After returning to the office, I found these City Policies that reflect what the Applicant is trying to achieve by putting the clubhouse and open space in the center of the project with units facing on to the green. We can also provide 3D graphics to help you visualize how the project will look. Let me know if that would help. Policy LIV 11.1 - Highlight Civic Buildings and Grounds Place civic facilities and grounds (such as community buildings, government offices recreation centers, post offices, libraries, schools, and plazas) in prominent and central locations as highly visible focal points. They should be close to major transit stops. Policy LIV 22.4— Orient Buildings to Public Streets or Spaces Orient residential buildings towards public sidewalks or other public outdoor spaces that connect to streets, the commercial core, and transit stops. Examples of public outdoor spaces include parks. squares. gardens with walkways, and courtyards. Policy LIV 22.5 — Create Visually Interesting Streetscapes All new residential buildings should be designed to emphasize the visually interesting features of the building, as seen from the public street and sidewalk, and to minimize and mitigate the visual impact of garage doors, driveways, and other off-street parking. Policy LIV 22.6 — Enhance Street Design and Image Enhance prominent connecting streets in neighborhoods by forming circles, squares, medians, or other special places to recall history, give identity, and calm traffic. Treelined streets and boulevards with inviting, landscaped walkways, parkways, and medians, will add to the image of these districts as safe and comfortable places to live. Policy LIV 22.7 — Consider Landmarks and Views Consider view corridors to the mountains or other landmarks in the arrangement of streets, Neighborhood Centers and Commercial Districts, and other shared spaces within neighborhoods. Design the view down a residential street to terminate on a visually interesting feature and not directly on a garage door.
