BAY FAIR TOD SPECIFIC PLAN <br />Example ofretall Curb Zone and Pedestrian Zone <br />10. PEDESTRIAN -SCALED LIGHTING. In <br />addition to streetlights, pedestrian -scaled <br />light fixtures up to 16 feet tall should be <br />used throughout the Plan Area to provide <br />a unified identity. <br />11. NIGHTTIME ILLUMINATION. New <br />development projects should provide <br />continuous pedestrian -scaled lighting <br />along sidewalks, mid -block connections <br />and other pedestrian facilities to improve <br />safety and enhance the pedestrian <br />environment. <br />12. PLANTER LANDSCAPING. Planter areas <br />should be planted with drought -tolerant <br />and hardy landscape species. Plantings <br />should be no more than 3 feet high <br />and, where parking spaces exist, should <br />anticipate space needs for opening car <br />doors. Planters should be maintained by <br />the fronting property. <br />13. STREET TREES. Street trees should be placed <br />an average of 25 to 35 feet on center, or as <br />needed for continuous sidewalk canopy. <br />Street tree types should be selected to <br />ensure a unified street environment <br />identity throughout the Plan Area. <br />Example ofa publicly -accessible pedestrian <br />connection <br />.6- <br />Example ofresldentlal Curb Zone and Pedestrian Zone <br />14. LANDSCAPING CHARACTER. The following <br />guidance applies to landscaping in public <br />frontage areas: <br />• Drought -tolerant plant materials <br />should be incorporated to reduce <br />water use and irrigation requirements. <br />• Whenever possible, use native and <br />bay -friendly planting palettes. <br />• Implement rainwater harvesting <br />and other features that provide a <br />stormwater retention co -benefit. <br />• Mature, existing trees should be <br />preserved whenever possible. <br />• Trees should be placed to maximize <br />climate benefits and energy savings. <br />Deciduous trees should be located <br />to allow sunlight to reach buildings <br />during winter, and to provide shade <br />during summer. <br />15. GREEN STREETS. Incorporate stormwater <br />infiltration, detention, swales, and other <br />features into the design of sidewalks <br />and public frontages, incorporating <br />guidance from MRP Provisions C.11 and <br />C.12 to reduce PCBs and mercury from <br />stormwater. <br />Example ofplanterlandscaping <br />
