6. Policy: Warehouse/Commercial Alleys
When feasible, public alleys should serve as pedestrian access links to commercial and residential uses as well as to provide access for emergency and service vehicles. Such settings should have a strong sense of place that is compatible with the historic character of the area. Landscape treatment of alleys should establish a sense of visual continuity with adjacent public spaces.
A. Develop alley elevations to create visual interest
1. Use varied building setbacks and changes in appropriate building materials to create interest.
2. Balconies, courtyards and decks are also encouraged.
3. Develop human-scaled entrances, using porches or similar elements to define doorways.
4. Secondary public entrances are strongly encouraged along alleys.
