These homes address the street, with front porch setbacks as small as 10' from the right of way. This short setback, in combination with a compact street width, creates a comfortable, enclosed public realm for the pedestrian. Front yard fences or hedges that help to delineate the public space of the street from the private space of the yard are allowed.
Housing types are mixed, with each block having at least two distinct lot sizes.
Facades are encouraged to be located at the minimum required front setback and present a pedestrian-scaled street frontage. Garages must be either be placed at least 10' behind the facade of the house or oriented toward the side yard. In this manner, the impact of the garage on the streetscape is minimized. The detached garage allows for a slightly wider usable building envelope.
