Building footprint: Maximum of four -tenths (0.40) times the gross lot area; 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.
C. Third floor level and above. 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 25% of all linear street frontages
where lot depth is equal to or greater than 105'-0" excluding required setbacks along the primary
street frontage. In cases where lot depth is less than 105'-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.
D. In addition, since the intent of this modified footprint is to promote more urbanized projects along
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.
