18J.70.040 Canyon Road and 112th Street Corridors.
Site Design objectives and standards are intended to ensure the built environment is integrated with the natural environment and to provide connections (e.g., road, pedestrian, and trail) to the surrounding land uses.
A. Unified Design Elements for the Canyon Road and 112th Street Corridors. These Corridors define the core of the plan area and are zoned Employment Corridor (ECOR), Mixed Use District (MUD), Neighborhood Center (NC), Neighborhood Corridor (NCOR), and Urban Corridor (UCOR). Within this core area, the intent is to ensure a unified appearance and consistent application of functions and design elements.
1. Design Objective – Street Trees within the Corridors. Require consistent street trees within the Corridors and adjoining areas zoned CC, ECOR, MUD, NC, NCOR, or UCOR.
a. Species of Street Trees Required. The street tree species identified in Table 18J.70.040-1 shall be used to meet street tree requirements of PCC 18J.15.050. These street trees shall be located within a planting strip between the sidewalk and right-of-way. When location within the right-of-way is not approved by the County Engineer, street trees shall be located on private property immediately adjacent to the public right-of-way.

2. Design Objective – Circulation within the Canyon Road and 112th Street Corridors. Develop a system of internal vehicle circulation facilities within development proposals that facilitate travel within and between commercial areas and abutting properties to reduce traffic on the county roadway system and to better define the core commercial areas.
a. All non-residential development proposals shall be required to provide automobile connections to adjacent non-residential properties through the use of cross-access easements, common entryways, shared internal roadways and parking lots, and similar techniques. These connections shall be arranged to provide for a series of internal circulator facilities that allow movement between neighboring sites without needing to utilize adjacent arterial roadways.
b. Internal vehicle circulation facilities shall include curb, gutter, sidewalk, planting strip, and street lighting. Crosswalks shall be provided where needed for pedestrian crossings. These crosswalks shall be defined by utilizing materials that simulate stamped concrete or a paver treatment.
3. Design Objective – Street Furniture and Lighting Design. A specific unified design shall be utilized for street lighting, street furniture, and similar streetscape improvements provided within the corridors.
a. Standards.
(1) Internal Street Lighting. Pedestrian-scaled street lighting inside developments in the corridors shall have a dark green powder-coated finish and be 16 to 24 feet in height. See required lighting style in Figure 18J.70.040-1.
FIGURE 18J.70.040-1 – Lighting Styles
(2) Benches. Benches shall be 6 to 8 feet in length, made of steel or aluminum, and powder-coated in a dark green finish. See the required bench style in Figure 18J.70.040-2.
FIGURE 18J.70.040-2 – Bench Styles
(3) Bollards. Bollards shall be 36 to 40 inches in height, cast iron or cast aluminum, and powder-coated in a dark green finish. See required bollard style in Figure 18J.70.040-3.

(5) Bicycle Racks. Bicycle racks shall be made of dark green, powder-coated steel. Bicycle racks shall be secured to the ground or wall and shall provide two points of contact for locking.
(6) Planters. Planters shall be made of metal with a dark green, powder-coated finish. See required planter style in Figure 18J.70.040-5.
