City of Farmers Branch - Station Area Form-Based Code
| Summary: The Station Area Form-Based Code is designed to foster a vibrant town center for Farmers Branch through a lively mix of uses-with shopfronts, sidewalk cafes, and other commercial uses at street level, overlooked by canopy shade trees, upper story residences and offices. The Station Area Form-Based Code is a legal document that regulates land-development by setting careful and coherent controls on building form-while employing more flexible parameters relative to building use and density. This greater emphasis on physical form is intended to produce safe, attractive and enjoyable public spaces (good streets, neighborhoods and parks) complemented with a healthy mix of uses. With proper urban form, a greater integration of building uses is natural and comfortable. The Form-Based Code uses simple and clear graphic prescriptions and parameters for height, siting, and building elements to address the basic necessities for forming good public space. |
