§ 38-1343. Development guidelines; general.

(a)

A nonresidential development shall be developed or redeveloped as a single, unified and integrated project pursuant to the CVC guidelines and standards in this division and the guidelines and standards for the particular CVC. A disjointed, fragmented, and uncoordinated development which is physically or functionally separated from a single, unified and integrated project, such as development on an outparcel, shall be prohibited. It shall be determined whether a proposed development constitutes a single, unified and integrated project at the time of development plan review or at the time of review of any amendment thereto. This determination shall be made based primarily upon the following criteria:

(1)

Building location and massing to emphasize a pedestrian scale, such as a village street.

(2)

Vehicular access shall be interconnected between parcels within the project and at common median breaks on the major roadways within the CVC.

(3)

Architectural features emphasizing a strong relationship to the pedestrian circulation system.

A project shall maintain architectural compatibility in order to cause the project to be unified and integrated, but such shall not require architectural uniformity.

(b)

Redevelopment subsequent to initial development pursuant to the CVC guidelines and standards and the guidelines and standards for the particular CVC shall, to the greatest extent practicable, be consistent and compatible with the CVC guidelines and standards and the guidelines and standards for the particular CVC.

(c)

Any other private, public or semi-public use complementary to, and compatible with, planned nonresidential development in a CVC may be permitted if designated on an approved development plan.
