TYPE ALARGE-SCALE STREETS WITHHEAVY THROUGH TRAFFICThe present building setbacks are onlysix feet from the property line. However,the sidewalk design standards call for aminimum 26-foot setback from the curbline. To achieve this, many buildings willneed more than six feet in setback. Furthermore,we suggest that the standardscall for physical improvements to thepublic right-<strong>of</strong>-way that could includelandscape or structural elements such asthe trellis system illustrated at PalmettoPark Road and Federal Highway. Thesection illustrates a facade rising 6 storiesat the first setback line with higherfloors slightly stepped back above that.This would create an appropriate scaleurban space for wide, heavily traveledstreets, such as Federal Highway andPalmetto Park Road west <strong>of</strong> FederalHighway.CurrentSetbackLine26' 7'7' 30'Cross-section <strong>of</strong> the proposed guidelines underType A.
