Publicly accessible open space areas shall be <br />designed to optimize linkages and connections with adjacent <br />properties within the District. Further, open space areas shall <br />encourage active use and pedestrian activity between the <br />public and the private realm. <br /> <br />A. To achieve well-designed and highly amenitized open <br />space areas that are accessible to the public, new <br />development will be required to include an open space <br />component that is accessible to the public through the <br />main street-facing fa~ade entry of the project. These areas <br />may be inclusive of a front setback or driveway areas, but <br />may not include parking areas or rear setbacks to satisfy <br />a private open space requirement. All new development <br />within the MEMU Overlay Zone shall provide publicly <br />accessible open spaces as a percentage of the total <br />development site area as follows: <br /> <br /> <br />Public plaza <br />1. Neighborhood Transitional District: 5 percent <br />2. Village Center District: 1 0 percent <br />3. Active Urban: 15 percent <br />4.
