Parking location: "There are no parking lot location restrictions, except that a 10' buffer of landscaping between
the street and off street parking areas meeting the performance standards of division 38.550 of this division is
required. (Also see division 38.540 of this division for related parking requirements)" Primary parking lot street
frontage is along Iron Horse Rd and is setback from the property line 11'-6" and approximately 26'-6"from
the edge of street.At the area where the parking lot extends closest to Manley Rd,the parking lot corner is
setback at least 10'from the property line and approximately 32'-8"from the street.
Landscaping: "The area between the street and building must be landscaped and/or private porch or patio
space. For setbacks adjacent to buildings with windows, provide low level landscaping that maintains views
between the building and the street.Also provide plant materials that screen any blank walls and add visual
interest at both the pedestrian scale and motorist scale. For extended wall areas, provide for a diversity of plant
materials and textures to maintain visual interest from a pedestrian scale. (Also see division 38.550 of this
division for related landscaping standards)"A large landscape zone has been provided along Manley Rd and
the bike path running though the site. Landscape zones have also been provided between West building
farade and the park lot between the building and Iron Horse Rd.A landscape buffer has been provided
between the parking lot South of the building and the neighboring property, Lot 1,to the South.The
building fa�ade to the North has been pulled in slightly from the setback line to allow low level plantings
to be introduced.
Sidewalkwidth:Where storefront buildings are proposed, sidewalks must meet storefront blockfrontage
standards above. Otherwise, 6' minimum sidewalks are required adjacent to arterial streets and public parks
and 5' minimum width in other areas, except the review authority may require wider sidewalks in special areas
where called for in adopted plans or where significant pedestrian traffic is anticipated.All proposed sidewalks
and pathways are 5'-0" min width.Where parking abuts pathway,20'deep parking stalls with wheels
stops are provided.All sidewalks and pedestrian pathways are held away from proposed building fa�ade
more than 3'-0".
