14 • Larger parking areas should be planned with internal landscaping, pedestrian sidewalks or walkways and be divided into smaller areas where possible: o Pedestrian walkways provided in larger parking lots should be landscaped, include path lighting, and provide direct access for pedestrians to an entrance of a commercial building; o Walkways should be raised, paved areas or defined paths distinguished by striping or a change in paving provided that pedestrians are kept safe from vehicular travel on the route to an entrance of a commercial building. The senior living parking lot includes landscaped islands and the perimeter along the public road is landscaped and screened with shrubs and trees. The sidewalk along the public road connects to a sidewalk leading to the main building for pedestrian connectivity. Future development of the restaurant and commercial building will require similar connections. • Sidewalks are to be constructed on both sides of Hodgson Road and on the north side of Co. Rd. J to form connections to the trails to the development areas and contribute to the urban form of the area. An 9 8.5 foot wide path is being constructed along the west side of Hodgson Road. A trail and/or sidewalk will be required on the east side of Hodgson Road when that area develops. A trail and/or decorative sidewalk will also be constructed along CR J in conjunction with development of the commercial building. in the first phase of development. Upon development of the commercial building and corner gateway, decorative sidewalk may be incorporated into the design in conjunction with the trail. • Pedestrian circulation should be an important design factor within the development areas to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle circulation among businesses and residential sites. Such circulation routes must be safe and aesthetically pleasing. Safe pedestrian corridors are provided throughout the development between the residential and commercial uses via trails and sidewalks. • Design guidelines must be prepared for any new development project in the area. Developers should submit draft guidelines with development applications. Design guidelines for each project must include attention to previous projects in order to coordinate design throughout the study area. After being refined in collaboration with City staff, design requirements shall be incorporated into the approval of the development. Design Guidelines will be have been prepared with the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat. Overall development shall be is consistent with the Master Plan. As a starting point, the Lyngblomsten site plan shall has been used to establish the building and parking lot setbacks (i.e. the building envelope). Resolution No. 19-42 details the building and parking setbacks. Other parameters that shall be included in the Design Guidelines include:
