This Flood In- surance Study is the minimum area of applicability of this chapter and may be supplemented by studies for other areas which allow implementation of this chapter and which are recommended to the Council by the City Engineer. 3. No structure or land shall hereafter be constructed, located, extended, converted, or altered without full compliance with the terms of this chapter and other a2-. plicable regulations. Violations of the provisions of this chapter by failure to comply with any of its requirements (including violations of conditions and safeguards established in connection with conditions) shall constitute a mis- demeanor. Nothing herein shall prevent the City from taking such lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation. 4. This chapter is not intended to repeal, abrogate, or impair any existing ease- ments, covenants, or deed restrictions. However, where this chapter and any other code, ordinance, easement, covenant, or deed restriction conflict or over- lap, whichever imposes the more restrictive restrictions shall prevail. 5. In the interpretation and application of this chapter, all provisions shall be: A. Considered as minimum requirements; B. liberally construed in favor of the governing body; and C. Deemed neither to limit nor repeal any other powers granted under state statutes. 6.

This protection is obtained by insuring that development does not create soil erosion, silting of lower slopes, slide damage, flooding problems, and severe cutting or scarring. It is the intent to encourage a sensitive form of development while still allowing for residential uses which complement the natural and visual character of the City and its- hillsides. "~ 19.17.020 POLICIES The regulations, development standards, and design guidelines set forth in this section are based on the following policies: 1. To minimize the effects of grading and insure that the natural character of hillside areas is retained; 2. To preserve the most visually significant slope banks and ridgelines in their natural state by providing for low density development; 3. To encourage variety in housing types, padding techniques, grading techniques, lot sizes, site design, density, arrangement, and spacing of homes and develop- ments;. .. 4. To encourage innovative architectural, landscaping, circulation, and site design; 5. To discourage mass grading of large pads and excessive terracing; 6. To provide for safe circulation of vehicular and pedestrian traffic to and within hillside areas, and to provide adequate access for emergency vehicles necessary to serve hillside areas; . 7. To take into account unstable slopes, or slopes subject to erosion and deteriora- tion, in order to protect human lives and property; FINAL DRAFT 0-196 3191 . -- , . . 11M DISTlUcr -19.17 8. To encourage design and building practices to assure maximum safety from wild fire hazard; and 9. To p. !Jerve visually significant rock outcroppings, native plant materials, and natural hydrology. 19.17.030 APPLICABILITY ~ This District is intended to be the approximate location of the hillside areas along the " foothills in the northern area of the Qty. The foothill area is defined as that area of 15% or greater slope as shown on the General Plan Land Use Plan map on file in the Depart- ment. Areas of 15% natural slope or less along the external border of the District at the base of the hillsides, as determined by the preparation of a slope map by a licensed civil en- gineer, may be excluded from the density and development provisions of this section. Those areas excluded shall revert to the underlying land use district density and development standard provisions. The standards contained in this section apply to all subdivisions, uses, and structures. within the District and are in addition to those of the underlying land use district. 19.17.040 PERMIITED AND CONDITIONALLY PERMI1TED USES Uses permitted or conditionally permitted within the HM Overlay District shall be the same as those for the underlying district. A Conditional Use Permit shall be required for all tentative tract and parcel maps and non-residential uses. 19.17.050 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUIRED A Conditional Use Permit, in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 19.;1 of this Development Code,-shall be required for all applicable uses and structures permitted in this overlay district except in-fill single family homes on existing lots of record which will require a Development Permit.

A lesser number of units may prove to be the maximum per- mitted based upon compliance with other hillside development and grading re:- quirements. 2. DENSITY TRANSFER Within a project, in the Hillside Management Overlay District, a density transfer may be granted when permitted development is transferred from one slope category to a lower slope category. In consideration for such a transfer of development, the allowable density of the lower slope category may be in- creased by 50%. For example, if density / development is transferred from the 25% to 30% slope category (from the above table) to the next lower category (15% to 25%), the allowable density of the lower category, 1.0 dwelling units per acre, may be increased to 1.5 units per acre. Similarly, if development is limited from the 3O'lIr-and above slope category and transferred to the 0% to 15% slope category, the allowable density may be increased by 50%, or from 2 units per acre to 3 units per acre. In no situation shall the total number of units permitted for any project exceed the number of units that would have been permitted without any transfer of den- sity. A project may transfer density outside the Hillside Management Overlay Dis- trict, if the project area is included in a Sped.fic PIan. A General Plan Amend- ment may also be necessary. Areas from which density is transferred shall be restricted from future develop- ment in an appropriate manner. . FINAL DRAFI' D-198 3191 . . JiM DISTRICf -19.17 3.

