q. Ground Floor Façades & Windows
Individualized shop fronts and business fronts contribute to a positive pedestrian experience. This is especially true when these façades are transparent enough to provide a significant visual connection between inside and outside the building. To address this connection the following standards shall apply: (1) Transparency . Ground floor façades are required to be transparent for no less than 60% of the horizontal length of the building façade between the heights of three (3) feet and eight (8) feet above the public sidewalk. Glass shall be clear or a maximum of 20% tint.
(2) Glass Panel Size . Ground floor glass panels are limited to a maximum of four (4) feet wide by six (6) feet high.
(3) Solid Base . A solid base constructed of wood, stone, brick, or architectural concrete no less than two (2) feet high is required between the store front glass and the sidewalk. Architectural variation, either a solid base or transparent glass, shall account for the one (1) foot difference between this requirement and subsection (1) above. (4) Security . Security gates, bars, and doors, including roll-down and horizontal doors, whether exterior or interior, are prohibited on all doors and windows facing the public street frontages.
