3. The design of the building is of a high quality brick, architectural precast concrete,and
glass,and is compatible with previously approved medical building.
4. Traffic would be improved in the area by eliminating the right-in and out access on
France Avenue.
5. Based on the traffic study done by WSB,the existing roadways can support the
proposed development.Traffic generated by the proposed project would be less than the
approved medical building for the site.
6. 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
linear 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.)
c. Encourage infill/redevelopment opportunities that optimize use of city infrastructure
and that complement area,neighborhood,and/or corridor context and character.
7. The project would be connected to the Fairview Hospital by the second level skyway,
tying the project to the Hospital.
8. Convenient transit service is available for workers and residents;the building would
include sustainable design principles;public art is proposed;affordable housing is
offered;and primary parking would be below grade.
