2.7.4580 Site Layout and Building Orientation.
In addition to the site layout and building orientation standards of BDC 2.2.500, all of the following standards apply to new and expanded development within the Gateway North Master Planned Development, unless otherwise specified in this code, in order to reinforce streets as public spaces and encourage alternative modes of transportation, such as walking, bicycling and transit:
A. Exterior Site Layout. In addition to meeting applicable access, circulation and lot design standards of BDC Chapter 3.1, new commercial developments must comply with the following standards:
1. Usable pedestrian space must be provided. Usable pedestrian space means a plaza or extra-wide pathway/sidewalk near one or more building entrances. Each development must provide street trees or planters, space for outdoor seating, canopies or awnings, and on-street parking (in selected areas) to improve the pedestrian environment along internal streets or drives.
2. Shopping streets standards per BDC 2.2.500(C)(2) are not required within the Gateway North Master Planned Development. [Ord. NS-2459, 2022]
