CHAPTER 3: Land Use Plan and Development Standards <br />New development is encouraged to provide creative solutions for onsite common open space, including green roofs situate on top of buildings or above a parking <br />area. <br />An example is the LiveRaof® system used in the New Block° design, which creates usable open space on the rooftop of the surface parking cover, utilizing a <br />unique, modular, green roof planting system. The meadow -like open space contains a variety of native plants and decorative hardscape for barbecues, picnic <br />tables, and social gatherings. <br />The rooftop space is readily accessible to residents and provides an attractive amenity. Additional benefits include the reduction of the heat island effect, filtration <br />of pollutants and reduced and filtered stormwater runoff, and outdoor active and passive recreational space on the roof over surface parking. <br />This type of open space and roofing schdon also lowers land acquisition costs, provides a visually interesting roofscape, and creates a more attractive and <br />appealing transifion between higher and lower density development. Open space provided on the top of a building or above the parking area may be private and <br />set aside for the exclusive use of the occupants of the building. <br />Conceptual renderings of the New Black"' product and open space, construction pictures as of August 2013, and a site plan. <br />Porerd Pondlip <br />Imagea aay4r ✓+rx Iznalne In Buena h.k a )o.unlewgxl m Mnanee orknaanemugnh 2a. aO0 slavpm+wre.
