13 o The front façade may have a unique design or more significant glazing. The senior living campus incorporates “four-sided architecture”. All sides of the building include the same quality stone/masonry, metal and composite siding and glass. The building layout was designed to limit blank walls facing the street. The separate wings of the building help to break up the massing as well as transition intensity from west to east on the site. The cottage home front façade includes a front porch, recessed garage, stone base and composite siding. More architectural detail is provided further in the staff report. Detailed site and building plan review will be required upon development of the restaurant and commercial building. • Commercial buildings must incorporate trash and service areas within the buildings rather than utilizing outdoor enclosures. This will conserve land and maximize the potential for outdoor seating and pedestrian friendly amenities. The original architectural site plan indicated a detached 15’ x 20’ x 8’ trash enclosure structure on the south end of the senior building. The plans have been revised and all trash and service areas are now contained in the building. • It is not the intent of this plan to specify housing unit styles. However, garage units must not access directly onto the main access drive or the main public streets through the development. The cottage homes garages access onto a 26 foot wide private drive not the main public street. • The Hodgson/Co Rd J intersection is a gateway and appropriate elements are to be included in the development of the corners of this intersection. Future development of the commercial corner will require these gateway elements. • The interface between new residential and commercial uses should be flexible. For example, new development in central areas can be multi-family, commercial, or mixed use. This would be consistent with the flexible land use lines noted above. Maintaining safety and quality of life are important considerations. The site design transitions from single story cottage homes on the west and north to the 2-story skilled nursing wing with the 3- and 4-story assisted-living and independent living wings closest to Hodgson Road. Intensity of development transitions from low near the existing single family neighborhood to high near the intersection. The senior living complex is also an employment center. • Lighting is to be appropriately scaled to a pedestrian friendly development. Lighting should be directed downward and screened to reduce light pollution, glare, and impacts on adjacent residential areas.
