(4) Wherever practicable, spaces between adjoining pad site buildings should be improved to provide small pockets (preferably heavily landscaped) of customer parking, pedestrian connections, small-scale project amenities, or focal points. Examples include but are not limited to: (a) A landscaped pedestrian walkway linking customer entrances between two or more pad site buildings; (b) A public seating or outdoor eating area; (c) An area landscaped with a variety of plant materials; or (d) Sculptures or fountains. (5) All facades of a building located on a pad site shall be treated as a primary facade to provide consistent and uninterrupted architectural detailing and styling on all sides. The facade containing the primary customer entrance may be oriented in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, toward the primary access street, toward an internal "main street," framing a primary entrance to the development or center, toward the side (especially when that side faces another pad site building), or toward the interior of the development. (6) Pad site entrances are appropriate locations to express individual building character or identity. Customer entrances shall be emphasized through incorporation of a building recess, projection, canopy, or similar design element. D. Freestanding kiosks and automated teller machine (ATM) structures for financial institutions. (1) All kiosk-type buildings and structures shall be integrated with the overall development, and shall be subject to the same guidelines as all other buildings within the development. (2) Freestanding kiosks and drive-up ATM structures shall not be located along the primary access street frontage. (3) Access to a freestanding kiosk or drive-up ATM structure shall not be from the adjacent public streets. Access shall be from drives and streets internal to the development. (4) Freestanding kiosks and drive-up ATM structures shall comply with the building design standards applicable to pad sites set forth in Subsection C. E. Pedestrian access and circulation. An on-site system of pedestrian accommodations shall be designed to provide direct access and connections between primary entrances, exits, sidewalks, walkways, adjacent land uses, and adjacent public spaces where appropriate. The following regulations shall also apply: (1) Pedestrian access and circulation patterns shall be shielded and separated from vehicular patterns where possible. (2) Designated crosswalks shall be located between primary building entrances and exits as well as parking facilities. (3) Sidewalks and walkways shall be constructed along the entire frontage length at a minimum width of five feet or consistent with adjacent sidewalk widths, or wider at the discretion of the Planning Board based on anticipated pedestrian volumes. (4) Sidewalks and walkways shall be constructed to provide access from principal building entrances to the sidewalk system. (5) Where possible, sidewalks and walkways shall traverse parking lot medians and islands to permit safe and efficient pedestrian travel from parked vehicles to building entrances. (6) Safe, convenient, and efficient pedestrian circulation patterns shall be provided between structures in a multiple structure development.
