Richmond City Zoning Code
SERIES 400
FORM-BASED CODE ZONING DISTRICTS3
Editor's note— Ord. No. 04-23 N.S., § I(Exh. A), adopted April. 18, 2018, enacted a new Series 400 "Form-Based Zoning Districts" to read as set out herein.
15.04.401.010 - Introduction.
This Form-Based Code, adopted in April 2023 (See Section III, Effective 5/18/2023), is a reflection of the community vision for implementing the intent of the General Plan to create walkable mixed-use neighborhoods. These Form-Based Code standards are intended to ensure that proposed development is compatible with existing and future development on neighboring properties, and produces an environment of desirable character, consistent with the General Plan.
This Form-Based Code is based on an initial documentation and analysis of the existing conditions at the macro (citywide) and micro (street and block) scales. The results of this analysis helped to classify the different types of places in Richmond and their subsequent standards.
This Form-Based Code is also based on the input received by the community throughout the process to ensure that the standards in this Code reflect the community's vision for the future of their community as documented in the General Plan (2012), 23rd Street Corridor Charrette Summary Report (2009), and Richmond Livable Corridors Charrette Summary Report (2012).

15.04.401.020 - Form-Based Codes and the Transect.
Form-Based Codes are an alternative approach to zoning that reinforces walkable, sustainable, mixed-use environments and development and builds upon the character of a place.
"Form-based codes foster predictable built results and a high-quality public realm by using physical form (rather than separation of uses) as the organizing principle for the code. They are regulations, not mere guidelines, adopted into city or county law. Form-based codes offer a powerful alternative to conventional zoning."

A.
Form-Based Code Components.
1.
Article 15.04.401 (Preamble) provides the overall intent of this Form-Based Code as it is applied within the City.
2.
Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones) includes information and standards for the transect zones. It organizes dimensional standards for each zone (building placement, building form, parking placement and ratios, architectural styles, allowed frontages, and encroachments) with the allowed uses in each zone, in order to maximize usability and provide a simple user interface.
3.
Article 15.04.403 (Building Types) provides form standards for building types, which supplement the standards found in Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones).
4.
Article 15.04.404 (Frontage Types) provides form standards for frontages, which supplement the standards found in Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones).
5.
Article 15.04.405 (Architectural Standards) provides standards for characteristic architectural styles, which supplement the standards found in Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones) and provide additional standards for the treatment of building and frontage types found in Article 15.04.403 (Building Types) and Article 15.04.404 (Frontage Types).
6.
Article 15.04.406 (General to Large Sites) includes standards and regulations for applicants proposing large infill and community-scaled plans, including standards for thoroughfare networks, connectivity, the development and location of civic and open spaces, and the design of blocks and lots. The standards are designed to promote the development of walkable places.
B.
The Rural-to-Urban Transect.
The transect is an organizing principle often used in Form-Based Coding that focuses first on the intended character and type of place and second on the mix of uses within. This differs from the framework found in conventional or Euclidean zoning in which use, rather than form, is the primary focus. Transect-based zone districts are used to regulate the preservation, evolution, and creation of walkable places.
"The Rural-to-Urban Transect is a means for considering and organizing the human habitat in a continuum of intensity that ranges from the most rural condition to the most urban. It provides a standardized method for differentiating between the intentions for urban form in various areas using gradual transitions rather than harsh distinctions. The zones are primarily classified by the physical intensity of the built form, the relationship between nature and the built environment, and the complexity of uses within the zone."
~ Form-Based Codes: A Guide to Planners, Urban Designers,
Municipalities, and Developers, by Parolek, Parolek and Crawford
The model transect for American cities is divided into six transect zones or T-zones: Natural (T1), Rural (T2), Sub-urban (T3), General Urban (T4), Urban Center (T5), and Urban Core (T6), together with a Special District (SD) designation for areas with specialized purposes (e.g., heavy industrial, transportation, entertainment, or university districts, among other possibilities).
(Ord. No. 04-23 N.S., § I(Exh. A), 4-18-2023)
15.04.401.030 - Applicability.
The Livable Corridors Form Based Code (FBC) and Architectural Standards are effective thirty (30) days after approval by the City Council ("Effective Date"). Any Planning application submitted after the Effective Date for a new project or project amendment is required to comply with the FBC requirements, except for projects with Planning applications under review prior to the Effective Date.
