(1) The building site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition with the streetscape and provide for adequate planting and safe pedestrian movement between buildings, sidewalks, and parking areas.

(2) Off-street parking areas (except for single-family detached housing) shall be treated with decorative elements, building wall extensions, plantings, berms or other means to minimize the impact of parked vehicles on the view from public streets and adjacent residential areas.

(3) Fencing plans must be part of the site plan process and, to that end, if fencing is proposed to be part of any development, plans must be submitted to the building official for approval.

(4) The design of fences and screening walls shall give specific consideration to relief from the monotony of long, continuous walls or facades by breaking up major lengths with complementary landscaping.

(5) Walkways shall be provided between street sidewalks and building entries and between buildings on a multiple-building site.

(6) The vertical grade of walkways, parking areas, terraces and any other paved areas should provide an inviting and stable appearance for walking and sitting (if seating is to be provided). (Ord. 1164 § 4, 2004; Ord. 1110 § 3, 2002; Ord. 950, 1996).
