r - BOOK 08 PAGE 567 11 h. 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 locations, and other means. Note: The conceptual plan uses all of the above referenced items to encourage interaction. Front porches are required for all single detached homes. i. Projects shall decrease the prominence of front yard driveways, garages, and parking lots through one 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, restricted driveway connections to streets, and traffic calming techniques. Note: The only garages allowed on the front of homes are side loaded. Front loaded garages will be recessed behind the front line of non -garage building area. Many units will have vehicular access from a rear service lane. In the commercial/office areas, buildings will front streets that have on -street parking, streetscapes, and sidewalks; parking lots are generally located behind the buildings. j.

Projects may include the following mix of uses occurring together in close proximity: • single-family residential, • accessory dwelling units, • multiple -family residential, • commercial and work place, • civic and cultural, and • open space. Note: The proposed development contains all of these uses. Uses are mixed and located in close proximity to each other, and are integrated together. k.
