Pleasanton TOD Standards and Design Guidelines <br /> B2. Building Orientation <br /> Design Guidelines <br /> The intent of the building orientation guidelines is to provide direction for site <br /> planning which places active building frontages with entries, active storefronts, and <br /> living spaces along streets and pedestrian paths and common open spaces to <br /> provide activity, safety and security through informal surveillance, in these areas. <br /> B2.a. Buildings should face public and internal streets and paths whenever possible <br /> to provide an attractive environment for both residents and visitors, and <br /> provide clearly identifiable addresses for units. Building fronts should face <br /> other building fronts or open spaces whenever possible, rather than sides of <br /> buildings or perimeter walls <br /> B2.b. On retail and live/work frontages, a minimum 75% of building façade should <br /> be fronted with active retail or live/work uses. <br /> B2.c. On residential frontages including public streets, internal streets, pedestrian <br /> walks/paseos, and open spaces, a minimum 75% of building façade should <br /> be fronted with livable residential space. It is particularly important for <br /> building corners to be activated with livable residential uses (minimum <br /> residential depth of 12 feet) <br /> B2.d. On alley and surface parking frontages, active uses are discouraged but <br /> active uses are to be located at corners with public streets, internal streets, <br /> pedestrian walks/paseos and common open spaces. <br /> City of Pleasanton - 23 - ADOPTED 03/01/11 <br />
