2/19/1999 DRAFT C~~PY OF PROPOSED;NSA ORDINANCE 1 portions of the development are occupied only in accordance with a schedule that relates occupancy of such 2 nonresidential portions of the development to the completion of a specified percentage or specified number 3 of phases or sections of the residential portions of the development. The purpose and intent of this provision 4 is to ensure that the approval process for a village mixed use development is not used, intentionally or 5 unintentionally, to create nonresidential uses in areas generally zoned for residential uses except as part of an 6 integrated and well-planned primarily residential development. 7 8 (e) The open space provided within a village mixed use development pursuant to Section 15-198 9 shall include areas known as "village conservancy use areas "and "greens, parks, and squares." 10 11 (1) Conservancy use areas are areas designed to create a visual and physical distinction 12 between the development, the surrounding countryside, and any neighboring 13 developments. 14 15 (2) Greens, parks and squares are spatially defined and distributed open spaces within the 16 village mixed use development designed to serve a variety of outdoor leisure and 17 assembly needs of village residents and to enhance the form and appearance of the 18 development. (3) There shall be a main village green, which shall be centrally located in close proximity to the storefront area as described in subsection (a)(2). Other, smaller greens shall be dispersed throughout the remainder of the village center in such a way that no lot is more than a walking distance of 1,320 feet from a green, square or park. The main village green shall be designed to a pedestrian scale and shall be no less than 30,000 square feet in size, while the other, smaller greens, squares and parks shall be no less than 10,000 square feet in size. (4) Open space areas set aside in accordance with this section may be used to satisfy the forty percent requirement of subsection 15-198(c). If the areas the developer is required to set aside as open space under Section 15-198 together with the areas required to be set aside under this subsection exceed forty percent of the mixed use development, then the board of aldermen shall allow the developer to set aside less than the one or more of the categories of open space otherwise required under Section 15-198 or this subsection so that the developer is not required to preserve as open space more than forty percent of the development tract. (f) Village Mixed Use Developments shall meet the following objectives with regard to land use arrangement and design criteria: (1) Overall Form. a. Open space should be designed to follow the natural features whenever possible and to provide for an agricultural, forest and undeveloped character of the land. b.
