July 13, 2015 Section 6: Building and Site Development Standards TCAAP Redevelopment Code Page | 36 6.0 Building and Site Development Standards All parcels within the TRC are assigned to one of seven (7) Zoning Districts: 1. Campus Commercial 2. Town Center 3. Office Mixed-Use 4. Retail Mixed-Use 5. Flex Office 6. Civic 7. Neighborhood In addition to standards that apply to all Zoning Districts, Building and Site Development standards applicable to each Zoning District are described in Sections 6.2 – 6.8. The images and graphics in the first subsection of each zoning district standards are provided as illustrative of intent and are advisory only without the power of law. Refer to the standards on the following pages for the specific Building and Site Development Standards. In addition, the graphics used to illustrate the building and development standards in each Zoning District are NOT intended to indicate exact conditions within each Zoning District. Rather, illustrations are conceptual and standards are to be applied based on the specific frontage types designated along the subject property or site. For example, a specific site may not have frontages along all streets as indicated in the illustrations and only the standards applicable to designated building frontages on the property should be used. In addition, the illustrations may depict other site elements to establish context and only the standards regulated by the specific subsection shall apply. For example, the Building Placement graphics may depict sidewalks for context purposes only and the graphic should only be used to establish standards for building placement on the site. Building form graphics in these sections are NOT TO SCALE. 6.1 General to All Zoning Districts (a) Building Frontage Designations: The Building Frontage designations are established on the Regulating Plan (Attachment 1) to specify certain building and site development standards along each street based on the priority placed on pedestrian-orientation. The Regulating Plan illustrates the Building Frontage designations within the TRC. For the purposes of this code, all Building Frontages are classified into one of the following three categories: i. Pedestrian Priority Frontages – Pedestrian Priority Frontages are intended to provide the most pedestrian-friendly and contiguous development context. Buildings and sites along Pedestrian Priority Frontages shall be held to the highest standard of pedestrian-oriented design and few, if any, gaps shall be permitted in the ‘Street Wall’. Breaks in the street wall may be permitted for courtyards, forecourts, sidewalk cafes and pedestrian connections between the individual sites and the public sidewalk. These street frontages are the main retail, restaurant, entertainment streets, or are important neighborhood connectors, as identified in the Regulating Plan. 1. Specific to Pedestrian Priority Frontages: The area between the building facade and property line or edge of any existing sidewalk along any street with Pedestrian Priority Frontage shall be designed such that the sidewalk width shall be a minimum as determined by the street type (see Attachment 4) and the remainder of any setback area shall be paved flush with the public sidewalk. Sidewalk cafes, public art, landscaping within tree-wells or planters may be incorporated within this area.
