Development standards are intended to promote site planning and design which will ensure that new land divisions and development will:
- Provide adequate flexibility to allow development which is compatible with the existing area, fits the topography of the site and allows architectural diversity.
- Provide adequate assurance of compatibility of adjacent uses within the mixed use context, and compatibility between mixed use development and adjoining existing uses.
- Comply with the Transportation Planning Rule and Regional Land Use and Transportation Goals.
