PART 6.06.00 TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (TDD)
Sec. 6.06.01 Introduction and General Principles
Existing patterns of urban development have seriously compromised sustainable growth,
the quality of life, and economic viability of cities. The practices of land use segregation
and auto dependent design criteria have resulted in wide-spread loss of open space and
forest cover; increased traffic congestion and air pollution; environmental degradation
with increased water runoff, soil erosion, and water supply contamination; increased
housing and infrastructure costs; inadequate provision of schools and public services;
and growing areas of declining property values, crime, and poverty. The resultant loss of
community identity adds to these problems by discouraging citizen awareness of, and
participation in, community affairs.
Under this model, a majority of a municipality's time and money is spent replacing and
extending infrastructure and mitigating the negative impacts of development. Assessed
on a project by project basis the total effects and subsequent costs are hidden by
immediate tax base increases and owner profits. However, if assessed at the community
level, long term, all additional development of the model described above becomes a
burden on a community. Low density development increases the cost of living in order to
finance, maintain, and replace infrastructure. Eventually, the increased cost of building
and living in such areas prevents growth from continuing. This occurs long before an
area reaches full economic potential and physical build out. A development model which
addresses these problems must treat a community as a highly complex entity, not
merely as a collection of individual market segments or an opportunity for real estate
speculation.
The most basic viable unit of our complex economic region is the neighborhood.
Neighborhoods provide the daily essential needs of all its residents in an area which is
easily definable and pedestrian friendly. Neighborhoods interconnect to form town
centers. Traditionally, commercial development respected this neighborhood scale, and
therefore integrated itself into the fabric of the neighborhood through appropriate building
design and its center.
The return to traditional and sustainable development practices focuses on physical
change of the urban environment through the traditional design elements of city making;
public space, infrastructure, buildings, and parks. It combines these elements to
construct places beyond the autonomy of the individual project, interest, or property.
Traditional Development is guided by the following set of principles, which in turn
establish the framework in which this Code has been prepared:
THE REGION: METROPOLIS, CITY, AND TOWN
1. Metropolitan regions are finite places with geographic boundaries derived from
topography, watersheds, coastlines, farmlands, regional parks, and river basins.
The metropolis is made of multiple centers that are cities, towns, and villages,
each with its own identifiable center and edges.
2. The metropolitan region is a fundamental economic unit of the contemporary
world. Governmental cooperation, public policy, physical planning, and
economic strategies must reflect this new reality.
Zephyrhills Land Development Code -14-
Article VI Development Options
Fk 5922 PL 283
5 of 57
3. The metropolis has a necessary and fragile relationship to its agrarian hinterland
and natural landscapes. The relationship is environmental, economic, and
cultural. Farmland and nature are as important to the metropolis as the garden is
to the house.
4. Development patterns should not blur or eradicate the edges of the metropolis.
Infill development within existing urban areas conserves environmental
resources, economic investment, and social fabric, while reclaiming marginal
and abandoned areas. Metropolitan regions should develop strategies to
encourage such infill development over peripheral expansion.
5. Where appropriate, new development contiguous to urban boundaries should be
organized as neighborhoods and districts, and be integrated with the existing
urban pattern. Noncontiguous development should be organized as towns and
villages with their own urban edges, and planned for a jobs/housing balance, not
as bedroom suburbs. The development and redevelopment of towns and cities
should respect historical patterns, precedents, and boundaries.
6. Cities and towns should bring into proximity a broad spectrum of public and
private uses to support a regional economy that benefits people of all incomes.
Affordable housing should be distributed throughout the region to match job
opportunities and to avoid concentrations of poverty.
7. The physical organization of the region should be supported by a framework of
transportation alternatives. Transit, pedestrian, and bicycle systems should
maximize access and mobility throughout the region while reducing dependence
upon the automobile.
8. Revenues and resources can be shared more cooperatively among the
municipalities and centers within regions to avoid destructive competition for tax
base and to promote rational coordination of transportation, recreation, public
services, housing, and community institutions.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE DISTRICT, AND THE CORRIDOR
1. The neighborhood, the district, and the corridor are the essential elements of
development and redevelopment in the metropolis. They form identifiable areas
that encourage citizens to take responsibility for their maintenance and
evolution.
2. Neighborhoods should be compact, pedestrian-friendly, and mixed-use. Districts
generally emphasize a special single use, and should follow the principles of
neighborhood design when possible. Corridors are regional connectors of
neighborhoods and districts; they range from boulevards and rail lines to rivers
and parkways.
3. Many activities of daily living should occur within walking distance, allowing
independence to those who do not drive especially the elderly and the young.
Interconnected networks of streets should be designed to encourage walking,
reduce the number and length of automobile trips, and conserve energy.
Zephyrhills Land Development Code -15-
Article

