Goal 4.10 Use proportional architectural elements and detailing to articulate façades, and contribute to an aesthetic building character with a high level of pedestrian design. Applies to façades: in development along public roadways, visible from residential development, adjacent to public spaces, facing public entries of adjacent buildings. Goal 4.11 Design and articulate architectural elements using proportions, divisions, detailing, materials, textures, and colors and appropriately integrate these elements into the building design. Applies to façades: in development along public roadways, visible from residential development, adjacent to public spaces, facing public entries of adjacent buildings. 4.1A Provide at least three detailing elements that transition façade material changes or integrate pedestrian scale elements, such as doorways, windows, or material banding, at the base of the building. Examples include but are not limited to: cornice work around primary entries, decorative caps on brick or stone banding, architectural canopies over entries, or decorative lintels above the first floor windows. 4.1B Provide building overhangs or other projections such as canopies which articulate the building façade and provide temporary relief from inclement weather. At a minimum, an overhang or projection is required within 20-feet of all public entryways, must be at least 3-feet in depth from the point of entry, and be least 6-feet in length. Entryways with vestibules or other permanent enclosed transition space are exempt.

Examples include but are not limited to: columns, quoin or rustication, canopies over entries, lintels, transom windows, or modulation of the roof plane. At least one focal element is required and must be accented with a unique combination of color, texture, materials, or modulation in the wall or roof plane. Goal 4.20 Building designs must not create blank wall segments when visible from a public street or public spaces. Consider the treatment at the base, middle, and top of the façade. 4.2A Use any combination of standards from Building Form, Architec - tural Elements, or Material sections to provide pattern, color, or material variation on all wall segments. Must not exceed 30-feet horizontally or vertically without building variation. Goal 4.30 Organize building service equipment, including, but not limited to, utility, service, and mechanical, away from building entries, roadways, public spaces, and, where appropriate, from adjacent buildings. 4.3A Use and integrate standards from the Architectural Standards Manual to screen and conceal service and mechanical equipment. Landscaping meeting the same intent may also be considered for utility meters and connections. 4.3B All ground level mechanical equipment must be screened to the height of the unit as viewed from the property line. 4.3C All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be screened as viewed from the farthest edge of the adjoining right of way.

Y N N/A ID #Description Comments Staff 5.1A For buildings with façades that face multiple public roadways and/or public spaces, use consistent material combinations, material quality, and architectural detailing. 5.1B For all façade elevations visible from public roads, public spaces, primary entrance(s) of an adjacent building, and facing residential districts, use at least two distinct field materials, colors, or material-color combinations on the building façade (see also Material definitions). 5.1D For façade elevations visible from public roadways and along primary building entryways, incorporate an accent material on the first story. 5.1E Distinguish field materials from accent materials through pat- tern, texture, or additional detail visible from edge of nearest roadway. Alternate masonry or material courses with relief from primary plane may count toward this. 5.1F Where materials transition or terminate, provide detailing to express the natural appearance of the material. For example, wrap stone or stone-like products around visible corners to convey the appearance of mass, and not as a thin veneer. 5.1G Non-durable materials, treatments, and finishes that deteriorate quickly with weather, ultra-violet light, and that are more suscep - tible to wear and tear are prohibited on permanent structures. 5.1H The use of vinyl and ordinary smooth face block, unfinished, colored, or painted, are prohibited as a field materials for building façades along public roadways, adjacent to public spaces, and when visible from residential neighborhoods. Smooth face block may be used as an accent material. 5.1I Untextured concrete panels and prefabricated steel panels are prohibited as field materials for building façades, except when used with a minimum of two other qualifying field materials and meeting all other standard fenestration and material requirements. Goal 5.20 Use colors that complement building materials and support innova- tive and good design practices. Applies to building façades visible from a public street, public spaces, and pedestrian environments. 5.2A Use of subtle, neutral, or natural tones must be integrated with at least one accent or field material. 5.2B Use of intensely saturated colors or fluorescence is prohibited as a primary material. May be used as an accent material. Note: For a complete list of all Standards, along with photo examples, see the City of Meridian Architectural Standards Manual.

Goal 5.30 Integrate roll-up doors, will-call doors, drive-through doors, and loading docks into the building design, and locate them in a manner which does not create pedestrian, drive aisle, or roadway conflicts. Applies to façades along arterial and collector roadways, and façades facing public spaces. 5.3A For commercial and traditional neighborhood districts, roll-up and drive-through doors are allowed when integrated into the building design, but will-call doors with roll-ups and loading docks are prohibited. Consider material variation and transitions, modulation, and other architectural features and standards for the design.

The restroom and concessions building will be constructed of integrally-colored structural concrete masonry with a standing seam metal roof. The form of the building is subtle and traditional with a hip roof helping to give the building a low profile even though the ceiling heights are generous with ample clerestory windows for natural lighting. Visual interest will be created with contrasting values, and textures. The walls will be a field of dark split-face block with accents of light ground face block. Bright, smooth Galvalume roofing and soffits will contrast the darker dull wall colors creating additional visual interest. The exterior materials will provide excellent durability and longevity for the Parks Department and require very minimal maintenance. Exterior lighting on the building will be recessed in the soffit to provide necessary lighting without contributing to light pollution. The picnic shelter will be rectangular in form, constructed of steel, with a hip roof resembling that of the restroom and concessions building. The steel columns will be adorned with custom masonry bases to match the restroom concessions building and to house electrical outlets. Tim Grissom, NCARB, LEED AP Project Architect
