streets with sidewalks, and bikeways that offer multiple routes for motorists,
pedestrians, and bicyclists and provides for the connection of those streets
to existing and future developments.
F.
Retains existing buildings with historical features or
architectural features that enhance the visual character of the community.
G.
Incorporates significant environmental features into
the design.

of this chapter.