Ughting is an integral part of the downtown design concept and a major element in creating a unique, safe, and exciting night-time ambience. All exterior lighting shall be designed as part of the overall architectural con- cept. Fixtures, standards and all exposed accessories shall be harmonious with the building design, the lighting design and hardware of the public spaces, and the overall visual environment of the downtown. Obtrusive appearance of their setting should be avoided. B. Night lighting of buildings shall be selective and focused; overall ambient lighting of buildings is not desirable. Rather, lighting should highlight entrances, dramatize special architectural features, keynote repeated fea- tures, and use the play of light and shadow to articulate the facade. The creative use of lighting to accomplish these ends is strongly encouraged. The lighting of signs themselves will playa significant role in the nighttime visual environment. C. For safety, identification and convenience, entrances of buildings and parking areas shall be well illuminated. D. Vestibules created by recessed entries shall be illuminated by downlights. , E. All show window areas shall be adequately lighted employing concealed or baffled sources which will not create glare or uncomfortable visual con- ditions for pedestrians. ..

An opaque screen is intended to exclude all visual con-' tact between uses and to create a strong impression of spacial separation. Theascreen may be composed of a wall, fence, or densely planted vege ti ompliance of planted vegetative screens will be judged on the of the average mature height and density of foliage of the subject species, or field observation of existing vegetation. The opaque portion of the screen must be opaque in all seasons of the year. At maturity, the por- tion of intermittent visual obstructions should not contain any completely unobstructed openings more than 10 feet wide. Suggested planting pat- terns are shoWn in Figure 28-1.

The semi-opaque screen is intended to partially block visual' contact between uses and to create a strong impression of the separation of spaces. The semi-opaque screen may be composed of a wall, fence, landscaped earth berm, or planted vegetation. Compliance of planted vegetative screens will be judged on the basis of the average mature height and density of foliage of the subject species, or field observation of existing vegetation. At maturity, the portion of intermittent visual obstruc- tions should not contain any completely unobstructed openings more than 15 feet wide. c.

The screening requirements set forth in this section may be interpreted with some flexibility by the Director and Commission in their enforcement of the standards. It is recognized that because of the wide variety of types of developments and the relationships between them, it is neither possible nor prudent to establish in- flexible screening requirements. Therefore, minor deviations may be granted to allow less intensive screening, or requirements for more intensive screening may be imposed, whenever such deviations are more likely to satisfy the intent of this Section.

This Chapter is intended to prevent the expansion of nonconforining structures and uses to the maximum extent feasible, to establish the criteria under which they may be con- tinued or possibly expanded, and to provide for the correction or removal of these land use nonconformities in an equitable, reasonable and timely manner. It is hereby declared that nonconforming structures and uses within the City are detrimental to both orderly and creative development, and the general welfare of citizens and property. It is further declared that nonconforining structures and uses shall be eliminated as rapidly as possible without infringing upon the constitutional rights of property owners. 19.62.020 NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES A structure which lawfully existed prior to the effective date of this Development Code is a legal nonconforining structure, and may continue even though the structure fails to conform to the present requirements of the land use district in which it is located. A legal nonconforining structure may be maintained as follows: 1. A legal nonconforining structure which is damaged to an extent of 1/2 or more of its replacement cost immediately prior to such damage may be restored only if made to conform to all provisions of this Development Code. However, any residential structure(s), including multi-family, in a residential land use district destroyed by a catastrophe, including fire, may be reconstructed up to the original size, placement, and density. However, reconstruction shall commence within 2 years after the catastrophe. 2. Necessary repairs and desired alterations may be made to a legal nonconforining residential structure(s), including multi-family, located in a residential land use district.