The FBC and Architectural Standards apply to the portions of the City of Richmond within the FBC Map boundary, excluding:
A.
Single-family residences, Accessory Dwelling Units, Dwelling Units constructed pursuant to SB 9, also known as the California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act projects;
B.
Government Buildings;
C.
Rehabilitation, modifications, or additions to historic buildings or adaptive reuse of historic buildings; and
D.
Richmond Bay Specific Plan.
(Ord. No. 04-23 N.S., § I(Exh. A), 4-18-2023)
15.04.401.040 - Exceptions to Architectural Standards.
A project applicant may request an exception or exceptions to the Architectural Standards contained in the FBC. For housing development projects, the exception process set forth is an alternative to a request for concessions and waivers under State Density Bonus law (Government Code Section 65915 et seq.); applicants requesting concessions or waivers may not also request exceptions.
The request must be made in writing as part of the Planning application for the proposed project. The application for an exception must contain detailed information describing the architectural standard that is requested to be waived or modified; how the physical constraints and unique characteristics of the project site make it infeasible to comply with that architectural standard; and how the request meets each exception requirement.
The decision-maker (Zoning Administrator, Design Review Board, Historic Preservation Commission, Planning Commission, or City Council, as applicable) will consider the request and information provided and make findings to approve or deny the request. The decision-maker shall only grant an exception if all the following findings are made:
A.
There is a physical constraint or unique situation that because of special circumstances regarding the project or property, such as property size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, or the needs of the use, conformance with the architectural standard is infeasible.
B.
Approving the exception will not create a health safety hazard or impair the design integrity and character of the neighborhood in which the subject property is located.
C.
The proposed project meets the intent of the design standard for which an exception is requested to the extent feasible.
For housing development projects, denial of the exception does not constitute denial of the project but rather requires the applicant to modify the project to conform with the design standard, either by redesigning the project or through imposition of a condition of approval.

15.04.401.050 - The Richmond Transect.
 | The Richmond Transect has been defined to respond to the form of places within the City where walkability has been prioritized by the General Plan. These form-based standards are intended to promote walkable places with high-quality public realms, as per the vision of the 2030 General Plan. To do this, standards have been developed for the following transect environments in Richmond: |
| The T4 Neighborhood Transect Zone provides a walkable, predominantly single-family neighborhood that integrates appropriate medium-density building types such as duplexes, mansion apartments, and bungalow courts within walking distance to transit and commercial areas. | |
| The T4 Main Street Transect Zone provides a vibrant main-street commercial environment that serves as the focal point for the surrounding neighborhood and provides access to day-to-day amenities within walking distance. | |
| The T5 Neighborhood Transect Zone provides medium- to high-density housing in building types such as apartment houses, courtyard apartments, mid-rise buildings, and—in some areas—high-rise buildings that transition from the surrounding lower-density neighborhoods to the higher-density mixed-use corridors and centers. | |
| The T5 Main Street Transect Zone provides a vibrant, walkable urban main street commercial area that provides locally and regionally serving commercial, retail, entertainment uses, and civic and public uses, as well as a variety of urban housing choices. | |
| The T5 Core Transect Zone provides a high-density, vibrant, urban downtown that provides locally and regionally serving commercial, entertainment, and civic and public uses, as well as a variety of urban housing choices in main street mixed-use, mid-rise, and high-rise building types. |

15.04.401.070 - Transect Overview.
15.04.401.080 - Building Types Overview.
| Table 15.04.401.080.A: Building Types Overview | ||
|---|---|---|
 | ||
| Building Type | Transect Zones | |
 | Carriage House. This Building Type is a secondary structure typically located at the rear of a lot. It typically provides either a small residential unit, home office space, or other small commercial or service use that is located above a garage. This Type is important for providing affordable housing opportunities and incubating small businesses within walkable neighborhoods. |  |
 | Detached House. This Building Type is a medium-sized detached structure on a medium-sized lot. It is typically located within a primarily single-family residential neighborhood in a walkable urban setting, potentially near a neighborhood main street. |  |
 | Cottage. This Building Type is a small, detached structure, either occupying a small lot or
built as an accessory dwelling unit. It is typically located within a primarily single-family
residential neighborhood in a walkable urban setting, potentially near a neighborhood
main street, and is an important means of offering affordable housing opportunities
in these locations.
