Building separation - The height of the buildings dictates the distance between the buildings to insure privacy and perceived openness for the occupants of the project and the adjacent land uses. Lighting - Lighting is located to provide security and visual interest, but the lighting does riot impact adjacent land uses. Parking The major concern when designing a parking lot is not limited to fitting all the required parking on -site, but also includes providing ample stall and aisle widths, having a useful pedestrian circulation system, providing adequate turning radius, having an efficient traffic movement pattern, maintaining a pleasant appearance, designing convenient parking locations, and integrating the parking with the character of the development. Standards in parking area design to be considered are as follows: Maneuvering areas - All maneuvering requirements can be accomplished entirely on -site.
