FORM: VCBSP-1
A complete analysis of design requirements and features for general design review. Design analysis shall consider
general character and neighborhood design requirements necessary to evaluate a binding master plan for consistency
with the Comprehensive Plan, with particular emphasis on issues of neighborhood layout for connectivity,
integration, and compatibility of uses. Themes for specific areas shall be discussed with general expectations. Full
graphics shall be utilized in association with text material and maps to provide a clear expectation for basic design
concepts of the village center. Textual and graphic renderings shall provide a conceptual foundation that will
provide future guidance for design in the village. Said guidance can then be used for specific design consideration
of distinct areas within the village as individual plats are reviewed, and during consideration of specific sites through
site plan review as specific buildings are reviewed;
The means of meeting any other requirements necessary to satisfy comprehensive plan goals and policies;
Master Plan Maps and Supporting Maps:
A binding master plan map and any maps necessary to show the major details of the proposed village center must
contain the following minimum information at an appropriate scale as determined by the Department of Community
Development.
1. Vicinity sketch showing the location of the site and its relationship to surrounding areas, including existing
streets, driveways, major physiographic features such as railroads, lakes, streams, shorelines, schools, parks,
and other prominent features.
2. Boundary lines of the subject property, scale, and north arrow.
3. Existing site conditions including watercourses, wetland areas, flood plains, unique natural features, forest
cover, and elevation contours. These shall be shown at appropriate intervals to indicate the topography of the
entire tract and a reasonable distance beyond the boundaries of the proposed development to include adjacent or
nearby lands where project impacts are relevant.
4. Location and nature of each land use, including type and density of dwelling units and types of commercial,
public, semipublic, industrial, and other uses.
5. Approximate location of existing proposed arterial and collector streets and major pedestrian and bicycle routes.
6. Open space network and key pedestrian areas connectivity based upon graphic rendering and textual
descriptions.
7. The approximate location and size of all areas to be conveyed, dedicated or reserved as common open spaces,
public parks, recreational areas, school sites, fire stations, and similar public and semipublic uses.
8. Existing and proposed sanitary sewers and water lines.
9. Master drainage plan, including stormwater control.
10. Enough information on land areas adjacent to the proposed village center to indicate the relationship between
the proposed development and that which is existing and proposed in adjacent areas, including land uses,
existing structures, ownership tracts, connections with streets, and unique natural features of the landscape.
11. Development phasing.
12. Any additional information as required by the review authority necessary to evaluate the character and impact
of the proposed village center (e.g., soils, geography, hydrology, or groundwater).
