(4)

Density - Maximum of 16 units per gross acre

(5)

Impervious Surface Ratio - 75 percent maximum

(6)

Maximum Building Height (excluding roof pitch) - 30 feet, and 3 stories

Vehicular Use Areas

a.

Parking - 1 space per 300 square feet required, or 2 spaces per unit, whichever is greater. Residential spaces shall be located within the unit or in rear yard. The use of shared parking spaces shall be encouraged. Public on-street spaces and surrounding private property spaces within 0.25-mile distance of the main building entrance may be credited towards minimum parking requirements upon the submittal of valid legal agreements establishing the shared use between the applicant and property owner.

b.

Public Right-of-Way Access Management - New curb cuts on Highway 22 shall be minimized through the use of internal access roads, inter-connected parking lots and shared drives, among and between adjacent properties.

c.

Parcel Cross-Access - All properties fronting Highway 22 right-of-way shall provide vehicular cross access to adjacent vacant parcels, and wherever possible to developed parcels, by means of connected parking lots, shared driveways, cross access easements, or other interparcel connections. The primary location for cross-access shall be in a continuous front yard parking bay as depicted in Figure 15.562-j.

1.

Stub-outs and other design features shall be provided and installed in a manner that make it visually obvious to those traveling in the public right of way that the abutting properties will be tied in to provide cross access.

2.

Siting of buildings shall take into consideration the relationship of the site to adjacent buildings and internal street systems and driving aisles to promote interconnectivity between adjacent land uses. Separation of buildings by internal streets or driving aisles may be required to promote connectivity and promote pedestrian orientation.

(8)

Pedestrian Mobility - All properties within the sub district shall provide sidewalks which are five feet (5') wide and four inches (4") thick, installed parallel to all public rights-of-way across the entirety of the property frontage and connecting with and to existing sidewalks located on abutting properties. Internal sidewalks shall also be provided linking to buildings entrances. All pedestrian areas shall be designed, constructed and maintained to satisfy American with Disabilities Act (ADA) provisions.

(10)

Landscaping - A minimum landscape buffer measuring 6 feet in width shall be installed and maintained in a neat, trimmed and healthy manner along all public right-of-way. The buffer shall include 1 canopy tree per 40 linear feet of parcel frontage. The remainder of the buffer shall be fully vegetated with a combination of understory trees, woody shrubs, groundcovers, turf and berming to create a visual buffer that is 24 inches in height and 80 percent opaque within 2 years of installation.