In T4MS and T5N, this type is allowed as an accessory dwelling unit. |  |
 | Bungalow Court. This Building Type consists of a series of small, detached structures, providing multiple units arranged to define a shared court that is typically perpendicular to the street. The shared court takes the place of a private rear yard and becomes an important community-enhancing element of this Type. Synonym: Cottage Court |  |
 | Duplex. This Building Type is a small- to medium-sized structure that consists of two side-by-side dwelling units with a shared property line, both facing the street, or two stacked units. Both units fit within a single building massing, giving this Type the appearance of a medium to large single-family home. This type is appropriately scaled to fit within primarily single-family residential neighborhoods or medium-density neighborhoods. |  |
 | Rowhouse. This Building Type is a small- to medium-sized structure consisting of 3-8 rowhouses
placed side-by-side and sharing common party walls. This Type is typically located
within medium-density neighborhoods or in a location that transitions from a primarily
single-family residential neighborhood into a neighborhood main street. Synonym: Townhouse In T5MS and T5C, this type is allowed only in the Open Sub-Zone. |  |
 | Multi-Plex: Small. This Building Type is a medium-sized structure that consists of 3-6 side-by-side
and/or stacked dwelling units, typically with one shared entry or individual entries
along the front. This Type has the appearance of a medium-sized family home and is
appropriately scaled to fit in sparingly within primarily single-family residential
neighborhoods or into medium-density neighborhoods.
In T5MS and T5C, this type is allowed only in the Open Sub-Zone. |  |
 | Multi-Plex: Large. This Building Type is a medium- to large-sized structure that consists of 7-18 side-by-side
and/or stacked dwelling units, typically with one shared entry. This Type is appropriately
scaled to fit in within medium-density neighborhoods or sparingly within large lot
predominantly single-family residential neighborhoods.
In T5MS and T5C, this type is allowed only in the Open Sub-Zone. |  |
 | Stacked Flats.This Building Type is a medium- to large-sized structure that consists of multiple
dwelling units. Each unit may have its own individual entry, or may share a common
entry. This Type is appropriately scaled to fit adjacent to neighborhood serving main
streets and walkable urban neighborhoods. This Building Type may include a courtyard. In T5MS and T5C, this type is allowed only in the Open Sub-Zone. |  |
 | Courtyard Building: Small. This Building Type is a detached, House-Scale structure that consists of attached and/or stacked units, accessed from a shared courtyard. The shared court is common open space. Each unit may have its own individual entry, or up to four units may share a common entry. This Type is appropriately scaled to fit in sparingly within primarily single-family residential or medium-density neighborhoods. |  |
 | Courtyard Building: Large. This Building Type is a detached or attached, Block-Scale structure that consists of attached and/or stacked units, accessed from one or more shared courtyards. The shared court is common open space. The type is typically integrated into moderate-to-high-intensity neighborhoods and on main streets with a non-residential ground floor along the adjacent street. |  |
 | Live/Work. This Building Type is a small- to medium-sized attached or detached structure that consists of one dwelling unit above and/or behind a flexible ground floor space that can be used for residential, service, or retail uses. Both the ground-floor flex space and the dwelling unit are occupied by one entity. This Type is typically located within medium-density neighborhoods or in a location that transitions from a single-family residential neighborhood into a neighborhood main street. |  |
 | Main Street Building. This Building Type is a small- to medium-sized structure, typically attached, intended to provide a vertical mix of uses with ground-floor commercial, service, or retail uses and upper-floor commercial, service, or residential uses. This Type makes up the primary component of a neighborhood main street and portions of a downtown main street. |  |
 | Mid-Rise. This Building Type is a medium- to large-sized structure, 4-8 stories tall, built on a large lot. It can be used to provide a vertical mix of uses, accommodating ground-floor retail, service, and/or structured parking with the upper-floors housing service or residential uses; it may also be a single-use building—typically service or residential—where ground-floor retail is not appropriate. This Type is a primary component of an urban downtown providing high-density buildings. |  |
 | High-Rise. This Building Type is a large-sized structure, more than eight stories tall, built
on a large lot that incorporates structured parking. It is used to provide a vertical
mix of uses, with ground-floor retail or service uses and upper-floor commercial,
service, or residential uses. This Type is a primary component of an urban downtown
providing high-density buildings.
