The project shall be approved under the Planned Development (P.D.) rezoning process. Street Network (3) In order to disperse traffic by offering many alternative routes and connections between destinations within the project and to appropriate uses on adjacent sites, the street network shall consist of a grid or modified grid pattern and shall accommodate vehicular and pedestrian connections to adjacent streets, sidewalks, and to appropriate uses on adjacent sites. (4) No more than ten (10) percent of blocks shall have a block with a perimeter measuring one thousand eight hundred (1,800) feet or more. Within commercial and mixed use areas, no block face dimension shall exceed four hundred (400) feet. Blocks may be defined (divided) by streets or major pedestrian paths. (5) The project shall contain a network of interconnected streets, sidewalks, and pathways. (6) 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. (7) Street trees shall be provided so as to shade sidewalk areas and buffer sidewalk areas from automobile traffic. (8) Streets and adjacent buildings shall be sited and designed to encourage interactions between the street and buildings through the use of amenities such as reduced building setbacks, "build -to" lines, front porches, stoops, rear and side yard parking lot and garage locations, and other means. (9) Projects shall decrease the prominence of front yard driveways, garages, and parking lots through one (1) or more of the following: Mid -block alleys, garages located toward the rear of lots, rear and side loaded garages, garages which are not the predominant architectural feature of the front elevation of buildings, off-street parking at the rear of buildings, and restricted driveway connections to streets. Mixing of Uses (10) The project shall be designed as a compact or clustered development. Projects may include the following mix of uses occurring together in close proximity: • Single-family residential units; • Accessory dwelling units; • Multiple -family residential units; • Commercial and work place uses; • Civic and cultural uses; • Open space. (11) The following ratios shall apply to land uses within the project: (a) Community open spaces open to the public, such as squares, plazas, or parks, shall comprise a minimum of five (5) percent of the total project area. (b) Civic uses, such as post offices, churches, community centers, pavilions, meeting halls, schools, day care centers, and cultural facilities shall comprise a minimum of one (1) percent of the total project area.
