(I) Architectural standards. Architectural standards for approval include the following items: rooflines and cornices, fenestration and brackets, shape and style of windows, shape and style of lights within windows, colors and finish materials. Exterior building materials shall employ a variety of textures and colors and window and door details. Desirable materials include brick, stone (natural and cast), wood siding and glass. Exterior materials that should not be used in large applications, but can be used as detail material or as a small application include EIFS (exterior insulation and finishing system), vinyl siding, asphalt or metal siding, composite fiberglass and reflective glass. Review of architectural concepts, colors and materials will be part of the site plan review.
(1) Additions to buildings. New construction, additions and modifications to buildings shall be harmonious with the historic scale and nature of other structures in the vicinity. Additions may be made to building facades not facing a street. Additions to a structure may be permitted except that additions to a structure’s facade (the front side of the building facing the street) may be made only when such addition adds to the historical or architectural value and significance of the structure. Items to be considered for site plan review include the following:
(a) Whether modifications are consistent with the existing architectural motif;
(b) Whether new exterior additions are constructed to minimize the loss of historical materials and so that character-defining features are not obscured, damaged, destroyed or covered;
(c) Whether attached exterior additions are located at the rear or on an inconspicuous side of a historic building and minimize, to the extent possible, its size and scale relative to the historic building; and
(d) Whether new exterior additions are designed in a manner that makes clear what is historic and what is new while maintaining consistent design motifs from the historical building.
(2) Constancy. General architecture, front facade and overall building appointments should be consistent with the historical buildings of the downtown Main Street area. As an example, a multistory, brick building with historically formatted storefront windows and doors with upper and lower cornices.
(3) Surface covering. Existing and proposed buildings may be painted or stained to be consistent with the majority of the established buildings in the area or which are consistent with a documented earlier or original condition of existing buildings. Surfaces which are currently covered by wood, vinyl or aluminum siding may be repaired with the same material as currently exists. Exterior color shall be consistent with the majority of the established buildings in the Central Business District. “Non-traditional” or “Non-historical” colors are not permitted. The use of paint to attract attention or advertise using geometric shapes and color, or is in other ways inconsistent with the surrounding architecture is prohibited.
(J) First floor. All new buildings shall have at least 70% of their first floor facade on the street-facing sidewalk as non-reflective/non-tinted glass. The use of reflective/tinted glass on the first floor side and rear windows is discouraged. Use of reflective/tinted windows requires Planning Commission approval.
(K) Pedestrian entrance. All new buildings shall have at least one pedestrian entrance on the front. Rear or side entrances should be provided where parking is on the side or rear of the building.
(L) Businesses to be retail and service establishments. All business establishments shall be retail or service establishments dealing directly with customers. All goods produced on the premises shall be sold at retail on premises where produced.
(M) Where business conducted. All business, servicing or processing, except for loading, shall be conducted within a completely enclosed building.
(N) Exterior walls and hiding unsightly objects. Exterior walls facing public rights-of-way, customer-parking areas and adjoining property that is zoned or used for residential purposes shall have a finished appearance, using the same materials as used on the front of the building. Wherever possible, meter boxes, dumpsters and mechanical equipment should be screened on a side of the building that faces residentially zoned or used property, or mounted and screened on the roof.
(O) Site design. The site design shall be sensitive to pedestrian and bicycle needs. Buildings over 6,000 square feet gross floor area must provide a minimum of two bicycle hoops.
(P) Additional standards. The Planning Commission may determine that additional standards are required to be harmonious with the historic scale and nature of other structures in the vicinity. To achieve this objective the Planning Commission may, at its discretion, add to or modify the required standards above.
