STREET FRONTAGE TYPESA) Street Frontage Types on Regulating PlanSelect requirements in these Development Standardsapply to properties along one of five street frontage typesshown in Figure 1. Regulating Plan. These are furtherdescribed in Division 4, where Street Frontage Type A isconsidered the most pedestrian- and transit-supportiveand Street Frontage Type E is considered the leastpedestrian- and transit-supportive.B) Street Frontage Types Assignment1. Along new primary drives as defined in SectionB-502.B and Table 5. Locational & Design Standards forNew Drives, Street Frontage Type A is required.2.

SUBDISTRICTSStandards and regulations for properties within the US19 District apply to properties falling within one of threeSubdistricts illustrated in Figure 1. Regulating Plan.A) Regional Center SubdistrictThe Regional Center Subdistrict is applied to areas alongUS 19 planned to develop with a more urban characterdefined by taller, mixed use buildings aligned alongstreets.
