<br /> <br />2. Encourage neighborhood interaction programs including community policing, <br />neighborhood watches, and maintenance associations.

Convert unused/underused commercial lands to residential uses. For example, in <br />underused strip centers, encourage redevelopment with multi-family housing uses. <br /> <br />5. Ident~fy evolving neighborhoods that are least resistant to change. Consider redeveloping <br />entire neighborhoods to meet current and future needs.

When approving a residential Planned Unit Development, require better quality with <br />established criteria for open space, a "sense of place", and quality materials. <br /> <br />8. Encourage the development of well designed multiple family dwelling projects which are <br />compatible with adjacent uses. The following criteria should be considered when <br />reviewing proposals for multiple family dwelling construction within the City: <br /> <br />a. Structures should have access to at least one collector level street so that traffic <br />generated by the complex will not exceed environmental and traffic thresholds of <br />minor residential streets described in the Transportation Plan. <br /> <br />b. Adequate usable open space should be provided on the site or public park/open space <br />should directly adjoin the site. <br /> <br />c. The floor area standard should define the amount of required open space in <br />comparison to the density of units. <br /> <br />d. Adequate access to adjoining or nearby (within 14 mile) retail/service areas should be <br />provided. <br /> <br />e. The use of underground parking (with adequate safety measures) should be <br />encouraged to reduce the volume of outside parking and separate garages as a means <br />of improving the general residential character of multiple family developments. <br /> <br />Final Version <br /> <br />10 <br /> <br />July 26, 2004 <br />
