DEVELOPMENT CONTROLS LAND USE AND VISUAL CHARACTER ARE THE TWO CORNER STONES IN CONTROLLING DEVELOPMENT. COMMUNITY ORIENTED RETAIL AT STREET LEVEL IS A CRITICAL LAND USE DECISION. COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD IS A CRITICAL VISUAL CHARACTER DECISION. THE URBAN DESIGN CODE ASSIGNS A BUILDING TYPE FOR EACH SITE. THE TYPE SUMMARIZES REQUIREMENTS OF USE AND CHARACTER. EACH SITE HAS BEEN STUDIED FOR ITS: USE, HEIGHT, BUILDING PLACEMENT, AND ARTICULATION. THE CODE CLEARLY INFORMS DEVELOPERS WHAT IS PERMITTED. DEVELOPERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE CODE AS A CONDITION OF PURCHASE.
