§ 6.205. Design criteria and development standards.

A.

Design criteria. The planned residential development shall observe the following design criteria:

1.

The overall plan shall be comprehensive, embracing the land, buildings, landscape and their interrelationships and shall conform in all respects to all adopted plans of all governmental agencies for the area in which the proposed development is located.

2.

The plan shall provide open space, circulation, off-street parking, and pertinent amenities. Buildings, structures and facilities in the parcel shall be well integrated, oriented and related to the topographic and natural landscape features of the site.

3.

The proposed development shall be compatible with existing and planned land use, and with circulation patterns on adjoining properties. It shall not constitute a disruptive element to the neighborhood and community.

4.

The internal street system shall not be a dominant feature in the overall design, rather it should be designed for the efficient and safe flow of vehicles without creating a disruptive influence on the activity and function of any common areas and facilities.

5.

Common areas and recreation areas shall be so located so as to be readily accessible to the occupants of the dwelling units and shall be well related to any common open spaces provided.

6.

Architectural harmony within the development and within the neighborhood and community shall be obtained so far as practicable.
