Abstract

The goal of this research project was to identify how the newly designated Mixed-Use zoning change in the Reno South Virginia Transit Oriented Development, North Section, would affect quality of life for the people who reside there. Through several sources of secondary data collection, key informant interviews, and convenience sampling with a structured questionnaire, I will make every attempt to present an unbiased, and in-depth view of the history of Mixed-Use, the advantages and disadvantages to this zoning type, the government process at the local, county, state, and federal level to initiate this zoning change, and provide solutions to enhance the Quality of Life for those within Mixed-Use and Transit Oriented Development corridors.
