A. All local streets, whether public or private, shall provide a sidewalk at least five feet wide. The tree requirement shall be calculated at one tree per forty feet of frontage, either grouped or spaced at reasonable intervals, where allowed by the institutional controls.

B. The number and width of curb cuts shall be minimized on residential and commercial streets so as to reduce the number of conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. Driveways to individual residential garages shall not be wider than sixteen feet at property line. Driveways providing access to single-family attached units shall be separated by a minimum landscaped area of three feet in width.

C. Where a local or collector street is bordered by ground floor commercial uses with shop fronts oriented to the street, the planting strip may be replaced by at least a five-foot-wide hard surface amenity zone with street trees in grates or cut-outs where allowed by the institutional controls. Other street furniture such as wastebaskets, bicycle racks, pedestrian lights, and newspaper boxes may be located within this amenity zone. The sidewalk should be wide enough to provide at least five feet of width for a walking zone and at least a five-foot-wide zone next to the shop fronts for window shopping, sidewalk cafes, and the temporary display of goods.

D. Local and collector streets shall be designed to accommodate the minimum widths for travel lanes and on-street parking lanes.

E. Surface parking areas shall be screened by low perimeter landscaping, walls or railings to minimize the impact of vehicles and headlights onto adjoining residential structures and streets. (Ord. 2013-04 § 1 (Att. A (part)))
