Design Concepts | ENVISION FRANKLIN 35 USES Primary Single-Family Residential Secondary Duplexes, Live-Work Units, Accessory Dwellings, and Institutional (See Special Consideration) Local Commercial uses may be appropriate at intersections and at locations that have historically been commercial uses that served the surrounding neighborhood. FORM Building Placement Buildings and their main entrances should be oriented toward the street, and buildings should have shallow front, side, and rearyard setbacks. Double frontage, reverse frontage, and flag lots are discouraged. Cottage court designs, where several cottages front a common open space, are also appropriate as a part of the overall development. Building Character The historic identity of the area should be preserved through special attention to massing and scale of new development. New buildings should have a cottage building form designed to be compatible with the predominant character along the street and should be sensitive to nearby buildings. Accessory dwellings should fit in contextually to the principal dwelling. Building Height New buildings should appear to be within one-half story of the average building height of existing structures along the same block face. In no case should the building height exceed two stories. New two-story dwellings should not detract or overwhelm the existing historic structures. Lot Size Lot depths, sizes, and widths vary between streets, as well as along individual streets, and should be designed to ensure that new lots are appropriately sized for each street and to promote contextual compatibility. Minimum of 4,000 square feet SITE DESIGN Landscape Infill development should have landscaping and street trees. Amenities Institutional uses and public parks serve as active and passive recreation and meet the open-space needs in this area. Bicycle and pedestrian connections to these locations should be enhanced and improved. Parking On-street and off-street COMPACT RESIDENTIAL
