Provisions for Approval: <br /> No Binding Site Plans shall be approved unless appropriate provisions are <br /> made for, but not limited to, the public health, safety, and general welfare. <br /> B. Public Use Reservations <br /> 1. Street Right-of-Way Realignment, Dedication of Widening: <br /> If the City concludes that the street right-of-way adjacent to a proposed Binding <br /> Site Plan is inadequate for widening, and realignment of the existing street is <br /> necessary as a direct result of the proposed development, then the City may <br /> require a dedication of necessary right-of-way and improvement of that right-of- <br /> way. <br /> 2. Voluntary Agreements: <br /> Nothing herein shall prohibit voluntary agreements with the City that allow a <br /> payment in lieu of dedication of land or to mitigate a direct impact that has been <br /> identified as a consequence of a Binding Site Plan as authorized by Chapter <br /> 82.02 RCW. <br /> C. Design and Improvement Standards <br /> 1. Design with Environment: <br /> The design and development of Binding Site Plans shall preserve the natural <br /> drainage, existing top soil, trees, natural vegetation, and wetlands to the <br /> maximum extent possible. Information generated through the environmental <br /> review process will be used in designing the development in such a way as to <br /> mitigate potential adverse environmental impacts. <br /> 2. Development with Existing Structures: <br /> In reviewing any project, all existing structures shall comply with the standards <br /> of this Ordinance and Zoning Code requirements. However, if the structures <br /> are nonconforming, the applicant shall bring the project into compliance to the <br /> maximum extent possible. This Ordinance does not allow the applicant to make <br /> a structure more nonconforming. <br /> 3. Site-Specific Energy: <br /> The use of the site-specific energy schemes that best offer opportunities for <br /> maximum use of southern exposures and the use of natural climate conditions <br /> shall be encouraged. <br /> 16 <br />
