aspects of design should be examined to determine whether the proposed development will
provide a desirable environment for its occupants as well as for its neighbors , and whether
aesthetically, the composition , materials, textures and colors meet the intent of this article.
The design review board shall consider the following criteria in reviewing the application:
1. Site Desig n Objectives: The site plan design shall minimize impact of traffic on adjacent
streets, provide for the pedestrian , and provide appropriate, safe parking lot design.
a. The functional relationship of the structures and the site in relation to its surroundings;
b. The impact and effect of the site development plan on traffic conditions on contiguous
streets and adjoining properties or neighborhoods;
c. The site layout with respect to separation or integration of vehicular, pedestrian andbicycle traffic patterns;
The arrangement and adequacy of off street parking facilities relative to access points

f. The access , parking lot, and interior roadway illumination plans and hours of operation;
g. The required driver, pedestrian and bicycle sight distance requirements of the project

h. The coordination of the site development with planned right of way alignments
acquisitions and street improvements;
i. The graphic delineation of traffic circulation patterns to avoid confusion , congestion and
conflicts;
j. The continued maintenance of traffic, parking and lighting systems;
k. The protection of views and vistas in relation to urban design and aesthetic
considerations; and
I. The provision of safe pedestrian and bicycle connections between neighborhoods and

clutter and confusion on and off the site, and shall be in compliance with section 2A-
this article and the current edition of the uniform sign code adopted by the city. The design
review board shall consider:
