Active Transportation Plan - City of Pomona

• Policy 6A.P3, which states, “Establish regulation that require development with
retail uses to feature pedestrian oriented shopfronts located along the sidewalks
of publicly accessible streets and pedestrian ways,” will ensure future retail
development will be clustered and face the sidewalks. For implementation purposes,
the City should establish minimum widths between buildings and setbacks.
• Sidewalks adjacent to business and storefronts make access more convenient than
those with parking separating sidewalks from entrances. This is safer for pedestrians
as well. Sidewalks next to businesses attract window shoppers and make for
interesting and pleasant walking environments.
Stores Adjacent to Sidewalk
Store with Parking in Front
• In main street environments a building entrance from the sidewalk shall be provided
at least every 75 feet where there are retail and office establishments. This will
ensure a pedestrian-oriented compactness.
• 6A.P11 - Require development to feature pedestrian oriented shopfronts with
primary entrances oriented toward streets or pedestrian ways
• Architecture that blends well with its surroundings brings visual and functional
interest and attracts pedestrians.
