Pedestrian-oriented sidewalks and sfree/scapes. <br />Proiects as 0 whole shall incorporale design and <br />development fealures that facilitate pedestrian and <br />bicycle-scale orientation at the slreet level. These <br />fealures include, bulore not limiled to, street trees, <br />improved medians with trees, widened sidewalks, <br />pedestrian-scale lighting, integrated bicycle paths, <br />curbside parkways, and feasible curbside porking to <br />create a slreetscape that accommodates increased <br />and comfortable pedestrian and bicycle use. <br /> <br />5.8 LANDSCAPE BUFFERS <br /> <br />a.

The mix of unit sizes within a project <br />should be more heavily weighted towards units larger than <br />1,000 square feet in size. <br /> <br /> <br />Ordinance No. NS-2740 <br />Page 36 of 86 <br />
