Sidewalks A-1 Consider the following three components in the design of the sidewalk area:

A. Building Entry/Public Space: This area furthest from the curb represents the interface between the street and the building, providing accessibility and visibility between buildings and the street. Building entrances may be
signified with architectural detailing, articulation, canopies, or signage. On active pedestrian streets, this area may include space for outdoor dining, displays (e.g. produce stands), and plazas. (See “Neighborhood Retail Overlay
and Neighborhood Centers” and “Pedestrian Priority
Zones” in Section I: Area Specific Guidelines)
B. Pedestrian Pathway: This middle area is the
unobstructed path of travel for pedestrians.

C. Landscaping/Street Furniture: The area closest to the curb provides space for street trees, landscaping, street lights, bus stops, street signs, benches, trash/recycle bins, bicycle parking, and other street furniture. This area also represents the barrier between parking or driving/biking lanes and the pedestrian pathway.
7 Revised and moved to Planning Regulations 9-4.708(a) Public Improvements (1) Sidewalk Zones. Sidewalks shall be designed with three zones, as illustrated in
Figure 9-4.709:
a. Frontage Zone: The area furthest from
the curb represents the interface between the
street and the building, providing accessibility
and visibility between buildings and the street.

Building entrances may be signified with
architectural detailing, articulation, canopies, or
signage. Within the Neighborhood Retail
Overlay, Neighborhood Centers, and Pedestrian
Priority Zones, this area may include space for
outdoor dining, displays (e.g., produce stands),
landscaping, and/or plazas. It is measured to
face of building.
b. Pedestrian Pathway: This middle area is
the unobstructed path of travel for pedestrians.
c. Curbside Zone: The area closest to the
curb provides space for street trees,
landscaping, street lights, bus stops, street
signs, benches, trash/recycle bins, bicycle
parking, and other street furniture. This area
also represents the barrier between parking or
driving/biking lanes and the pedestrian pathway.

It is measured to face of curb.

N/A
Sidewalks A-2 Maintain an unobstructed pedestrian pathway of a minimum of six feet in the Eastern Residential
Neighborhoods (Triangle and Doyle Street neighborhoods) and 7.5 feet on all other streets in the city. For sites within a Regional Retail Overlay, Neighborhood
Center/Neighborhood Retail Overlay, Greenway, Green
Street, Pedestrian Priority Zone, or Eastern Residential Neighborhood area, additional sidewalk corridor guidelines are provided in Section I: Area Specific Guidelines.

14 B-5 Design structured parking as an integral part of the project it serves, consistent in style and materials with the rest of the project. This will enhance the visual interest of the parking structure and reduce its apparent mass at the
ground level. This can be achieved through some or all of the following means:
· Use the same cadence of windows and massing as in
adjoining or adjacent buildings.
· Compose openings within the parking structure façade to appear similar to well-proportioned windows rather than continuous open strips.
· Use contrasting, high-quality materials that generate a multi-layered façade (for example glass, perforated metal, or decorative screens).
· Employ landscaping (such as green screen, vines, or
landscaped trellis) as a screening, as long as it is
compatible with building design.
· Emphasize stair towers and pedestrian entries as
identifying architectural elements.

Site Planning C-6 Conceal all mechanical, electrical, and other building equipment from the public right-of- way and from other
existing buildings, where feasible. Use screening materials and other buffers to minimize noise and visual impacts. Mechanical equipment should not be located along the ground floor street frontage.
14 Redundant with Planning Regulations 9-4.507 Screening of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment
All mechanical equipment, including electrical
and gas meters; heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning units; radio/TV antennas; satellite
dishes; and all roof mounted mechanical
equipment shall be visually and acoustically
screened in such a manner so that it is not
visible from an adjacent property at or below the
level of the mechanical equipment, or from a
public sidewalk on either side of any street
adjacent to the site, and so that it complies with
the performance standards for noise at Section
9-5.1109. Electrical transformers and other
utility boxes shall be either placed underground
or appropriately screened.

D-6 Incorporate a distinguishable base, middle, and top for all buildings of five stories or more:
· Distinguish the base of the building through the use of materials, massing, or articulation of the façade. The base of a building should address the street through entries, fenestration, articulation and build- ing orientation.
· Step the middle of a building back from the base. The middle should be more slender and less bulky than the base and also differentiated through architectural elements and materials.
· Design buildings with a solid top or other distinguishing features to signify the end
of the building; this does not require an actual stepback, but articulation through use of materials or façade rhythm.

