The following standards apply to entrances and drives: A. All classification of roads shall be based on the Thoroughfare Plan as found and maintained in the Jeffersonville Comprehensive Plan. B. No entrance or drive shall be permitted to begin within: a) Two-hundred (200) feet of any intersecting road if a~ong an Arterial, such as Veterans Parkway. b) One-hundred fifty (150) feet of any intersecting road if along a Local Road, such as the (north/south) Street or Hamburg Pike.

(c) The creation of lots within this development shall be in accordance with the City Subdivision Ordinance (d) The devetopment standards for the Commercial Overlay District that apply to this development are stated herein. (e) Any new development within this proposal shall require approval from the City Drainage Board B. Development Standards 1. Signage: All signs must be designed to create a uniform and consistent sign package throughout the development. Signs may not be constructed of materials that are inferior to the principal materials of the building and landscape. 2. Outdoor storage: No unscreened outdoor storage is permitted. 3. Outdoor sales: Outdoor sales on approved development plans are permitted. Development plans shall locate designated areas of proposed outdoor sales. Chain link fencing around outdoor sales, such as a garden center attached to a retail anchor store, is permitted. 4. Mechanical Equipment: All mechanical equipment must be screened by vegetation, fencing or a building feature (i.e. a parapet).

Approximate access points to the development are located on the Planned Development Exhibit. 7. Pedestrian Access: The design of the proposed development will provide pedestrian connections, wherever feasible, within the development and safe street crossings to adjacent land. This includes a sidewalk along adjacent street(s). The Plan Commission may determine that an alternative to a sidewalk along adjacent street(s) better serves the purpose of connecting commercial destinations. 8. Facades greater than one-hundred (100) feet in length: 30 In order to add architectural interest and variety and avoid the effect of a single, long or massive wall with no relation to human size, the following additional standards apply for facades greater than one-hundred (100) feet in length (see Figures 9 and 10). A. No wall that faces a street or connecting walkway may have a blank, uninterrupted length exceeding one-hundred (100) feet without including at least two (2) of the following design elements: a) change in planes (recess or projection), b) change in texture or masonry pattern c) windows, or d) an equivalent element, that subdivides the wall into human scale proportions, (e.g. a tree from the Group "B" of the Landscaping Standards in this document). B. Any change in wall plane such as projections or recesses must have a depth of at least six (6) inches. C. Overhanging eaves must extend to no less than three (3) feet past the supporting walls must be provided. 3!
