OV-07: Promote mixes of residential and commercial uses located either in a mixed- use building or among single-use building on a mixed-use site where appropriate.
OV-12: Enhance the character and environment of the Overlake Neighborhood to achieve the vision. Use neighborhood-specific design standards and other design techniques to help create a character for Overlake that is distinct from Downtown.
OV-15: Encourage the use of green building techniques and low-impact development methods, such as green roofs, bioswales and rain gardens.
OV-21: Encourage the creation and placement of public art, especially when it is integrated with public infrastructure projects. Also consider providing sculptures, water features, and other elements.
OV-56: Recognize sidewalks with landscaped planting strips and street trees as part of Overlake Village’s park-like amenities.
