In considering the appropriateness of development within the HOFV District, the Commission (and Council) shall consider the following:
(a) That the proposed use, density and intensity of development and design are compatible with the 2016 Canton Comprehensive Plan, specifically the recommendations for the Hall of Fame Village.
(b) That the proposed use, density and intensity of development and design are compatible with the existing character of the area and adjacent properties.
(c) That all development exhibits a high standard of quality in construction detail materials, design, and appearance. That development reflects accepted professional standards of design, site and building.
(d) That quality site planning is an essential criterion of the HOFV District. Sites developed in the HOFV District are intended to be carefully planned, both within the site's own boundaries and in relation to surrounding properties.
(e) That all development is sensitive to environmentally regulated areas within the HOFV District and that effort is made to retain and integrate significant natural features into the development proposal wherever possible.
(Ord. 147-2018. Passed 7-2-18.)
Development proposals within the HOFV District will be reviewed for appearance and compatibility with surrounding areas. The following are general guidelines:
(a) Development should be of a mixed use nature and pedestrian friendly. Modern architectural design will be considered when appropriate.
(b) Relationships to land uses in abutting zones and adjacent developments within the zone (compatibility) are important considerations that will be critically reviewed by the Commission (and Council). Concerns in this regard will include buffers (vegetative and architectural), building scale/massing/configuration/height, light spill, emissions (noise), use intensity/frequency, and signage.
(c) Building height, size, and scale shall be considered as part of the overall design and should be designed in such a way that is compatible with the general area, even if the buildings are taller than those of the surrounding properties.
(Ord. 147-2018. Passed 7-2-18.)
