§ 25-309. Design guidelines—External relationship.

RPD districts shall provide protection of the development from potentially adverse surrounding influences, and protection of surrounding areas from potentially adverse influences within the development. In particular, the concept plan shall demonstrate the following features:

(1)

Principal vehicular access points shall be designed to encourage smooth traffic flow with controlled turning movements and minimum hazards to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Left-hand storage and right-hand turn lanes and/or traffic dividers shall be

required where existing or anticipated heavy flows indicate need. In general, minor streets shall not be connected with streets outside the district in such a way as to encourage the use of such minor streets by substantial amounts of through traffic.

(2)

Yards, fences, walls, or vegetative screening at the edges of RPD districts shall be provided where needed to protect residents from undesirable view, lighting, noise, or other off-site influences, or to protect residents of adjoining residential districts from similar adverse influences within the RPD district. In particular, extensive off-street parking areas and service areas for loading and unloading non-passenger vehicles and areas of storage and collection of refuse and garbage shall be screened.
