Appendix 750. Traditional Neighborhood District (TND).
General provisions.
750.1 Purpose. The intent and purpose of the Traditional Neighborhood District (TND) is to encourage the development and redevelopment of compact, attractive, and walkable mixed use neighborhoods consistent with the design principles of Traditional Neighborhood Design. This involves connecting a range of activities in a cohesive pedestrian friendly environment.
The TND allows flexible development for Greenfield or infill sites that will incorporate and encourage protection of natural resources and open space. The TND also allows more dense development therefore, reducing some of the need to travel by automobile. Traditional Neighborhood Development fosters efficient use of land and infrastructure such as roads, water, sewer and other utilities. The Traditional Neighborhood District encourages a variety of housing types and styles that will provide accommodations for a range of ages, family sizes and income levels.
750.2 Applicability. The Traditional Neighborhood District is intended for Greenfield or infill projects that are served or will be served by adequate infrastructure.
To be considered for Traditional Neighborhood District (TND) zoning designation, a project must meet the following requirements:
1.
For Greenfield development the site must contain a minimum of twenty (20) acres.
2.
For infill development the site must contain a minimum of two (2) acres.
3.
An application for rezoning must be filed jointly by all property owners.
4.
The site must have adequate access to public water and sewer facilities.
750.3. Principles of the Traditional Neighborhood District.
• Compact Design. An identifiable neighborhood, community center and edges are an essential part of TND. Neighborhoods should be compact enough to encourage development of pedestrian scale with easily connected destinations. Features in the neighborhood should be safe, attractive and easily negotiated by both the pedestrian and the automobile.
• Mixed use. A diverse mix of activities (residences, shops, schools, workplaces and parks, etc.) occur in close proximity to one another. Many activities of daily living should occur within walking distance, allowing independence to those who do not drive and addition to the vitality of the neighborhood.
• Architectural Standards. Dimensional and material configurations create distinct and unique places through the use of structural forms. Using forms and cohesive styles help to create outdoor rooms and add to the quality of the built environment.
• Landscape Standards. Landscaping standards provide appropriate planting species, materials and patterns to unify the outdoor public areas.
• Connectivity. Streets and roads function as a connected network, dispersing traffic and offering a variety of pedestrian and vehicular routes to any destination while connecting and integrating the neighborhood with surrounding communities and when applicable alternative transportation methods are encouraged.
• Open Space. Open spaces, greens and parks should be accessible and convenient to all who live in the community. Significant cultural and environmental features are incorporated into the design of the development for the use, benefit, and enjoyment of the entire community. A range of parks, from small children's parks and village greens to ballfields and community gardens should be encouraged throughout the neighborhood(s).
• Cultural Elements. Specific cultural and environmental features of a site may influence the way a site is developed. Developments with a clear "sense of place" require careful design and consideration of context.
750.4. Administrative procedures. The TND promotes flexible land use patterns and densities, but also requires a higher standard for land planning, architectural and landscaping design compared to other zoning districts in Horry County. An initial conference shall be required prior to a request for rezoning to a TND. This conference is held to review the applicant(s) intended proposal and to discuss procedures for submitting documents. Following the pre-application conference a preliminary plan may be submitted for review by the Planning Department, after which a final plan may be submitted to be acted upon by the Horry County Planning Commission and County Council.

(D)
Street Hierarchy. Each street within a TND shall be classified according to the following (arterial streets should not bisect a TND):
1.
Collector. This street provides access to commercial or mixed-use buildings, but it is also part of the neighborhood's major street network. On-street parking, whether diagonal or parallel, helps to slow traffic. Additional parking is provided in lots to the side or rear of buildings. Design speed is thirty (30) mph.
2.
Subcollector. This street provides primary access to individual residential properties and connects streets of lower and higher function. Design speed is twenty-five (25) mph.
3.
Local Street. This street provides primary access to individual residential properties. Traffic volumes are relatively low, with a design speed of twenty (20) mph.
4.
Alley. These streets are fundamentally "driveways" that provide secondary access to residential properties where street frontages are narrow. Alley may provide limited on-street parking where streets are designed with narrow widths, or where alley access development is desired to increase residential densities. Alleys may also provide delivery access or alternate parking access to commercial properties. Alleyways may be privately or publicly owned and maintained.

