Nashville Community Character Manual

Nashville just adopted a Community Character Manual as the basis forplanning. It is a transect based place type system. It looks like an important addition to a community planning system, although I think that within neighborhoods we need more nuanced definitions of appropriate heights etc., based on a kind of intra-neighborhood transect--in short, it's ok to build higher by transit, that such doesn't fundamentally change a neighborhood in its entirety although it does change things.
