A comprehensive landscaping <br />and tree preservation plan shall be completed. The plan shall include <br />planting designs and schedules for parks, public spaces, residential <br />development, commercial/ industrial development, and rights-of-way. <br /> <br />F. Amenities in the Right-of-way. The City may require such amenities <br />as street lighting, sidewalks, landscaping, and other features located in the <br />right-of-way, including medians and boulevards, to be privately managed <br />and maintained by a homeowner’s association, business improvement <br />district, or other similar entity. <br /> <br />G. TCAAP Property Entrance and Exit Design Enhancements. Each <br />primary vehicular access point to the TCAAP property shall be designed <br />with a gateway feature, consisting of a combination of signage, <br />landscaping, lighting and public art, designed to create an attractive and <br />identifiable entrance and to enhance the property's overall image and <br />appearance. Such designs shall include the following elements: <br /> <br />1. Gateway signage comprised of such materials as brick, stone and <br />metal with landscaping around the sign. The signs shall include <br />exterior architectural-style lighting. <br /> <br />2. Enhanced landscaping near the entrance points that include trees, <br />shrubs and flowering plants. Landscape materials shall be grouped <br />around gateway signs to create a visual focal point oriented to the main <br />entrance. <br /> <br />3. Pedestrian-scale ornamental street lights. <br /> <br />4. Public art or architectural elements that evoke the natural <br />environment and history of the TCAAP site. Such elements may be <br />integrated into gateway signage and lighting. <br /> <br />5. Gateway designs must demonstrate compatibility with any public <br />improvements, amenities, or design elements established by the City. <br />Such elements include, but are not limited to, lighting, signage, <br />fencing, pavement materials, landscape materials and street furniture. <br /> <br />6. Properties adjacent to the access points shall be designed so that <br />parking lots, trucking bays, and mechanical equipment are properly <br />screened from the access point. <br /> <br />DRAFT: 6/3/2010 <br />Page 40 of 50
