Route 132 Corridor Report - Cape Cod Commission

Figure N: Proposed Development in Area D/Route 28 Access to Mall
This view looks north from the intersection of Route 28 and the Cape Cod Mall rear
entrance. It illustrates how the area could look with enhanced landscape buffers along
Route 28 and a series of pedestrian-scale buildings fronting on a revised internal road/
sidewalk network. The buildings are set close to the street and oriented to take advantage
of visual access to the nearby ponds and green space.
b. Building Scale and Height
Building footprints should range from 3,000 to 7,000 square feet,
but any footprint over 5,000 square feet should be broken into at
least 2 components to maintain a neighborhood scale and pedestrian
orientation.
c. Parking
Parking should be located to the side and rear of any new buildings,
but not between Route 28 and the buildings. In addition, parking
should not be allowed in the proposed green spaces adjacent to the
ponds, as illustrated in Figure I. This area should be retained as a
visual break from the developed areas on the site and should serve
as a visual amenity to nearby businesses. On street parking may be
possible on secondary circulation networks.
