(1) Design and Location. Off-street parking and loading areas shall be designed and located based on a site-wide plan approved as part of a site plan approval.
(2) Landscaping. In order to soften the appearance of surface parking lots, surface parking lots shall be landscaped with groundcover, grasses, or low shrubs.
(3) Reduction of Required Spaces. The Board of Trustees, pursuant to its authority under Subsection H below, may reduce the number of off-street parking and loading spaces required by § 345-405N and P, based upon a finding that, owing to the combination of uses proposed, adherence to the off-street parking and loading standards would result in the construction of unnecessary off-street parking spaces. This finding must be based on a shared parking/loading analysis completed by the applicant and approved by the Board of Trustees at its discretion as determined during the site plan approval process. Shared parking and loading approvals shall be conditions of site plan approval and will be enforceable on all subsequent owners of property within the PMU site.

(1) Consolidated Site. Projects shall consider all contiguous lots proposed to be included within a proposed development as one site and the site plan shall reflect this integrated design concept.
(2) Streets. Projects shall feature an interior street grid and limit the use of dead-end streets.

(10) Building Composition. Buildings shall be architecturally broken up vertically into a base (first floor only), middle, and top. Likewise, buildings should be broken up architecturally into bays. These sections should be defined by building articulation or change in materials. No solid expanse of wall may exceed 30 feet in length.
(11) Certain Architectural Elements. Architectural elements, such as cornices, belt courses, corbelling, molding, string courses, ornamentation, changes in material or color, and other sculpturing of the base, shall be provided to add special interest.
(12) Vinyl Siding Prohibited. Vinyl siding of any type or grade shall be prohibited on any building facade.
(13) Screening of Parking. Parking structures shall be screened from Boston Post Road and any primary internal roadways with building uses or shall include architectural materials, elements, and treatments that are consistent with the design and quality of the proximate buildings. No vehicles shall be visible from the Boston Post Road or any primary internal roadway, except at the entrances to the structure. Where residential buildings face onto garage facades within 100 feet, garage spandrels facing those residential buildings shall be high enough (at least 30 inches) to block light from car headlights.

A specific palette of street tree, lighting, sidewalk, and furnishing components shall be submitted by an applicant for site plan approval and shall be approved by the Board of Trustees.
(18) Signs. Signs within the SD-PMU District shall be of varied types, sizes, and styles. A consistent approach to signage that favors expressions of tenant identity is encouraged. All signage shall conform to Article 7 (Sign Standards) and shall require a sign permit, per § 345-809.

(1) Checklists Required. Any application for new commercial, mixed-use, or multifamily buildings shall provide a completed Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) checklist, Enterprise Green Communities checklist, Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure (ISI) Envision checklist, or equivalent green project checklist acceptable to the Planning and Economic Development Zoning Administrator.
