<br /> <br /> <br />Front street building orientation <br /> <br />Larger buildings shall be broken down in scale through changes <br />in massing, changes in plane and profile, fa<;ade subdivision, <br />as well as other architectural means to ensure that the building <br />is well proportioned and creates a satisfactory composition, <br />Sites in this District shall be designed so that tower elements <br />do not impact adjacent lower intensity developments but <br />rather are designed to maximize exposure to the freeway or <br />to adjacent developments of a similar intensity, <br /> <br />A minimum building height of three stories is required within <br />this District to ensure that a level of intensity is ochieved on <br />any development site even when there are multiple buildings <br />of various heights, Any new development that is ten stories <br />or greater in the Active Urban District and is proposed at a <br />location odiacent to a multiple-family residential use or zone <br />outside 01 the MEMU area shall be set back at least 1 50' <br />from the property line of the adjacent residentially used or <br />zoned property, <br /> <br />4. OHice District: Six stories maximum <br /> <br />Existing development within the Office District varies from two- <br />story garden offices to the high~rise Xerox Center adjacent to <br />the 1-5 Freeway, Development in this District is limited to office <br />uses to maintain 0 core of offices uses within the Metro East <br />area and therefore is least likely to utilize the provisions of <br />the MEMU Overlay Zone, New development in this District <br />under the Overlay Zone will vary from low-rise garden office <br />to mid~rise office buildings with ancillary uses and may not <br />redevelop as quickly as other Metro East oreas, <br /> <br />Higher intensity mixed-use building <br /> <br />The height, scale, mass and bulk of new development shall <br />be designed to achieve a "human scale" at the ground level <br />to foster a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere, with buildings <br />located along and oriented to the street frontages and <br />common plazas. In order to maintain a consistent level of <br />development intensity within this District, a minimum height of <br />three stories is encouroged. If a project is on a large site with <br />multiple buildings, an average of four stories should be used <br />as a guide, <br /> <br />4,3 MINIMUM DEVELOPMENT SITE AREA <br /> <br />As a means to encourage development that ochieves the <br />objectives of the MEMU Overlay Zone, all new development <br />shall have a minimum lot size that facilitates the use of design <br />principles that achieve adequate setbacks, open spoces, <br />connections with adjacent properties in the district, and a <br />high level of site design, Required development site area is <br />required as follows: <br /> <br />a, Neighborhood Transitional District <br /> <br />20,000 square feet <br /> <br />b. Village Center District <br /> <br />30,000 square feel <br /> <br />c, Active Urbon District <br /> <br />I Acre (43,560 square feetl <br /> <br />d, Existing Office District <br /> <br />30,000 square feet <br /> <br /> <br />758-109 <br />
