Subject to the requirements <br />of the applicable land use district, a proposed building shall be designed <br />with one or more of the following frontage types: arcade, gallery, shopfront, <br />forecourt, staop, and frontyard /porch. <br />Traditionally, commercial storefronts are characterized by tall storefront <br />windows resigned to display merchandise to pedestrian passersby and entice <br />them inside, while enhancing interior daylighting.
