ORDINANCE NO. NS- 1832 PAGE TWO Further, in order to more clearly define the intent of this district, there shall be on file in the office of the plan- ning department illustrations entitled "Guides to Planned Resi- dential Development." Said illustrations shall be approved by resolution by the planning commission and city council and shall show the desirable arrangement of buildings and open space, but are not designs which must be copied in order to secure approval of development plans as required by the provisions of the Plan- ned Residential Development District. The following contemporary site design standards or principles are designed to provide assistance to the applicant: (a) The overall plan shall be comprehensive, em- bracing land, buildings, landscaping and their interrelationships and shall conform in all respects to all adopted plans of all governmental agencies for the area in which the proposed development is located. (b) The plan shall provide for adequate open space, circulation, off-street parking and pertinent amen- ities. Buildings, structures and facilities in the parcel shall be well integrated, oriented and re- lated to the landscape features of the site. (c) The proposed development shall be compatible with the general plan of land use and with circulation patterns on adjoining properties. It shall not con- stitute a disruptive element to the neighborhood and community. (d) The internal street system shall not be a dominant feature in the overall design, rather it should be designed for the efficient and safe flow of vehicles without creating a disruptive influence on the activity and function of any common areas and facilities. (e) Common areas and recreational facilities shall be located so as to be readily accessible to the occupants of the dwelling units and shall be well related to any common open space provided. (f) Architectural harmony within the development and within the neighborhood and community shall be obtained so far as is practicable. (g) The number of dwelling units shall be as indicated by the base district.
