4. Design and Construction Guidelines, The Project will be constructed in <br />accordance with the Commercial Design Guidelines and the Development <br />Objectives. In addition, the Project will be constructed of high quality materials <br />in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by the ABR and the <br />Planning Commission. "High quality material" shall mean durable and authentic <br />materials containing thoughtful detailing. The Project will reflect a "four- sided" <br />design that is aesthetically pleasing from all building elevations. The Project will <br />seamlessly integrate with the design, massing and materials of existing <br />commercial buildings in Lakewood. In particular, Developer will cooperate with <br />the City to arrive at a mutually acceptable and appropriate transitioning of the <br />massing and height of south building(s) to integrate with the existing houses <br />located on Belle Avenue and Marlowe Avenue, as determined by Developer, <br />ABR and the Planning Commission. <br />In addition to the formal approvals described below, Developer will coordinate <br />with the City Architect and Planning Director on all aspects of the Project, <br />including, in particular, on the design of the public space. Developer will prepare <br />and submit to the City for approval its plans for the exterior configuration, <br />appearance, orientation, and permitted uses of the Project. The City will <br />cooperate with Developer in obtaining all such approvals. <br />a. Rezoning(Lot Split and Consolidation. In connection with the Project, <br />the Project Site will need to be rezoned as a Planned Development, as <br />more particularly described in Chapter 1156 of the Lakewood Zoning <br />Code. 'the parties will work together to commence the rezoning process <br />as soon as possible after the execution of the Development and Use <br />Agreement. In light of Developer of obtaining a survey of the Project Site <br />in connection with its due diligence, Developer also shall engage such <br />surveyor to undertake a lot consolidation and any lot splits required by <br />Developer for the development of the Project. If the rezoning process is <br />delayed due to reasons outside of Developer's reasonable control, the City <br />will agree to an extension of the Due Diligence Period sufficient to allow <br />for the completion of the rezoning process. <br />b. ABR and Planning Commission Approvals. The plans and <br />specifications for the Project will be subject to review and approval by the <br />ABR and the Planning Commission. Any material deviation from the <br />final approved plans will be subject to City approval. These approvals <br />(including the rezoning) are anticipated to require 6 - 10 months and are <br />required to be complete prior to the transfer of the Project Site as <br />described in Section 3(c). <br />c. Sustainability. In addition to meeting the Development Objectives <br />relating to sustainability, Developer in good faith will explore design <br />options for the Project that prioritize renewable energy, alternative <br />transportation and green infrastructure, which may include, to the extent <br />economically feasible, the following elements: <br />4832 -1246- 9749 -18 <br />
