A. 
Purpose. Design principles. Design standards for public street improvements for the Bridgeport Village Plan District address several important guiding principles, including creating a high-quality mixed-use area, providing a convenient pedestrian and bikeway system, and utilizing streetscape to create a high-quality image for the area.
B. 
Applicability. New development, including remodeling and renovation projects resulting in other than small form residential development, is expected to contribute to the character and quality of the area. In addition to meeting the design standards described below and other development standards required by the development and building codes, developments will be required to dedicate and improve public streets, connect to public facilities such as sanitary sewer, water, and storm drainage, and participate in funding future transportation and public improvement projects within and surrounding the Bridgeport Village Plan District.
C. 
Site design standards. Development must meet the following site design standards:
1. 
Building placement. Buildings must occupy a minimum of 50% of arterial and collector street frontages. Buildings must be located at public street intersections on arterials and collectors.
2.

3. 
Front setback design. For setbacks greater than zero feet, landscaping, an arcade, or a hard-surfaced expansion of the sidewalk must be provided between a structure and a public street or accessway. If a building abuts more than one street, the required improvements must be provided on all streets. Landscaping must comply with the applicable standard in Paragraph 18.620.070.C.5. Hard-surfaced areas must be constructed with scored concrete or modular paving materials. Benches and other street furnishings are required. These areas may contribute to the minimum landscape area standard.
4. 
Walkway connection to building entrances. A walkway connection is required between a building's entrance and a public street or accessway. The walkway must be at least six feet wide and paved with scored concrete or modular paving materials. Building entrances at a corner near a public street intersection are required. These areas may contribute to the minimum landscape area standard.
5. 
Parking location and landscape design. Parking for buildings or phases adjacent to public street rights-of-way must be located to the side or rear of newly constructed buildings. When buildings or phases are adjacent to more than one public street, primary streets will be identified by the city where this requirement applies. If located on the side, parking is limited to 50% of the street frontage. When abutting public streets, parking must be screened to the S-4 standard as provided in Table 18.420.2. All other site landscaping must be planted to the L-2 standard.
D. 
Building design standards. Nonresidential buildings must comply with the standards below. Residential-only and mixed-use buildings where at least 50.1% of the floor area of the building is residential must comply with Section 18.620.080.
1. 
First-story windows. All street-facing facades within the required building setback along public streets must include windows, doors, or display areas on a minimum of 50% of the first-story facade area. The first-story facade area is measured from three feet above grade to nine feet above grade the entire length of the street-facing facade.

3. 
Weather protection. Weather protection for pedestrians, such as awnings, canopies, and arcades, must be provided at building entrances. Weather protection is encouraged along building frontages abutting a public sidewalk or a hard-surfaced expansion of a sidewalk, and along building frontages between a building entrance and a public street or accessway.
4. 
Building materials. Plain concrete block, plain concrete, corrugated metal, plywood, sheet press board or vinyl siding may not be used as exterior finish materials. Foundation material may be plain concrete or plain concrete block where the foundation material is not revealed for more than two feet.

6.

Front facades. All primary first-story common entrances or individual entrances of street-facing dwelling units must be oriented to the street, not to the interior or to a parking lot. The front facade of large structures must be divided into smaller areas or planes of 500 square feet or less. Projecting features such as porches, balconies, bays, dormer windows, and roof pediments are encouraged for street-facing structures to create visual interest.
B. 
Main entrance. Primary structures must be oriented with their main entrance facing the street upon which the development fronts. If the site is on a corner, it may have its main entrance oriented to either street or at the corner.
C. 
Unit definition. Each dwelling unit must be emphasized by including a roof dormer or bay windows on the street-facing facade, or by providing a roof gable or porch that faces the street. First-story dwelling units must include porches that are at least 48 square feet in area with no dimension less than 6 feet.
D. 
Roof lines. Roof-line offsets must be provided at intervals of 40 feet or less to create variety in the massing of structures and to relieve the effect of a single, long roof. Roof line offsets must be a minimum 4-foot variation either vertically from the gutter line or horizontally.