Street Cross-Section
5.
Street Layout. May follow a grid or may be curvilinear in design. In addition:
a)
Intersections shall be at right angles whenever possible, but in no case less than seventy-five (75) degrees. Low volume streets may form three-way intersections creating an inherent right-of-way assignment (the through street receives precedence), which significantly reduces accidents without the use of traffic controls.
b)
Corner radius. The roadway edge at street intersections shall be rounded by a tangential arc with a maximum radius of fifteen (15) feet for local streets and twenty (20) feet for intersections involving collector or arterial streets. A tangential arc with a maximum radius of ten (10) feet shall round the intersection of a local street and an access lane or alley.
c)
Curb cuts for driveways to individual residential lots shall be prohibited along Subcollector streets. Curb cuts shall be limited to intersections with other streets or access drives to parking areas for commercial, civic or multi-family residential uses. Clear sight triangles shall be maintained at intersections, as specified below, unless controlled by traffic signals.
Intersection of: Minimum clear sight distance: Local Street and collector 120 feet Collector and collector 130 feet Collector and arterial 50 feet d)
The orientation of streets should enhance the visual impact of common open spaces and prominent buildings, and minimize street gradients. All streets shall terminate at other streets or at public land, except local streets may terminate in Sub Street when such streets act as connections to future phases of the development. Local streets may terminate other than at other street or public land where there is a connection to the pedestrian and bicycle path network at the terminus.
6.
Parking requirements. Parking areas for shared or community use should be encouraged. In addition:
a)
In the mixed-use area, any parking lot shall be located at the rear or side of a building. If located at the side, screening shall be provided as specified in the landscape section of the TND ordinance.

In the neighborhood center area, a commercial use must provide one (1) parking space for every three hundred fifty (350) square feet of gross building area.
e)
Shared parking is encouraged.
f)
Parking shall be accessed by a rear alley or lane, when such are available on the community plan.
g)
On street parking available along the frontage lines that correspond to each lot shall be counted toward the parking requirement of the building on the lot.
h)
Parking provided in garages may count toward meeting parking requirements.
i)
A parking lot or garage may not be adjacent to or opposite a street intersection.
j)
See Landscape and Screening Standards Table 1 "Parking Buffer" for appropriate parking lot screening.
k)
If bike lanes are provided parking lots or garages must provide no less than one (1) bicycle parking space for every ten (10) motor vehicle parking spaces.

10.
Land designated as open space or public use lots shall remain as such in perpetuity.
750.9. Stormwater Management. The design and development of the TND should minimize off-site stormwater runoff, promote on-site filtration, and minimize the discharge of pollutants to ground and surface water. Natural topography and existing land cover should be maintained and protected to the maximum extent practicable.
(A)
Redevelopment stormwater management systems should improve existing conditions to the extent practicable.
(B)
Low Impact Design (LID) is encouraged.
750.10. Architectural Standards.
(A)
General Requirements. A variety of architectural features and building materials are encouraged to give each building or group of buildings a distinct character.
1.
As a general rule, buildings must reflect continuity between building scale and front yard setbacks at the building line.
2.
A building must incorporate architectural styles and design features, building materials, and colors complimentary to those used in surrounding buildings. Buildings should maintain base courses, similar cornice lines in buildings of the same height, and extend horizontal lines of windows.

