A.
The primary entrance to the building shall be on the front elevation
and the door shall face the street.
B.
Buildings shall be organized in relation to open spaces such as yards
and courts to create a balance of usable open space and efficient
circulation and parking. This standard shall not override the establishment
of an orderly, positive, and urban character of the relationship of
buildings to streets.
C.
All drives, parking and vehicular circulation areas shall be paved
and graded for proper stormwater management. Lots shall utilize concrete
curb and gutter to direct stormwater and protect landscaping. The
use of pervious pavement for stormwater infiltration is highly encouraged.
D.
There shall be a paved pedestrian route from the sidewalk or street
to the main building entrance, and from the parking area to the nearest
building entrance. Buildings with more than one entrance shall provide
a designated pedestrian route between those entrances (e.g., from
front to back). Routes of convenience (e.g., between patio doors and
the parking lot, or around corners) should be anticipated and either
paved for use or obstructed by landscape features to prevent use.
Routes may be paved with a permanent and stable material.
E.
A landscape design, planting, and maintenance plan shall be developed
for all buildings. The plan shall address all parts of the parcel
and shall indicate all planned landscape materials, and their location,
minimum size, quantity, and maintenance requirements. All portions
of the site not covered by buildings, paving material, or other planned
and approved surfaces shall be considered landscaped area and shall
be planted with living plant materials and/or mulches. Native species
and xeriscaping is encouraged.
F.
Pedestrian lighting shall clearly indicate the path of travel, shall
minimize dark spots along that path, and shall utilize coordinated
light fixtures.
G.
The maximum height of wall-mounted parking lot light fixtures shall
be 16 feet above the ground. Pole-mounted fixtures are acceptable
but not required and will have a maximum height of 16 feet from the
ground to the top of the fixture.
H.
Fixtures shall be of full-cut-off (FCO) design to minimize glare
and spillover.
I.
No overhead light source (i.e., the lamp or reflector) shall be visible
from the property line. Shields may be employed, if necessary, to
meet this requirement. The maximum allowable luminance is a twenty-five-foot
radius measured from the light pole.
J.
Service areas, utility meters, and building mechanicals shall not
be located on the street side of the building, nor on a side wall
closer than 10 feet to the street side of the building. Screening
of meters and mechanicals is encouraged, regardless of location. Cable,
conduit and phone lines shall not be visible on the exterior with
the exception of conduit running directly to the meter/utility boxes
at the time of initial occupancy. After occupancy, every effort should
be made to minimize such exterior add-ons. Mailboxes are permitted
within 10 feet of the front of the building if not visible from the
street.
K.
Trash and recycling enclosures shall be provided for multifamily
developments of four or more units. Enclosures shall be of similar
material and color to the buildings and be consolidated wherever possible.
Enclosures shall be entirely enclosed and utilized to minimize visual
impact to surrounding properties.
A.
The project shall be maintained over the life of the development
in a well-maintained condition with an on-going maintenance program.
B.
Multifamily units shall not comprise hotel or motel uses where lodging is offered for compensation of weekly, daily or hourly rental dwelling units. In compliance with WS § 15-1-601(d)(iv) and § 475-6, Continuation of existing uses, of the Pinedale Municipal Code, the provisions of this subsection shall not apply to multifamily units in operation as of November 26, 2007.
C.
For multifamily developments providing for individual ownership of
dwelling units, restrictive covenants must be in place and of public
record requiring shared cost of maintenance of common areas, common
yards, common parking areas, common recreational areas, common landscaping,
and snow and ice removal for common benefit. If there are no such
common areas, such restrictive covenants are not required.
