A.
Purpose. The purpose of the Form Based Code is to increase the
range of options for development in select "Form Districts" within
Buda while still preserving the character and appearance of Buda by
regulating the form of the development.
B.
Intent. The intent and purpose of the Form Based Code is to
enable, encourage and qualify the implementation of the following
policies:
1.
Encourage a mix of commercial, residential and office uses to
lessen the tax burden on residential property owners;
2.
Transition between higher intensity development and traditional
residential neighborhoods;
3.
Increase pedestrian and bicycle linkages;
4.
Preserve and enhance Buda’s unique, small town character;
and
5.
Minimize impact of development within sensitive environmental
areas.
The Buda 2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies key Mixed Use Nodes
where mixed use developments are appropriate and encouraged. Three
Mixed Use Nodes were selected for location of multiple Form Districts:
The 1626/967 Community Node, the Downtown Node and the Green Meadows/Old
Goforth Neighborhood Node.

Section A — Parkway Boulevard (F1, F3, F4). Parkways are
multi-lane roadways with well-landscaped medians and sidewalks that
provide recreational paths. They move vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians
through the City. These streets function not only as transportation
corridors connecting one part of the City to the others, but also
as linear green spaces with multi-use trails, shade, seating, open
space, and stormwater management.

B.
Section B — Community Boulevard (F3, F4). Community Boulevards
are balanced, multi-purpose streets. They are a central spine of the
larger street network for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians, and
therefore should be located in areas that enhance the existing street
system and give it clarity and coherence. In designing boulevards,
care must be taken to ensure that all components of the boulevard
are working together in a coherent whole. Boulevards are especially
appropriate where there is a need to carry both slow, local traffic
and fast, through-moving traffic.

activity, Promenade Streets should have generous sidewalks, consistent
shade, pedestrian amenities, formal design treatments, and provide
short term parking for shoppers and visitors.

to a high quality of life for residents of Buda. Typically, they are
not more than two travel lanes (one in each direction) and are not
intended for through-traffic. Parking can be accommodated on either
side of the street, and will act to slow down traffic as drivers will
need to yield to pass. The design of Residential Streets focuses on
encouraging slow speeds.

Multiplex (F3, F3H, F4, F4H, F5). A multiplex would typically
take the form of a 3-plex or 4-plex, but would functionally look like
a large single-family home. These are sometimes nicknamed a "houseplex."
These are often seen in historic areas where a large house/mansion
is broken up internally and remodeled to have 2-4 living units.
