All site plans shall comply with applicable provisions of this chapter and with each of the following standards.
(A) Natural features.
(1) Existing natural features of the site, including vegetation, topography, water features, and other features, shall be preserved to the greatest extent practical.
(2) Only those areas under actual development shall be disturbed.
(B) Building relationships. Buildings and structures shall be placed in an orderly, non-random fashion so that an un-crowded, open appearance is maintained.
(C) Drives, parking, and circulation.
(1) Vehicular and pedestrian circulation shall be designed so as to provide for safe and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians.
(2) Points of vehicular access to public streets shall be limited to the minimum number required to provide safe and efficient access.
(3) Points of access shall be directly aligned or be offset a minimum of 150 feet, wherever possible.
(D) Surface water drainage.
(1) Special attention shall be given to proper site surface drainage so that removal of surface waters will not adversely affect neighboring properties or the public storm drainage system.
(2) Temporary on-site storage to reduce peak runoff from the site may be required.
(3) Surface water in all paved areas shall be collected at intervals so that it will not obstruct the flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic and will not create standing water in the paved areas.
(E) Special features. Exposed storage areas, trash areas, service areas, truck loading areas, utility buildings and structures, and similar accessory areas shall be reasonably screened from view from adjoining streets, and adjoining properties.
(F) Emergency access. The site plan shall provide for adequate access to the site and to all buildings for emergency vehicles.
(G) Exterior lighting. The lighting shall be located and designed so that illumination is directed away from adjacent properties and streets.
