In <br />limited areas, the JDA may grant flexibility on these requirements in accordance with <br />MPCA guidelines. <br /> <br />(b) Permeable ground area shall be on-site within the parcel limits of the development. <br />(c) Up to 100% of Private Common Open Space may count towards the permeable ground <br />area requirements if the materials and ground cover for the Private Common Open <br />Space meets the standards of permeability. <br />(d) Street screening for parking lots that utilize vegetative screening may count towards the <br />permeable ground area requirements. <br />(e) Permeable materials include: <br />i. Any natural vegetation or landscaping that allows direct water infiltration <br />ii. Permeable paving materials designed and engineered to allow direct water <br />infiltration. Any new material not listed in any best practice guides for permeable <br />paving will be evaluated and considered by Community Development Staff and may <br />be approved by the JDA. Permeable paving materials shall not count towards more <br />than twenty percent (20%) of the total permeable area requirements. <br />iii. Any material that requires a sheet flow and collection system for water infiltration <br />shall not be considered permeable cover. <br />(f) Design and placement: <br />ii. In the Neighborhood, Flex Office or Campus Commercial Zones, any yard or buffer <br />space on site shall be designed in context with the primary building(s) and shall not <br />block views or ingress/egress access to the buildings. <br /> <br />The Applicant has not submitted information regarding total permeable or impervious surfaces <br />for the proposed development. The Applicant will be required to submit details regarding all <br />permeable surfaces and calculations that show that the standards established in the TRC are <br />being met. <br /> <br />9.5 Open Space Classification <br />For the purposes of this Code, all open space shall fall into one of the following three major <br />classes: <br />(b) Private Common Open Space: A privately owned outdoor or unenclosed area, located on <br />the ground or on a terrace, deck, porch, or roof, designed and accessible for outdoor <br />gathering, recreation, and/or landscaping and intended for use by the residents, <br />employees, and/or visitors to the development. This may or may not be accessible to the <br />public, but shall be maintained privately. <br />(c) Private Personal Open Space: A privately owned outdoor or unenclosed area, located on <br />the ground or on a balcony, deck, porch, or terrace and intended solely for use by the <br />individual residents of a condominium or multi-family dwelling unit.
