(a) General Site Layout. Along Vine Street frontages, the general site layout shall conform to the following standards.
(1) A minimum of 60% of a development's frontage on Vine Street must be occupied by building frontage, and an additional 10% may be occupied by building frontage or a wall as specified below, which is located no further than ten feet from the front property line. The building wall shall be an extension of the principal or accessory building(s). The Village may allow up to 50% of a building's surface to be set back further than ten feet to create facade articulation or provide a plaza or another useful outdoor pedestrian space along the frontage.
(2) Walls shall be constructed of solid masonry and shall have a height not less than three feet nor greater than eight feet, not including ornamentation or other features.
(3) The remaining 30% of a development's frontage on Vine Street may be used for necessary vehicle and pedestrian access ways.
(b) Parking. Parking lots or parking structures shall be regulated as follows:
(1) Parking lots shall meet the setback standards as established Chapter 1181.
(2) Parking structures, lots, or spaces shall not be located in the front yard and shall meet the side and rear project boundary setbacks established for buildings in Section 1159.08.
(3) Parking structures, lots, and spaces shall be buffered or screened at a minimum as required, per Chapter 1181.

(d) Building Coverage. Building coverage in the HHD shall be regulated as follows:
(1) Single building developments. A single building fronting on Vine Street shall not have a footprint which exceeds 15,000 square feet.
(2) Panhandle lots. Any building on a panhandle lot with less than 25 feet of frontage along Vine Street shall be treated as a rear building for coverage purposes.
(3) Multiple building developments. When included in a multiple-building development on a site in excess of two acres, a single building may have a footprint in excess of 15,000 square feet if the Village finds that it meets the following regulations:
A. Under no circumstances may a building's footprint exceed 30,000 square feet;

F. The loading, parking, and trash dumpsters are adequately screened from adjacent residential uses; and
G. The building meets all other building design standards as specified by this chapter.
(e) Loading and Service Areas. Loading and service areas shall be located and designed in such a way as to minimize visual and noise impact on adjacent residential uses.
