1. All buildings within a multi-building complex should achieve a unity of design through the use of similar architectural elements, such as roof form, exterior building materials, colors, and window pattern.

2. Individual buildings should incorporate similar design elements, such as surface materials, color, roof treatment, windows and doors, on all sides of the building to achieve a unity of design.

1. Where a perimeter landscape area required under LUC 20.20.520.F may be relocated under Note (1) of that section, some or all of the relocated area should be used to provide a landscaped courtyard. Any relocated landscape area should be visible from the public street. The courtyard should be protected from wind on two sides and in sun during part of the day. Seating shall be provided.

2. Parking areas should be designed to minimize conflicts between pedestrian and vehicular movements. Parking area landscaping should be used to define and separate parking, access, and pedestrian areas within parking lots.

3. The landscape design for the site should include plantings which emphasize the major points of pedestrian and vehicular access to the site.

4. Site features such as fences, walls, refuse and recycle enclosures, and light fixtures should be designed to be consistent with the scale and architectural design of the primary structure(s). Such site features should be designed and located to contribute to the pedestrian environment of the site development.

5. Loading areas should not be located between the building and the street unless there is no alternative location possible. Loading areas, if located between the building and the street, should be oriented away from the street and screened to minimize views of the loading area from the street and sidewalk. Loading areas should not be located on the side of a building which faces toward a residential use.

6. In multiple-building complexes, buildings should be located to facilitate safe and comfortable pedestrian movement between buildings. On sites which are adjacent to other properties within the Community Retail Design District, building location should be chosen to facilitate pedestrian and vehicular connections to buildings on those adjacent properties.

7. In locations and districts specifically described in the Comprehensive Plan Urban Design Element Figure UD.1, consideration should be given to locating buildings closer to the public street with entrances to the buildings from the public sidewalk, with no intervening parking or driving area. Corner locations are particularly appropriate for this treatment.

8. Opportunities should be found for safe, convenient, and pleasant pedestrian connections to existing transit facilities. Where needed, shelters and lay-bys for transit vehicles should be incorporated into the site development. (Ord. 6366, 8-7-17, § 11; Ord. 4972, 3-3-97, § 11; Ord. 4816, 11-27-95, § 110)
