H. Dimensional, Intensity, and Design Standards for Option Six: Village Mixed Use/Commercial Areas
This option can be combined with the Village portion of Options 5 to provide for these permitted additional uses, The requirements of 1304 F.2 shall apply to any Option 5 use that includes this Option 6.
1. Use Intensity Standards
a. New commercial buildings in the Mixed Use/Commercial Area and their associated parking spaces shall not occupy more than 5% of the net developable land area of the entire Village. However, they may occupy up to 10% if they include second-story office uses, and up to 15% if they include secondstory residential units. In order to qualify for the 15% figure, at least three-quarters of the new commercial building coverage (foundation footprint) shall be of two-story construction, and at least 75% of the second-story space shall be designed for residential uses.
B. Village shop buildings and their parking areas should typically be allowed to occupy up to 60 percent of their building sites, with relatively little land between structures or between structures and the sidewalk. Parking areas shall generally be located behind shops (and occasionally to one side, if adequately screened from the street and should be the primary focus of landscaping and buffering efforts (particularly where they abut adjoining residential lots).
2. Minimum Lot Size
The minimum lot size for non-residential uses in Village Mixed Use/Commercial Sub-district shall be determined by adding 130 percent to the land area needed for the structure, on-lot parking, ingresslegress, and any on-site infrastructure that is required. The additional 130 percent shall be constitute setbacks and landscaped buffers.
Lots shall have a minimum frontage of 30 feet on a street or rear service land (alley) to provide vehicular access, and a minimum width at the building line of 50 feet. .
4 Setback Regulations:
Private swimming pools as per Section 810.
6. Additional Design Standards
a. All buildings in this sub district shall be subject to a maximum front setback (the "build-to " line) in order to maintain a strong sense of streetscape. Such buildings shall generally be of two-story construction (to the so-called "build-up line ", as shown in the illustrated design guidelines in the subdivision ordinance), and shall be designed in accordance with the design standards set forth below. Maximum building height and coverage are controlled by other provisions in this ordinance governing maximum height and minimum parking standards.
b. Ground floor space shall generally be reserved for pedestrian-oriented retailing and services, with offices and housing above.
c. Each Village Mixed Use/Commercial Area shall have a primary common or green of at least 10,000 square feet. This primary common shall border on a principal street running through the Village. This central green shall be located within 1500 feet of 80% of all dwelling units in the village. (Alternatively, two greens of at least 6,000 sq. ft. may be substituted for the central green, in order to meet the distance/proximity standard.) The type of trees and shrubs used shall be such that vistas through the open space are largely unobstructed. Greens shall be landscaped using elements of formal gardens, walkways, monuments, statues, gazebos, fountains, park benches and pedestrian-scale lampposts. They shall be designed as attractive gathering places for all village residents in both day and evening. No green shall contain more than 10% coverage by impervious surfaces.
7. Parking
a. Non-residential off-street parking shall be to the side or rear, or located within internal parking areas not visible from the street.
b. On-street parking spaces along the street frontage of a lot (except where there are driveway curb-cuts) shall be counted toward the minimum number of parking spaces required for the use on that lot.
c. On-street parking spaces shall be designed to be parallel to the curb.
d. Off-street parking may be located within 600 feet (measured along a publicly accessible route) from the lot containing the use to which the parking is accessory. Said lot containing the parking shall be owned or leased to the owner of the principal use, or the lot containing the parking shall be dedicated to parking for as long as the use to which it is accessory shall continue and it is owned by an entity capable of assuring its maintenance as accessory parking.
e. Parking associated with new commercial buildings shall not occupy more than I % of the net developable land.
