Adjacent hand Use <br />Design Guidelines <br />1) Site planning and design of buildings adjacent <br />to arterial and collector streets can significantly <br />contribute to the creation of environments that <br />support walking, bicycling, and transit use. Site <br />and building design is an opportunity to redirect <br />private investment to support multi-modal <br />transportation and increase transit ridership. <br />2) Buildings should face the street in all transit <br />oriented development and nodal development <br />areas within the city. Orienting the front en- <br />trance of buildings to the street is fundamental to <br />increasing regional and local accessibility to <br />transit, walking and bicycling. It also facilitates <br />pedestrian access and supports pedestrian <br />activity on the street. <br />3) Discourage residential fencing along arterial <br />and collector streets that isolates the develop- <br />ment from the street. Encourage residential <br />building orientation to the street by providing for <br />on-street parking wherever possible, and by <br />encouraging on-site parking access via alleys. <br />4) Attempts should be made, wherever possible, <br />to consolidate multiple driveways on arterial <br />streets into single access points. <br />Design Standards <br />1) To minimize he visual and circulation im- <br />pacts of extensive sections of fencing along <br />major streets, bicycle and. pedestrian accessways <br />or street connections shall be provided at <br />intervals not to exceed 600 feet. <br />1Zesidential fencing that isolates development from the street is discouraged in the plan <br />72 <br />