Structural ele- ments may be modified or repaired only if the Chief Building Official determines that such modification or repair is immediately necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or occupants of the nonconforming structure, or adjacent property and the cost does not exceed 1/2 of the replacement cost of the legal nonconforming structure. However, improvements required to reinforce non- reinforced masonry structures shall be permitted without replacement cost limitations, provided that such retrofitting is strictly limited to compliance with earthquake safety standards. 4. Changes to interior partitions or other nonstructural improvements and repairs may be made to a legal nonconforming commercial, institutional, or industrial structure, provided that the cost of the desired improvement or repair shall not exceed 1/2 of the replacement cost of the nonconforming structure over any con- secutive 5 year period. 5. The replacement cost shall be determined by the Director. 6. Any additional development of a parcel with a legal nonconforming structure will require that all new structures be in conformance with this Development Code. 7. If the use of a nonconforming structure is discontinued for a period of 6 or more consecutive calendar months, the structure shall lose its legal nonconforming status, and shall be removed or altered to conform to the provisions of this Development Code. A use of a legal nonconforming structure shall be con- sidered discontinued when any of the following apply: A. The intent of the owner to discontinue use of the nonconforming structure is apparent, as determined by the Director. B. Where characteristic furnishings and equipment associated with the use have been removed and not replaced with equivalent furnishings and equipment during this time, and where normal occupancy and/ or use has been discontinued for a period of 6 or more consecutive calendar months.

The guidelines complement the m/lndatory site development regulations contained in this chapter by pruuiding good exmnples of potential design solutions and by prOTJiding design interpretations of the various m/lndatory regulations. ~ '. The design guidelines are general and mIlY be interpreted with some flexibility in their ap- plication to specific projects. The guidelines will be utilized during the City's design review process to encourage the highest level of design quality while at the same time pruuiding the flexibility necessary to encourage creativity on the part of project iUsigners. The design guidelines art form/ltted into two general categories; 1) sin~ily residen- tial and 2) multi-famIly residential. Each category is further divided into architectural guidelines and site planning guidelines. 11I.5ert Ili;hff' Jvere.., APPUCABl 2.

All sin~uy subdivision plans that apply for alternatit1t lot sizes will be evaluated using lI2jUidelines contained in this section with emphasis on the following criteria: A. Proportional mix and placement of lots B. Preserving of m/lture trees and natural fr/ltures C. Placement of dwelling unit on lot D. Preserving of views E.

All structuTe/ walls should have "relief' to CTetlte an interesting blend with Ia~ ing, structures, and the casting of shadows. The integration of t7aried texture, relief, and design accents on building walls can soften the architecture. For sloped roofs, both vertical and horizontal articulation is encouraged. Roof- lines should be representative of the design and scale of the units under them. Roof articulation may be achieved by changes in plane of no less than 2 feet 6 in- ches and/or the use of traditional roof forms such as gables, hips, and dormers.

A signifialnt difference in the massing and composition (not just finish-mAteriJlJs) of each adjacent house should be accomplished. One design should not be repeated more frequently than each fourth house. AITACHED DWELLINGS 1. Sin@ZilY attached dwellings should be architecturally articulated to proJect an image of customized homes. Preferred configurations include architectural treatment either as apparently large single-family units or as traditional rowhouses. ~ " o 2. Walls or other features should be used to lengthen the horizontal elements of elemtions and reduce the TJisual impact of garage doors. 3. Driveways should be grouped with a separating planting strip to pruuide maximum effective turf areas. 4. Garages should ha1Je a single-story appearance at the front of the building to allow a stepped-back architectural transition for 2 story structures. Garages must be set back from the street sufficiently to allow driveway parking without overhanging the sidewalk. D. SCALE Form and, scale should relate to the use of the structure as a sin /:) ily residence. Also, the scale of structures $hould be within a humA~ S() as not to overwhelm or dominate its surroundings. FINAL DRAFl' D-40 3/91 . E. MATERIALS RES1DE~ESIGN GlDDELINES - G19./U The choice and mix of materillls on the faa1des of structures and garage doors is itnpOt lant in providing an attractive living environment.

Material or color changes at the outside corners of structures give an impression of thinness and artificiality which should be avoided. Material changes not accompanied by changes in plane also frequently give material an in- substantial or applied quality. Materillls to be avoided include; metal or aluminum siding and roofs, reflective materials and finishes, and unfinished concrete block. Change in plane with change in material Recommended ..

G. EQlHPMENT SCREENING FINAL DRAFT Any equipment, whether on the roof, side of structure, or grountI, must be screened. The method of screening must be architecturally compatible in terms of materials, color, shape, and size. The screening design should blend with the building design.