Article VI Development Options
P 2K 5922 PC 284

4. Within neighborhoods, a broad range of housing types and price levels can bring
people of diverse ages, races, and incomes into daily interaction, strengthening
the personal and civic bonds essential to an authentic community.
5. Transit corridors, when properly planned and coordinated, can help organize
metropolitan structure and revitalize urban centers. In contrast, highway
corridors should not displace investment from existing centers.
6. Appropriate building densities and land uses should be within walking distance
of transit stops, permitting public transit to become a viable alternative to the
automobile.
7. Concentrations of civic, institutional, and commercial activity should be
embedded in neighborhoods and districts, not isolated in remote, single-use
complexes. Schools should be sized and located to enable children to walk or
bicycle to them.
8. The economic health and harmonious evolution of neighborhoods, districts, and
corridors can be improved through graphic urban design codes that serve as
predictable guides for change.
9. A range of parks, from tot-lots and village greens to ballfields and community
gardens, should be distributed within neighborhoods. Conservation areas and
open lands should be used to define and connect different neighborhoods and
districts.
THE BLOCK, THE STREET, AND THE BUILDING
1. A primary task of all urban architecture and landscape design is the physical
definition of streets and public spaces as places of shared use.
2. Individual architectural projects should be seamlessly linked to their
surroundings.
3. The revitalization of urban places depends on safety and security. The design of
streets and buildings should reinforce safe environments, but not at the expense
of accessibility and openness.
4. In the contemporary metropolis, development must adequately accommodate
automobiles. It should do so in ways that respect the pedestrian and the form of
public space.
5. Streets and squares should be safe, comfortable, and interesting to the
pedestrian. Properly configured, they encourage walking and enable neighbors
to know each other and protect their communities.
6. Architecture and landscape design should grow from local climate, topography,
history, and building practice.
Zephyrhills Land Development Code -16-

