• Buildings will be located at the street right-of-way line (zero setback), but also allow recessed space for outdoor dining and other street level activities providing some minor deviation for variety • Greater emphasis should be given to architectural elements, materials and other design features for buildings located at primary intersections, or where streets intersect with parks, such as the streets that front on or end near the Municipal Plaza.These locations can often be seen from several directions, perhaps terminate a view from a distance down the street or sit at a prominent node;They will likely become future landmarks or helpful orientation/wayfinding icons as The COR develops • Encourage both vertical mixed use (within each building) and horizontal mixed use (within each block)throughout this district • Include a mix of housing, civic, retail, restaurant, entertainment, performance and other uses that encourage a variety of activities throughout the day. • Minimize openings between buildings, although limited driveway access and some provision for pedestrian connections through blocks are encouraged-gaps between buildings to accommodate surface parking lots, greater building setbacks or other purposes are discouraged • Use recessed entries and windows to create street-level interest,variety and enhance pedestrian scale along street frontage .mt--'T '■..lip�' -�=w1 �f.� Icy • f � I Awning with accent �.
