SITE

Standards in the “Site Design” category are intended to ensure that the arrangement and
relationship between various elements on a site have a positive impact on the property and the
surrounding neighborhood. Site standards identify where buildings, parking and other elements
should be located on a site to promote a visually cohesive neighborhood, establish a rhythm of
buildings along a street, minimize the visual impact of parking and garages on the neighborhood
and ensure that sufficient light, air and privacy are preserved between adjoining properties. They
also promote efficient and safe circulation of pedestrians and vehicles, as well as a minimization
of pedestrian/vehicle conflicts.

Where a site will be subdivided into more than one parcel (a potential situation for Rowhouse,
Cottage Court, Two-Family and 3-Plex/4-Plex/Mansion Apartment), site design standards should
be based on the collective area of all parcels. Figures 4.5 and 4.6 illustrate a project site that
remains 1 parcel, despite the individual rowhouse units. Figures 4.7 and 4.8 illustrate a project
site that was subdivided into individual parcels based on units. While this project is subdivided,
the site design standards should still be based on the collective area of all parcels.
