Trim and other accent or decorative features may be metal, wood, split faced block, EIFS, or stucco. Undesirable materials include simulated brick, vinyl or aluminum siding, sheet or corrugated metal siding, plain concrete blocks or panels, brightly colored metal roofing or canopies, pre-cast tilt-up walls, and mirrored or reflective glass. The Applicant is proposing to construct the building to match and complement the design of the existing buildings of Phase I and II. The use of similar materials and design features will seek to harmonize the development and maintain the City’s focus on high quality and timeless materials. The transparency requirements for businesses within the B-3 District have been considered in the development and the proposal plan will use opaque windows in the anticipated service areas. The non-primary facades will utilize rock face concrete masonry unit (CMU), utilizing colors consistent with the brick building material on the non-primary façade of the retail building in Phase II and the previously approved material in the PUD. The building would be 19 percent brick masonry, 10 percent glass, and 2 percent stone, for a total of 30 percent. Rock face CMU comprises 54 percent, Phenolic Panels are proposed for 12 percent and metal storefront is proposed for the remaining 4 percent of the total façade area. Examples of Phenolic Panels can be found on newly remodeled Target Stored as shown on the image below and in Attachment D. The Phenolic Panels are a flat panel reinforced with wood fibers with a decorative surface that is resistant to weather and sun. Building elevations are shown in Attachment E. The applicant has submitted a materials board to staff. The figure below illustrates the proposed building materials.
