Design Standards — Section 1325.05 and 1325.055 A. Exterior Materials — Flexibility Requested The City Code requires that at least seventy-five (75) percent of the exterior building materials should be made of brick masonry, tile masonry, natural stone or its synthetic equivalent, decorative concrete plank, transparent glass, or any combination thereof. Trim and other accent or decorative features may be metal, wood, split faced block, EIFS, or stucco. Metals shall have a matte finish and have visible corner moldings and trim when used on exterior walls. 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. Building colors shall be muted. Recommended colors include browns, grays, tans, beiges, and dark or muted green, blues, and reds. Bright or brilliant colors and sharply contrasting colors may be used for only accent purposes occupying a maximum of five percent (5%) of building fagades. The Planning Commission should evaluate the architectural style and building character based on the quality of its design and on its relationship to its surroundings. Site characteristics to be evaluated for this purpose include, but are not limited to, building and landscaping materials, colors, textures, shapes, massing, building components, height, roof -line, and setback. A full plan set of building elevations is included as Attachment E. Staff have provided the review below on building materials as shared by the Applicant.

The Applicant previously requested for the brick veneer to be considered a preferred materials as the brick required by the code would be a clay brick. This request was approved as part of the flexibility in the existing PUD. The Applicant previously requested flexibility from the 75% desirable materials requirement on the south building elevation where there is an existing tall parapet wall above an existing overhang. The Applicant states that there is a concern about this parapet wall's ability to accept additional weight from desirable materials such as brick masonry, tile masonry, or natural stone. The approved south elevation includes metal panels used on the existing parapet wall and the materials for the elevation would consist of 63% desirable materials and 37% accent materials. This flexibility was granted as part of the previous PUD. With the PUD Amendment, the Applicant requests flexibility from the 75% desirable materials requirements on the west and north building elevation that were approved in the PUD. The Applicant is proposing to paint the existing concrete block exterior materials with paint on these elevations in lieu of the approved brick veneer, resulting in a reduction in preferred materials. The Applicant has noted that these locations are less visible to the public and the proposed paint would be a color similar to the brick veneer installed on the other elevations.
