Provide pedestrian amenities, such as wide sidewalks, street trees, pedestrian-scale lighting, and street furnishings (benches, trash receptacles, etc.) iii. A Pedestrian-Friendly Environment.

Support and enhance commercial areas that serve the neighborhoods, the City, and the i larger region. j d.

Encourage or require placement of surface parking to the rear or side of buildings, rather than between buildings and the street. I 2. The proposal meets the City's criteria for PUD zoning.
