use at this location.

site as an entrance to the community. Building design and placement should
reinforce the function of the Hamilton Avenue and Winchester Boulevard
intersection as a community gateway. Building forms should be orientated
toward the corner and should provide distinctive landmark features.

sensitive to the scale and character of adjacent residential uses. Building
placements shall provide adequate buffers and transitions to adjacent
residential and professional office uses.

neighborhood. The specific access improvements, if any, shall preclude
project traffic from exiting or entering from the south along Esther Avenue.

that the City Council adopt the attached Ordinance making effective the