Reserve a portion of the top habitable floor and penthouse for mechanical and other equipment. Alternatively, shield equipment from view, from taller adjacent buildings, with a parapet and appropriate screening.
· Reduce the apparent bulk of a building by breaking it into smaller masses that correspond to the internal function of the build- ing (e.g. through changes in materials, colors, or fenestration) and through changes in roof heights and
vertical planes.
18 Revised and moved to Planning Regulations 9-4.202(f)(1) Height and Bulk Vertical Articulation: For buildings 5 stories or more, incorporate a base, middle, and top. The base is the first one to three floors and is

· Use awnings and over-hangs to provide shelter and
shade over the sidewalk along pedestrian-oriented retail streets and to enhance the pedestrian realm. Awnings
should be made of durable, high quality materials and
should not interfere with the tree canopy.
· Employ variations in floor level, façades (such as shallow recesses at entries, roof styles, architectural details), and finishes that break up the appearance of large buildings. · Use horizontal articulation, such as

Signs H-1 Architectural Compatibility
· Signs (including supporting structures, if any) should be designed as an integral design element of a building’s
architecture and should be architecturally compatible,
including color and scale, with the building and
surrounding structures.
· A sign that covers a window or that spills over “natural” boundaries or architectural features and obscures parts of upper floors of buildings is detrimental to visual order and should be avoided.
· Signs above the first story should not obstruct views from inside or outside upper stories. Lighted signs should not illuminate upper stories; instead, illumination should focus on the sign itself or downward toward the sidewalk.

Signs H-2 Consistency with Area Character
· Signs should employ designs, features, materials, and colors that are consistent with the scale and character of the district they are located within.
· Where a sign is located in close proximity to a residential area, the sign should be designed and located so it has little or no impact on adjacent residential neighborhoods. · Freeway-oriented signs should be sited and spaced to
avoid an overabundance of such signs and close proximity to residential neighborhoods.
34 Removed
Signs H-3 Legibility and Readability
· The size and proportion of the elements of the sign’s message, including logos, letters, icons, and other graphic images, should be selected based on the anticipated
distance and travel speed of the viewer. Sign messages
oriented towards pedestrians should be smaller than those oriented towards automobile drivers.
· Colors chosen for the sign text and/or graphics should have sufficient contrast with the sign background in order to be easily read during both day and night hours.
· High quality materials should be used, such as finished wood, metal, and woven fabric.
· Design signs to be readable, unambiguous, and concise, so that a viewer can understand or make sense of what
appears on the sign. Excessive use of large areas of
several colors can create competition for the eye and
significantly reduce readability.
36 Removed
Signs H-4 Visibility
· Ensure that signs are visible and readily distinguishable from their surroundings. Projecting signs should be
regulated so that they do not obstruct each other.
· Provide sign illumination appropriate to the building design and location. Discourage any sign that, because of brilliant interior or exterior lighting, interferes with the enjoy- ment of surrounding property, residential units (in case of a mixed-use building) or traffic.

Construct entries from the public street. Provide a plaza at the entry to each anchor tenant that provides for pedestrian circula- tion. Entry plazas and passenger loading areas should include distinctive paving materials, seating, shade from the summer sun, and attractive landscaping. 5 9MovedandmodifiedtoJ-22 Industrial J-9 Adaptively reuse older industrial struc- tures that contribute to Emeryville’s charac- ter, where feasible; if reuse of entire structure is not feasible, incorporate features of older buildings to enhance visual richness and con- nections to the past. 60 Removed Industrial J-10 Use materials and architectural features that respect existing industrial style and character. 60 Removed Industrial J-11 Use landscaping to buffer visual impacts and changes in use, particularly in transition zones between commercial or industrial and resi- dential uses. Window design and ground-floor entries should maximize pedestrian safety and visibility. 60 Removed Industrial J-12 Minimize noise impacts, especially on sur- rounding residential uses, through the following means: · Control noises at the source through buffer- ing, dampening, or active cancellation tech- niques. (This is the most desirable means of noise reduction.) · Control noises at the receptor ends through setbacks, soundproof windows, screen- ing, and berming. Avoid using sound walls which often restrict access and visibility. 60 Removed J-13 Orient primary building entries toward the street, with attractive pedestrian walkways to the sidewalk. 62 Removed J-14 Line street- and plaza-facing façades with win- dows. 62 Removed Civic and Pub Civic and Pub Original