I. GARAGE DOORS Garage doors should appear to be set into the walls rather than flush with the ex- - terior wall. Garage door design should be kept simple, clean, and unadorned. They are a 11IIljor trisual element of a home. Plywood is acceptable when 3 or more panels are used or when joints are sealed with trim.

RESIDE' DESIGN GUIDELINES - G19.04 5. Mln.TI-FAMILY SITE PLANNING Multi-fmnily and cluster housing bealuse of their higher densities, tend to generate large parking tmQS and a decrease in private open space. If not properly designed, parking facilities am dominate the site and open spaces may be relegated to left over areas, not re- lated to the structures or the people who live there. Residential developments surrounded by high walls, parking lots, and rows of carports along public streets are examples of prac- tices to be 1fDOided. Perimeter parking drives are discouraged because parking areas pr0- vide a poor image of a project and often function as barriers between the project and the surrounding community. The guidelines that follow are intended to help mitigate the ef- fects of these situations and to pruuide a pleasant residential enuironment within the con- text of higher density development. A.

To the extent possible, each of the units should be individually recognizable. This can be accomplished with the use of balconies, setbacks and projections which help ar- ticulate individual dwelling units or collections of units, and by the pattern and rhythm of windows and doors.

They should provide an open window with landscaping, recreational facilities, and project directories. SpeciJl1 attention should be given to hardscape and landscape. treatments to enhance the uverall project image. D. ENTRY DRIVES The principal vehicular access inro a multi-family housing project should be through an entry drive rather than a parking drive. Colored, textured paving treatment at entry drives is encouraged, however, stlJmped concrete is not per- mitted within public street right-of-ways. E. ON-SITE PARKING AND DRIVES 1. In higher-density projects, there are 3 means ~ accommodating parking: parking dri'De5, parking courts, and garages within residenti4l buildings. Projects with either long, monotonous parking dri'De5 or large, undivided parking lots are not desired. When cost consideratiOM preclude parking within residenti4l structures, dispersed parking courts are the desired alternative. 2. Parking dri'De5, when located on the periphery ~ a project, isolate the d/!TJelopment from its surroundings. Unless the new and existing ad- jacent uses are considered incompatible, the extent ~ perimeter parking dri'De5 should be minimized. 3.

Carports mIIY be incorporated with patio walls or used to define public and private open space, but incorporating carports into exterior project walls adjacent to streets is strongly discouraged. The ends of each cluster of carports should be landscaped. ,. PEDESTRIAN ACCESS FROM PARKING Landscape bulbs should, wherever possible, align with major building entrances to provide pedestrian access to the building entrance frrnn a parking court or drive.

OPEN SPACE lUsidents of housing projects should hmJe safe and efficient aJ:cess to useable open space, whether public or private, for recreation and social aJ:timties. The design and orientation of these areas should ta1ce advantage of avail4ble sunlight and should be sheltered from the noise and traffic of adjaJ:ent streets or other incom- patible uses. Required common open spaces should be conveniently located for the I1I/ljority of units. Private open spaces should be contiguous to the units they seroe and screened from public mew. Projects should luwe secure open spaces and children's play areas that are visible from the units. II IJ Orient project entry toward open space/recreation area. Open parking and carports should be clustered into parking courts. L. PLANTED.AREAS All areas not covered by structures drives, parking or hardscape should be ap- propriately landscaped. umdscaping is used to frame, soften, and embellish the quality of enmronment, to buffer units from noise or undesirable views, to break up large expanses of park- ing, and to separate frontage roads within a project from public streets. To aJ:- complish these design objectives, landscape elements need vertical dimension. 'ITees and tall shrubs are needed in addition to grass and groundcover.

SITE GRADING Site grading should recognize existing drainage patterns, and landforms while prwiding appropriate transition of architectural elements to grade. Site grading should also prwide for an uninterrupted flow of T7ehicular and pedestrian traffic through the development. The plan should direct and prwide adequate flow of surface run-off to catch basins while gracefuUy contouring the land to blend with existing conditions at the boundaries of the site. Street drainage should be collected in curb gutters. The use of center-swale drainage devices is strongly discouraged. Parking lots mJlY drain to a single con- crete swale at the edge of the aisle. Q. SECURITY Multi-family projects should be designed to prwide the maximum amount of security for residents and visitors. Parking areas should be weU lit and located so as to be visible from residential units. Landscaping should be planned and numr- tained to provide views into open space areas. 6. MULTI-FAMILY ARCHITECTURE There is no particular architecture "style" proposed for multi-family residential struc- tures. The primary focus should be on constructing a high quality residential environ- ment. The criteria presented here stri'DeS for this "quality" through descriptions and ex- amples of r1Pfllopl iate building materials and . ral expression. In general, the design of multi-family developments shou <iftJ.~ c tibility with the surrounding neighborhood.

