The proposed Project is in conformance with the guidelines and standards contained in the Design Manual. B. The proposed Project is consistent with the intent and the guidelines of the "Commercial" section of the Design Manual as follows: 1. The Project's scale is proportional to nearby buildings and is appropriate given the parcel size. The Project does not overwhelm facilities to the south and ease by being an out-of-character style. 2. Given the constraints on parcel size, the quality of the site planning and architecture implement the guidelines of the Design manual in that the Project's architecture, landscaping and parking layout promote an attractive, inviting, imaginative and functional arrangement. 3. The functionality of the site is adequate because the design of the Project recognizes the importance of parking and circulation to the success or failure of this commercial enterprise in terms of ingress and egress and potential conflicts with street traffic, on-site circulation and potential conflicts between cars, pedestrians and service vehicles, and the overall configuration, efficiency and appearance of the parking area and circulation drive.
