(1) Protecting and enhancing the value of properties by encouraging the use of good design principles and concepts, as related to the division of property, site planning and individual improvements with full recognition of the significance and effect they have on the proper planning and development of adjacent and nearby properties. The project's site plan has been designed to integrate the project site into the surrounding community. The development's primary access points will be from a right -in, right -out driveway on Redhill Avenue, and from a signalized intersection on Warner Avenue. These access points have been designed to ensure the safety of residents and visitors of the project site, as well as commuters, employees, and residents of the surrounding community. Onsite circulation has been designed to ensure a high -quality pedestrian experience, with wide sidewalks, a central paseo, and plazas and courtyards that buffer or separate pedestrians from onsite vehicular traffic. Moreover, the project has been broken into four primary buildings and two freestanding commercial pads, which reduces the overall massing of the project and creates a more pedestrian -scale village of buildings onsite. The two future roadway connections on the project site will allow the development to become integrated with the adjacent site to the southwest, should an application for redevelopment be approved. (As of the date of this ordinance, no application for redevelopment of the adjacent site to the southwest has been submitted for the City's consideration). (2) Encouraging, securing and maintaining the orderly and harmonious appearance, attractiveness and aesthetic development of structures and grounds in order that the most appropriate use and value thereof be determined and protected. The project's six buildings on the 14.69-acre site are designed in a cohesive manner with unifying materials, floor heights, and articulation using contemporary architecture in an "industrial tech" style. High - quality building materials will ensure long-term durability and maintaining high value of the project, including metal trim, awnings, railing, slats, and cladding; brick veneers and high -quality light sand finish stucco; glass railing; and poured concrete forms. Onsite furniture and details, such as lighting, waste receptacles, benches, tables, and open space areas, have been designed to complement the site's contemporary architecture. High ground -floor window and ceiling heights will contribute to the high -quality commercial component of the project site, which has been designed to create a dynamic, commercial and residential village. These finishes and designs are consistent with Ordinance No. NS-2995 Page 4 of 9
