MUN Design Standards | |
Building Facade Articulation | The entirety of street-facing building elevation must be articulated using one or more of the following techniques: (1) the building facade varies in color, material, or pattern at least every 40 linear ft. along the street, or (2) at least 20% of the building’s front elevation shall be set back at least 18 inches less or more than the remainder of the front elevation. |
Building Facade Materials | The entirety of street-facing building facades must consist of brick, stone, wood, or cement board. |
Building Rooflines | The predominant roof form shall be flat and parapeted. Vertically projecting elements or elevated sloped roof forms are allowed at prominent building corners. Roofs shall be considered a visible elevation and shall be designed with features, materials and patterns that reflect the character of the building. |
Building Corners | Building corners should be emphasized through change of materials or patterns, stepping back at the corners, building projections, or additional height. Where additional height is used as a corner emphasis, the corner may exceed the maximum building height by up to 10 ft. |
Floor-to-Floor Heights | For retail uses, street-level floors must maintain at least 16 ft. of floor-to-floor height. |
Building Transparency | For retail uses, street-level facades must maintain at least 50% transparency; for retail uses, street-level window sills shall be no higher than 3 ft. above the adjacent sidewalk and tops of windows shall be no less than 10 feet above the adjacent sidewalk. For residential uses, street-level and upper-level facades must maintain at least 10% transparency. |
Building Mechanical Equipment | No building mechanical equipment, such as HVAC compressors, heat exchangers, water towers, or exhaust fans, may be located within 20 feet of the street-fronting facade or corner. Any building mechanical equipment must be screened from view from any adjacent street using screening material with at least 50% opacity. |
Outdoor Storage | Any outdoor area used for waste storage or material storage must be screened from view from the right-of-way using 6-ft-high evergreen vegetation or a 6-ft-high, opaque fence. |
