THE VISION • When developed, the project should make the City proud, and provide a lasting legacy for the land owners. • The project should be a significant landmark, and a gateway to the community. • The project should be pedestrian- friendly, while providing a convenient and safe transportation system. • The project should emphasize green space with an overall landscaping theme. • Stormwater management should emphasize the preservation of existing on -site wetlands and the creation of stormwater infiltration opportunities. • Building design and siting should emphasize quality, aesthetics, clustering and shared parking. SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS The streetscape is shaped primarily by the placement of buildings and parking lots within the project's setting. This section establishes design guidelines for site planning, building massing, and landscaping to control the development patterns within the Lino Lakes Commercial Development. I. STREETSCAPE HIERARCHY The streets within the project play a vital role in shaping the project's identity. The streets serve as entries and gateways to the individual users, provide linkages between the various buildings and establish the development pattern. What are Streetscapes? The term "streetscape" refers to the physical setting shaped by the relationships and design of buildings, parking lots and structures, streets, sidewalks, landscaping and other elements. In addition to buildings, streets and parking lots, other streetscape elements include trees and lighting. The relationship between all of these elements and the quality of their design are what will shape the image and scale of Lino Lakes Commercial Development.
