When this is not possible, additional landscaping and/or <br />improved building design will be required to improve street-facing facades. <br />Multiple buildings are permitted on one lot, if approved as part of the Master <br />Plan. . <br /> <br />4. Street System. The street system internal to the development site is an <br />e~sential element of the Master Plan. The new system must connect to existing <br />City streets. <br /> <br />5. Pedestrian Circulation/Sidewalks/Trails. A comprehensive pedestrian network <br />is required in. the overall Master Plan for this zoning district. <br />While this zoning district is intended to accommodate larger-scale retail uses, <br />safe pedestrian access is required throughout the zoning district and between <br />the district and adjacent neighborhoods.

The required number of plantings will be site specific <br />and will be determined largely by the total pervious area of a site. <br />Landscaping should be used to soften and shade parking areas, line sidewalks <br />and streets, accent building. entrances, and break up large building facades. <br />Plant selection should focus on functionality and take. into account <br />characteristics such as tolerance of soil compaction, poor drainage, and <br />deicing salts. All landscaping shall he over at least four (4) inches of topsoil, <br />as defined in Section 9.02. and all landscaped areas shall include undergroUnd <br />irrigation systems. . <br /> <br />7.
