(1) All development shall be oriented such that buildings shall front all existing and planned streets. Buildings shall be located a maximum of 10 feet from the building-side edge of the standard sidewalk. A greater setback may be considered in order to accommodate parking as allowed in SMC 17.105.110(2)(c). A wider sidewalk, public space, outdoor cafe, or other architecturally integrated design features (as approved by the planning director) shall be allowed in the front setback or street side areas. No loading areas, drive-through service, accessory structures, or similar features shall be allowed in the front setback or street side areas. SR 532 shall not be considered a front within the WSDOT designated controlled access area; however, no loading areas shall face SR 532.

(2) Building locations must reinforce pedestrian activity and shall be orientated to ground floor activities to enhance the liveliness of the street.

(3) All buildings shall have at least one front or side customer entrance providing ingress and egress with at least double width doors. A corner entrance may be used provided it is located on the portion of the building facing the frontage street. Where a building abuts two streets, an entrance facing at least one street shall be provided and any corner entry shall be located on the portion of the building nearest the street intersection. In the case of a 65,000 or greater square foot single tenancy building, only a rear entry serving the parking lot is required.

(4) The primary entrance shall be more articulated and highlighted (size, material, architectural features, lighting, etc.) than any secondary entrances. (Ord. 1335 § 2, 2013).
