•Woodbridge Design Guidelineh Chapter 5-Woodbridge Design Guidelines • Lower Sacramento Road, south ofAuQusta Street. In an effort to ensure future development consistent with historic site development patterns,buildings should be designed so that the first floor extends across approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of the parcel width,with minimum separation between buildings (e.g., fencing for outdoor seating, trellis/arbor) (See Figure 2). Outdoor spaces shall be designed to accentuate the edge of the street at the back of the sidewalk. Building_Orientation: In keeping with preferred historic development patterns for building orientation facing the street, the following guidelines apply: • Buildings shall be designed with the primary entrance oriented toward the street. The primary entrance should convey a sense of human scale by framing the space through the use of architectural features. • Direct access shall be provided from the sidewalk to the primary entrance of the building. Such pedestrian access should be enhanced with landscape and/or paving improvements. Recommended landscape improvements include potted plants and accent trees. Recommended paving treatments include concrete paving with surface finish and decorative scoring, tile or brick pavers.

Service Access and Equipment Screening_: To reduce visual impacts, service areas and mechanical equipment should be located out of public view (See Figure 3). The following guidelines apply:
