<br />Ordinance No. NS-XXX <br />Page 40 of 49 <br />78. Traffic-Calming: A set of techniques which serves to reduce the speed of traffic. <br />Such strategies include lane-narrowing, on-street parking, chicanes, yield points, <br />sidewalk bulge-outs, speed bumps, surface variations, mid-block deflections, and <br />visual clues. Traffic calming is a retrofit technique unnecessary when <br />thoroughfares are correctly designed for the appropriate speed at initial <br />construction. <br /> <br />79. Transect: A system of classification deploying the conceptual range of ‘rural-to- <br />urban’ to arrange in useful order, the typical context groupings of natural and urban <br />areas. This gradient, when rationalized and subdivided into zones becomes the <br />basis of the Regulating Plan and the 9 zones supporting this Plan. <br /> <br />80. Transit-Oriented Development: A remedial pattern within a loose urbanized area. <br />Its structure creates nodes at an efficient spacing for commuter or light rail. These <br />nodes are mixed-use areas limited in extent by walking distance to the transit stop. <br />These nodes are usually surrounded by a residential hinterland, structured as <br />neighborhood T.O.D.’s connected by a feeder bus system. <br /> <br />81. Transition Line: A horizontal line, the full width of a facade expressed by a material <br />change or by a continuous horizontal articulation such as a cornice or a balcony. <br /> <br />82. Tuck-under Housing: See 'Building Types' <br /> <br />83. Zaguan: A covered pedestrian passage between courts of one to two rooms in <br />depth and one story in height.” <br /> <br />Section 13.
