§ 3.2.4.G. Colonnades.

1.

Description: The main façade of the retail building is at the frontage line and the colonnade element overlaps the sidewalk and encroaches into the public right-of-way. The entry should be at the same grade as the sidewalk. This type can be one or two stories. This frontage type is ideal for retail use but only when the sidewalk is fully absorbed within the colonnade so that a pedestrian cannot bypass it. Due to the overlap of the right-of-way, an easement shall be required.

2.

Conditions: A minimum depth is required within the development standards to ensure usability. The height and the proportions of the colonnade may correspond to the facade consistent with the architectural style of the building, provided a minimum of ten feet width clear is met in all directions while leaving clearance for a standard truck height. Soffits, columns, and arches shall be treated consistent with the architecture of the building. Maximum sidewalk width between curb and face of arcade shall be three feet, except at curb extensions provided at intersections.

Encroachments: Permitted. See article 3.0 section 3.1.3.
