Streets are public spaces that are defined by a combination of the landscape and building elements along them. Except in the most rural conditions, buildings should face the street and in general they should be set back from the street by distances that are comparable to the setbacks of the other buildings in that neighborhood. In commercial areas, parking should be to the side or behind buildings so that the building can better define the space of the street and enliven the street with activity.