RESIDE~ESIGN GUIDELINES - GI9./H A. FACADE AND ROOF ARTICULATION Separations, changes in p/Jme and height, and the inclusion of elements such as brzkonies, porches, arcades, dormers, and cross gables mitigate the barracks-like qruUity of fl4t walls and roofs of excessive length. S<<aru:Jary hipped ur gabled roofs covering the entire mass of a building are preferable to mansard roofs ur seg- ments of pitched roof applied at the structure's edge. Extremely long structur~, if they are appropriately articulated, may be acceptable; however, structures (includ- ~ ing garages and carports) exceeding 150 feet in length are generaUy discouraged. Structures containing 3 ur mare attached dwellings in a row should incorporate at least one of the follouJing: 1. Fur each dwelling unit, at least 1 architectural projection not less than 2 feet from the wall plane and not less than 4 feet wide should be provided. Such projections should extend the full height of single story structures, at least 1/2 the height of a IwtJ-story building, and 2/3 the height of a 3 story building. d-.

SCALE Because multi-ftnnily projects are usually taller than 1 story, their bulk can im- pose on surrounding uses. The scale of such projects should be considered within the context of their surroundings. Structures with greater height may require ad- ditional setbacks so as not to dominate the character of the neighborhood. l.JZrge projects should be broken up into groups of structures. The use of single . "mega-structures" is to be avoided. ~ C. MATERIALS Materials selected for multi-ftnnily projects should be very durable and require luw maintenance. Piecemeal embellishment and frequent changes in materials should be avoided. D. BALCONIES, PORCHES, AND PATIOS The incorporation of balconies, porches, and patios within multi-family struc- tures, is encouraged for both practical and aesthetic NIue. These elements should be integrated to break up large wall masses, offset floor setbacks, and add human scale to structures. Common exterior balconies and corridors that prouide access to units should not require circulation past adjacent unit windows and entries.

DWELLING UNIT ACCESS The use of long, monotonous access balconies'and corridors which provide access to 5 or more units should be avoided. Instead, access points to units should be clustered in groups of 4 or less. To the extent possible, the entrances to individual units should be plainly visible from nearby parking areas. The use of distinctive architectural elements and materials to denote prominent entrances is encouraged. FINAL DRAFT D-S1 3191 . RESIDE1DESIGN GWDELINES - GI9.Of F. EXTERIOR STAIRS Simple, clelln, bold projections of stairways are encouraged to complement the ar- chitectural massing and form of the multi-family structure. Stairways should be of smooth stucco, plaster or wood, with accent trim of complementary colors. Thin-looking, open metal, prefabricated stairs are discouraged. CARPORTS, GARAGES AND ACCESSORY STRUCTIlRES G. ~ , Carports, detached garages, and accessory structures should be designed as an in- tegral part of the architecture of projects. They should be similar in materials, color, and detail to the principal structures of a development. Carports may util- ize flat roofs but should not project above any exterior walls adjacent to streets. Prefabricated metal carports should not be used. Where garages are utilized, doors should appear set into walls rather than flush with the exterior wall. Their design should be simple and unadorned. H. GUTTERS AND DOWNSPOUTS Gutters and downspouts should be concealed unless designed as a continuous ar- chitectural feature. Exposed gutters used as architectural features should be colored to match fascia or waU material. Exposed downspouts should be colored to match the surface to which they are attached unless copper is used. Roof vents should be colored to match roofing materials or the dominant trim color of the structure. I. SOLAR PANELS Solar panels should be integrated into the roof design, flush with the roof slope. Frames should be colored to match roof colors. Natural aluminum finish is strong- ly discouraged. Any mechanical equipment should be enclosed and completely screened from view.

