<br />Ordinance No. NS-XXX <br />Page 33 of 49 <br />For Building Code considerations, this frontage type cannot cover the public <br />right- of-way. <br /> <br />b. Forecourt: A semi-public exterior space partially within the shopfront, gallery <br />or arcade frontage that is partially surrounded by a building and also <br />opening to a thoroughfare forming a court. The court is suitable for gardens, <br />outdoor dining, vehicular drop-off and utility off-loading. <br /> <br />c. Front yard / Porch: A common frontage type associated with single family <br />houses, where the facade is set back from the right of way with a front yard. <br />A porch may also be appended to the facade. A fence or wall at the property <br />line may be used to define the private space of the yard. The front yard may <br />also be raised from the sidewalk, creating a small retaining wall at the <br />property line with entry steps to the yard. <br /> <br />d. Gallery: A colonnade that is attached to storefronts and projects over the <br />sidewalk. <br /> <br />e. Shopfront: A facade placed at or close to the right-of-way line, with the <br />entrance at sidewalk grade. This frontage type is conventional for retail <br />front- age and is commonly equipped with cantilevered shed roof(s) or <br />awning(s). Recessed storefronts are also acceptable. The absence of a <br />raised ground floor precludes residential use on the ground floor facing the <br />street, although such use is appropriate above. <br /> <br />f. Stoop: An elevated entry porch that corresponds directly to the building <br />entry, with stairs placed close to the frontage line on a building with the <br />ground story elevated from the sidewalk, securing privacy for the win dows <br />and front rooms. This type is suitable for ground -floor residential uses with <br />short set- backs. This type may be interspersed with the shopfront frontage <br />type. A porch or shed roof may also cover the stoop. <br /> <br />33. Front yard/Porch: See 'Frontage Types' <br /> <br />Furniture and Fixture Manufacturing, cabinet shop: The manufacture or assembly <br />of high-grade articles of furniture and fixtures calling for fine finish, such as <br />decorative cabinets, desks and chairs, store fixtures and office equipment.
