The Plan and Zoning Ordinance require pedestrian friendly road design. <br />2. The Plan requires connectivity of road and pedestrian networks. <br />3. The Plan and the Code require and encourage the preservation of natural areas and <br />the satisfaction of best management practices for storm water management. <br />• 4. The Plan anticipates and the zoning code requires in core development areas, mixed <br />use neighborhoods including mix of housing type and a mixture of businesses and <br />houses, and provides for a reduction of front and side yard building setbacks. <br />Approved by Council <br />December 7, 2009 <br />" L <br />Cle f City Council <br />• <br />
