TRANSECT-BASED ZONING
Definitions. As used in this Subsection, the
following terms shall have the meaning indicated:
A zoning classification system that prescriptively arranges
uses, elements, and environments according to a geographic cross-section
that range across a continuum from rural to urban, with the range
of environments providing the basis for organizing the components
of the constructed world, including buildings, lots, land use, street,
and all other physical elements of the human habitat, with the objective
of creating sustainable communities.
2.
In the event that the Village amends its existing Zoning or
Subdivision Ordinance based on transect-based zoning, and such transect-based
zoning provisions conflict with the zoning provisions adopted by code
or ordinance of another political subdivision with jurisdiction in
such city, town, or village, the transect-based zoning provisions
governing street configuration requirements, including number and
locations of parking spaces, street, drive lane, and cul-de-sac lengths
and widths, turning radii, and improvements within the right-of-way,
shall prevail over any other conflicting or more restrictive zoning
provisions adopted by code or ordinance of the other political subdivision.
