Figure 6.5: Building Placement and Setback Character
Defining the street edge with buildings and landscaping is important. Where setbacks occur, the
characteristics of the setback - landscaping, plazas, pathways or other features - are key to defining
the character of the street. The following diagrams illustrate options for design at the street edge
and indicate where a solution is appropriate by Character Area.
No Setback between Sidewalk & Building
In this scenario, the front wall of a building is
placed against the back edge of the sidewalk.
Pedestrians have direct access from the street
and from parking, which is located in the rear.

limited distance from the sidewalk edge. This
provides space for landscaping and outdoor
uses.
