3. In order to disperse traffic by offering many alternative routes and connections between <br />destinations within the project and to appropriate uses on adjacent sites, the street <br />network shall consist of a grid or modified grid pattern and shall accommodate <br />connections to appropriate uses on adjacent sites. <br />4. Not more than 10% of blocks shall have a block with a perimeter measuring more than <br />1,800 feet. Within commercial and mixed use areas, no block face dimension should <br />exceed 400 feet. <br />5. The project shall contain a network of interconnected streets, sidewalks, and pathways. <br />6. Streets shall be designed to balance pedestrian and automobile needs, to discourage high <br />automobile speeds, to effectively and efficiently accommodate transit systems, and to <br />distribute and diffuse traffic rather than concentrate it. <br />7. Street trees shall be provided so as to shade sidewalk areas and buffer sidewalk areas <br />from automobile traffic. <br />8. Streets and adjacent buildings shall be sited and designed to encourage interactions <br />between the street and buildings through the use of amenities such as reduced building <br />setbacks, "build -to" lines, front porches, stoops, rear and side yard parking lot locations, <br />and other means. <br />9. Projects shall decrease the prominence of front yard driveways, garages, and parking lots <br />through one or more of the following: mid -block alleys, garages located toward the rear <br />of lots, rear and side loaded garages, garages which are not the predominant architectural <br />feature of the front elevation of buildings off-street parking at the rear of buildings, <br />restricted driveway connections to streets, and traffic calming techniques. <br />Mixing of Uses <br />10. The project shall be designed as a compact or clustered development. Projects may <br />include the following mix of uses occurring together in close proximity: <br />• single-family residential, <br />• accessory dwelling units, <br />• multiple -family residential, <br />• commercial and work place, <br />• civic and cultural, and <br />• open space. <br />11. The following ratios shall apply to land uses within the project: <br />Future Land Use Element 173 <br />
