(Ord. 857 § 2, 2008; Ord. 1013 § 2, 2020)

• A. Except as otherwise specified in regulations with this document, development of the PD-6 zone shall be in accordance with existing city standards as contained in Brentwood Municipal Code Chapters 17.200 through 17.300.

• B. Lot sizes may vary with each planning area so long as minimum requirements contained in the zoning and development standards of this title are satisfied and the total number of units per planning area is not exceeded.

• C. Development applications within all planning areas shall comply with the Brentwood Municipal Code in respect to development and performance standards, landscaping and screening, parking, signage, lighting and design and site development review.

• D. Residential development adjacent to planning area four, Neighborhood Park and Sand Creek Regional Trail, must include a solid masonry wall and/or a view fence of consistent design treatment where backyard or side yard conditions abut the open space area. As an alternative, streets may also front on the open space area.

• E. Where the Sand Creek Regional Trail crosses any streets, at grade crossings may occur provided signage, striping and other appropriate traffic control devices are installed.

• F. Improvements and conveyance of land for the purposes of implementing the Sand Creek Regional Trail shall be in accordance with the city's adopted trails master plan.

• G. Minor modifications to planning area boundaries may be approved by the director of community development.

• H. Development applications, such as subdivision maps, which incorporate common areas shall be accompanied by landscape plans for the common area.

• I. Prior to final map approval of the first implementing subdivision map, a concept plan shall be prepared and submitted to the city showing designs, location, size, materials, colors and appearance for all entry monumentation and landscaping, including city entry signage.

• J. The development area shall include a total of ten usable acres of neighborhood park area, the payment of in lieu fees, or a combination thereof, as required by the city's park master plan. Park sizes, locations and configurations in the land use plan are deemed acceptable. Facilities to be included in each park shall be in conformance with the city's parks master plan.

• K. Should an offer of dedication of land for park purposes be not accepted by the city, the applicant shall establish a permanent master maintenance organization, acceptable to the city, to assume ownership and maintenance responsibility for all common areas. The organization may be public or private, or a combination of both.

• L. Planning areas seven and eleven are designated as a candidate site for an affordable housing project, in accordance with the city's housing element of the general plan. A minimum fiveacre site within one of these two areas will be reserved for city acquisition to insure the provision of housing to meet the city's needs for elderly, disabled, and lower income households.

• M. Potential park and ride sites are designated for planning areas one, two, three and eighteen. The community park could also satisfy the need for a park and ride site. A park and ride lot will vary between one half to one acre in size and typically include twenty to thirty spaces that are clearly set aside for that purpose, although they may also be shared with office, commercial, worship center and/or other institutional or park uses. When shared, park and ride lots should be located so as to not interfere with normal business operations of adjacent uses. As SPA "D" is subdivided and/or projects are developed, a more precise location for park and ride lots will be determined.

• N. Bus turnouts shall be provided at major intersection locations to accommodate future bus service in the area. As development is proposed, project plans will be reviewed by TriDelta Transit to insure appropriate design and location of bus turnouts and bus shelters.

• O. In accordance with the city's community design policy of minimizing the use of soundwalls along thoroughfares, developments within SPA "D" should be designed with a combination of earth berms, extensive landscaping, decorative wall features, stepped wall patterns, and other design features aimed at minimizing the visual impact of the soundwall.

• P. Where lots back up to major thoroughfares, rear yard architectural elevations should be designed with enhanced window trim and other features such as balconies and trellises to provide greater articulation and variety. If possible, mixing hip and gable roof forms and one and two story elevations is encouraged.
