4.1.6TransitionZone
• The area between the sidewalk and the building front is called the Transition Zone. The area provides a dedicated location for window shopping, retail overflow, small restaurant patios, and doorways and building entrances. The area may also contain private street furniture, private signage, merchandise displays, etc. • A Transition Zone is not recommended for Broadway Street, as there is a desire to maintain the existing street configuration and the street’s tight-knit urban fabric. However, Transition Zones may be accommodated on streets which flank Broadway, through future development.
• The Transition Zone may contain private seating areas, planters, signage, and temporary retail displays. • Elements from the Transition Zone (i.e. patio furniture, entry ramps, etc.) are not permitted and cannot impede the sidewalk in any manner. • The Transition Zone will generally be located on private property, and will be accommodated through the use of setbacks. • Overhanging signage can be installed if it does not interfere with pedestrian travel and meets the design criteria set out in Section 3.0 Private Realm and Architectural Control Guidelines.
