a. A system of corner and mid-block crossings shall be provided to functionally connect on-site pedestrian paths across the bisecting right-of-way within the proposed project limit;

b. Pedestrian paths shall be provided to connect all buildings and right-of-way crossings located within the proposed project limit;

c. Visual connections shall be provided between all buildings located within the project limit by minimizing topographic variation and through use of vegetation and outdoor spaces; and

d. Only a right-of-way meeting the requirements of LUC 20.25P.060.B.2.c may be included in the land area located within the proposed project limit for the purpose of computing maximum FAR.
