This is the least urban of types as the front yard sets it back ! m from the Frontage, while the side yards weaken the spatial definition of I the public Thoroughfare space. The front yard is intended to be visually ....... m continuous with the yards adjacent buildings. The rear yard can secured for privacy by fences and swell -placed Backbuilding and/or ! I m Outbuilding. b. Sideyard: A building that occupies one side of the lot with the Setback j m to the other side. A shallow Frontage Setback defines a more urban condition. If the adjacent building is similar with a blank side wall, the yard can be quite private. This type permits systematic climatic orientation in response to the sun or the breeze. Energy costs, and sometimes noise, are i reduced by sharing a party wall in this disposition. c. Rearyard: A building that occupies the full Frontage, leaving the rear of the lot as the sole yard. This is a very urban type as the continuous Facade steadily defines the public Thoroughfare. The rear Elevations may be articulated for functional purposes. In its Residential form, this type is the Townhouse. For its Commercial form, the rear yard can accommodate substantial parking. d. Courtyard: A building that occupies the boundaries of its lot while internally defining one or more private patios. This is the most urban of types, as it is able to shield the private realm from all sides while strongly defining the public Thoroughfare. Because of its ability to accommodate incompatible activities, masking them from all sides, it is recommended for workshops, Lodging and schools. The high security provided by the continuous enclosure is useful for crime -prone areas.
