Intent:
Canopies, awnings and similar features that create shade, protect buildings and users from the elements and physically and visually identify points of entry are encouraged.
Guidelines:
All building façades with an entrance fronting a street should provide an overhead canopy, enclosure or other building projection or recess designed as an integral part of the building entrance as follows:
1. Canopies should be of a color and texture that compliments the architectural design of the façade.
2. Canopies should be open to light and air and provide a transition from outdoor space to indoor space.
3. Canopies should be constructed of durable, low maintenance materials that provide weather and sun protection. Fabric, plastic or other non-durable materials should be maintained in “like-new” condition.
