Consolidate points of entry and limit through-traffic. Employ sustainability benchmarks (LEED/SITES principles). Be park-centric. Incorporate water features and vegetation throughout. Be dense/urban (land efficient). Minimize surface parking. Connect to the surrounding land uses (parks, shopping, etc.). Enrich the community with social and cultural assets. Become a catalyst for economic development. 15
