Section G: Building Site & Design Standards Site Lighting Sight lighting contributes to the character of the development, minimizes disturbance to housing on the bluff, and provides pedestrian scale lighting in parking lots and other areas. • Lighting along streets, pedestrian walkways, and in plazas are covered in other sections of this document. • Lighting fixtures shall be limited in height and shall be shielded from the sky and adjacent properties and structures, whether through exterior shields or through optics within the fixtures. Direction of the light shall be downward. • Accent lighting should be used to highlight building/site entrances and special landscape features. • Special lighting is encouraged during holidays and festivals, however, no flashing, moving, or traveling lighting will be permitted. Sight Lines Site design on the building parcel will adhere to required sight lines to ensure safe visibility at garage entries and driveway curb cuts. Sustainability Sustainable site design practices are strongly encouraged at Waterfront Place Central. LEED certification equivalent methodology and goals for incorporating green building principles into a project are encouraged. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System® is a voluntary, consensus-based national standard for developing high- performance, sustainable buildings. LEED provides a framework for assessing building performance and meeting sustainability goals. Based on well-founded scientific standards, LEED emphasizes state of the art strategies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental equality: Developers may choose not to pursue LEED rating, while still meeting standards for sustainability consistent with these types of practices. Screening of Service Areas and Mechanical Equipment Visual separation is required between service and mechanical equipment areas, and all other areas of Waterfront Place Central. • Loading Building dock areas shall be visually screened by walls, tall fences, and/or plants. Service and delivery access to buildings will be out of view from pedestrian areas and from nearby residents and businesses to the maximum degree practical. • Trash Enclosures — Trash, garbage and recycling dumpsters at pickup areas will be enclosed by fences or walls and accessed through gates. When not in use, gates will be closed. Views to these enclosures from pedestrian areas and from nearby residents and businesses will be minimized with the use of attractive screening and planting. All garbage bins shall be equipped with rubber lids to reduce noise impacts on adjacent residential and other uses. 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -86-
