The purpose of this ordinance is to allow the optional development and redevelopment of land in Marshall Township consistent with the design principles of traditional neighborhoods.
The Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) is allowed in the Town Center (TC) District and Route 19 Boulevard (RB) District as a conditional use. Traditional Neighborhood Development in the RB District encourages a mixture of retail uses, restaurants, services, work places, entertainment and civic facilities, and moderate- to high-density housing in a compact pattern that balances automobile access with strong pedestrian elements to create a walkable environment. Traditional Neighborhood Developments within the TC District encourages complete traditional neighborhoods with a diverse range of dwelling types, such as single- and two-family houses, attached townhouses, and condominium or apartments mixed together for a moderate- to high-density compact pattern of development that balances automobile access with strong pedestrian elements to create a walkable environment.
