​

Pedestrian First Design

• Provide at least one building entrance along the primary building frontage with a direct pedestrian connection to the public sidewalk and doesn’t turn its back to the street.

​

360 Degree Design

• Provide adequate buffer area between the project and the residential uses to the north. Consider noise attenuation methods such as landscaping and trees to screen the parking lot and noise barriers to reduce spillover noise onto neighboring residential properties.

​

Climate Adapted Design

• Consider protecting any existing healthy mature trees in place instead of removing existing trees.

• Plant trees at a minimum ratio of one tree for every four parking spaces and dispersed throughout the parking area in accordance with Landscape Guidelines (Ordinance No. 170,978) Guideline K. All required trees shall have a minimum 15-gallon container size and a minimum caliper of 1 inch at the time of planting or as specified by ASNS (American Standard for Nursery Stock). Trees are to be located in such a manner and be of such a size that the trees are capable of producing an overhead canopy that will shade at least 50 percent of the parking stall area in summer after 10 years' growth.

• Provide larger species of trees that provide shade upon maturity.

• Select native plant species that provide year-long habitat.

• Propose street trees for a pleasant, shaded public realm experience.

• Provide a “No idling/Turn off engine” signage at each vehicular drive thru entrance of the project.
