Jackson Zoning Ordinance § 709.01-A
in effectNeighborhood Size: A TND District consists of an area of not less than 25 contiguous
acres on a greenfield site or a re-development site which is to be substantially cleared.
Existing neighborhoods of sixteen blocks or larger with grid pattern streets may use the
TND Zoning District when appropriate areas can be found to the required public spaces.

distance equal to a 5 to 10-minute walk at an easy pace. If the greenfield area to be
developed is larger than optimal size, it shall be broken down into more than one TND
