Loft: A double-story height unit with a mezzanine. <br />e. Townhouse: A two to three-story unit. <br />(27)Elevation (Building): The exterior walls of a building. Also referred to as <br />'Facade' when the elevation is along a frontage line. <br />(28)Entrance (Main or Primary): The principal point of access of pedestrians to a <br />building. In the support of pedestrian activity, the main or primary entrance <br />should be oriented to the frontage rather than to the parking. <br />(29)Facade: The exterior wall of a building that is set along a frontage line. <br />Facades support the public realm and are subject to frontage requirements <br />additional to those required of elevations. <br />(30)Flex Block: See 'Building Types' <br />(31)Forecourt: See ‘Frontage Types’ <br />(32)Frontage Line: Those lot lines that coincide with a public street line. One shall <br />be designated as the Principal Frontage Line. Facades along Frontage Lines <br />define the public realm and are therefore more highly regulated than the <br />elevations that coincide with other lot lines. Frontage lines are subject to the <br />urban standards, architectural standards, signage standards, and subdivision <br />standards. <br />(33)Frontage Type: The architectural element of a building between the public <br />right- of-way and the private property associated with the building. Frontage <br />Types combined with the public realm create the perceptible streetscape. The <br />following frontage types used in this Article are listed below: <br />a. Arcade: A facade with an attached colonnade, that is covered by upper <br />stories. This frontage type is ideal for retail use, but only when the <br />sidewalk is fully absorbed within the arcade so that a pedestrian cannot <br />bypass it. For Building Code considerations, this frontage type cannot <br />cover the public right- of-way.
