INTERIORS

The first 10 feet of the premises from any storefront is considered the Control Zone. Essentially, the first 10’ of any area directly adjacent to a storefront is part of the Control Zone. Within this area, the design must incorporate a hard surface flooring material, gypsum board ceiling or alternate hard surface ceiling with recessed lighting, slot diffuser HVAC, and concealed sprinkler heads. Within this zone, interior layout must relate to a display-oriented presentation. A central focal point within the Control Zone is strongly encouraged. Full height display fixtures must have integral lighting designed within the fixture. Cash wraps, mass merchandising, and general clutter are prohibited within this zone.
