CRITERIA` Each of the following applicable criteria must be answered "yes" on the ALL DEVELOPMENT: NUMBERED CRITERIA chart and implemented within the develop- ment plan.. Neighborhood Compatibility THE LAND DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM SHALL PROTECT THE CHARACTER OF NEW AND EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS AGAINST INTRUSIVE AND DISRUPTIVE DEVELOPMENT. ANY NEGATIVE OR ADVERSE IMPACTS SHALL BE EFFECTIVELY MITIGATED IN THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN. WHEN TWO ADJACENT PARCELS ARE DEVELOPED SIMULTA- NIOUSLY,-THE—RESP_ONS.IBIILITY FOR MITIGATING CONFLICTS IS UPON THE MORE INTENSE USE. WHEN A USE IS THE FIRST TO DEVELOP ON TWO ADJACENT -VACANT PAR- CELS, THE FIRST USE SHALL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY BUFFER TO ANY REASONABLE FUTURE USE AS DETERMINED BY THE CITY. THE SECOND USE TO DEVELOP SHALL, AT THE TIME IT DEVELOPS, TAKE ALL ADDITIONAL STEPS NECESSARY TO MITIGATE CON- FLICTS. THE CITY WILL DETERMINE COMPATIBILITY OF A PROJECT BASED UPON THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED IN RESPONSE TO THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA DESCRIBED IN loll] THROUGH "4" BELOW: 1. Have all differences between the applicant and the affected neighbor- hood as to the social compatibility of the project been resolved, or have the processes outlined in Administrative Guidelines for "Identify- ing Impacts on Social Compatibility" been followed? -5- continued continued 2. Is the development compatible with and sensitive to the immediate envi- ronment of the site and neighborhood relative to architectural design, scale, bulk and building height, identity and historical character, disposition and orientation of buildings on the lot, and visual integ- rity? 3. Have the conflicts that are presumed to exist between the proposed development. and the surrounding land uses, as examined in "Administra- tive Guidelines" pertaining to "Land Use Conflicts," been effectively mitigated in the planned unit development? 4. Is the project designed so that the additional traffic generated does not have. significant adverse impact on surrounding development? Plans and Policies 5.

If the project contains known areas of natural or geological hazard (e.g., unstable or potentially unstable slopes, faulting, landslides, rockfalls, flood, and wild fire, etc.) or soil conditions unfavorable to urban development, will special engineering precautions be taken to overcome those limitations or have these areas been set aside from development? 13. Does the project preserve significant existing vegetation to the extent practical? 14. If the site contains an area which serves as a habitat, natural food source, nesting place, wintering; or source of water for wildlife iden- tified by the Colorado Division of Wildlife as significant and in par- ticular need of attention, have special precautions been implemented in the plan to prevent the creation. of environmental influences adverse to the preservation of these areas? 15. If -the proposed project is located within a locally -designated Histori- cal District or includes a locally -designated landmark structure, is the project in conformance with the City's Landmark Ordinance? continued d continued 16. If the project includes an area known to contain a commercial mineral -_-,deposit for which extraction is or -will be commercially feasible,, has the project been designed not to preclude extraction? 17. Ecologically sensitive areas (reserved). 18. Lands of agricultural importance (reserved). Environmental Standards 19.. Will the project conform to applicable local state and federal air quality standards, including, but not limited to: odor; dust; fumes or gases which are noxious, toxic or corrosive; suspended solid or liquid particles; or any air contaminant which may obscure an observer's vision? 20. Will, the project conform to applicable local, state and federal water quality standards, including, but not limited to: erosion and sedimen- tation; runoff control; solid wastes; and hazardous substances? 21. Can the proposed land uses and activities be conducted so that noise generated shall not exceed the minimum performance levels as specified in the City's noise control ordinance? The maximum noise dB level allowed will be based upon the land use being proposed rather than the zoning district category for which it is a part. Detailed plans for the elimination of objectionable noises may be required before the issuance of a building permit. 22. If the proposed activity produces intense glare or heat, whether direct or reflected, fs the operation conducted within an enclosed building or with -other -effective screening i-n-such-a manner-as_to_make_s.uch_gl.are_ or heat completely imperceptible from any point along the property line? Detailed plans for the elimination of intense glare or heat may be required before issuance of a building permit. 23. Will the project cause no inherent or recurring generated vibration perceptible without instruments at any point along the property line? Temporary construction is excluded from this criterion. 24. Is the exterior lighting, except for overhead street lighting and warn- ing emergency or traffic signals, installed in such a manner that the light source will be sufficiently obscured to prevent excessive glare on public streets and walkways or into any residential area? The installation or erection of any lighting which may be confused with warning signals, emergency signals or traffic signals shall not be per- mitted. continued — 4 4 am Y continued JOh' �] 25. Will all sewage and industrial wastes be treated and disposed of .in such a manner as to comply with applicable federal, state, and local �] standards?
