Sec. 4.10.5. - NEX- District Standards

A.

Primary Internal Street

1.

A continuous primary internal street must be established in any NEX- District. The street must connect to Roswell Road.

a.

C-Street Where the development site faces only Roswell Road, the primary internal street must connect with Roswell Road at a minimum of 2 points, providing a loop road servicing the entire development. Additional, or side streets may be necessary depending on whether they meet the block face lengths found in Sec. 10.3.1.

b.

L/T-Street Where the development site faces multiple streets including Roswell Road, the primary internal street must connect through the site from Roswell Road to the intersecting street or streets. At least 1 street connection to Roswell Road must be considered as a part of the primary internal street. Additional, or side streets may be necessary depending on whether they meet the block face lengths found in Sec. 10.3.1.

2.

The ground floor of a multi-unit building facing a primary or internal primary street must be constructed to be commercial-ready (See Sec. 6.6.2 E).

B.

Phasing of Residential Construction Where construction occurs in phases, each phase that includes multi-unit residential development must meet the following standards.

1.

Each phase must maintain or exceed the required percentage of single unit residential required for the amount of multi-unit residential proposed.

2.

Certificates of occupancy for any multi-unit residential may only be issued after the issuance of certificates of occupancy of the required percentage of single unit residential associated with the multi-unit residential.

3.

No additional height associated with an affordable housing bonus is allowed prior to the construction of the necessary affordable housing units required to receive the bonus.

C.

Structured Parking

1.

Structured parking must not be visible from any streets of the development.

2.

No multi-unit building over 3 stories in height may be served by surface parking only. The Director may allow a split between surface and structured parking after consideration of the impact on stormwater management and availability of project open space.
