Frontage Line: Those lot lines that coincide with a public street line. One shall be designated as the Principal Frontage Line. Facades along Frontage Lines define the public realm and are therefore more highly regulated than the elevations that coincide with other lot lines. Frontage lines are subject to the urban standards, architectural standards, signage standards, and subdivision standards. 32. Frontage Type: The architectural element of a building between the public right- of-way and the private property associated with the building. Frontage Types combined with the public realm create the perceptible streetscape. The following frontage types used in this Article are listed below: a. Arcade: A facade with an attached colonnade, that is covered by upper stories. This frontage type is ideal for retail use, but only when the sidewalk is fully absorbed within the arcade so that a pedestrian cannot bypass it. Planning Commission 1 – 44 3/6/2025
