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. Along streets and drives where street frontage typesare not depicted on the Regulating Plan, an appropriatestreet frontage type shall be established as part of anapplication for development approval.SECTION B-201. GENERALDevelopment within the US 19 District is regulated bysubdistrict and street frontage type as shown in Figure 1.Regulating Plan and described below.SECTION B-202. 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. Standards are designed to create pedestrianfriendlystreets and building frontages, and betterconnections among destinations.B) Neighborhood Center SubdistrictThe Neighborhood Center Subdistrict is applied to areasalong US 19 planned to serve as local shopping andemployment destinations. Standards are designed tocreate more pedestrian-friendly streets and buildingfrontages, and better connections among destinations.C) Corridor SubdistrictThe Corridor Subdistrict is applied to areas along US 19without direct access to interchanges. In these areas, awide range of employment-intensive uses is favored oversmall-scale retail uses. Standards are designed to allowflexibility in site configurations and consistency in frontlandscape improvements.US 19 ZONING DISTRICT & DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS4 of 39 | ADOPTED ORD. 8988-17 | 02.02.17Figure 1.

Front setbacks may be reduced to 5 feet in locationswhere adjacent rights-of-way are improved with a 10-foot minimum wide landscape area adjacent to thestreet and a 10-foot minimum wide pedestrian areaadjacent to building frontages. For the purpose of thissection, the landscape area adjacent to the street shallinclude landscape material equivalent to what is requiredfor front buffer areas in Article 3, Division 12 with theexception that the width shall be as set forth above.3. Front setbacks may be increased by 10 feet maximumextending 40 feet maximum along the front facade forprojects with front courtyards or publicly-accessible frontentry plazas.4.
