Required Standards • Primary building entrances shall be clearly identifiable and visible from the street with well-defined walkways from pedestrian routes to building entrances. • Primary building entrances shall face the street. If the doorway does not face the street, a clearly marked and well maintained walkway shall connect the entrances to the sidewalk.
