(Also see division 38.540 of this division for related parking requirements)” Primary parking lot street frontage is along Iron Horse Rd and is setback from the property line 11’-6” and approximately 26’-6” from the edge of street. At the area where the parking lot extends closest to Manley Rd, the parking lot corner is setback at least 10’ from the property line and approximately 32’-8” from the street. Landscaping: “The area between the street and building must be landscaped and/or private porch or patio space. For setbacks adjacent to buildings with windows, provide low level landscaping that maintains views between the building and the street. Also provide plant materials that screen any blank walls and add visual interest at both the pedestrian scale and motorist scale. For extended wall areas, provide for a diversity of plant materials and textures to maintain visual interest from a pedestrian scale. (Also see division 38.550 of this division for related landscaping standards)” A large landscape zone has been provided along Manley Rd and the bike path running though the site. Landscape zones have also been provided between West building façade and the park lot between the building and Iron Horse Rd. A landscape buffer has been provided between the parking lot South of the building and the neighboring property, Lot 1, to the South. The building façade to the North has been pulled in slightly from the setback line to allow low level plantings to be introduced. Sidewalk width: Where storefront buildings are proposed, sidewalks must meet storefront block frontage standards above. Otherwise, 6' minimum sidewalks are required adjacent to arterial streets and public parks and 5' minimum width in other areas, except the review authority may require wider sidewalks in special areas where called for in adopted plans or where significant pedestrian traffic is anticipated. All proposed sidewalks and pathways are 5’-0” min width. Where parking abuts pathway, 20’ deep parking stalls with wheels stops are provided. All sidewalks and pedestrian pathways are held away from proposed building façade more than 3’-0”. Thank You!
