Neighborhood Edge
OVERVIEW
Ordinance Definition
Botetourt County’s Traditional Neighborhood Development ordinance defines the Edge area(s) of a TND as:

​
The ordinance also sets further parameters for the Edge area(s):

Edge areas shall surround the core area on at least two sides. Edge areas shall include no greater than ninety (90) percent nor less than fifty (50) percent of the total net development area of the TND.”
Permitted uses within an Edge area:

-
All permitted residential and civic uses of the R-1 and R-2 districts.
