5. The proposal is similar to the Phoenix Plaza PUD District with the same zoning restrictions
and standards.
6. Traffic would be improved in the area with a right-in only access on France Avenue, the
elimination of the curb cut nearest the intersection and narrowing the curb cut further to the
west.
7. There would be an increase in area between the building and the curb of France Avenue (28
feet) in an effort to meet the goals of the Greater Southdale Area Study.
8. The proposed project would meet the following goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan:
a. Building Placement and Design. Where appropriate,building facades should form a
consistent street wall that helps to define the street and enhance the pedestrian
environment. On existing auto-oriented development sites,encourage placement of liner
buildings close to the street to encourage pedestrian movement.
• Locate prominent buildings to visually define corners and screen parking lots.
■ Locate building entries and storefronts to face the primary street,in addition to any
entries oriented towards parking areas.
■ Encourage storefront design of mixed-use buildings at ground floor level,with
windows and doors along at least 50% of the front facade.
■ Encourage or require placement of surface parking to the rear or side of buildings,
rather than between buildings and the street.
b. Movement Patterns.
■ Provide sidewalks along primary streets and connections to adjacent neighborhoods
along secondary streets or walkways.
■ Limit driveway access from primary streets while encouraging access from secondary
streets.
■ Provide pedestrian amenities,such as wide sidewalks,street trees,pedestrian-scale
lighting,and street furnishings (benches, trash receptacles, etc.)
■ A Pedestrian-Friendly Environment. hnproving the auto-oriented design pattern
discussed above under"Issues' will call for guidelines that change the relationship
between parking,pedestrian movement and building placement.
c. Encourage infill/redevelopment opportunities that optimize use of city infrastructure and
that complement area,neighborhood,and/or corridor context and character.
