      11.   Review Criteria For Preliminary And Final Site Plans:
         (a)   Development Intensity: The proposed development shall have an intensity consistent with the surrounding land uses and zoning. Intensity of a proposed development shall be used in determining compliance with the requirements of the Illinois Route 336 corridor plan or this Code and in determining the character of the proposed development. Net intensities of a portion of an existing development shall not be used as a precedent for higher intensities in surrounding areas. To ensure that a precedent is not set, net intensities of any portion of a district shall be compatible with other portions of the district and surrounding districts.
         (b)   Internal/External Relationship:
            (1)   Orientation: The orientation of the development shall generally be toward internal streets and pedestrian systems and away from adjacent local streets and adjacent residential land uses. (Ord. 2008-2, 5-27-2008)
