The primary intent of the Town Center District is <br />to create a focal point in the community that embodies the principles of transit-oriented <br />and mixed-use development. The Town Center District envisions a distinctly different <br />development pattern, with a more urban structure of streets and blocks, than the suburban <br />and rural patterns that have shaped the community to date.