Placement of structures should consider the existing built context of the commercial area, the location of incompatible land uses, the location of major traffic generators as well as an analysis of a site's characteristics and particular influences. r A. Structures should be sited in a manner that will complement the adjacent structures. Sites should be developed in a coordinated manner to prcroide order and diversity and avoid a jumbled, confused development. B. Whenever possible, new structures should be clustered. This creates plazas or pedestrian malls and prevents long "barracks-like" rows of structures. When clustering is impractical, a visual link between separate structures should be established. This link can be accomplished through the use of an arcade system, trellis, or other open structure.

B. Height and scale of new de1Jelopment should be comptltible with that of surrounding de1Jelopment. New deoe1opment height should "transition" from the '. height of adjlUent development to the maximum height of the proposed structure. ~ Large buildings which give the appearance of "box-like" structures are generally unattractive and detract from the overall scale of most buildings. There are several ways to reduce the 41'fdTance of large scale, bulky structures. 1. Vary the plllnes of the exterior walls in depth and/or direction. Wall plllnes should not run in ~continuous direction for more than 50 feet without an offset. ( 2. Vary the height of the buildings so that it appears to be divided into distinct massing elements. 3. Articulllte the different parts of a building's facade by use of color, arrangement of facade elements, or a change in materials. 4. Use IIlndscaping and architectural detailing at the ground level to lessen the impact of an otherwise bulky building. 5. Avoid blllnlc walls at the ground floor levels. Utilize windows, trellises, wall articullltion, arcades, change in materials, or other feiltures. ~, A/I :Yt-rH.e-&rt!.. dud/"I1.$ ~",-,(d be.. arc-h.,'te.cf..;~ -frwe4. .

Building scale can be reduced through the proper use of window patterns, structural bays, roof uoerhangs, siding, awnings, moldings, fix- tures, and other details. 2. The scale of buildings should be carefully related to adjacent pedestrian areas (j.e. plazas, courtyards) and other structures. 3. lmge dominating structures should be broken up by: 1) creating horizontal emphasis through the use of trim; 2) adding awnings, eaTJes, windows, or other architectural ornamenmtion; 3) use of combinations of complementary colors; and 4) landscape materials. :::~:~::::::::::::::::: ::;::::$::::::::::::: ::::::~::::~:?:::::::*i :lit1~~ :~~!ll ~iif*i1l Storetront elements and pedestrian level details provide an intimate scale Form and texture should be repeated in a manner to provide Q sense ot unity within a large mass.

The provisions of this section shall apply to all industrial deoelopment within the Cily, unless otherwise specified herein. Any addition, remodeling, relocation, or construction requiring a building permit within any industritll district subject to review by the Development Review Committee shall adhere to these guidelines where applicable. 3. SITE PLANNING PRINCIPLES A. The main elements of sound industrial site design include the following: 1. Controlled site access 2. Seruice areas located at the sides and rear of buildings 3. Convenient access, 'Uisitor parking and on-site circulation 4. Screening of outdoor storage, work areas, and equipment 5. Emphasis on the main building entry and landscaping 6. Landscaped open space - . B. A TJtlTiny of building and parking setbacks should be provided in order to avoid long monotonous building fpcPdes and to create diTJersity. C. Structures should be located on "turf islands", where the office portion of the building does not directly abut paved parking areas. A minimum 5 to 7 foot landscape strip should be provided between parking areas and the office portion of a structure. FINAL DRAFT n-137 3/91 . . Unless there is a compellinq reason. these desiqn quidelines shall be followed. If a quideline is waived by the Development Review Committee; the Mayor and Common Council shall be notified.

Building setbacks should be prwided proportionate to the sade of the structure and in consideration of existing der1elopment adjacent to it. lArger structures require more setback arm for a fNzlance of scale and so as not to impose on neighboring uses. E. Placement of structures which creIltes VI'''''' tlmities for plazas, courts, or gardens is encouraged. Setback arellS can often be used to prwide space for pcztio aret1$. F. Where industrial uses are adjacent to non-industrial uses, NYI" VI" iate l1uffering techniques such as setbacks, screening, Imd lJJndscaping need to be prwidetl to mitigate any negative effects of industrial operations.

