Pace Development Guidelines

B. OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL LAND USE GUIDELINES

• Buildings over 25,000 square feet should have a lobby with seating located at the front of the building and facing the arterial street. The lobby should be accessible to persons with disabilities and designed so that the fronting street is visible to waiting transit users for a distance of 1,000 feet.
• Buildings should have a setback no greater than 150 feet from the curb to provide employees with more effective and convenient access to public transit. If the building has a setback greater than 150 feet, a bus turnaround facility may be developed to provide access to transit service.
• A bus turnout capable of handling a 40-foot bus should be located in front of any building that is more than 330 feet from an intersection, and generates large passenger volumes.
• Pedestrian walkways (sidewalks) should be constructed along the perimeter of all developments. The walkways should connect to the lobby located at the front of the building and to the bus stop area. All walkways should be accessible to individuals with mobility limitations.
• Near-side bus stops at street intersections should be designed with a concrete pad for a passenger waiting area, extending from the corner tangent point, back along the curb at least 25 feet and being complete between the curb and the sidewalk. Paving of the area between the corner tangent point and the intersection of the sidewalk and curb is optional.
• Parking spaces should be assigned for vanpool and carpool vehicles. These parking spaces should be given priority designation and located adjacent to the primary building entrance from the parking lot.
