The proposed district is based on form based zoning concepts. The form based approach allows for development to occur that will create a specific form. The standards create a predictable public realm by controlling physical form primarily, with lesser focus on land use. Simply, form based creates "what you want" whereas conventional zoning creates a list of land uses, some desirable and some less desirable. The district is comprised of transect areas, rather than "zoning" districts. The transects designate where certain building form standards apply and the transects evolve with the highest densities at the town center progressively getting less dense towards the edge.
The proposed Uptown District would encompass properties along McCulloch Boulevard between Smoketree Avenue and Acoma Boulevard to the east and west and Mesquite Avenue and Swanson Avenue to the north and south. The entire district is shown on the regulating plan below.
