrian and bicycle path network at the terminus.
5. Parking. Off-street parking lots in a TND shall comply with the subdivision regulations and the
dDevelopment dDesign sStandards. and Subsection G(5)(a) through (o) below, except as such