In T5N, this type is allowed only in the T5N-135 Sub-Zone. |  |

15.04.401.090 - Frontage Types Overview.
| 15.04.401.090.A Frontages Types Overview | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The private frontage is the area between the building facade and the lot line. | ||||
| Section | Plan | Frontage Type | ||
 | | |||
 | Porch: Projecting. The main facade of the building has a small to medium setback from the frontage line. The resulting front yard is typically very small and can be defined by a fence or hedge to spatially maintain the edge of the street. The projecting porch is open on three sides and all habitable space is located behind the setback line. | |||
 | Porch: Engaged. The main facade of the building has a small to medium setback from the frontage line. The resulting front yard is typically very small and can be defined by a fence or hedge to spatially maintain the edge of the street. The engaged porch has two adjacent sides of the porch that are engaged to the building while the other two sides are open. | |||
 | Stoop. The main facade of the building is near the frontage line and the elevated stoop engages the sidewalk. The stoop shall be elevated above the sidewalk to ensure privacy within the building. Stairs from the stoop may lead directly to the sidewalk or may be side-loaded. This type is appropriate for residential uses with small setbacks. | |||
 | Forecourt. The main facade of the building is at or near the frontage line and a small percentage is set back, creating a small court space. The space could be used as an entry court or shared garden space for apartment buildings, or as an additional shopping or restaurant seating area within commercial areas. | |||
 | Dooryard. The frontage line is defined by a low wall or hedge and the main facade of the building is set back a small distance creating a small dooryard. The dooryard shall not provide public circulation along a ROW. The dooryard may be raised, sunken, or at grade and is intended for ground-floor residential in flex zones, live/work, and commercial uses ≤2,500 sf. | |||
 | Shopfront. The main facade of the building is at or near the frontage line with an at-grade
entrance along the sidewalk. This type is intended for retail use. It has substantial
glazing at the sidewalk level and may include an awning that may overlap the sidewalk.
It may be used in conjunction with other frontage types.
Syn: Retail Frontage, Awning. | |||
 | Industrial Shopfront: The main façade of the building is at or near the front building site line with an at-grade or elevated entrance from the sidewalk. This type is intended to showcase the activity of industrial artisan businesses as well as for retail sales of products made on-site. This type may include a decorative roll-down or sliding door, include glazing and an awning that encroaches the sidewalk. | |||
 | Gallery. The main facade of the building is at the frontage line and the gallery overlaps the sidewalk. This type is intended for buildings with ground-floor commercial uses and may be one or two stories. The gallery should provide the primary circulation along a frontage and extend far enough from the building to provide adequate protection and circulation for pedestrians. | |||
 | Terrace. The facade is at or near the frontage line with an elevated terrace providing public circulation along the facade. This type can be used to provide at-grade access while accommodating a grade change. Frequent steps up to the terrace are necessary to avoid dead walls and maximize access. This type may also be used in historic industrial areas to mimic historic loading docks. | |||

15.04.402.070 - Land Use Table.
15.04.403.010 - Purpose.
This Article sets forth the standards applicable to the development of each building type. These standards supplement the standards for each zone that the building types are allowed within. These standards are intended to ensure development that reinforces walkability, relationships within the built environment, and the highly-valued existing character and scale of Richmond's historic neighborhoods and downtown. Additionally, these standards are intended to allow creation of new developments that create new walkable neighborhoods.
The standards within this Article shall apply to all proposed development within transect zones and shall be considered in combination with the standards for the applicable zone in Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones), Article 15.04.404 (Frontage Types), and Article 15.04.405 (Architectural Standards).
The standards set forth in this Article may be used in all other non-transect zones as guidelines.
(Ord. No. 04-23 N.S., § I(Exh. A), 4-18-2023)
15.04.403.020 - Building Types Overview.
A.
The names of the building types do not limit uses within a building type. The allowed uses are regulated by transect zone; see Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones).
B.
