Interior public spaces may not be used to meet minimum open area requirements except that, if a site has interior pedestrian areas for public use that exceed 10,000 square feet, one-half of the floor area devoted to pedestrian use may be credited toward the minimum open area requirements.
(b) Purpose of open areas. All open areas shall be designed and improved to enhance pedestrian circulation areas and to provide effective buffers and visual relief between roads, parking, and buildings.
(c) Walkways. Pedestrian walkways shall be provided:
(1) within open areas;
(2) within the right-of-way of a road or the abutting open areas when required by the Office of Planning and Zoning;
(3) along internal major driveways leading from public roads to onsite uses, structures, or plazas; and
(4) for access between parking areas and structures or uses on the site and to adjoining properties.
