Exterior building treatment (wall surfaces) shall be of brick, stone, <br />glass or any combination thereof, except trim and accessories may be <br />metal. <br /> <br />3. Materials and colors selected for any individual building shall be <br />compatible with other buildings in the GB District. <br /> <br />4. All service entrance areas, mechanical equipment and trash <br />handling devices shall be screened from adj acent building and off-site <br />visibility. <br /> <br />5. A "campus" plan arrangement is hereby encouraged and a <br />"signature" building is considered desirable. <br /> <br />E. Parking. Parking requirements contained in Section 1325.06 shall <br />apply.
