Applies to fagades of development along public roads, public spaces, and adjacent to residential areas. Buildings with rooflines 50-feet in length or greater must incor- porate roofline and parapet variations. Variations may include step-downs, step -backs, other modulation, or architectural OO 2.1A features such as cornices, ledges, or columns, and must occur in total combination for at least 20% of the fa4ade length.

Big box and buildings in industrial districts may limit applicable fa§ade area to 30-feet around public entries. Fenestration Alternative: Incorporate doors and windows for at least 30% of applicable first floor fa§ade, or suggest their inclu- sion using faux treatments that incorporate at least two of the OO O 3.3E following: material changes, reveals in conjunction with color or material change, qualifying modulation such as recessed areas, architectural trellis, awnings and canopies over access areas, detached structures such as pergola, or similar architectural features and details. Building roof types, forms, and elements should provide variation and interest to building profiles and contribute to the architectural OO Goal identity of the buildings, without creating an imposing scale on 3.40 adjacent uses. Applies to fa§ades: in development along arterial roadways, visible from residential development, adjacent to public spaces, facing public entries of adjacent buildings. For flat roofs, incorporate primary and secondary roof elements including but not limited to: multiple material types along para- pets, multiple parapet elevations with at least 1-foot change in 0 0 3.4A elevation, or modulation of at least 2-feet in the parapet, such as along entryway overhangs.

Applies to fagades: in development along public roadways, visible from residential development, adjacent to public spaces, facing public entries of adjacent buildings. Design and articulate architectural elements using proportions, divisions, detailing, materials, textures, and colors and appropriately 4.11 integrate these elements into the building design. Applies to fagades: in development along public roadways, visible from residential development, adjacent to public spaces, facing public entries of adjacent buildings. Provide building overhangs or other projections such as canopies which articulate the building fagade and provide temporary relief from inclement weather. At a minimum, an overhang or 4.113 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. Goal Building designs must not create blank wall segments when visible 4.20 from a public street or public spaces. Consider the treatment at the base, middle, and top of the fagade. Use any combination of standards from Building Form, Architec- 4 2A 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 I Organize building service equipment, including, but not limited to, 4.30 utility, service, and mechanical, away from building entries, roadways, public spaces, and, where appropriate, from adjacent buildings. Use and integrate standards from the Architectural Standards 4.3A 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 Goal Use complementary material combinations that contribute to a O5.10 cohesive building design. Use materials from the following basic groups: wood, masonry, concrete, stucco, metal, and glazing. For buildings with fa4ades that face multiple public roadways OO O 5.1A and/or public spaces, use consistent material combinations, material quality, and architectural detailing. For all facade elevations in industrial districts along arterial and OO O SAC 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 OO O 5.11) primary building entryways, incorporate an accent material on the first story. Distinguish field materials from accent materials through pat- O O 0 5.1E 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 OO O 5.1F 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. Non -durable materials, treatments, and finishes that deteriorate OO 0 5.1G 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 OO O 5.1H 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 steel panels are prohibited as facade field materials facing arterial and collector roadways, or public spaces, except when OO O 5.1.1 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.

Applies to building farrades visible from a public street, public spaces, and pedestrian environments. Use of subtle, neutral, or natural tones must be integrated with at least one accent or field material. Use of intensely saturated colors or fluorescence is prohibited as a primary material. May be used as an accent material. Materials or colors with high reflectance, such as some metals or reflective glazing, must not redirect light towards roadways, public spaces, or adjacent uses in a way which constitutes a public nuisance or safety hazard. 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 fa4ades along arterial and collector roadways, and fa4ades facing public spaces. For industrial district properties, will -call and roll -up doors are allowed when integrated into the building design, but loading docks are prohibited.
