City of Oxnard | Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan A.8 Pedestrian Guidelines A.8.1. Sidewalk Design Design Summary Preferred Design While the width of the curb, furnishings and frontage zones may be adjusted to reflect the needs of the site, the through zone should always be at least 5’ wide in all locations. Wider sidewalks are appropriate in areas with high levels of pedestrian traffic. Discussion Sidewalks are comprised of four zones: curb, furnishings, through pedestrian and frontage. The curb zone abuts the street and provides a buffer between the sidewalk and the street. The furnishings zone lies between the through zone and the curb zone and provides a location for street furniture and other public amenities such as trash receptacles, bicycle racks, lighting, news racks, and water fountains. The through pedestrian zone is the sidewalk space for walking and is located between the furnishings zone and the frontage zone. The through pedestrian zone is the widest zone and should be clear of obstructions at all times. Finally, the frontage zone provides a transition between the building or property line and the through zone. The frontage zone may feature furniture and act as an outdoor extension of restaurants or cafés. Guidance Sidewalks should be • located on both sides of the street; • constructed of durable, slip-resistant materials, like Portland cement; • clearly delineated from zone to zone—furniture should not be placed in the through zone, etc.; • kept clear of obstructions at all times in the through passage zone. General maintenance should be conducted regularly to repair cracks and gaps and remove debris, which can present safety hazards to pedestrians. Tree Planting in Planting Zone Trees surrounded in paving require special attention in order to reduce future paving destruction and increase longevity of the trees. Canopy trees (as shown in this graphic) require an additional treatment in order to provide long term sustainability. The entire length and width of the “Planting Zone” should receive a 2’ depth of Structural ‘CU-SOIL’ as the planting medium for the trees. The CU-SOIL mix should extend from the curb back to the property line in continuously paved areas. Automatic irrigation and a 5’ X 5’ tree grate are to be included as well in this design layout. The exception to the use of Structural ‘CU-SOIL’ would be where palm trees are used. Palm trees do not require Structural Soil. 5’ X 5’ tree grates are required in areas surrounded by paving. An automatic irrigation system is also required. Alta Planning + Design | A-57
Appendix A | Design Guidelines A.8.2. Sidewalk Zones - Residential Design Summary Preferred Design If the area between the back of curb and the property line is less than 9 feet wide and no additional right-of-way is available, the planter strip should be eliminated in the interest of preserving a through pedestrian zone of at least 5 feet, with the remaining space functioning as a buffer between pedestrians and the street. In new residential developments (not on a primary arterial): 5’ minimum & preferred sidewalk 5’ minimum planter strip 7’ ½” to 8’ preferred planter strip Discussion Residential sidewalks are generally narrower than commercial zone sidewalks, and priority should be given to the through pedestrian zone’s width in residential sidewalk design. Residential sidewalks do include the other sidewalk zones, such as for placement of utility boxes in the furnishings zone, yet these zones are less prominent than in commercial or mixed use areas where furnishings and frontage zones may feature ample seating and amenities like newsstands. Guidance • In residential areas minimum sidewalk width should be 5 feet clear of any obstructions. A-58 | Alta Planning + Design
