In order to ensure that the future design, layout, and character of the Town's mixed-use districts is cohesive and consistent with their purpose and intent, the following objectives shall be observed by all proposed development:
A. Provision of an internal roadway system and shared internal access drives to development sites that limit or eliminate direct access for motor vehicle traffic to Route 20A and Lima Road.
B. Development of an internal roadway system that provides for the safe and efficient travel of pedestrians and cyclists as well as motorists. Said roadway system should include sidewalk connections, crosswalks, transit stops, and bicycle accommodations where appropriate.
C. Promotion of a mix of compatible and complementary uses throughout the district in order to create a sustainable destination and activity center that can adapt to a changing marketplace (e.g., commercial development with integrated or upper-story residential units).
D. Promotion of a cohesive and interconnected development pattern throughout all mixed-use districts, regardless of the sequence of proposals or project phasing.
E. Utilization of landscaped buffers for development located along major thoroughfares and adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods.
F. Preservation and enhancement of established and generally recognized Genesee Valley viewsheds.
G. Preservation and integration of existing open space not only as natural buffer areas, but also as passive and active recreation opportunities for surrounding uses and the general public.
H. Application of the Gateway Overlay District Design Standards to achieve the most appropriate and visually appealing building and site design that enhances the Town's community character.
