(1) Purpose. The purpose of requiring public school and park sites to abut streets instead of the backs of lots is to support natural surveillance of public spaces for crime prevention, and to provide adequate public access to parks and schools. The standard ensures at least a minimal amount of visibility into the site for security, and the potential for a limited amount of on-street parking.

(2) Schools and Parks location standard. Public school and park sites shall abut streets instead of the backs of lots. This standard is met when a school or park site has frontage onto at least one public street for a distance of not less than 100 feet. The standard does not apply to private schools, parks, or open spaces.
