A. Site Plan/Urban Design Standards Specific to Subarea 3.

1. Building Use and Orientation.

a. Intent.

i. To orient the frontages of adjoining uses toward the Jordan River open space, where feasible, and dependent on final character and quality of the open space. Side or rear orientation is possible depending on the quality of the architecture, the amount of transparency and informal oversight provided for the open space, and the location and screening of service areas.

ii. To avoid locating blank walls, service areas and inactive uses adjacent to the river open space.

iii. To reinforce the public nature of the Jordan River open space.

iv. To extend the views of the river open space back into the neighborhood.

v. To orient residential toward the Bingham Junction Boulevard linear park, in order to provide informal oversight for the park.

vi. To orient lower density residential side or rear facades to the sides and rear of large/medium scale retail, and flexible office/warehouse buildings, and their parking fields as much as possible.

vii. To orient residential side or rear facades to the railroad corridor.

2. Building Interrelationships.

a. Intent.

i. To generally align the facades of houses and/or other structures in a consistent manner along a street to establish a common spatial environment, and to avoid screening or shadowing the front entry of neighboring residential structures.

ii. To generally align the facades of houses and other structures in a consistent manner in order to define the spatial boundaries of public open spaces.

iii. To maintain an attractive, active street frontage along streets leading into residential areas.

iv. To set back buildings, particularly residences, from streets enough to include a detached sidewalk, a landscaped park strip with street trees (where feasible) and a landscaped front yard, the minimum size of which is enough to provide the following elements:

(A) A usable porch or comfortable entry space.

(B) Enough area to provide the residential occupant the ability to express individuality and uniqueness with landscaping.

(C) A transitional or buffer area between the street and the private space or adjacent use.

v. To increase the front setback on a possible street designed to connect the subarea’s residential neighborhoods with the transit stop in Subarea 5, so as to provide wider sidewalks on this street, and greater visual emphasis through extra landscaping.

3. Pedestrian and Vehicular Access.

a. Intent.

i. To provide frequent pedestrian path connections to the Jordan River open space from the adjoining neighborhoods and commercial uses.

ii. To create effective links between the river open space system and other parks and open spaces internal to the neighborhood.

a. Nonresidential—Intent. See Section 17-7-9.4 (B)(1).

b. Residential—Intent.
