and/or proportion Applies to all sides of a building facade facing
public roadways, that are visible from residential neighborhoods
or public spaces, or facing the public entry of an adjacent building.
Integrate at least one material change, color variation, or
horizontal reveal for every 12-vertical feet of building facade;
vertical spacing may be averaged over facade.

Use complementary material combinations that contribute to a
cohesive building design. Use materials from the following basic
groups: wood, masonry, concrete, stucco, metal, and glazing.
For buildings with facades that face multiple public roadways
and/or public spaces, use consistent material combinations,
material quality, and architectural detailing.
For all facade elevations in industrial districts along arterial and
collector roads or facing public spaces, use at least two distinct
field materials, colors, or material -color combinations on the
building facade (see also Material definitions).
For facade elevations visible from public roadways and along
primary building entryways, incorporate an accent material
on the first story.
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.
Where materials transition or terminate, provide detailing to
express the natural appearance of the material. For example, i
wrap stone or stone -like products around visible corners to
convey the appearance of mass, and not as a thin veneer.
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.
The use of vinyl and ordinary smooth face block, unfinished,
colored, or painted, are prohibited as a field materials for building
facades along public roadways, adjacent to public spaces, and
when visible from residential neighborhoods. Smooth face block
may be used as an accent material.
In Industrial Districts, untextured concrete panels and prefabri-
cated stee panels are prohibited as facade field materials facing
arterial and collector roadways, or public spaces, except when j
used with a minimum of two other qualifying field materials and
meeting standard fenestration requirements. Concrete panels
that do not exceed three (3) SQFT without a patterned reveal
or modulation break may be considered textured.

from a public street, public spaces, and pedestrian environments.
r 5 2A Use of subtle, neutral, or natural tones must be integrated with

I 5 2C or reflective glazing, must not redirect light towards roadways,
public spaces, or adjacent uses in a way which constitutes a
publir nuisance or safety hazard.

5.30 which does not create pedestrian, drive aisle, or roadway conflicts.

For industrial district properties, will -call and roll -up doors are

Use lighting fixtures that are consistent with other decorative
hardware on the building. For example, select lighting hardware
