Article III. Skywalks

Section 12.02.0476 Limitation on Permits
  1. No more than one permit for a pedestrian skywalk should be granted in any one block of street frontage. In cases of unusually long blocks, or unusual property or physical problems, two standard second-floor-level skywalks may be permitted so long as their combined width does not exceed ten percent of the length of the block. 
  1. Structures other than skywalks spanning public streets shall not preclude a pedestrian skywalk in the same block and such structures shall not be calculated in the ten percent limitation set forth hereinabove. In each case, the design review board shall carefully evaluate the need for an additional structure across such street and the location of the proposed pedestrian skywalk in relation to the existing structure with the intent of keeping the structures spanning the street to the minimum number necessary for a successful pedestrian skywalk system.
