This section is included in your selections.

Where a property fronts onto more than one street, each building frontage must comply with the regulations for the block frontage upon which it fronts, with the following clarifications:

A. Where a conflict exists between frontage regulations, the director will apply the regulations of a block frontage pursuant to the following order of preference:

1. Primary;

2. Secondary; then

3. Undesignated.

Subsections B and C of this section clarify how the order of preference works for particular frontage elements.

B. Entrances. For corner sites, entrances on both streets are encouraged, but only one entrance is required. For corner sites with frontage on a primary block frontage on one side, an entrance must be placed on the primary block frontage side or facing the corner. For corner sites with a mix of designations that do not include a primary block frontage, the entry must be placed on the order of preference identified above.

Departures may be considered provided the location and design of the entry and block frontage treatments are compatible with the character of the area and enhance the character of the street.

C. Transparency. For corner sites, at least one block frontage must meet the applicable transparency regulations (based on the order of preference above). For the second block frontage, the director may approve a reduction in the minimum amount of transparency by 50 percent. For street corners with the same designations on both frontages, buildings must employ the full transparency on the dominant frontage (based on the frontage width or established neighborhood pattern). (Ord. 2341 § 5 (Exh. A), 2020).
