H. Street Frontage Occupied by Structures. In the NWQ District a minimum portion of the street frontage of any lot shall be occupied by structures other than parking structures meeting the Build-to Line, as described below and illustrated on Figure 2. Frontage shall mean the length of the lot line fronting a street, measured at the minimum front setback, for interior lots; and the length of the lot line fronting a street, measured at the minimum front setback, between minimum front setbacks at the corner(s) of intersecting streets for corner lots. 1. Frontage Type A. At least 70% (seventy percent) of the street frontage must be occupied by structures meeting the Build-to Line. Other portions of a structure beyond the 70% may be setback farther than required by the Build-to Line. 2. Frontage Type B. At least 50% (fifty percent) of the street frontage must be occupied by structures meeting the Build-to Line. Other portions of a structure beyond the 50%may be setback farther than required by the Build-to Line. 3. Frontage Type C. At least 30% (thirty percent) of the street frontage must be occupied by structures meeting the Build-to Line. Other portions of a structure beyond the 30% may be setback farther than required by the Build-to Line. I. At least the first and second floor must meet the Build-to Line. Stepping back, or terracing, is allowed on upper floors. The Build-to Line may be met either with an enclosed building or an arcade constructed of the same materials as the remainder of the building. (2) Stormwater Treatment Requirements. In order to ensure ecologically sound stormwater treatment throughout the Northwest Quadrant, all development shall conform to a plan that meets to the following requirements to the extent possible, based on the recommendation of the City Engineer: A. The plan will include stormwater management systems for all new development that incorporate conservation development design and/or ecological stormwater management techniques. These techniques include the methods listed below and described further in the Northwest Quadrant Framework Plan: 1. Detention Ponds 2. Infiltration systems including trenches, basins, pervious paving systems, roof downspout systems. 3. Biofiltration systems including vegetated swales, vegetated filter strips, media filters, and catch basin filter inserts. 4. Multifunctional systems including enhanced swales and ponds and bioretention. 5. Rooftop collection and filtration systems. B. The plan will minimize total impervious area of a development by one or a combination of the following: (Underline reflects new language, StfilEetlifettgla reflects deleted language)
