a. Trail Network. Developments shall provide off-street trails that meet the goals and policies of the Town Center Plan. The conceptual trails plan in SDC Figure 21.07.060A.6.a. shall serve as an example of a desirable trail network within the Town Center. The trail network is to be accessible for pedestrians, cyclists, and other nonmotorized vehicles, although some sections may be for pedestrians only. Trails within the TC-A zones shall be planned during the unified zone development planning process (see SDC 21.07.120). Other trails may be planned either collectively or by individual property owners. The conceptual trails plan serves as a guideline for development in the TC-A zones (through the unified zone development planning process) and as a standard for development in the TC-B or TC-C zones. Alternative trail configurations may be considered, provided the project applicant can demonstrate that the proposed trail network is equal to or better than the conceptual trails plan in terms of trail connectivity, accessibility, scenic values, safety, and minimizing environmental
v. Building entrances shall not be focused around a central parking lot but be connected by a sidewalk/ pathway system and/or open space(s). The director may waive or modify this standard if it has been addressed within an adopted unified zone development plan.
6. Site planning – Pedestrian and nonmotorized vehicle circulation Project applicants shall be prepared to demonstrate that the proposal includes an integrated pedestrian circulation system that connects buildings, open space, and parking areas with the adjacent street sidewalk system, trail network, and adjacent properties.
