<br />District Design Guidelines <br /> <br />flush with the fa9ade. <br /> <br />Awnings or overhangs should be provided at entryways to provide <br />shelter from the sun and rain. <br /> <br />Exterior lighting for parking lots and buildings should not be <br />excessive and should be directed at their intended purposes. <br /> <br />Any multi-level building should distinguish the ground floor level <br />from the upper floors by use of these techniques: an intermediate <br />cornice line, difference in building materials or details, awnings <br />trellis or arcade, special window details, or brick corbels or quoins. <br />A strong base and top for multi-~~ory buildings should be established; <br />middle layers should be simpler. Detail should be an integral part of <br />the architecture rather than a series of applied elements. <br /> <br />Mechanical systems and service areas should be integrated into in the <br />architecture of the buildings. Garbage and recycling containers <br />should be fully enclosed and integrated into the architecture of the <br />buildings. <br /> <br />Business signs should be architecturally compatible with the style, <br />composition, materials, colors and details of the building and should <br />be an integral part of the building. Signs should be incorporated into <br />the facades of the buildings rather than extending past the roof line <br />and should not project more than 12 inches beyond the plane of the <br />fa9ade. Retail business wall signs should be located in a position <br />above the front window that is located consistently among stores. <br />Backlit signs should not be allowed on the street side of new <br />buildings with 100 feet of a public street. Pylon, rooftop and <br />portable changeable message signs should not be used. <br /> <br />Franchise architecture identified with a particular chain will be <br />discouraged unless it is architecturally integrated into the district and <br />approved building materials are used. Drive-up windows may be <br />allowed if conflicts with pedestrian traffic are minimized. <br /> <br />Truck docks and delivery areas should face away from the public <br />street and integrated into the architecture of the building where <br />feasible. <br /> <br />Lighting under a gasoline station canopy should not be directly <br />visible from the street but should be recessed into the canopy or <br />otherwise shielded. <br /> <br />5-10 Guiding Plan for the 82 District <br /> <br />20 October <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
