1. Ground level off-street parking is not permitted along frontages of primary streets.
2. Blank, unarticulated walls shall not be permitted for parking garage facades that are not
lined with uses. Such facades shall have architectural treatments designed to be
compatible with adjacent buildings. Ramps, stairwells and any other portion of a garage
should be buffered with the use of decorative grilles and screens, landscaping, and other
varied materials.

front primary streets. When lined on primary streets a minimum of 70% of the frontage, a
parking structure may exceed seventy-five feet (75') in height up to one hundred twenty-
three feet (123') in height. When required, ground level parking facilities must be lined
with active uses. Upper level parking facilities that do not incorporate liner uses shall be
setback no less than 85' and shall not exceed a height of 50'. All other requirements
provided herein shall apply.
Section 3. If any section, part of a section, paragraph, clause, phrase, or word of this
Resolution is declared invalid, the remaining provisions of the Resolution shall not be affected.
Section 4. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon adoption thereof.