Landscaping and buffer requirements. To promote a continuous and unified theme, improve the appearance of structures, and provide protection to adjacent properties from the negative impacts of more intense development, the following standards shall apply.
(B)
Existing mature trees, particularly historic and protected trees shall be retained. Removal of protected and specimen trees as defined by section 527 of the Horry County [Zoning] Code of Ordinances is strictly prohibited prior to the submission of regulation tree survey. Selective clearing shall be permitted upon submission of a tree protection plan if approved by the Zoning Administrator or his/her designee. See Table 3 Protected and Specimen Trees in section 527.4 of the Zoning Ordinance.
(C)
Landscaping shall be distributed around the foundation of all structure perimeters visible from any public right-of-way, according to the formula and standards below:
Calculation of required landscaping:
PR = L or W/3.0
Where: PR = number of plants required
L or W = building length or width, in feet, visible from any public right-of-way
(D)
For each canopy or understory tree that is provided to meet the foundation landscaping requirements the total number of required foundation plants may be reduced by five (5) plants.
(E)
Required plant materials shall be located in a planting area adjacent to the building foundation. If the proposed building is to be accessed by vehicles through service doors and such doors are visible from a public right-of-way, the plant materials required for that length or width shall be exempted from these provisions.
(F)
Acceptable plant species, maintenance standards, and sizes to meet the above requirements are listed in Table 2: Plant Selection List.
(G)
A streetscape buffer shall be provided on the street-fronting perimeter of all parcels. The buffer width shall be a minimum of ten (10) feet measured inward from the right-of-way and improved to the standards for streetscape buffers listed Table 1. Especially in cases where any commercial property being developed abuts a single-family residential property, a buffer intended to spatially differentiate contrasting uses should be utilized to mitigate the transition from all levels of commercial development to residential development.
(H)
No fence, berm, or landscape material shall be designed or located in a manner that obstructs the vision of vehicular traffic at street and/or driveway intersections. When a new residential development is created adjacent to or abutting to an existing non-residential zoned property within the corridor, it is the responsibility of that new residential development to meet the buffer requirements and improvement standards listed in the Table 1 below.
1.
Angled parking layouts, etc., at its discretion. Permitted uses within the required streetscape buffer include driveway access, transit oriented uses including bus stops and shelters, pedestrian and bike paths, lighting fixtures, signs, benches and other streetscape furniture.
2.
All required planting areas shall be mechanically irrigated, except in the case where indigenous drought resistant plans are utilized. This shall include all tree islands and all areas of required frontage landscaping between the parking lot and public streets. Required planting areas associated with parking lots containing less than thirty (30) parking spaces are not required to be irrigated. However, an exterior water source (such as a hose bib) shall be located within one hundred (100) feet of all required planting areas. If the project area is required to be irrigated, include the following statement on the Site and Landscaping Plan, "All planting areas shall be mechanically irrigated." and/or, provide an irrigation plan.
3.
Maintenance shall consist of mowing, removal of litter and dead plant materials, necessary pruning, and maintenance of screens in Conformance with the surrounding area. Natural watercourses within a buffer shall be maintained as free flowing and free of debris. Stream channels shall be maintained so as to act alter floodplain areas. It shall be unlawful to deviate from an approved landscape plan unless otherwise permitted by the Zoning Administrator or designee.

The Planning and Zoning Department may, at its discretion, approve alternate species not included on the approved plant list if the property owner submits a letter from a registered landscape architect, horticulturist, botanist, or plant nursery operator stating that the growing conditions in the County favor the healthy growth and maintenance of that species. The Planning and Zoning Department may also require landscaping to be installed in locations left empty from the parking layout, such as corner islands associated with
TABLE: 1 BUFFER DESIGN GUIDELINES
Buffer Type Application Design specifications Streetscape
BufferFronting perimeter of all lots This buffer is intended to soften the transition from the street side to the remainder of the property as well as provide a sense of separation between the street and property use. Streetscape buffers are required for all uses adjacent referenced street corridors. All uses that require site plan approval shall preserve, maintain or install a vegetated/planted buffer that abuts the perimeter of the property. This should include a minimum of one (1) canopy tree for every forty (40) linear feet of buffer area or two (2) understory trees for every forty (40) linear feet of buffer area. Plantings of deciduous and evergreen trees shall be a minimum (2.5 inch) caliper and ten (10) feet in height at the time of planting and shall obtain a height at maturity of at least twenty (20) feet. Canopy Large trees shall be spaced no wider than forty (40) feet at the time of planting. At least twenty-five (25) percent of the required trees shall be evergreen species. Streetscape trees should be chosen from "Streetside and Walkways" group in the Tree Selection Guide in Table 4. Streetscape buffers are required for all properties having primary frontage along any level of roadway. Additional parking facility screening may be required if parking is located along the frontage. Parking
BufferAll parking/paving perimeters Parking areas shall be buffered from all corridors. Buffering may be accomplished through the retention of vegetation in the required buffer area or through the placement of a berm not less than one (1) three-foot in height and planted with a stabilizing ground cover, or placement of plants or shrubs that are a minimum of eighteen (18) inches at the time of planting and no greater than six (6) feet apart. Notes: All required buffers shall be improved in the following manner:
a)
Be planted with materials capable of survival in the environment in which they are installed with minimal maintenance; and
b)
Complement the structure, through color and foliage cover, for which they are planted around; and
c)
Acceptable plant species, maintenance standards and sizes to meet the above requirements are listed in Table 4: Landscape Tree Selection guide and Table 5: Plant Selection Guide.
d)
Provide visual direction, through plant heights, to entrances or other access features to the site; and
e)
Be planted in a manner that will not impede traffic safety by blocking or otherwise obstructing traffic signals, signs, or other devices.
f)
When a natural, undisturbed buffer is retained along the perimeter of the TND, sides and rear of a renovated or newly developed property, a waiver of the required perimeter landscaping may be granted. Granting such waiver shall be determined by the Zoning Administrator or designee upon review of a site plan identifying the vegetation retained in the buffers. In no instance, shall a waiver be granted if the plants retained in the buffers are not equal, in number not plant type, to those required by buffer design guidelines.
