Appendix A. UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE

§ 210-80. TND Traditional Neighborhood Development District.

Latest version.

210-80.1 Purpose and Intent. The purpose of the Traditional Neighborhood Development District (TND) is to create an innovative zoning classification that encourages a pattern of neighborhood development that will be distinguished from other residential zoning districts through a diversity of lot sizes, housing types and sizes to accommodate persons of a variety of stages of life in a pedestrian-oriented setting that is well integrated with the County's neighborhoods, parks, civic spaces, and supportive services.

210-80.2 Applicability. The TND District is appropriate in the Predominantly Residential Character Areas shown on the Future Development Map in the Gwinnett County 2030 Unified Plan.

210-80.3 Permitted Uses. Uses permitted in the TND District are listed in Section 230-100 Table of Permitted and Special Uses, provided that they comply with Section 230-130 Supplemental Use Standards.

210-80.4 Accessory Uses and Structures. Accessory uses and structures shall be permitted in the TND District in accordance with Section 230-100 Table of Permitted and Special Uses and provisions detailed in Section 230-120 Accessory Use Standards of the UDO.

210-80.5 Special Uses.

Special uses may be permitted in the TND District in accordance with Section 230-100, Table of Permitted and Special Uses. Special uses shall be subject to approval of a Special Use Permit as provided in Section 270-30 and may be subject to the additional Supplemental Use Standards of Section 230-130.

210-80.6 Land Use Mix. Each TND development shall include a mix of land uses, as indicated in Table 210.2.

The intent of allowing these nonresidential uses is to create a small node of retail and commercial services primarily for the convenience and amenity of residents of the TND District. Nonresidential development must be compatible with the residential component of the development, and in general conformance with the Architectural Design Standards and Design Guidelines for Traditional Neighborhood Development.
