priority. Standards in site design to be considered are as
follows:
Site
Setbacks - The buildings are setback from the street and
adjacent property far enough to enhance the appearance of the
project and to protect the users of the project.
Signage - The placement and design of the signage is compatible
with the project and with adjacent land uses.
Security - The project creates a secure physical and
psychological environment both for the site and its occupants.
Buildings are designed to allow surveillance of parking areas to
detect opportunities criminal action.
Walls - Physical separation is used to minimize the impact of
unattractive, noisy areas of the project and to act as a buffer
between the project and adjacent land uses.
Trash and refuse collection areas - Areas which generate noise
or odors are located where they will not disturb adjacent land
uses or the occupants of the project and are not the visual
focal point of a driveway or parking area.
Outside storage - All outside storage areas are screened from
public view and from adjacent land uses.
Adopted by Reso.87 -421 -20-
Open space - Open space is used to reduce the perceived
crowdedness, density, and tightness of the project and as a
buffer to and from adjacent land uses.
Noise impact - Noise emitted from the project will not
interfere with any adjacent land uses. The occupants of the
project are protected from noise outside and within the site,
through screening, setbacks, and building materials.
Pedestrian circulation - A network of convenient and safe
pedestrian paths is provided to connect areas within the project
and the project with adjacent land uses.
Compatibility with adjacent uses - The project is designed so as
to minimize negative impacts on surrounding uses. A gradual
transition between tho project and adjacent land uses is
achieved through setbacks, building height, walls, landscaping,
and window and door plac..ement.
Topography - The natural features of the land, such as
hillsides, viewsheds and other features are utilized in the
design of the site to enhance the project and can avoid problems
associated with floodplains, steep slopes, drainageways and
other natural features.
Project entry - The entrance to the project is easily identified
by walls, planters or signage made of materials compatible with
the project.
Building entry - Entrances are easily identifiable and act as a
transition between the outside and inside areas. Building
entries are also provided with adequate security, but the
lighting does not impact adjacent land uses.
Utility locations - Utilities will be installed underground.

Privacy - Site design anti floor plan layout is organized to
provide privacy for the occupants of the project and the
adjacent land uses.
Fire access - The project meets on -site fire hydrant and on -site
emergency access standards regulated by the fire department.
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. The maneuvering area desigr is
not complex, and is easy to identify and navigate.
Driveway locations - Driveways provide a circulation pattern
which is convenient and safe. Pedestrian traffic is
incorporated into the project design.
Adopted by Reso.87 -421 -22-
Screening walls along right -of -way - All parking areas are
screened from public view with a wall, berm, or a combination of
the two.
Proximity to structures - The parking area is conveniently
located to provide ease of a(:cess to all users.
Amount /number of spaces - The project has a sufficient number of
on -site parking spaces to accommodate all of its needs.
Covered spaces - Covered parking is compatible with the overall
character of the project.
Parking lot lighting - [sighting will provide adequate
