Sec. 4B.2.1. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS DISTRICT 4¶
A. Intent
Development Standards District 4 prioritizes the pedestrian experience. Pedestrian access standards facilitate pedestrian circulation by improving pedestrian access from the public realm to the interior of buildings through frequent, direct and convenient access to building entrances. Parking for automobiles is not mandated, encouraging uses to orient toward pedestrian traffic in a walkable and transit rich environment. Parking facilities must meet high design standards to ensure pedestrian mobility, safety, and comfort are not hindered, and buildings provide active frontages along each segment of the public right-of-way. On-site signs are sized and located to support a pedestrian-oriented public realm..
