from the ‘shoulder’ are encouraged to reduce the impact on the street.
B8
Surface parking: discourage frontage and access along ‘primary’ street.
B9
Parking garages: encourage access from secondary streets and alleys.
Encourage street level activities and minimize visual exposure of
parking, with active space on the ground floor of a parking garage.
Upper floors of a parking garage should not be visible along primary
streets, waterways, and parks. Active spaces on the upper floors are
encouraged as a preferred design.

The internal garage ramp impacts the external appearance of the
building façade facing Federal Highway. Consider an architectural
solution that expresses the ramp outwardly, or one that encloses the
ramp within a perpendicular projection. Further, any treatment of
openings should include full screening.
Q6 Response to Natural Environment: Encourage architecture to respond
to the unique nature of the south Florida environment (solar orientation,
wind direction, rain). Examples: Open breezeway corridors oriented
toward prevailing winds; energy efficient glazing; above ground
stormwater capture and re-use through bio-swales and rain gardens;
solar roof panes/awnings.