7. Civic buildings and public gathering places require important sites to reinforce
community identity and the culture of democracy. They deserve distinctive form
because their role is different from that of other buildings and places that
constitute the fabric of the town.
8. All buildings should provide their inhabitants with a clear sense of location,
weather and time. Natural methods of heating and cooling can be more
resource-efficient than mechanical systems.
9. Preservation and renewal of historic buildings, districts, and landscapes affirm
the continuity and evolution of urban society.
Section 6.06.02 Purposes
To these ends, the Land Development Code, Districts, and Maps have been prepared
with due consideration of future growth;
1. the promotion of a coherent community scaled built environment, which respects
local and regional architecture;
2. the promotion of an integrated and balanced transportation system based on
pedestrian, transit, and automobile use;
3. the adequate provision of water and sewer infrastructure, schools, parks, and
other public necessities; and for
4. the preservation and enhancement of the natural environment through the
protection and replenishment of urban forests, landscaping of the public realm
and supplemental plantings for projects which reduce existing tree cover
resources.
In addition to these purposes, this Code ensures that growth forms an integral part of a
community of functional neighborhoods and town centers. This type of planning
increases collective security and community identity by promoting civic awareness and
responsibility and enhancing the quality of life for the entire town to ensure the greatest
possible economic and social benefits for all residents.
Section 6.06.03 Organization of the Regulations
Traditional development, as presented in the Comprehensive Plan revision,
encompasses the following types of land uses.
• Traditional Neighborhoods (TND) are intended to accommodate a mix of
housing types, civic and neighborhood-oriented commercial uses, integrated
with a recreation and pedestrian-oriented open space system and a system of
streets, alleys and sidewalks. A neighborhood center with an adjacent
neighborhood square is a community focal point within easy walking distance
of residents.
Zephyrhills Land Development Code -17-
Article VI Development Options
OR BK 5922 PC 286
8 of 57
• Traditional Marketplaces (TMD) have a concentrated area for shopping,
entertainment, business services, cultural and housing opportunities in a
pedestrian-oriented environment. Large-format retail stores ("big boxes") are
not allowed. Floors above shops and offices may be used for housing, offices,
or live/work units.
• Traditional Towns (TTD) provide an opportunity for community planning at a
large scale, integrating traditional neighborhoods and traditional marketplaces
with an inter-connected system of streets, alleys, sidewalks, squares, parks
and open space. A compact development pattern is promoted by not requiring
buffers between uses within the town.
These regulations reflect a 'building block' approach to traditional development, with
Traditional Neighborhoods (TNDs) and Traditional Marketplaces (TMDs) as the base
districts. The TTD functions as an umbrella district, composed of TNDs, TMDs, and
additional land uses needed to support a larger population, such as a traditional
employment center (TEC). A portion of a TTD also could include a Planned
Development District.
Separate regulations are provided for TNDs, TMDs, and TEC's in order to allow these
districts to be developed independently of a TTD.
Provisions for Civic and Open Space/Recreation areas are included in the TND
provisions. A "Neighborhood Center" commercial area in a TND is also included to allow
for small-scale commercial uses intended to serve local residents.
To avoid duplication, standards that apply to all traditional development districts,
including provisions for street and sidewalk design, landscaping, parking, and signage,
have been grouped together as "general standards for all traditional development
districts" (Refer to PART 7.11.00)
Sec 6.06.04 Minimum Area
The minimum size of a Traditional Development District is 40 acres, but TDDs as small
as 25 acres are allowed at infill locations, defined as sites bounded by existing
development on at least two sides. This provision is intended as an incentive.
Sec. 6.06.05 Effect of Traditional Development District Approval
Approval of a TDD district shall constitute an amendment to the zoning ordinance.
Designation of a property as a TDD district in accordance with an approved development
plan shall supersede all existing and prior zoning classifications. Such property shall for
zoning purposes be identified by the letters TDD followed by an identifying number.
Sec. 6.06.06 Uses and Densities Permitted
TNDs may qualify for a density bonus of up to two (2) additional units per acre above the
maximum density allowed for the underlying zoning district as prescribed in Table
7.01.01, provided that the TND is consistent with the standards and requirements of
Article VII.
Zephyrhills Land Development Code -18-
Article VI Development Options
CR 5922 PC; 287
9 of 57
The Development Plan shall specify both for the project as a whole and/or for subareas
within the project, as appropriate, those principal and accessory uses and development
densities that are to be permitted. The City Commission may include or exclude uses
from the Development Plan or include uses with attached conditions as appropriate to
achieve the intent of these provisions. In making its determination of the uses and
development densities to be permitted within the TDD district, the Commission may
consider the compatibility and relationship of uses within the project, the compatibility
and relationship of permitted uses adjoining or in proximity to the TTD district, the
appropriateness of permitted uses for the area in general and their overall impact on the
community, and the consistency of the permitted uses with the Zephyrhills
Comprehensive Plan and other adopted plans and policies.
Sec. 6.06.07 Content of Development Order
A Development Order shall contain at a minimum the following provisions:
1. Intensity of Development. The Development Order shall contain provisions to regulate
the intensity of development within the planned development district. Such provisions
may apply to the project as a whole or to subareas within the project.
a. For non-residential development, the intensity of development may be regulated:
(1) by specifying a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) or Ratios;
(2) by specifying maximum square footage or gross leasable area;
(3) by specifying setbacks, height and bulk restrictions; or
(4) by a combination of such restrictions for the project as a whole or for
components or subareas within the project. In addition, non- residential
Development Order may specify performance standards to be imposed on the
project and restrictions regarding the location and nature of industrial,
commercial and other non- residential activities. In making its determination
regarding the intensity of development and appropriate performance standards,
the City Commission may consider the character and scale of similar
development, the character and scale of surrounding development and the area
in general, the real or anticipated impact on public facilities and services.
b. The minimum and maximum number of dwelling units permitted shall be computed.
The permitted number of dwelling units may be distributed in any manner over the
residential portion of the project consistent with the intent and provisions of this section.
The Development Order shall specify distribution of residential density for the project as
a whole or for subareas within the project. In making its determination regarding the
distribution of residential densities, the City Commission may consider the compatibility
of residential densities with other uses within the district as well as outside the district,
the impact of residential densities on public facilities and services.
2. Uses Permitted. For non-residential development the specific uses shall be listed. For
residential uses the types of dwellings shall be listed.

