The main entrance <br />is prominent, attractive, street facing, and engages the public with plantings, seat walls, <br />stairs, and a raised seating area. The massing is varied, with a lower height along the <br />frontage and taller height at the rear of the site. The façade provides a base, middle, <br />and cap to reduce the apparent size and massing. Public facing walls are designed with <br />surface relief and design detailing to create an attractive appearance. Exterior materials <br />include stucco wall surface, stucco cornice, precast corbels, fabric awnings, trex and <br />metal railings, and a gabled tile roof. <br /> <br />North Main Street Precise Plan Goals <br />In addition to the Standards and Guidelines, the NMPP has the following key <br />development goals: <br />· Downtown-to-Bayfront Link: This goal recognizes that the North Main Street <br />area can function as a link between the Downtown and development along <br />Redwood Creek north of Highway 101. The Precise Plan envisions a land use <br />and circulation link with pedestrian-orientation, widened walks, street-facing <br />buildings, other frontage amenities, and an alternative route along Redwood <br />Creek. <br /> <br />· Density and the Role of Infill Development: This goal recommends higher <br />densities to address housing needs and capitalize on nearby commercial <br />businesses, transit, and Highway 101. <br /> <br />· Redwood Creek Open Space and Trail: This goal requires new development to <br />incorporate a creek side trail, and through-access from Main Street to the trail, to <br />provide public access to and along Redwood Creek. <br /> <br />Setbacks Front: 25’ max / 15’ min <br />Side: 10’ <br />Rear: 39’ (from top of bank) <br />25’ <br />10’ <br />39’ (from top of bank) <br />Yes <br />Sidewalks 12’ min 12’ Yes <br />Creek trail 14’ clear width 14’ Yes <br />Lot coverage 65% max 51% Yes <br />Parking 178 spaces * <br />3 public spaces for trail users <br />182 spaces <br />3 public spaces for trail users <br />Yes <br />Bicycle Parking 42 spaces (1 space/3 units) 42 spaces Yes <br />Common <br />outdoor space <br />20,000 sq. ft.
