This section carries forward the regulations in Part E (Town Center Code) of the current Zoning Ordinance other than procedural
provisions (addressed in Module 1) and use standards (which are carried forward in Article 4: Use Standards). A number of the
development standards currently specific to one or more Town Center districts may be proposed to be applied town-wide in
Article 5: Development Standards, to be drafted as part of Module 3. Where development standards in Article 5 are the same or
similar to standards in this section, this section will be revised to delete such standards or to revise them to read as modifications of
the generally applicable development standards in Article 5.
