City of Arden Hills Chapter 13 Zoning Code <br /> <br /> <br />6. Standardized corporate or franchise Franchise architecture <br />identified with a particular chain shall be discouraged unless it is <br />compatible with surrounding architecture architecturally integrated into <br />the district and conforms to these design standards. <br /> <br />7. Entrances shall have convenient access to the street frontage and <br />to parking serving the use. For those properties along County Road <br />E, access to the street frontage shall be given priority where feasible. <br /> <br />F. Window and Door Openings. Commercial Façade Transparency. <br /> <br />1. Commercial Façade Transparency. <br /> <br />a) Fifty percent (50%) of the first level façade that includes the <br />primary store entrance and/or faces a public street shall be made <br />of transparent windows and doors that are recessed at least one <br />inch rather than being flush with the façade. If the building is a one <br />story design and the first floor elevation exceeds twelve (12) feet, <br />then only the first twelve (12) feet shall be included in calculating <br />the façade area. <br /> <br />b) At least twenty percent (20%) of all other facades that are <br />reasonably visible to the public shall be comprised of window or <br />openings. Simulated or opaque windows may be used on service <br />areas. <br /> <br />c) The City may consider a proportional reduction in the <br />transparent window and door requirement on the primary store <br />entrance and/or public street façades if additional transparent <br />glass is used on the remaining sides. <br /> <br />2. Residential Façade Transparency. At least twenty percent (20%) <br /> of all residential facades shall be comprised of transparent <br />windows or balcony/door openings. When necessary, opaque or <br />tinted glass may be allowed to provide privacy. At least twenty percent <br />(20%) of the remaining sides that are reasonably visible to the public <br />shall be window coverage, half of which may be simulated windows <br />(i.e. spandrel glass). If additional transparent glass is used on the <br />remaining sides, the City may consider a proportional reduction in the <br />transparent window and door requirement on the primary store <br />entrance and/or public street façades: <br /> <br />3. Configurations. The shape, size, and placement of windows and <br />doors shall emphasize the intended organization and articulation <br />of the façade. Windows and doors shall be recessed at least one <br />inch rather than being flush with the building façade. <br /> <br />4. Materials. Acceptable materials for window trim include anodized <br />aluminum, steel, wood, and clad wood. Door trim shall be made of <br />steel, wood, or clad wood. <br />Section 1325 General Regulations <br />Adopted: November 13, 2006 <br />Page 4 of 10 <br /> <br />
