Street typologies, as identified in the City’s Comprehensive Access and Mobility Plan and adopted in the Placemaking Plan of Rochester 2034, are a framework that recognizes how the design of streets and the public realm should be integrated with the design of sites and buildings. In the Draft Zoning Code, the street typologies primarily impact different dimensional and design standards in the Downtown Mixed-Use District. These standards can be found throughout Article 6 of the Draft Zoning Code. Outside of the DMU District, street typologies are relevant for certain design standards in other mixed-use districts (see Sections 4.4, 5.3, 5.4, and 7.2) and the Industrial District (see Section 8.4). Beyond those instances, the street typologies are meant to guide decisions that fall entirely outside of zoning, namely the design of streets and the public realm when they are built or rebuilt.
