   59-C-11.5.1. Street facade requirements.
   1.   Any development must provide at least one street facade for a minimum of 75 percent of the lot frontage along a street or other publicly accessible sidewalk, way or space.  The street facade must be located within 10 feet of: 1) the front lot line or; 2) the public use space along a street or other publicly accessible sidewalk, way or space. 
   2.   The ground floor portion of any street facade in a non-residential development must have windows and principal entrances to stores and retail establishments from the adjoining sidewalk or public use space.  Off-street parking structures, if located along required street facades, must have retail or other pedestrian-oriented uses at the ground floor level fronting the street with direct access to the sidewalk or a public use space.
   3.   The Planning Board may modify a street facade requirement including the location or the minimum length of a required street facade during site plan review to achieve the objectives of the applicable master or sector plan.  For lots with more than one street frontage, the Planning Board may establish which side would be subject to the street facade requirements during site plan review based on a layout that best achieves pedestrian oriented streets.