Article VI Development Options
OR EK 5922 PC 288
10 of 57
3. Bulk, Area and Height Requirements. The Development Order shall specify bulk, area
and height restrictions for the project as a whole or for sub-areas and/or components of
the project. In making its determination regarding such restrictions, the Commission may
consider the character and scale of the proposed development as it relates to other uses
and structures both within the district and outside the district, and the general character
and scale of similar development within the area of the proposal.
4. Public Facilities. The Development Order shall specify conditions, restrictions and
standards relating to the timely provision of necessary public facilities. In making its
determination regarding such conditions, restrictions and standards, the Commission
may consider the adequacy of existing facilities, the timely provision of adequate
facilities, the impact of the proposed development on existing and/or planned facilities
and the overall cost to the community.
5. Access to Public Thoroughfares. The Development Order shall specify the location
and general design of ingress and egress to the project along with any proposed access
restrictions. The City Commission may impose such access standards and restrictions
as are necessary to protect the integrity and function of the City's thoroughfare system
and to insure the safe and efficient circulation of vehicles and pedestrians within the
TDD district. In making its determination regarding such access standards and
restrictions, the Commission may consider the classification and function of the
thoroughfare system, existing and projected volumes, the condition and design of the
affected thoroughfares, the effect of the proposed development on traffic flow and
circulation patterns and the consistency with the Zephyrhills Comprehensive Plan and
other adopted plans and policies.
6. Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements. Unless specifically modified by the
Development Order, the off-street parking and loading requirements imposed by Article
VII shall apply. Reductions in off-street parking and loading standards may be approved
only if it can be demonstrated that parking demand will be less due to design and/or
occupancy characteristics of the project and/or the availability of public transportation.
7. Sign Requirements. Unless specifically modified by the Development Order, the sign
requirements imposed by Article VIII shall apply. The sign plan shall be approved only if
the general intent of the sign regulations regarding size, location, illumination, structural
integrity and relation to surrounding uses is satisfied.
8. Landscaping and Perimeter Treatment. The Development Order shall specify the
design and arrangement of landscaping on all open space areas in the TDD district, and
on all buffer and perimeter areas provided to mitigate the impact of the project upon
adjoining properties and/or to achieve an appropriate transition between land uses and
densities. The City Commission may impose such standards and requirements for
perimeter treatment it deems necessary to protect adjoining properties from adverse
effects and to achieve an appropriate transition of land uses and densities.

