Per the 2012 Clarkdale General Plan: ‘The context of a place considers its history as well as its future.’

•Brick façades and/or partial brick inlays
•Clerestory windows
•A strong pedestrian connection to existing sidewalks or extension of the sidewalk system
•A main entrance from a public sidewalk
•Rounded arches
•Large storefront windows
•Varied roof lines
Where feasible, as determined during the Site Plan Review process, new development in the Arts & Entertainment District shall conform to the following standards:
•Place public parking behind buildings or participate in the development of new central public parking areas.
•The front yard setback shall be reduced to zero if the main building abuts a public sidewalk.
•Landscaping shall include shade trees along the front boundary. These trees shall be from the approved plant list in Chapter Nine of the Zoning Code.
All other development and performance standards are as found in the underlying zoning district. (Prior code § 3-16-3)
