The architecture of developments within nonresidential areas should conform to the following general design standards:
A. Use quality brick as the primary construction material, except that other approved masonry may be used in industrial areas; other appropriate materials, such as wood, stucco, EIFS, decorative split faced block or other materials, shall only be used as accents.
B. Use neutral colors for both the primary structure and roof to soften the architecture, with bold colors used only as subtle accents.
C. Create visual relief through use of glass, height changes, facade relief and other design features.
D. Screening of roof mounted mechanical equipment with materials that match or complement the primary structure, when visible from the right of way.
E. Be of contemporary design that fits within the context of the established streetscape.
F. Promote two- and three-story buildings to anchor the street and offer visual relief from the typical single-story facade.
G. Corrugated metal or preengineering metals installed with exposed fasteners are prohibited on any building exterior wall, except that:
1. In commercial areas, architectural grade metal and metal products may be used on the exterior of buildings and structures, and for rooftop screening, if incorporated into an overall architectural scheme for such building(s) or structure(s) on a zoning lot.
2. In industrial areas, metals may be used on additions to existing buildings where similar materials are extant.
H. All buildings on a lot shall be of similar, compatible design and materials. (Ord. 2009-34, 12-3-2009, eff. 1-1-2010)
