Attachment A <br />Hotel, Motel and Multi Family Design Review Criteria <br />Please respond to how the project complies with the following criteria: <br />1. SITE PLANNING. <br />a. Building siting, architecture, and landscaping shall be integrated into and blend harmoniously with the <br />neighborhood building scale, natural environment, and development characteristics as envisioned in the <br />Comprehensive Plan. For instance, a multi family development's design need not be harmoniously integrated with <br />adjacent single family structures if that existing single family use is designated as "Commercial" or "High- Density <br />Residential" in the Comprehensive Plan. However, a "Low- Density Residential" (detached single family) <br />designation would require such harmonious design integration. <br />b. Natural features, which contribute to desirable neighborhood character, shall be preserved to the maximum <br />extent possible. Natural features include, but are not limited to, existing significant trees and stands of trees, <br />wetlands, streams, and significant topographic features. <br />c. The site plan shall use landscaping and building shapes to form an aesthetically pleasing and pedestrian scale <br />streetscape. This shall include, but not be limited to facilitating pedestrian travel along the street, using <br />architecture and landscaping to provide a desirable transition from streetscape to the building, and providing an <br />integrated linkage from pedestrian and vehicular facilities to building entries. <br />�1 <br />d. Pedestrian and vehicular entries shall provide a high quality visual focus using building siting, shapes and <br />landscaping. Such a feature establishes a physical transition between the project and public areas, and <br />establishes the initial sense of high quality development. <br />e. Vehicular circulation design shall minimize driveway intersections with the street. <br />17 <br />
