quality development in the Village of Bellevue that reflects the goals
set forth in the Village of Bellevue Comprehensive Plan, while allowing
flexibility in the design process. The comprehensive plan recommends
better integration of diverse land uses and transportation modes through
improved standards for site planning and design, including standards
for building and parking placement, pedestrian connections, signage,
and landscape improvements.
