The primary purpose of the Town Center District is to create a mixed-use, walkable, livable, and attractive development center providing access to employment opportunities and transportation options. Specifically, the Town Center District is intended to:
A.
Support the economic revitalization of underutilized and obsolete industrial or commercial properties—particularly within the former Naval Air Station-Joint Reserve Base Willow Grove ("Base")—by encouraging redevelopment aligned with the goals and recommendations of the township comprehensive plan and the Final Preferred Land Use plan, adopted by the Horsham Land Redevelopment Authority on March 21, 2012.
B.
Promote a compact, walkable, and multimodal community by encouraging pedestrian-oriented buildings, interconnected sidewalks, and site designs that support walking, bicycling, and transit use while maintaining efficient vehicular movement and reducing reliance on individual automobile travel.
C.
Foster a vibrant sense of place and community through the creation of well-designed public and private gathering spaces.
D.
Encourage shared parking arrangements between compatible uses on adjacent or nearby lots to reduce curb cuts, enhance pedestrian connectivity, and improve the efficiency of parking distribution within the Town Center district and surrounding areas.
E.
Promote economic development and community vitality by supporting a diverse mix of residential, commercial, cultural, and institutional uses, along with the development of varied and affordable housing options.
F.
Enhance the community's character and visual appeal through high-quality urban design that ensures new development complements and improves the existing streetscape.
