CHAPTER 5 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS + GUIDELINES Ground -Floor Retail Building Frontage Guidelines RECOMMENDED ACTIVE, GROUND -FLOOR RETAIL LOCATIONS. Active, ground -floor retail is strongly encouraged along East 14th Street, near the BART Station, and along the connecting streets between these two locations, in whatever location these connections occur. 2. GROUND -FLOOR RETAIL USE TYPES. Public -serving street -level uses such as restaurants, retail shopping, customer services, community facilities, education facilities and cultural uses such as theaters, performance spaces, and gathering spaces are particularly encouraged. 3. RETAIL BUILDING FRONTAGES. Retail frontages shall be composed of architectural elements that enhance the public realm and provide a human - scaled street environment. The following elements can be used to achieve this goal: • Facade treatments and details that are scaled to the pedestrian WIDE SIC • Distinct corner articulation through differentiation in materials, fenestration, glazing, and roof form • Transparent ground -floor storefronts with awnings or canopies • Generous sidewalks for pedestrian amenities like displays, benches, and cafe tables. 4. MINIMUM TENANT SPACE DEPTH. Ground - floor retail and commercial shall have tenant space depths of at least 40 feet. To create a more vibrant and active retail street, narrower and deeper tenant spaces are encouraged to increase the number of storefront entries per linear foot of frontage. 5. FREQUENCY OF PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCES, RETAIL GROUND FLOOR. Entrances shall be located at least every 50 feet to a maximum separation of 100 feet, depending on ground floor use. Corner commercial uses shall have a corner entrance or entrance toward both streets. ;TINCT CORNER TICULATION Example of well -designed retail frontage
