Avon requires any Mixed Use Development Plan to adopt low impact development features, including hydrologic design elements (infiltration, retention and detention, biofilters), permeable pavement elements and disconnected impervious surfaces, green roofs, rain water harvesting, street trees and appropriate plant species, and foundation planning. Additionally, alternative energy infrastructure (including solar panels, micro wind turbines and micro water turbines), must be appropriately integrated within buildings and structures so as to minimize the visual impacts of such infrastructure
