2. Trim and other accent or decorative features may be metal, wood, or EIFS. Other high- quality materials that increase the variety and appeal of buildings may be considered as accents. Metals shall have a matte finish and neutral or earth tone colors. Metals that are used on exterior walls shall have visible corner moldings and trim. This requirement has been met. Trim would consist of steel fascia and aluminum. 3. Undesirable materials shall include simulated brick or stone, vinyl or aluminum siding, sheet metal, corrugated metal, concrete blocks, materials that have no pattern or relief when applied to large walls, brightly colored metal roofing or canopies, and pre -cast tilt - up walls. Extensive use of mirrored or tinted glass on the first floor and materials that represent corporate colors or trademarks that are not in conformance with approved building materials are also undesirable. Vinyl siding is proposed for a portion of the building. B. Building Design. The arrangement, geometry, massing, materials and colors shall work to create a high quality development that is responsive to existing buildings, site features, and site design on adjoining sites in the district. 1. At least fifty percent (50%) of the largest building on each site shall be constructed at the front setback line. This requirement has been met. The majority of the building line is setback 40 feet from the front property line. 2. Facade treatment shall be carried around all sides. Architectural elements such as, but not limited to, windows, shutters, awnings, doors, masonry exterior veneers, cornice detailing, window casings, and other architectural details should demonstrate consistency on all sides of the structure that are reasonably visible to the general public. Plain flat walls shall not be permitted when viewable from the public right-of-way or public areas. This requirement has been met. The architectural details carry around all four sides of the building. 3. To avoid long unbroken expanses and to increase visual interest from the street, buildings of more than 40 feet in width shall be divided into smaller increments (between 20 and 40 feet) through articulation of the facades to convey the impression of individually - constructed small storefronts or, in the case of housing, housing units. This requirement has been met. The building has architectural details that break up the walls and create articulation around all sides. This is done with changes to the siding treatments. Page 2 of 9
