No balconies or upper-story decks shall be allowed for a housing development unit, except for decorative/faux balconies without decks. L. Notwithstanding provisions in Chapter 18.84 of this title, if a housing development has stairs leading to an upper story, the staircase shall be fully enclosed within the interior of the housing development unit. A staircase on the exterior of a housing development unit shall not be permitted. M. Upper story windows located closer than 25 feet from and facing an existing primary residence on an adjacent property shall be located to maximize privacy for adjacent properties by using at least one of the following tech- niques: 1. The sill height located a minimum of 60 inches above the finished floor. 2. The location of the window is such that the centerline of the glazing is offset greater than 15 lateral feet from the centerline of any glazing on an existing adjacent primary structure. 3. Any window sash located partially or entirely below 60 inches from the finished floor consists of frosted or obscured glazing. As used in this section, frosted or obscure glass is glass which is patterned or textured such that objects, shapes, and patterns beyond the glass are not easily distinguishable. As used in this section, the 25-foot measurement shall be measured from the wall of one structure to the wall of the other structure excluding architectural projections. N. Fences, walls, hedges, and decorative structures shall meet the requirements identified in Chapter 18.84 of this title, except that chain link fencing shall not be permitted. O. Housing development units positioned along any street frontage shall meet the following requirements: 1. A minimum of one housing development unit on each lot shall be oriented with the front entry door to the unit facing the street. 2. Where the housing development comprises two side-by-side detached units positioned along the street frontage, each shall be oriented to face the street. Corner lots with two or more street frontages shall orient the housing development units to face each street. 3. Where two housing development units are proposed in an attached configuration on an interior lot, one of the two units shall be oriented such that its front entry door faces the street, and the other unit shall be ori- ented such that its front entry door is on the building side or rear facade. On a corner lot, it is encouraged, but not required, for the two front entry doors to respectively face the front and street side. In no case, whether on an interior or a corner lot, shall the front entry doors to two attached housing development units be located on the same façade. 4. A street-facing front entry door and landing shall be located between 18 to 36 inches above the existing elevation at the top of the curb. Downslope lots shall be exempted from this requirement. 5. Street-facing front entries shall be clearly identifiable and connected to the public street by a pedestrian path with a minimum width of four feet. 6. Street-facing entries shall provide either a porch or patio that is a minimum of seven feet wide and five feet deep. Unroofed porches or patios, with three open sides, may come to a point not closer than 12 feet to a front property line, or may not project more than eight feet into a required front yard or side yard on the street side of a corner lot, or to a point not closer than three feet to an interior side or rear property line, provided that the height, including railings, shall not exceed six feet above the grade of the ground at the property line. 7. Street-facing doors shall provide six square feet of glazing through any combination of door glazing, side- lights, or transoms.
