elevations or Design Guidebook. The shall include sample elevations for detached and specific elevations for all other . In lieu of providing detailed elevations for each , the may include a Design Guidebook, created by a qualified architect or urban designer, which outlines the design standards that will be applicable to all within the MUPD including architectural features for all types and identify proposed color palates, materials and typical elevations.
7. Phased MUPDs. If the project will be built in phases, a Phasing Plan is required. The Phasing Plan shall:
a. Demonstrate how the required mix of uses will be provided through phasing, including the approximate locations, amount in square footage of non-residential uses (a size range may be provided), number of residential
units and phasing schedule of each
;
b. Demonstrate how on-
circulation, parking, landscaping and
planting, lighting and other on-
improvements will function, after the completion of each phase and following complete buildout of the
; and
