Building footprint: Maximum of four -tenths (0.40) times the gross lot areal except that by Class II
Special Permit, the maximum building footprint may be increased to six tenths (0.60) times the
gross lot area for projects that comply with the following requirements:
A. At ground level Habitable spaces as liners to conceal parking structures or parking areas, must be
provided for at least 65% of linear street frontages
B. At the second floor level. Habitable spaces as liners to conceal parking structures or parking areas,
with a combination of architectural articulation for all linear street frontages shall be permitted;
however, in no case will the habitable space liners be less than 40% of all linear street frontages. The
effect of this requirement shall be to ensure that parking structures and parked vehicles are concealed
from exterior street view.

areas, with a combination of architectural articulation for all linear street frontages shall be permitted;
however, in no case will the habitable space liners be less than 25% of all linear street frontages

frontage. In cases where lot depth is Tess than 1051-0" excluding required setbacks along the primary
street frontage, no habitable spaces as liners shall be required so long as the project provides and
incorporates architectural articulation for all linear street frontages. The effect of this requirement shall
be to ensure that parking structures and parked vehicles are concealed from exterior street view.

commercial corridors, all projects shall demonstrate an emphasis to articulate and express
architecturally the corners of the proposed structures along such corridors. The effect of this
requirement shall be to ensure that parking structures and parked vehicles are concealed from exterior
street view while providing appropriate urban forms along primary street frontages.
