Section 15-215-62 - Large lot development(a) Purpose. This section establishes the standards for developing large lots, dividing them into smaller pedestrian-oriented blocks, and achieving an interconnected block network with walkable block lengths. The standards for large lot projects ensure that these projects promote walkability, pedestrian-orientation, and sustainability of urban and built form. Buildings should include massing and articulation that reflects a human scale, rather than large, monolithic, and repetitive building fabric.(b) Applicability. The following standards shall apply to projects on large lots.(c) Thoroughfare network: (1) Large lots shall be divided to create pedestrian-oriented blocks;(2) New thoroughfares shall connect with existing thoroughfares;(3) New passageways that are introduced shall be a minimum of fifteen feet wide between building elevations;(4) New passageways that are introduced shall be un-gated and shall be publically-accessible;(5) Each new block shall have an alley for service and parking access; and(6) Cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets are not permitted, unless they allow for future connections.(d) New buildings: (1) New buildings are permitted as indicated by the building types allocated to each transect;(2) New buildings shall have their principle entrance off of a new or existing thoroughfare or passageway;(3) New buildings with civic or institutional uses shall be located in central locations, and be recognizable and accessible to the public; , -.- ■ i ".(4) Buildings shall incorporate mid-block pedestrian passageways and courtyards at least every three hundred feet. Where passageways are utilized, they shall connect through the block, across existing alleys if necessary, to other passageways, to mid-block crossings, or thoroughfares for greater street grid connectivity;(5) When a building includes a courtyard, the courtyard .shall, have a minimum dimension of forty feet deep and thirty-five feet wide along the street side;(6) The required mid-block pedestrian passageway or courtyard shall not abut an alley; and(7) For large lots that abut other lots not subject to a permit application, an alley of at least twenty-six feet in width must be provided at the edge of the lot that is adjacent to the other lots to ensure access by vehicles and access to light and air of the other lots. An alternative proposal may be considered as long as it meets the intent of providing light, room, and air to neighboring lots.
