This document discusses student housing compatibility and design. It defines compatibility as allowing different uses to be located near each other in harmony, not necessarily being the same. Site characteristics like size, scale, height and landscaping can affect compatibility. The land use code provides standards for architectural character, building size/height/materials and operational compatibility. Zone districts have additional standards addressing density, design and height limitations. Examples show how articulation, massing, landscaping buffers and parking placement can achieve compatibility between multi-family and single-family residential.
