Consolidate off - street parking into unified parking lots <br />and structures as opposed to individual parking lots for <br />each commercial use. <br />b. To mitigate the visual impact and to enhance economic <br />development, incorporate retail uses and landscaping on <br />the ground level of parking structures located outside the <br />flood plain. <br />c. To minimize storm water runoff, reduce the extent of <br />impervious surfaces by using pervious paving materials <br />such as paving grids or pervious pavement. <br />d. Install weather resistant bicycle racks at a ratio of one <br />rack for every 20 vehicular spaces (for parking lots of less <br />than 20 vehicular spaces, install at least one rack). <br />O Avoid the creation of additional open paved surface <br />parking lots to maximize pedestrian safety within the <br />Downtown area. <br />Landscaping for Parking Lots: <br />e. Ensure a minimum 1 -1/2 to 3 foot wide and not more <br />than 3 feet high landscaped setback along the parcel <br />perimeter, and in particular to reduce the visual impact <br />from the street. <br />f. Provide interior landscaping within surface parking <br />facilities; for example, canopy -type trees along with low <br />maintenance shrubbery and decorative rock. <br />Lighting for Parking Lots and Structures: <br />g. For security purposes, install and maintain sufficient <br />lighting for public parking lots and structures that are <br />utilized at night. <br />h. Ensure that light fixtures are scaled to the pedestrian as <br />well as the automobile with fully - shielded lights directed <br />4 1 Page Community Design Patterns: A Guidebook for Downtown Hilo •June 2010 DRAFT <br />
