(A) The entire area of the site shall be treated to service the residents of the dwelling units located thereon, and any accessory buildings, uses or services shall be developed solely for the use of residents of the main building. Uses considered herein as accessory uses include: swimming pools, cabanas, pavilions, recreation areas, and other similar uses.
(B) The site plan shall be so planned as to recognize yard and general development relationships with adjacent land uses. The Planning Commission may recommend physical features to be provided which will insure harmony in these relationships.
(C) The site plan shall be so planned as to provide ingress and egress directly onto a major or secondary thoroughfare, except when the Planning Commission finds, upon review of the site plan, that ingress and egress directly onto an adjacent minor street will not be detrimental to the harmonious development of adjacent properties.
(D) Access drives, parking areas and maneuvering lanes shall be so located as to minimize their conflict with buildings and outdoor living areas so as to encourage pedestrian and vehicular safety and convenience. The following requirements shall be considered by the Planning Commission in reviewing the site plan:
(1) Drives, maneuvering lanes and open parking spaces shall be a distance of at least 15 feet from any residential building wall with a window and/or door penetration at the ground floor level.
(2) The required parking spaces shall be well related to the building they are intended to serve.
(E) In order to provide continuity with abutting and/or adjacent public thoroughfares, the Planning Commission may recommend, and the City AV Council may require, dedication of a public right-of- way through the site area prior to site plan approval.
(F) Front building lines found on the balance of the block face shall be respected, except upon discretion of the Planning Commission as based upon the recommendation of the City Planner.
(G) All design and dimensional standards of this chapter shall be complied with.
