Parking.

(1)

Parking requirements.

Outbuildings serving as garages facing alleys shall be permitted within this setback. Surface parking lots may be built up to the property line on all other street frontages.

(4)

Structured parking lot placement. Parking structures shall be set back a minimum of 50 feet from the property lines of all adjacent streets to reserve room for liner buildings between parking structures and the lot frontage. The liner building shall be no less than two stories in height. Liner buildings may be detached from or attached to parking structures.

Access to off-street parking.

(6)

Parking lot landscaping requirements.

a.

Landscape strips of at least six feet in width shall be provided between parking isles of either head-in or diagonal parking. Tree spacing in parking lots shall be determined by the city arborist based upon tree species and location. The objective is to create as continuous a shade canopy as possible. A diversity of tree species across the Town Center is encouraged. To minimize water consumption, the use of low-water vegetative groundcover other than turf is encouraged.

b.

In lieu of landscape strips, landscape islands can be provided. No more than six consecutive parking stalls are permitted without a landscape island of at least six feet in width and extending the entire length of the parking stall. A minimum of one tree shall be planted in each landscape island.

(j)

Complete streets. All streets proposed in this district will be designed as "complete streets" providing for movement and accommodation of pedestrians, bicycles, and transit, as well as motorized vehicles. Streets shall be designed as gathering places and public spaces.

Large footprint buildings. Buildings with a footprint greater than 20,000 square feet may be built within the Town Center District by special exception only. Such buildings must abide by all rules in this code with the following special limitations:

(1)

Buildings may be one story in height on any frontage except Main Street and Market Square, but shall be at least 24 feet in height. This may be accomplished with liner buildings or higher ceiling heights and/or parapets.

(2)

To encourage use by pedestrians and decrease the need for solely auto-oriented patronage. Large-footprint buildings must reinforce the urban character of the Town Center and shall therefore continue a connected system of walkable street frontages.

Buildings are exempt from maximum lot size restrictions, however building footprints may not be larger than a single block.

(4)

Loading docks, service areas and trash disposal facilities shall not face streets, parks, squares or significant pedestrian spaces.

Lot: A single building plot; the smallest legal increment of land which may be bought and sold.
