Relax side yard setbacks and allow narrower frontages to reduce total road length in the community and overall site imperviousness. Relax front yard setback requirements to minimize driveway lengths and reduce overall lot imperviousness.

Promote more flexible design standards for residential subdivision sidewalks. Where practical, consider locating sidewalks on only one side of the street and providing common walkways linking pedestrian areas.

Minimize the number of residential street cul-de-sacs and incorporate landscaped areas to reduce impervious cover. The radius of cul-de-sacs should be the minimum required to accommodate emergency and maintenance vehicles. Alternative turnarounds should be considered.

Reduce overall lot imperviousness by promoting alternative driveway surfaces and shared driveways that access two or more homes.

Clearly specify how community open space will be managed, and designate a sustainable legal entity responsible for managing both natural and recreational open space.
