A. Site Plan/Urban Design Standards Specific to Subarea 2.

2. Building Interrelationships.

a. Intent.

i. To define the street space and edge along 7200 South and Bingham Junction Boulevard as much as possible, so as to aid in the creation of identity and place in an environment where the street is wide, the density is low, and the sizes of parking fields are large.

ii. To keep buildings close enough to the street so as to create a defined street space, which aids in creating a sense of place and community, and provides informal oversight and security for the public realm.

iii. To allow occasionally deeper setbacks to accommodate drives, frontage streets and on-street parking between the building and the curb if such allowance results in primary entries that face the street, or is needed because the only though access for drive-in facilities along 7200 South requires a drive in front of the building.

iv. To ensure that streets through the commercial area that lead to residential areas are bordered by buildings with at least good quality facades, and good site landscaping so that they give as good quality entry experience to the residential neighborhoods.

v. To set back commercial uses along the Bingham Junction Boulevard open space enough to include either a wide sidewalk, or a street or drive with some on-street parking and a wide sidewalk between the parking and the building.

3. Pedestrian and Vehicular Access.

a. Intent.

i. To design and site drive-in facilities so that they minimize the disruption of pedestrian connections, particularly along the street.

2. Building Facade and Character.

a. Intent.

i. To create facades that are expressive of the commercial activity within the building through transparent windows, display windows, and translucent glazing.

ii. To modify standardized, corporately branded, building expressions so as to fit the overall visual unity of the retail district along 7200 South, and local identity of the Bingham Junction redevelopment.

iii. To ensure that the highest quality facades face 7200 South and Bingham Junction Boulevard, and only well-designed, good quality facades are visible from these two arterials.

iv. To orient the entries of buildings and tenants toward 7200 South and Bingham Junction Boulevard as much as possible, or at least be clearly visible from these two arterials.
