The landscape plan shall include details for the landscaped areas required in the approved large scale master plan for the development pod. Landscape plan approval is a condition precedent to issuance of a building permit for the project property. All landscaping shall be in place prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for a structure, unless seasonal conditions make installation unfeasible, in which case the applicant shall provide cash security or its approved alternative for all landscaping, which landscaping shall be installed by the following June 30th.

1. Recreational Amenities. The applicant shall improve a minimum of fifteen percent of the project site as functional outdoor and/or indoor recreational amenity areas for residents of the development.

Improved, common recreational amenities shall be located and designed to be accessible to all residential units due to proximity and via connecting walkways.

2. Required Landscaping and Recreational Amenities. Residential developments shall include a minimum of twenty-five percent of the project site as landscaping and recreational amenity areas combined. The applicant shall professionally landscape the project property, in accordance with an approved landscape plan. The landscape plan shall include details for the landscaped and recreational amenity areas required in the approved large scale master plan for the development pod. Landscape plan approval is a condition precedent to issuance of a building permit for the project property. All landscaping shall be in place prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for a structure, unless seasonal conditions make installation unfeasible, in which case the applicant shall provide cash security or its approved alternative for all landscaping, which landscaping shall be installed by the following June 30th.

D. Architectural Standards. All new development must present an attractive streetscape, incorporate architectural and site design elements appropriate to a pedestrian scale, and provide for the safety and convenience of pedestrians. All new development shall comply with the following architectural standards:

1. Reserved.

2. Building Orientation and Scale. Residential buildings shall be oriented and scaled as follows:

c. Buildings shall be designed to minimize pedestrian and automobile conflict and provide pedestrians direct access to a sidewalk or walkway.

d. Building planes shall incorporate varying heights, shifts, textures, shapes and colors to provide visual interest from public vantage points. Building plane shifts include recessed entrances or windows, balconies, cornices, columns, and other similar architectural features. The architectural feature must be either recessed or project a minimum of twenty-four inches.

e. Building design and orientation should consider exposure to sunlight to avoid energy inefficiencies.

3. Proximity. Minimum separation between all habitable structures shall be as follows provided all building code requirements are met: ten feet between one-, two- and three-story structures; and twenty feet between four-story structures and above. The building separation between structures of different heights shall be the distance required by the higher structure.

Not less than fifteen percent of all other building elevations shall be made up of window, balcony, or door areas unless an adjacent building within twenty feet of that building elevation obscures the majority of that elevation from public view. The community development director may allow for a reduction to the minimum opening requirement if the applicant can demonstrate the building floor plan cannot effectively accommodate the requirement and other architectural elements are used to create a visually interesting facade.

e. Protruding Features. Except as prohibited above, bay windows and other architectural elements protruding from the facades may be clad in other materials.
