   .020   Parcels Without Frontage.

   .030   Integrated Design. The design of buildings, signs, landscaping and other structures or elements shall feature a unified and integrated theme.
   .040   Vehicle Access. All vehicle access shall be from a vehicle circulation system designed and improved in accordance with the applicable City Standards.
