Mid-block access shall be provided by means of Paseos, driveway , Internal Street or Alley, <br />such that each building frontage shall cumulatively equal or exceed 75 percent of the <br />remaining site frontage. <br />A2.2 For sites ranging from three to seven acres (see Diagram B, following page): <br />a.

A minimum of75 percent of the site dimension along Public Streets , Paseos, and Open <br />Spaces shall be lined with building frontage. <br />c. If only one building is located along a site dimension , its building frontage shall equal or <br />exceed 75 percent of that site dimension. If multiple buildings are located along a site <br />dimension , building frontages shall cumulatively equal or exceed 75 percent of that <br />continuous site dimension. <br />A2.3 For sites larger than seven acres (see Diagram C , following page): <br />a . Mid-block access by means of Paseos , driveways , Internal Streets or Alleys, common open <br />spaces, and centralized publicly accessible open spaces shall be provided for each site <br />dimension along Public Streets, Paseos , and Open Spaces such that each continuous site <br />dimension is no greater than 400 feet. <br />b. A minimum of75 percent of the site dimension along Public Streets, Paseos, and Open <br />Spaces shall be lined with any combination of building frontage and designated Open Space . <br />A2.4 A minimum of75 percent of the total combined number of building and unit entrances shall face <br />onto Public Streets , Internal Streets , Paseos , or Open Spaces. <br />A2.5 75 percent of the length of each building frontage located on Public Streets, Internal Streets , <br />Paseos, and Open Spaces shall incorporate at least one of the following : <br />a .
