Scale, intensity, and site <br />development characteristics may be determined by: <br /> <br />A. Height of existing or proposed buildings on-site; <br /> <br />B. Quantity of freestanding buildings, facades, and street frontages; <br /> <br />C. Scale of buildings as they relate to pedestrian and vehicular access, <br />surrounding land uses, and transportation corridors; <br /> <br />D.
