CHAPTER 3 MOBILITY <br />Sidewalk and Public Frontage Guidelines <br />STREETSCAPE. The public realm should be <br />enhanced with new street trees, street <br />furniture, and sidewalks or pathways. <br />2. UNIFIED STREETSCAPE CHARACTER. The <br />streetscape should be designed with <br />a coordinated palette of materials, <br />furnishing, and style. Project applicants <br />should coordinate with City to determine <br />the appropriate design. <br />3. RETAIL AND OFFICE CURB ZONE <br />CHARACTER. In locations fronting <br />commercial and retail ground -floor <br />uses, the curb zone should be primarily <br />hardscape. Special pavers should <br />distinguish the curb zone from the walk <br />zone. The curb zone should contain street <br />furniture and installation such as bike <br />racks, refuse receptacles, seating, street <br />lighting and street trees. <br />4. RESIDENTIAL CURB ZONE CHARACTER. In <br />locations fronting residential ground -floor <br />uses, the curb zone should be primarily <br />softscape with regularly spaced hardscape <br />connections to street parking. At building <br />entries, the curb zone should include more <br />hardscape to ease drop-off and pick-ups. <br />13' 13' 16' 5' 1 10' <br />4 HEAD -IN CURB PED <br />u PARKING ZONE ZONE ZONE <br />NEGOTIATED SHARED ACCESS 15' <br />AND PARKING EASEMENT IDEWALKZON <br />5.

Substantial <br />landscape screening should be planted <br />along the rear of commercial and mixed - <br />use buildings adjacent to residential <br />streets or properties. <br />7. STREET FURNISHINGS. Street furniture, <br />including benches, bicycle parking, and <br />trash receptacles, should be consistent in <br />their appearance throughout the area. <br />8. FRONT SCREENING. One or more rows <br />of street trees should be used to screen <br />the front facades of residential and office <br />uses. <br />9. PEDESTRIAN EASEMENTS. Public access <br />easements on private property are <br />encouraged (when not required)to expand <br />the sidewalk and usable pedestrian area. <br />7' 8' 10' <br />CURB PED RESIDENTIAL <br />ZONE ZONE SETBACK <br />15' <br />IDEWALK ZONE <br />///ustratton oftypica/retai/pub/icfrontage ///ustration oftypica/resioentia/pub/icfrontage <br />63 <br />
