(1) Vehicular circulation patterns shall be designed to minimize potential conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. (2) Parking and vehicle circulation patterns shall be designed to reduce speeds and increase pedestrian friendliness, efficiency, and convenience. (3) To the extent practicable, nonresidential and mixed-use sites shall be designed to provide cross access and a unified circulation pattern with adjacent sites. Techniques to achieve this include, but are not limited to, shared driveways, shared access roads and cross access easements. (4) To the extent practicable, common or shared service and delivery access shall be provided between adjacent parcels and/or buildings. (5) Access easements may be required so that pad sites or adjacent parcels have adequate access if ownership patterns change.

(1) Public transit stops shall be constructed to the standards set forth by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority, on an easement provided to the Village of Orchard Park, with siting and design requiring approval by the Planning Board. (2) Transit stops that are integrated into the development as a feature of a primary structure or as part of an open space feature are encouraged by the Village. (3) In all instances, transit stops shall be accessible and integrated into the pedestrian circulation system and must include uninterrupted sidewalk and crosswalk access to principal building entrances. (4) Adequate space for an immediate or eventual transit stop must be allocated during the site plan review process if the principal building entrance is greater than 800 feet from an existing transit stop. Actual provision of such transit stop shall be coordinated with the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. §225-15.3 Off-street parking design.