The parleing lot and cars should not be the dominant visual elements of the site. lArge expansive ptroed areas located between the street and the building are to be avoided in favor of smaller multiple lots separated by landscaping and build- ings. Angled parleing is highly encouraged for larger parleing lots which can ac- commodate one way aisles. B. Site access and internal circulation should be designed in a straight forward manner which emphasizes safety and efficiency. The circulation system should be designed to reduce conflicts between vehicular and pedestrian traffic, combine cir- culation and access areas where possible, prooide adequate maneuvering and stacleing areas and consideration for emergency vehicle access. Circulations routes and parleing areas should be separated. C. Entrances and exits to and from parking and loading facilities should be clearly marked with appropriate directional signage where multiple access points are prooided. D. Vehicles should not be required to enter the street in order to mooe from one area to another on the same site. E. parleing lots adjacent to and visible from public streets must be adequately screened from view through the use of rolling earth berms, low screen walls, chan- ges in elevation, landscaping or combinations thereof whenever possible. ParkIng _1houIcI be-=-d from public view. F. The industrial site should be a self-contained development capable of accommodating its own parleing needs. The use of the public street for parleing and staging of trucks is not allowed. G. All parleing spaces should be visible from the interior of the structures, especially entrances.

For industrial uses landscaping should be used to define areas l:ry helping to focus on entrances to buildings, parking lots, loading areas, defining the edges of various land uses, providing transition between neighboring properties (buffer- ing), and prOfJiding screening for outdoor storage, loading, and equipment areas. lANDSCAPE smACK B. LAndscaping should be in scale with adjacent buildings and be of 4J1J11I1pr iate size at maturity to accomplish its intended goals. c. Use of trines on walls is appropriate in industrial areas because such walls often tend to be large and blank. D. LAndscaping around the entire base of buildings is recommended to soften the edge between the parking lot and the structure. This should be ac- cented at entrances to protlide focus. - E. Trees should be located throughout the parking lot and not simply at the ends of parking aisles. In order to be considered within the parking lots, trees should be located in planters that are bounded on at least 3 sides by parking area paving. F. LAndscaping should be protected from vehicular and pedestrian encroach- ment by raised planting surfaces, depressed walks, or the use of curbs. Concrete mow-strips are required per development regulations between turf and shrub areas. e- ,. FINALDRAFT U-l41 -m& 3/'11 . lNDllS'TRLU. DEVELOPMEAsIGN GUIDELINES - G19.08 7. WAlLe; AND FENCES A.

In general, they should harJe a smooth te:t- turt fDiIIr. S4tin or fTilt finish and a color which enJumces the traditional character of the faauU. Their profile should 1M similar to the profile of the traditionJU material they replace. High gloss materials such as optU/ue glass and porcelain enamel should 1M used only within the storefl'ont opening. ~ "'. MilterWs suda as cedar shAkes, textured plywood, stone tIePIM', log paneling, stucco and plastic art not .."",v", ~te for use on traditional {penAIS for three rttISonS. First, these materiJUs often attempt to create a theme which conflicts with the traditionJU duzracter of the downtown. Second, these materials art USJUJlly not of a qutIlity - in terms of durability, finish and appearance - that is necessary to establish an image of quality and stability. Third, these materials often detract from the c1uzracter of the storefl'ont and the facade. They create a-confused and cluttered ..ppearance instttld of reinforcing the tradi- tional character of the facade. 5. WINDOW REPLACEMENT If a window has deteriorated beyond repttir or is missing, the replacement should matJ the original window. Replacement windows should always fill the entire window opening and duplicate the original patterns. For example, a double hung sash window should not be replaad by a single fixed pane of glass. Atloid the use of windows and shutters that are not in keeping with the style of the building. 6. DOOR REPLACEMENT 'ITaditionally, the entrance door was made of wood with a large glass panel. E1JerY effort should 1M made to maintllin and repttir an original door, if possible. MJmy original doors ha1Je been replaad by stIlndard aluminum and glass commercial doors. Although lacking in historical c1uzracter, they art generally unobtrusif1e. Aluminum doors and stmr./,'(mts azn be made more ""npKlible by painting them a dark color. An e:rposed aluminum surface must 1M cleaned and ",epartd for a zinc chromate primer or metal primer, followed by "f'f"VP' ~te finish coats as recommended by the primer manufacturer. New aluminum should 1M e:rposed to weather for at lmst two months before painting. If a door is to be replaced there art three basic options: .

