Common architectural themes shall apply to both commercial and residential areas of the project.

The scale of such nonresidential buildings may be minimized by articulating the building's mass, using sloped roofs instead flat roofs, and/or by planting canopy trees around the building's perimeter. Perimeter buffers may be waived where residential uses within a mixed use P.D. are situated adjacent to similar residential uses located outside the project. Street Network (17) Each mixed use P.D. shall offer alternative routes and connections between destinations within the project, and to appropriate uses on adjacent sites, by designing and constructing a street network that consists of a grid or modified grid pattern and stub -outs or connections to adjacent sites. (18) The project shall contain a network of interconnected streets, sidewalks, and pathways. Streets shall be designed to balance pedestrian and automobile needs, to discourage high automobile speeds, to effectively and efficiently accommodate transit systems, and to distribute and diffuse traffic rather than concentrate it. Sidewalks shall be provided on both sides of project streets. (19) Street trees shall be provided so as to shade sidewalk areas and buffer sidewalk areas from automobile traffic.
