The following development standards apply to all Multi-Family Residential Districts:

A. All uses, are subject to Site Plan review.

B. OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS.

1. Recreational open space is that portion of a project site not divided into individual lots and made available to residents for the purpose of outdoor living space for residents and may include lawn areas, walkways, sitting areas, courtyards, pools, and outdoor recreation facilities. Buildings, structures, or other impervious surfaces devoted to recreation or common open space uses shall be considered as open space. This space shall be the central focus of the project and must be easily accessible by the occupants. Driveways, parking areas, and required yard areas shall not be considered as outdoor living area.

2. Private outdoor open space is that portion of the unit devoted to outdoor recreational use by the individual resident(s) of the unit or lot. This area is provided in addition to the recreational open space. Private outdoor space shall be provided in the form of private yards, patios, or balconies. The minimum length and the minimum width of patios and balconies shall be six (6) feet.

3. Required yards and landscaping setback areas fronting onto public streets shall be entirely landscaped except for necessary driveways and walkways. Parking is not permitted within the required setback area, including driveway area.

4. No more than fifty (50) percent of the required front yard landscaped area or any other street frontage area may be used for storm water retention purposes. Side slopes of basins shall not exceed a 6:1 slope. The maximum side slope ratio shall be 4:1 ratio.

C. RELATIONSHIP OF PROJECT TO SURROUNDING LAND USES. The relationship between a multi-family, manufactured/mobile home or recreational vehicle park project and adjacent land uses shall take into account the type of adjacent uses, building scale, density, and building heights. Particular sensitivity shall be displayed to the relationship between a multi-family project and adjacent residential uses of lesser density to minimize the impact on those less dense areas.

1. Individual design situations may dictate additional conditions or considerations to minimize the impact of a multi-family, manufactured/mobile home or recreational vehicle park development on adjacent residential uses through the imposition of one or more of the following design considerations:

a. use of one (1) story buildings;

b. additional landscaping to serve as buffer area;

c. wider setbacks from property line;

d. modify orientation of buildings;

e. modify the orientation of windows and balconies;

f. provide screen walls

2. Common recreation facilities in a project shall be located to minimize the intrusion of noise on adjacent residential areas.

3. Pedestrian and visual linkages shall be made between a project and off-site amenities.

4. The project shall be designed to minimize negative traffic impacts on the surrounding uses. (Am. Ord. 20-1476, passed 9-28-20)
