  • Transparency: In retail buildings along publicly accessible frontages, 40 to 60 percent of ground-floor wall areas shall be transparent.
  • Building Facades: Building design shall avoid large flat wall areas unbroken by protections, recesses, or other architectural features. Entrances shall be appropriately scaled and easy to find.
  • Outdoor Storage and Mechanical Equipment: Any permitted outdoor storage or mechanical equipment shall be fully screened from view from areas accessible to the general public, as well as from the representative viewpoints shown in Figure 4.A-1.
  • Parking: Podium or structured parking shall be wrapped with active uses at ground level and not exposed to the street. As part of the approval of specific plan(s) for development within the Project Site, the City shall first make the finding that the design standards and guidelines contained in the specific plan set forth, at a minimum, these standards.

As part of the approval of all subsequent site-specific development within the Project Site, the approving body for such development shall first make the finding that the site-specific development being reviewed meets the standards and guidelines set forth in the applicable specific plan implementing the requirements of this mitigation measure.

  • Limit light spill across the property lines, such that illumination at the property line of any use within the Project Site that is attributable to the subject property does not exceed 0.1 foot-candles on business properties and 0.05 foot-candles on residential properties and open space areas. Onsite lighting of site-specific development within the Project Site shall result in zero direct-beam illumination leaving the site.

Applicants for specific plan(s) shall include development requirements incorporating the performance standards set forth in Mitigation Measure 4.A-4a.

Applicants for site-specific development shall design their projects in compliance with the performance standards set forth in Mitigation Measure 4.A-4a.
