A. Purpose And Intent: Architectural design seeks to add to community character while providing flexibility to avoid rigid uniformity of design. All elements including the scale and mass of buildings, materials, color, roof styles, door and window openings, and details should be responsive to functional architectural design and promote a cohesive design statement.
Building masses shall respond to "human scale" with materials and details that are proportionate to human height and provide visual interest at the street and sidewalk level. Buildings shall be reduced in apparent mass or articulated to avoid large monolithic, box-like shapes.
B. Architectural design, building massing, roof forms, color, materials, orientation, and fenestration shall be consistent with section 13.39.130, figures 2, "Denton Model Floor Plans"; 3, "Floor Plan End Denton Option"; 4, "Hastings Floor Plans"; 5, "Elevations 1"; 6, "Elevations 2"; 7, "Elevations 3"; and 8, "Color Renderings", of this chapter.
C. Maximum building height: Thirty five feet (35').
D. Roof-mounted mechanical units (including evaporative coolers, HVAC units, vents, etc.) shall be located or screened so they are not visible from adjacent public and/or private streets as well as from adjacent properties.
E. Buildings may be designed and sited to maximize the use of solar gain for energy savings, and shall respect the solar access requirements of adjacent (existing and proposed) buildings. Solar equipment is permitted subject to the standards set forth in section 13.11.210 of this title. (Ord. 18-12, 4-18-2018)
