Groups of Buildings
•Vary the rooflines and architectural details so the effect is one of several buildings built next to each other as opposed to one monolithic structure. •Install signs that are low to the ground so they don’t dominate the landscape. •Create courtyards where parking is enclosed by buildings; this will facilitate the “park once” concept so people can perform several errands without driving between stores.  Place parking behind the buildings and have two “front doors” for entry from both the street and parking lot.
