SECTION 5.10. PARKING AND LOADING

5.10.1. Purpose

The standards are also intended to achieve Town policies of supporting development and redevelopment of transit-oriented development and commercial corridors, accommodating appropriate infill development, and encouraging pedestrian-oriented development while avoiding excessive paved surface areas, promoting low impact development, and safeguarding historic resources.
