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, scale, height, roof forms, color, materials, orientation, and fenestration shall be consistent with Attachment A - West Point Mixed Use Concept Design including axonometric views, perspective views, three dimensional renderings, elevations, material boards, and guidelines articulated in the Community Design Guidebook.
C. Maximum Building Heights: 120'
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 13.11.200 of the City Code. (Ord. 21-06, 5-5-2021)