The lot size standards for each building type are regulated by transect zones, see Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones). If the lot does not meet the required size for a selected building type, a different building type shall be selected. See Article 15.04.606 (Nonconforming Uses, Structures And Lots) for existing nonconforming parcels and structures.
C.
Each lot shall only have one building type, except as follows:
1.
Where allowed by legislation passed by the State of California; and/or
2.
Where allowed by the applicable zone in Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones) and by the building type, an Accessory Dwelling Unit is also allowed, subject to the standards in Section 15.04.403.030 (Guide to Accessory Dwelling Unit Types); and/or
3.
If the submitted development plan includes multiple design sites bounded by potential lot lines meeting all the requirements of this Article, each design site may have one building type. Boundaries of design sites shall be treated as lot lines for the purpose of measuring required building setbacks and minimum lot dimensions, but need not be recorded as parcel boundaries. See Section 15.04.406.020 (Design Sites) for details.
D.
Secondary wings and accessory structures shall have a smaller footprint than the building type selected.
E.
Measurement of width and depth.
1.
The width and depth of the main body shall be measured as follows:
a.
The width shall be parallel to the Front.
b.
The depth shall be perpendicular to the Front.
2.
The width and depth of secondary wings and ancillary structures, shall be measured as follows:
a.
The width shall be the greater of the two dimensions of the footprint.
b.
The depth shall be the lesser of the two dimensions of the footprint.
3.
The width and depth of open spaces shall be measured as follows:
a.
The width shall be parallel to the Front
b.
The depth shall be perpendicular to the Front.
4.
The width and depth of courtyards shall be measured as follows:
a.
The width shall be parallel to the Front; unless the courtyard is a secondary courtyard accessed directly from a Side Street.
b.
If a secondary courtyard is accessed directly from the Side Street, the width shall be parallel to the Side Street.
c.
The depth shall be perpendicular to the width.
F.
Measurement of width-to-height ratio and depth-to-height ratio of courtyards.
1.
The width and depth of courtyards shall be measured per Sub-section 15.04.403.020.E.4.
2.
The height of courtyards shall be a measurement of the vertical plane of the building type that defines the courtyard.
G.
Table 15.04.401.080.A (Building Types Overview) provides an overview of the allowed building types.
(Ord. No. 04-23 N.S., § I(Exh. A), 4-18-2023)

15.04.404.010 - Purpose.
This Article sets forth the standards applicable to the development of private frontages. Private frontages are the components of a building that provide an important transition and interface between the public realm (street and sidewalk) and the private realm (yard or building). These standards supplement the standards for each zone within which the frontage types are allowed. For each frontage type, a description, a statement of the type's intent, and design standards are provided. These standards are intended to ensure development that reinforces the highly-valued existing character and scale of Richmond's neighborhoods and downtown.
The standards within this Article shall be considered in combination with the standards for the applicable zone in Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones), Article 15.04.403 (Building Types) and Article 15.04.405 (Architectural Standards) and shall apply to:
A.
All proposed development within transect zones;
B.
All development fronting a semi-private or public space being treated as a primary pedestrian route;
C.
Any building fronting civic or open space or a street (public or private) or right-of-way.

15.04.406.010 - Purpose.
The purpose of this Article is to generate a walkable environment through the establishment of new blocks and thoroughfares and to provide a set of civic space types and their associated standards to use within the transect zones.
The standards established in this Article shall apply to all proposed development within the transect zones exceeding two acres in total area and under common ownership as follows in Table 15.04.406.010.A (Applicability of Standards), and shall be considered in combination with the standards found within Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones), Article 15.04.403 (Building Types), and Article 15.04.404 (Frontage Types).
(Ord. No. 04-23 N.S., § I(Exh. A), 4-18-2023)
15.04.406.020 - Design Sites.
Design Sites may be used as an alternative to subdivision for large lots to demonstrate how the lot could be divided into multiple smaller lots that are not required to be recorded as new parcels. Each design site must satisfy dimensional standards, as well as all other standards in the appropriate Transect Zone; see Article 15.04.402 (Transect Zones). Standards may not be satisfied for one Design Site on adjacent Design Sites. The diagram in this Section illustrates how a large site could be divided using Design Sites.
Example of Multiple Design Sites on an Existing Parcel
(Ord. No. 04-23 N.S., § I(Exh. A), 4-18-2023)
15.04.406.030 - Thoroughfares, Blocks, and Connectivity.
