parking drives shall be designed in accordance with the following <br />standards: <br />1. Driveways. Driveways provide vehicular access to parking and <br />dwelling units but do not provide primary pedestrian access to <br />units. Driveways are intended to be used primarily for vehicular <br />circulation and dwelling access and should be visually distinct from <br />streets.

The applicant <br />requests an adjustment to parking drives standard, which is allowed, subject to review under the <br />criteria listed at EC 9.8030(8)(e) Site Access and Internal Circulation. The relevant approval criteria <br />and findings are provided below: <br /> <br />EC 9.8030(8)(e) Site Access and Internal Circulation. The requirements set forth in EC <br />9.5500(11) may be adjusted in accordance with the criteria in this subsection.

The applicant proposes sidewalk and crosswalk improvements <br />along the southern length of the drive connection between River Road and Lombard. <br /> <br />onal landscaping, and pedestrian crosswalks will be <br />beneficial to residents and visitors of the site. In this case, the above criterion does not require <br />either of the two items mentioned, rather, it requires sidewalks along private streets, and specifies <br />the location of street trees. In this case, the applicant has not proposed a private street; therefore, <br />the above criteria are not relevant to the request <br />granted. <br /> <br /> (c) Alley Access.
