Planter Beds/Boxes/Tree Grates <br />• Planter beds, tree grates and planters shall be as shown on the Streetscape Master Plan. Details <br />and specification shall be added to Appendix A as developed and approved by the City. <br />Appendix A shall be amended as needed. <br />• Irrigation shall be provided to ensure survival of plant materials. The City shall provide <br />irrigation systems along the Parkway and Destination streets. Unless otherwise approved, all <br />other irrigation shall be the responsibility of the landowner. <br />Street Furniture <br />Bike racks, trash enclosures and benches are encouraged on all streets, but will be required on <br />Destination, Connector and Parkways and other streets as shown conceptually on the Streetscape <br />Master Plan. <br />Bike racks shall be the standard bike rack (see Appendix A for specifications). <br />Trash enclosures shall be the standard trash enclosures (see Appendix A for specifications). <br />Benches shall be the standard bench (See Appendix A for specifications). <br />Benches shall be grouped in twos that face each other and provide an <br />opportunity for an outdoor conversation space. <br />Alternative bike rack, trash enclosures and bench designs will be considered <br />on a case -by -case basis. The City will review alternative designs as part of <br />the site plan review and will evaluate these alternatives based on the <br />following: <br />• Does the design maintain the character of the district? <br />• Does the alternative design maintain the quality of the standard <br />feature? <br />• Does the design provide a relationship between the public elements <br />of the streetscape and the building that would not otherwise be <br />possible? <br />Sidewalks and Boulevard <br />In the design framework, the term "boulevard" is defined as "the space between the sidewalk and the <br />curb." The boulevard area provides the required space for public features such as street lights, benches, <br />fire hydrants, street signs, etc. The boulevard will have different characteristics based on the street <br />hierarchy. <br />The street width and layout within different zones may affect the ability of a particular development to <br />provide the minimum boulevard width and the minimum sidewalk width within the existing public right- <br />of-way. In those cases, the landowner shall provide a permanent public easement over the portion of <br />the sidewalk that is located on private property. <br />Design Framework — The COR Page 14 <br />February 28, 2012 <br />
