DP1.1 COMMON GUIDELINES

Circulation—Vehicular (cont.) Within a development, the following elements shall be considered in the Site Design: 32. ALL TYPES: For parking ramps (illustr.): a) Where ramps cross sidewalks, provide a maximum five percent (5%) slope for the first 6 m of the ramp b) Provide specialty paving for the first 6 m c) Set parking ramps back from side property lines by a minimum of 1.5 m to allow for a landscaped buffer d) Treat sidewalls of ramps with specialty details and finishing (e.g. sand blasting with a reveal pattern).

33. ALL TYPES: For site loading: a)

Locate surface loading spaces away from public views; screen and pave with specialty materials b) Loading may need to be fully enclosed to reduce acoustical impacts on adjacent resi- dential areas c) Gates may be necessary for closure during non-business hours d) Maneuvering for loading should be provided and accommodated for completely on-site, not on streets. 34. TOWNHOUSES: Screen apron parking that is visible from the public realm. 35. TOWNHOUSES: Use side-by-side parking as the main provision for parking and specifically minimize the use of tandem parking. 36. MULTIPLE/MIXED/COMMERCIAL: For corner store residential units, locate surface resi- dential parking close to the residential entrance for convenience and security. 37. INDUSTRIAL and BUSINESS: Reduce conflicts between heavy vehicles and traffic from visitors and employees. 38. INDUSTRIAL and BUSINESS: Locate movements for heavy vehicles away from residential interfaces, where possible, and incorporate features to mitigate noise, fumes and visual intru- sion; in some cases, an impact study may be required.
