1.3 The overall design of the center should result in apedestrian-friendly <br />activity place, as opposed to a more suburban, auto-dominated shopping <br />center. The center should establish the quality design style for the <br />_ community as a whole, accentuating human-scale design through <br />building architecture and orientation. <br />Generally, buildings along Valley Avenue should be located such <br />- that the ntajori[y of their frontage faces directly onto the public <br />street. <br />_- ~ The majority of parking spaces along Valley Avenue shall be <br />located [o the side or rear of the buildings. <br />Provide street trees along driveways, drive aisles and pedestrian <br />connections. <br />Building heights should be ==._~ stories adjacent to the Village <br />-- Cotrunons and should be stepped-back to provide a street front <br />compatible with the residential uses across the street. Elsewhere, <br />building heights shall be a maximum of four (4) stories. <br />1.4 The center shall coordinate its design to maximize its integration with the <br />Village Commons special-use park to mark the entry to the area, define <br />- the neighborhood, create a central activity place, and slow through <br />traffic. <br />1.5 The residential area adjoining the Village Commons (Parcel 10) should <br />be designed with higher densities to create a compact community <br />environment that encourages walking for work and many commercial <br />trips. <br />Commercial/Office Policy 2: Phase I Commercial/Office Center <br />Commercial Development Potential (Parcels 6 and 7). Allow up to 750,000 <br />square feet of building space in a mix of retail, eonunercial, office and <br />community-serving uses. <br />GUIDELINES: <br />2.l The Center should include neighborhood-serving retail/service uses. <br />Community retail uses may also be permitted; a service station is <br />encouraged.