A.
Thoroughfares. Thoroughfares define the public streets that refine pedestrian sheds into walkable environments. Care should be taken in the layout and sizing of thoroughfares, as wide thoroughfares and a lack of connectivity reduce the pedestrian friendliness of the area.
1.
Design.
a.
Thoroughfares that pass from one transect zone to another shall adjust their cross section design to match the character of the transect zone. For example, while a thoroughfare within an urban transect zone with retail shops may have wide sidewalks with trees in tree grates, it may transition to a narrower sidewalk with a planting strip within a less urban transect zone with various residential building types.
b.
The thoroughfare network shall be mapped on a regulating plan and shall indicate the layout of thoroughfares and the block network according to standards in Subsection 15.04.406.030.B.
c.
Thoroughfares shall terminate on/connect to other thoroughfares. Thoroughfares shall not terminate on alleys and lanes.
2.
External Connectivity.
a.
The arrangement of thoroughfares in a development shall provide for the alignment and continuation of existing or proposed thoroughfares into adjoining lands in those cases in which the adjoining lands are undeveloped and intended for future development or in which the adjoining lands are developed and include opportunities for such connections.
b.
Thoroughfare rights-of-way shall be extended to or along adjoining property boundaries such that a thoroughfare connection or stub shall be provided for development:
(1)
Consistent with the minimum block length as defined in Subsection 15.04.406.030.B;
(2)
Consistent with required connections indicated in Figure 15.04.406.030.A.
3.
Dead-End Streets and Cul-de-Sacs. Dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs shall not be included in plans. Cul-de-sacs may be approved by the Director to accommodate a site specific environmental feature requiring protection and/or preservation only. Cul-de-sacs approved by the Director shall meet the following standards:
a.
Permanent dead-end streets shall be no longer than 300 feet and shall be provided with a cul-de-sac;
b.
Temporary dead-end streets shall be provided with a temporary turnaround area which shall be designed considering traffic usage, maintenance, and removal;
c.
Cul-de-sacs shall have a minimum right-of-way radius of 50 feet and a paved circular area with a minimum radius of 40 feet;
d.
Cul-de-sacs shall contain a central planted median; and
e.
Whenever cul-de-sac thoroughfares are created, at least one pedestrian access easement shall be provided, to the extent practicable, between each cul-de-sac head or street turnaround and the sidewalk system of the closest adjacent street or pedestrian pathway. The access easement shall be direct with a minimum width of 12 feet.
B.
Block Size.
1.
Individual block faces and the total block perimeter shall follow the standards established in Table 15.04.406.030.A (Block Size) below. If a block contains multiple transect zones, the most intense transect zone shall be used to establish the standards for block size.
2.
Blocks should be a minimum width, such that two tiers of developable lots are provided.
(Ord. No. 04-23 N.S., § I(Exh. A), 4-18-2023)
15.04.406.040 - Mix and Design of Civic and Open Spaces.
A.
The standards established in this Article provide the transect zones with a diverse palette of parks and other publicly accessible civic spaces, publicly or privately owned, that are essential components of walkable urban environments.
B.
There are multiple civic space types defined in Table 15.04.406.040.A (Civic Space Type Standards). Two of the civic space types, Playgrounds and Community Gardens, may be incorporated into any of the other types or may stand alone.
C.
In Table 15.04.406.040.A (Civic Space Type Standards), the illustration and description of each civic space type are illustrative in nature and not regulatory.
D.
The service area, size, frontage and disposition of elements standards of each civic space type are regulatory.
1.
Service Area. Describes how the civic space relates to the City as a whole and the area that will be served by the civic space.
2.
Size. The overall range of allowed sizes of the civic space.
3.
Frontage. The relationship along property lines of a civic space to adjacent buildings or lots.
a.
The front of the lots attached to or across a thoroughfare from a civic space should face on to the civic space to the maximum extent possible.
b.
Building. Lots that are attached to or across a thoroughfare from a civic space listed as having a "Building" frontage shall have the front of the lot facing on to the civic space for a minimum of three quarters of the civic space perimeter.
c.
Independent. Lots that are attached to or across a thoroughfare from a civic space listed as having an "Independent" frontage may have the front, side street, or rear of the lot facing on to the civic space.
