Figure 6: Liner Building Concept

With a liner building, the parking is located in the third or fourth layer with the liner units located along the street frontage within the first and second layers. The design of the building frontage is required to

==> picture [231 x 204] intentionally omitted <==

be consistent with the frontage type allowed for the zoning district in which the parcel is located.

Figure 7: Conceptual Live/Work or Park under Building

Garage Concept This conceptual plan provides the option of ground floor parking or ground floor work space. When the wall of the garage facing the street is designed as one of the allowed frontage types and accessed from an alley rather than the street, the garage may be located in the first or second layer. Work/Flex This concept does not include parking as part of the unit. Parking could be provided along the frontage of the parcel, in an open parking lot on the site in compliance with the parking layer requirements, in a shared parking structure, or off site. Liner Concept Illustration The live/work concept illustrated in Figure 7: Conceptual Live/Work or Park under Building, could be used as the liner units. Number of Stories The number of stories is determined by the zoning district (GU, UC, DC) and is subject to Airport Zone height restrictions.
