Table 6: Building Placement
This table approximates the location of the structure relative to the boundaries of each individual
Lot, establishing suitable basic building types for each Transect Zone, except as further restricted in
the District at Mayfield by Sec. 4.4.4.
a. Edgeyard: A building that occupies the center of its lot with Setbacks
on all sides. This is the least urban of types as the front yard sets it back
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
_._._._._._._._._._._.a m
continuous with the yards of adjacent buildings. The rear yard can be
secured for privacy by fences and a well -placed Backbuilding and/or
i m
® i
Outbuilding.
i
I
b. Sideyard: A building that occupies one side of the lot with the Setback
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
m
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.
i
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.
p�
d. Courtyard: A building that occupies the boundaries of its lot while
i
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
i
defining the public Thoroughfare. Because of its ability to accommodate
incompatible activities, masking them from all sides, it is recommended for
I
workshops, Lodging and schools. The high security provided by the
E
continuous enclosure is useful for crime -prone areas.
