consider the following:
• Locating a new liner building in the surface lot to activate

• Create pedestrian connections through a parking area to
the street.
* This scenario is particularly relevant to development
in Character Areas 8: Industrial and 9: Employment
Services/Production Industries, where many existing
structures are set back from the street with parking or
landscaping between the street and the building. Figure 6.3: Locate new liner
buildings between the street and
a parking area. The above model

the front setback area to be an amenity. bottom, parking set behind and
taller buildings located behind the
parking lot.
Design a street frontage to promote pedestrian activity.
Storefront windows and outdoor
patios activate the public realm.
Figure 6.4: Consider context
when locating a new development
on a site. For instance, new
development could orient towards
a natural feature such as Foss
Creek or the Russian River.