4.
Disposition of Elements. The placement of objects within the civic space.
a.
Natural. Civic spaces with natural character are designed in a natural manner with no formal arrangement of elements.
b.
Formal. Civic spaces with a formal character have a more rigid layout that follows geometric forms and has trees and other elements arranged in formal patterns.
c.
Informal. Civic spaces with an informal character have a mix of formal and natural characteristics.
E.
Typical Facilities. A list of the typical facilities found within the civic space. This list is not intended to be a complete list of facilities allowed nor is it intended that every civic space would contain each of the facilities listed. Facilities larger than the indicated gross square footage (gsf) require review and approval by the Director and Parks Director.
F.
The civic spaces specified in Table 15.04.406.040.A (Civic Space Type Standards) are allowed By Right or By Review in the designated transect zones. Civic Space allowed By Review are allowed if approved by the Director and Parks Director.
G.
Civic spaces shall not be fenced or enclosed and shall have at least one edge open to a street or right-of-way. Edges not abutting a street or right-of-way shall be defined by building frontage consistent with the standard for "BTL Defined by a Building, Front" in applicable zones in 15.04.402 (Transect Zones).

15.04.406.060 - Intersections.
A.
Street design of narrow streets and compact intersections requires designers to pay close attention to the operational needs of transit, fire and rescue, waste collection and delivery trucks. For this reason, early coordination with transit, fire and rescue, waste collection and other stakeholder groups is essential.
B.
More regular encroachment of turning vehicles into opposing lanes will occur at compact intersections. Therefore, frequency of access, traffic volumes and the speeds on intersecting streets at those intersections shall be considered when designing intersections. For fire and rescue, determination of the importance of that street for community access should be determined, e.g. primary or secondary access.
C.
The designer should use turning templates or software to evaluate intersections to ensure that adequate operation of vehicles can occur. Location of on-street parking around intersections should be evaluated during this analysis to identify potential conflicts between turning vehicles and on-street parking. Bike lanes and on-street parking will increase the effective curb return radius, when curb extensions are not employed, by providing more room for the wheel tracking of turning vehicles.
D.
Roundabouts should be considered as an alternative to traffic signals. Roundabouts can provide reduced vehicle speeds, reduced conflict points, separation of vehicle-vehicle conflict points from vehicle-pedestrian conflict points, and provide a two-step crossing for pedestrians. At multi-lane roundabouts, benefits for bicyclists and pedestrians are greatly diminished due to multiple-threat scenarios and bicycle weaving and additional considerations are necessary, including installing a traffic signal or pedestrian hybrid beacons at crosswalks." Roundabouts: An Informational Guide (FHWA) continues to provide the current best practice guidance on roundabout design, including bicycle and pedestrian accommodation.
(Ord. No. 04-23 N.S., § I(Exh. A), 4-18-2023)
15.04.406.070 - Pedestrian Crossings.
A.
Directional Curb Ramps. Perpendicular corner curb ramps with a separate ramp installed in each direction shall be used where feasible instead of single, diagonal corner ramps.
B.
Crosswalks. Crosswalks shall be designed per the Crosswalk Policy in the Pedestrian Plan.
C.
Medians. Medians, where provided, shall provide a median refuge at the intersection designed per the standards in the diagram below.
D.
Mid-block crossings, where provided, shall have mid-block curb extensions per the standards in the diagram below.
E.
On thoroughfares with medians, provided mid-block crossings between the median and curbs shall be offset from one another per the diagram below.
(Ord. No. 04-23 N.S., § I(Exh. A), 4-18-2023)
15.04.406.090 - Bicycle Facilities.
A.

1.
Thoroughfares shall be designed to support the goals, policies, and recommendations within the Bicycle Master Plan and Pedestrian Plan.
2.
The Bicycle Network. Bicycle facilities shall be located per the proposed bicycle network in the Bicycle Master Plan.
3.
Should a conflict arise between the standards in this Article and the Bicycle Master Plan or Pedestrian Plan, the standards in this Article shall take precedence unless the Director determines otherwise.
B.
WCCTAC Transit Wayfinding Plan. Bicycle and pedestrian wayfinding shall be implemented per the WCCTAC Wayfinding Signage Program.
C.
