        Section A.1.4.14   Strategies for Activating Frontages

        A.  Overview. Where possible, buildings in downtown San Marcos should be built to the build-to-line to support an active street edge.
            Some developments may opt to incorporate a forecourt, in which part of the front building wall is set back from the property line. Where
            this is the case, the forecourt should be designed to encourage active use. Landscape features, seating, lighting, outdoor dining and
            architectural features are all encouraged. These strategies should be integrated with the design of the building. Table 1.14 provides
            strategies for activating frontages.
