Uses similar to, or related to, those listed in subsection (A) of this section are permitted upon a finding of the community development director and the site plan review committee that a particular unlisted use does not conflict with the intent of this chapter or the policies of the comprehensive plan.

The criteria for such finding of similarity shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

It shall be the responsibility of the operator and/or the proprietor of any permitted use to provide such evidence and technical data as the enforcing officer may require to demonstrate that the use or activity is or will be in compliance with the environmental performance standards of Chapter 20.57 CMC.

Failure of the enforcing officer to require such information shall not be construed as relieving the operator and/or the proprietor from compliance with the environmental performance standards of this title.

Architectural Character and Materials.

Entrance and Visual Access. The intent in this district is to encourage pedestrian activity between the public street/sidewalk and buildings. Sidewalks shall provide continuous, uninterrupted interest to the pedestrian by providing visual interest or amenities. The environment will benefit with increased pedestrian activity; this activity will only occur if opportunities are provided that make walking to a destination a preferred and an enjoyable pursuit. The use of blank building facade walls is discouraged.

Minimum First Floor Glass. The first floor elevation of a building facing a street shall not have less than forty percent glass surfaces. All first floor glass shall be nonreflective. Display windows that are three-dimensional and are at least two feet deep are permitted and may be counted toward the forty percent glass requirement.

Provide at least one operable building entrance that faces a public street. Buildings that face multiple streets are only required to have one door on either street if the facades for both streets meet the forty percent glass requirement.

Sidewalks and street lamps installed in the public right-of-way shall be of the type specified in the city's design and development standards. All parking lot lights shall match the city's standards.

Pedestrian amenities such as park benches will be required.

Public art (which may include artists' work integrated into the design of the building, and landscaping, sculpture, painting, murals, glass, mixed media, or work by artisans) that is accessible or directly viewable to the general public shall be included in all projects.

All residential projects shall have open space.

Safe and efficient pedestrian circulation shall be a priority.

Natural light and ventilation shall be provided in each individual dwelling unit as well as common areas such as hallways.

Each dwelling unit shall contain a bathroom and kitchen area.

In existing buildings being converted to residential housing through either an alteration, remodel, or conversion, a minimum of twenty-five percent of the entire building square footage shall be used for commercial purposes or as common space for tenants.
