94 ENVISION FRANKLIN | Design Concepts USES Uses Transitional Office, Single-Family Residential, and Accessory Dwellings. Individual buildings may include one dwelling unit and transitional-office components. FORM Building Placement Buildings and their main entrances should be oriented toward the street. Double frontage, reverse frontage, and flag lots are discouraged. The front setback for infill buildings should be within a range determined by the existing historic structures on the same block face. New buildings should not be closer to the street than any historic structure nor further from the street than any historic structure. As long as it is within this range, the new building will not be out of character with the rest of the block. If the same block face does not have any historic structures, then the established setback should be maintained. Side-yard setbacks of new buildings should be consistent with other buildings along the street so that the established rhythm is not disrupted. Rear-yard setbacks of new buildings should be designed to maintain privacy for both new and existing neighboring properties. Building Character New building forms should have single-family-style architecture, pitched roofs, and similar facade and scale widths in order to be compatible with the predominant character along the street. Building Height New buildings should be a maximum of two stories and should appear to be within one-half story of the established building height along the street in order to ensure compatibility. Lot Size Lot depths, sizes, and widths vary along and between individual streets, and new developments should be designed to ensure that lots are appropriately sized for each street and to promote contextual compatibility, but in no case should be less than 6,500 square feet. SITE DESIGN Landscape Infill development should have landscaping and street trees consistent with surrounding established lots. Parking Off-street parking should be located to the rear of buildings. Minimal parking to the side of buildings may be appropriate. Parking structures are discouraged due to the single-family residential character. OFFICE RESIDENTIAL
