Ordinance No. NS-XXX <br />Page 31 of 49 <br />2 <br />4 <br />5 <br />5 <br />2 <br />b. Forecourt: A semi-public exterior space partially within the shopfront, <br />gallery or arcade frontage that is partially surrounded by a building and <br />also opening to a thoroughfare forming a court. The court is suitable for <br />gardens, outdoor dining, vehicular drop-off and utility off-loading. <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 <br />yard. A porch may also be appended to the facade. A fence or wall at the <br />property line may be used to define the private space of the yard. The <br />front yard may also be raised from the sidewalk, creating a small retaining <br />wall at the property line with entry steps to the yard. <br />d. Gallery: A colonnade that is attached to storefronts and projects over the <br />sidewalk. <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 <br />the street, although such use is appropriate above. <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 windows <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 <br />frontage type. A porch or shed roof may also cover the stoop. <br />(34)Front yard/Porch: See 'Frontage Types' <br />(35)Gallery: see ‘Frontage Types’ <br />(36)General Retail: Stores and shops selling many lines of merchandise. <br />Examples of these stores and lines of merchandise include: <br />a.
