b) Adequate usable open space should be provided on the site o� pu�lic per�k/open <br />space should directly adjoin the site. <br />c) The flao� area standard should define the amount of required open space in <br />comparison to the density ofunits. <br />dJ Adequate access to adjoining or nearby (within x/4 mile) retail/se�vice areas <br />should be provided. <br />e) The use of undergroundparking (with adequate safety measures) should be <br />encouraged to reduce the volume of outside parking and separate garages as a <br />means o f improving the general residential character of multiplefamily <br />development. <br />, f} Impacts on adjoining single family areas should be limited by increased side <br />yard setbacks and landseaping; frpnt and rear separation by streets, commercial <br />or industrial development; or parks and open space. <br />g) Higher density development should be required to include such improvements <br />as masonry exterior, higher window and wall insulation packages, underground <br />parking, more usable open space than normally required, porches, landscaping, <br />unde�g�aund parking, and amenities packages within each unit. <br />h) Building design standards should be used which contribute to neighborhood <br />openness, communication, and interaction. <br />i} Design and performance standards should provide adequate height and setback <br />combinations for situations where taller multi family units are proposed as infill <br />projects adjacent to single family areas. Such infill should be limited to medium <br />density (or lower) projects. <br />9. Requirefair housing practices. Disperse types and scale of housing units within the <br />City for all ages, in all stages of the life cycle. Discourage high concentrations of low and <br />modest cost housing in any portion or neighborhood. <br />a) Provide quality, low density rental and owner-occupied residential units, <br />particularly one level. <br />b) Create affordable and/c�Y subsidized congYegate rental units for seniors and <br />others with special needs. <br />c) Consider senior housing in areas with nearby amenities such as shopping, <br />medical, community and church facilities, and volunteer programs. <br />p�'3676 RCA_GeneralConcept_Q&2806.doc Page 7 of 11 <br />
