mixed use center or traditional neighborhood development (THD). <br />7) For the purposes of procedural streamlining and to better focus the <br />appropriate locations of uses, c.o.n.sider. restricting the types and numbers <br />of allowable conditional uses. For those uses with performance <br />standards, make them a limited use whereby they are administratively <br />permitted subject to written standards. <br />8) Consider amending Amend the ordinance to include bufferyard <br />provisions for ensuring improved compatibility between adjacent areas <br />of different character. The bufferyards must vary according to the <br />intensity of abutting development, with a range of options (including <br />combinations of buffer width, plant density, earthen berms, and fencing) <br />to meet a specified standard of opacity. This would provide adequate <br />buggering of adjacent uses as well as street corridors. The existing <br />provisions only specify a 25 foot buffer between multi -family and single <br />family residential developments without any specification as to the type <br />of density of landscaping. <br />9) Consider establishing FstU, !i3" a minimum open space ratio (OSR) within <br />residential development and landscape surface ration (LSR) within <br />nonresidential development. The ratios will vary according to the <br />character of the district. These areas will provide visual buffering and <br />shade, accommodate recreational amenities, and provide needed space <br />for stormwater detention. <br />Below details potential future character districts that could be implemented <br />if the Citv transitions to a character -based approach to Dlannin <br />
