             •   PO14 – the proposed development:
                     o incorporates a high standard of architectural and landscaping design and creates
                         attractive and functional buildings, streets, and places;
                     o the built form addresses and enhances the streetscape by incorporating

                         development as it steps up the site;
                     o sits within a landscaped setting; and
                     o visually screens site utilities or integrates them with the design of the development;
             •   PO16 – onsite carparking:

                     overflow parking areas that have separate access points to Resort Drive to the east and
                     south;
             •   PO17 – the proposed development does not provide for any basements, and makes use
