Ground Floor Conditions This diagram defines the required ground floor configuration for Beacon Yards. These requirements encourage walkability by distinguishing between “address” street frontages, some of which are lined with retail, and streets and alleys that accommodate service functions. Taking a cue from Melbourne and Stockholm’s code strategy, each parcel has a requirement for the amount of the street facade that needs to be ‘open and inviting’.
