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