SECTION 7.11.01 GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR TRADITIONAL DEVELOPMENT DISTRICTS
Traditional development, as presented in the Comprehensive Plan revision, encompasses the
following types of land uses. These are illustrated conceptually in Figure 7.11.01.
Section 7.11.01.01 Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of the traditional development
districts is to implement the Traditional Town Development (TTD), the Traditional Marketplace
Development (TMD), and the Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan and to:
1. Encourage mixed-use, compact development that is pedestrian in scale and sensitive to
environmental characteristics of the land, and facilitates the efficient use of services within the
County.
2. Have residences, shopping, employment, and recreational uses located within close proximity
with each other and efficiently organized to provide for the daily needs of the residents.
3. Provide for a range of housing types within pedestrian-oriented, human-scale neighborhoods.
4. Provide efficient circulation systems for pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, and motorists
that serve to functionally and physically integrate the various land use activities.
5. Allow for a strong neighborhood identity and focus.
Section 7.11.01.02 Organization of Traditional Development Standards
These regulations reflect a 'building block' approach to traditional development, with Traditional
Neighborhoods (TNDs) and Traditional Marketplaces (TMDs) as the base districts. The Traditional
Town (TTD) functions as an umbrella district, composed of TNDs, TMDs, and additional land uses
needed to support a larger population, such as a Traditional Employment Center (TEC). A portion of
a TTD also may be used for Planned Development District.
Separate regulations are provided for TNDs and TMDs, in order to allow these districts to be
developed independently of a TTD.
Provisions for Civic and Open Space/Recreation areas are included in the TND provisions. A
"Neighborhood Center" commercial area in a TND is also included to allow for small-scale commercial
uses intended to serve local residents.
To avoid duplication, standards that apply to all traditional development districts, including provisions
for street and sidewalk design, landscaping, parking, and signage, have been grouped together as
"general standards for all traditional development districts".
The overall organization has been structured to follow logically, with general provisions and standards
for all traditional development districts (e.g. uses allowed, street, alley and sidewalk standards by,
parking, lighting, landscaping, fencing and walls, and signage) listed first, followed by specific
provisions for TNDs and TMDs — the building blocks of traditional development — and then the
provisions for TECs and for the development of larger TTDs.

Section 7.11.01.07 Design Objectives. Traditional development districts must be
planned to comply with the following design guidelines.
1. Neighborhoods.
a. A mix of residential uses to provide housing opportunities for residents of
different incomes, ages, family sizes, and lifestyles, including:
Single-family dwellings;
Zero Lot line dwellings;
Town Houses;
Multi-family dwellings;
Accessory dwellings; and
Congregate Living Facilities;
_
� C�=G
i , '
_ .. i i it i� R
ii , ' ',� ' Ohs
Residential neighborhoods include a mixture of housing types from multi family buildings
integrated with commercial and office uses, to single-family detached houses.
b. Centrally-located community focal points for the formal and informal
interaction of neighborhood residents, such as a neighborhood square,
community meeting hall, and a neighborhood commercial center. These
uses are within walking distance (approximately 1/4 mile or a 5 minute
walk) of all residents
c. A variety of open spaces and recreation areas to allow for both passive
and active recreation. Small neighborhood parks and playgrounds should
be located throughout the neighborhood, so all residents are closely
located to a neighborhood park. Large outdoor recreation areas should be
located at the periphery of neighborhoods rather than in central locations.

Centrally located focal points and parks located throughout neighborhoods provide
formal and informal gathering spaces for local residents
d. An interconnected network of streets, bike lanes, and sidewalks
throughout the neighborhood, providing multiple routes for vehicle,
bicycle, and pedestrian travel, diffusing traffic and shortening walking
distances. Streets are designed for slower speeds to encourage
pedestrian safety. Alleys and lanes provide vehicular access to garages
and open spaces in the rear of buildings.

An interconnected street grid disperses traffic throughout the neighborhood, removing
the need for high-capacity thoroughfares, and allowing streets to be designed with
narrower widths for slower speeds and greater pedestrian convenience and safety.

e. A safe and attractive pedestrian environment enhanced by the design of
buildings which provide windows and entrances to reduce the amount of
blank walls and street-level uses. Sidewalks include pedestrian amenities
such as shade trees and street furniture.
2. Commercial districts (Traditional Marketplaces)
a. Public spaces, such as plazas and squares, integrated within commercial
development providing places for people to gather or rest. Walkways
provide pedestrian connections throughout TMDs. Lighting and
landscaping accent public spaces and provide for security and shading.
b. Parking is provided on-street, behind buildings, and in shared parking
lots. Parking lots are not allowed in front of buildings, creating barriers
between pedestrians and storefronts.
c. Buildings are human-scaled in design with a variety of architectural
features which create an attractive and textured streetscape. Building
frontages are set near the sidewalk and building sizes are consistent,
providing a sense of enclosure for the street. Architectural detailing and
applied decoration enliven facades and break down building sizes to
human proportions. Building entrances and windows are located along
street frontages to break up blank walls and improve the pedestrian
experience.
