Create vibrant ground floors,streetscapes and rights-of-way;provide weather protection;and promote safety and security. Intent. Design standards in this section are intended to foster vibrant, inviting streetscapes and sidewalk-facing ground floors and entryways.They are also intended to create buildings that are easily accessible to and provide protection from the elements for pedestrians. They also will help ensure that the ground floor promotes a sense of interaction between activities in the building and activities in the public realm. Building and site design should also address crime prevention through defensible spaces lighting, and features that allow observation and "eyes on the street." DDR2018-00004 Just Compassion PAGE 2 OF 4 • The existing building is located at the intersection of SW Hall Boulevard and SW Knoll Drive. The applicant is proposing to modify windows on the southern building facade,which faces SW Knoll Drive. The applicant also proposes to modify windows on the northern building facade,and windows and doors on the eastern building facade. However, the northern and eastern building facades do not front upon a public street. Accordingly,only the design standards that apply to the southern, street-facing facade are addressed below. 3. Windows. a. Ground floor windows for nonresidential and mixed use buildings: i. 60 percent minimum ground floor window coverage for street-facing wall (minimum window coverage includes any glazed portions of doors). ii. Ground floor window transparency. All buildings with nonresidential ground floor windows shall have a visible transmittance (VT) of 0.6 or higher, with the exception of medical and dental offices,which may have tinted windows. The applicant is proposing to modify windows on the southern building facade.Specifically,the applicant proposes to remove three (3) existing windows at the basement level,and replace them with two (2) new windows. Although the southern facade does front upon a public street, the subject windows are not located on the ground floor;they are located on the basement level.Accordingly, the standards outlined above do not apply. d. Window shadowing for all buildings: Windows shall be designed to provide shadowing. This can be accomplished by recessing windows 3 inches into the façade and/or incorporating trim of a contrasting material or color. Staff reviewed photographs of the existing building and the applicant's materials to confirm that window shadowing will be provided by incorporating trim of a contrasting material or color.
