b.

Description. The Industrial frontage type must include, at a minimum, windows and a main entry door within the façades that face the Primary Street or Side Street. The primary intent of the Industrial frontage type is to ensure that windows are provided at the ground level, which contribute to a safe pedestrian environment. A secondary intent is to ensure that industrial buildings are compatible with nearby commercial, residential or mixed-use areas.

c.