In der1eloping a rl!JlT entrance to a downtown structures, a number of opportunities must be considered. In general, the rl!JlT entrance must respond to the same needs as the storefront only at a reduced scale. These include identification signage, displily, and a pleasant entry. In addition, it must also meet the service needs of the business as it has in the past. Since these two functions are often in conflict, the design of the rl!JlT entrance must be carefully plilnned. A particular concern is the storage and disposal of refuse. Trash cans, dumpsters, and other containers should be hidden from view whenever pos_ sible. Regular maintenance is of paramount importance. The design of a rt!/lr entrance should be appropriate to its surroundings. The visual character of the rt!/lr facades, alleys, and parking lots is a relatively casual and utilitarian one, especially when compared to the more formal street facades. In this type of context, a refined or grand design can look out of place. The design should be pleasantly inviting, but simple in detail. Any exterior plumbing, electrical lines, or other utilities on any facade in public lJiew should be relocated or enclosed. Unsightly electrical SeTlJices entries should be relocated or rehabilitated. Gutters, Downspouts, And Windows May Require Repair AndlOr Cosmetic Treatment. Rear facade Masonry May Require ReJnir And/Or Re-Pointing. Signs Should Be Modatly Saled To Fit n.

INFILL CD'N5;TRlIrT10'N The construction of new buildings along the traditional commercial street is a valid tool fur dt1tUT/tt1tUT/ revitlZlization. It is extremely importlZnt, however, that these new build- ings relate hannoniously with the older buildings which surround them. Since these buildings are often constructed on tNlCQnt lots, thus filling a "hole" in the street, they are allied infill construction. Visually, the design of an infiIl building, particularly its front facade, should be designed by repeating rhythms, cornice lines, window and door arrangement with the other facades on the street. It should "grow" out of them. The new design should not, however, duplicate the design of neighboring facades. RDther, it should be a contemporary design influenced by its surroundings ... a blend of new and old. The infill facade should not pretend to be historic by using fake "historic" detlZil. Pseudo-Classiall or Quasi-Mission elements are often used to blend a new building with older surroundings. This approach generally ends up only compromising what is authen- tically historic in the environment.

In most C/IStS, these buildings are either fast food restllurants, automobile seruice stations or the small strip commercial derJelopment. These types of uses are usually set btlck from the street and neighboring buildings to ~ allow for a 'lJisible parking artll directly in front of the building. lArge, freestIlnding pole "- signs often are pliu:ed ntIlr or at the front property line, so that identity of the business es- tablishment can be recognized from grtllt distances up and down the street. The shape of the entire building, as well as the applied architectural details, the type of building materiIUs and the bold colors of the signage, are designed to attract the attention of people in fast-11IOTling motor vehicles. Often the building possesses stylized roof and wall treat- ments in an effort to give the establishment a strong identity, and to stand it apart from . .{ surrounding uses. . .If.;.

Even the most carefully thought out sign rruzy be unattnu:- tive and a poor communicator because of poor color selection. Day-glo colors must be awided. E. Use significant contrast between the bat:kground and letter or symbol colors - If there is little contrast between the brightness or hue of the mes- sage of a sign and its bat:kground, it will be difficult to read. F. Avoid too many different colors on a sign - Too many colors uoerwhelm the basic function of communication. The colors compete with content for the viewer's attention. Limited use of the accent colors can increase legibility, while large aretlS of c(j",~ting colors tend to confuse and disturb. FINAL DRAFI' W-42 3/91 . .

Carefully consider the F"oportion of letter artil to croerllll sign background area - If letters take up too much sign, they may be hm-der to remi. LArge letters are not necessarily more legible than smaller ones. A general rule is that letters should not appear to occupy more than 75% of the sign panel area. L. Consider interior neon signs - Neon signs lend themselves to creative and exciting artistic erpression. The use of neon signs inside a storefront can be used to at- tract attention and create a special ambience. M.

Herbaceous and flat plant ground covers should be planted no more than 12 inches on center and woody, shrub ground cover should be planted no more than 3 feet on center. C. The spacing of trees and shrubs should be tlfJl"Of" iate to the species used. The plant materials should be spaced so that they do not interfere with the adequate lighting of the premises or restrict access to emergency apparatus such as fire hydrants or fire alarm boxes. Proper spacing should also insure unobstructed ac- cess for vehicles and pedestrians in addition to providing clear vision of the inter- sections from approaching vehicles.
