Landscaping and Firedale Screening 22.100,050(B)(3) Village Site Elements Design Standards Design Standards Sustainable 22.100.090(8)(1) Design F. To promote the preservation of critical areas and encourage low impact development. G.

The proposed development will integrate low - impact development techniques where r-L- _ feasible. For the purposes of this section, low -impact development techniques shall include, but shall re not be -limited to, the following: the use of bioswales, green roofs, and of=_==Fete open cell/vegetated pavers. "Reasonably feasible" shall be determined based upon the physical characteristics of the property and its suitability for the technique; cost alone shall not render the use of low -impact techniques unreasonable or unfeasible. Additional techniques for strong consideration: a. Rainwater harvesting —for use in site irrigation and possibly toilet flushing for commercial uses. b. Utilization of water efficient fixtures throughout the project. 2. Energy Resources. Increase efficiency by maximizing equipment efficiency and using control strategies. Design to reduce energy and electricity consumption and eliminate unnecessary demand. Include use of alternative energy resources wherever possible. 3. Material Resources. a. Plan for long-term use by designing for adaptability, specifying durable materials and considering energy and maintenance needs. b. Select resource -efficient and recycled materials, where possible, that minimize environmental impact. c. Utilize wood from sustainable sources. d. Encourage recycling of waste with easy access recycling stations and pickup areas. e. Manage construction demolition and waste with a jobsite recycling plan. 4. Health and Indoor Air Quality. Utilize multiple strategies to limit emissions from materials. Select low VOC and nontoxic materials, paints and finishes. Pay special attention to residential units in selection of finishes and paints for low or no toxicity. Sustainable stormwater mitigation and site drainage system. Definitions Possible use of green roofs and other innovative technologies. Low Impact Development (LID): A stormwater management and land development strategy applied at the parcel and subdivision scale that 21.55.070 emphasizes conservation and the use of on -site natural features.
