12 <br /> <br />• Pedestrian circulation should be an important design factor within the development areas <br />to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle circulation among businesses and residential sites. <br />Such circulation routes must be safe and aesthetically pleasing. <br /> <br />Safe pedestrian corridors are provided throughout the development between the residential and <br />commercial uses via trails and sidewalks. <br /> <br />• Design guidelines must be prepared for any new development project in the area. <br />Developers should submit draft guidelines with development applications. Design <br />guidelines for each project must include attention to previous projects in order to <br />coordinate design throughout the study area. After being refined in collaboration with City <br />staff, design requirements shall be incorporated into the approval of the development. <br /> <br />Design Guidelines will be prepared and finalized at the time of PUD Final Plan/Final Plat. <br />Overall development shall be consistent with the Master Plan. As a starting point, the <br />Lyngblomsten site plan shall be used to establish the building and parking lot setbacks (i.e. the <br />building envelope.) <br /> <br />Resolution No. 19-42 details the building and parking setbacks. Other parameters that shall be <br />included in the Design Guidelines include: <br /> <br />• Gateway Elements <br />o The Hodgson/Co Rd J intersection is a gateway and appropriate elements are to <br />be included in the development of the corners of this intersection. Such <br />elements may include: <br /> Community Entrance Sign with City Logo <br /> Promenade with seating, public space, decorative pavers or stamped <br />concrete and extensive landscaping <br /> Public art <br />• Architectural Standards <br />• Building Heights <br />o To the greatest extent possible, building heights shall be tiered from lowest to <br />highest, west to east towards Hodgson Road. <br />• Master Landscape Plan <br />• Master Signage Plan <br /> <br />• Buildings must be designed with “four-sided architecture”, using the same quality <br />materials on all sides. <br /> <br />o All facades shall be articulated with a variety of materials, glazing, awnings, or <br />other details to add visual interest. <br /> <br />o Building design elements should include an expression of a building base (of brick <br />or stone), a middle, and a top with cornice elements at the top of the first floor and <br />the top of the building. <br /> <br />o Roof lines and cornice details shall be completed in a three-dimensional manner so <br />that the features on the back of the roof or similar unfinished areas are not visible
