Additionally, due to the proximity of the project site to the campus, this development encourages bicycle and pedestrian traffic that is otherwise not typically found with traditional student housing /multifamily development located farther from campus. Furthermore, the national trend for mixed use student housing developments similar to this project is for reduced parking standards where a mixture of residential and nonresidential uses is being provided within the same building allowing for shared parking between uses. The parking garage will be designated for all on -site uses. The upper levels of the parking garage will be restricted through the use of a security gate located past the non - reserved (visitor and retail customer parking). Seventeen (17) or more parking spaces in the parking garage will be designated for residential tenants or their guests. Eight (8) spaces within the parking garage will be designated and reserved for use by retail and/or office uses. The property owner shall work with the City to install appropriate signage restricting time (hours) for parking. Additionally, bicycle rack areas will be incorporated into the project site. A combination of secure bike lockers for use by residents and open public bike racks will be provided in safe and secure locations. Bicycle parking shall be provided at a minimum of 0.50 rack spaces per bedroom. 6.03 Exterior Construction Standards The Project Site is intended to be developed in a modern, urban architectural design encouraging architectural variety and visual diversity. Achieving a high quality of architectural design for the Project Site is considered a principal goal of these design standards. Reflecting the vision of the Development, the development standards call for exterior material and design standards that express a modern, urban architectural design. 1. Buildings constructed on the Project Site shall incorporate the use of vertical and/or horizontal reveals, off -sets, and three dimensional detail between surface planes to create shadow lines, break up flat surface areas, and provide visual architectural variety. 2. Appropriate exterior fagade materials shall be consistent with native building materials and shall include brick, stone, stucco, split face concrete masonry units (CMU), faux stone or brick (stone/brick veneer), finished concrete, metal panel (individual or systems), glass curtain wall systems, or a combination thereof. 3. Appropriate building materials for limited accents shall be metal (galvanized, painted, or ornamental) wood, tile, or other durable natural materials. 4.
