Drainage and stormwater management infrastructure and designated snow storage areas may not overlap with or impede the use of accessible spaces, transit stops, sidewalks, or other pedestrian access areas. C. Parking lots must incorporate drainage standards to reduce non-point source pollution and improve snow melt footprint to reduce salting. Drainage should also include infiltration and/or natural treatment processes prior to outflow to creek, stream, wetland or other area. (14) Parking Structure Design.

Parking garage design should be compatible with adjacent buildings in terms of form, massing, scale, materials, and façade articulation.

Spandrel panels or opaque screening systems, such as louvers, at least thirty-six (36) inches in height shall be used to screen vehicles from view on all levels. C. Any parking garage façade that is visible from public view shall be designed such that the internal ramping system is not visible. D. Wherever possible, especially for parking garage façades that face a public street, the ground floor of the parking structure should incorporate retail, commercial, or other nonresidential uses to help activate the street. E. Any ground-level façade of a parking garage that is visible from the street and does not provide retail, commercial, or other active ground floor uses shall include at least two (2) of the following design features: 1. Façade articulation through change in vertical plane or a change in building material. 2. The use of windows or false windows defined by frames, lintels, or sills. 3. Integration of multiple building entrances. 4. Buffering along the street edge with landscaping, street trees, green walls, or trellises with vines. F. Vehicular entrances to buildings and parking garages that contain a ramp shall be screened from view of the street or adjacent public space in as much as possible. Where a vehicular entrance or ramp directly abuts a pedestrian walk, appropriate cautionary signs shall be used to alert pedestrians of the presence of vehicles and to inform drivers that pedestrians have the priority.
