Based on developer's prior projects to the south, which include high architectural <br />standards and emphasis on environmental preservation and restoration, this appears <br />to be an ideal partnership for the City. <br />2. High Architectural and landscaping standards should be established particularly along <br />Centerville Road and gateway area. <br />3. Landscaping at gateway <br />4. Public recreational opportunities should be provided, passive or active. <br />5. Supports commercial development along the entryway <br />6. No issue with the inclusion of studio apartments provided number is capped. <br />7. No need to require a specific affordability component to development. <br />8. Restoration of natural areas should be incorporated into project <br />9.
