1004.05:1004.06: ONE AND TWO-FAMILY DESIGN STANDARDS 1249 A. One- and Two-Family Design Standards: The standards in this section are applicable to all one- and 1250 two-family buildings, with the exception of accessory dwelling units. The intent of these standards is 1251 to create streets that are pleasant and inviting, and to promote building faces which emphasize living 1252 area as the primary function of the building or function of the residential use. 1253 1. Garage doors shall not occupy more than 40% of the building facade (total building front); and 1254 2. Garage doors shall be allowed to extend forward a maximum of 5-feet from the predominant 1255 portion of the principal use, while still required to meet the 3-=foot principal structure front yard 1256 setback and 1257 3. Homes with an attached garage that is set back 100 feet or more from the front property line are 1258 exempt from meeting the requirement in “a” above, but must meet all other requirements of 1259 Section 1004. 05A06A (Ord. 1405, 2-28-2011) (Ord. 1470, 8-11-2015) 1260 B. Requirements Apply to All New Construction: On lots with physical constraints, such as lakefront 1261 lots, where the Community Development Department determines that compliance with these 1262 requirements is impactful, the Community Development Department may waive the requirements and 1263 instead require design enhancements to the garage doors to ensure that the purpose of the 1264 requirements is achieved. Design enhancements required for garage doors where the preceding 1265 requirements cannot be met may include such things as paint, raised panels, decorative windows, and 1266 other similar treatments to complement the residential portion of the facade. 1267 1004.06:1004.07: MULTI-FAMILY DESIGN STANDARDS 1268 The standards in this Section are applicable to all structures that contain three or more units. Their intent 1269 is to encourage multi-family building design that respects its context, incorporates some of the features of 1270 one-family dwellings within the surrounding neighborhood, and imparts a sense of individuality rather 1271 than uniformity. 1272 The following standards apply to new buildings and major expansions (i.e., expansions that constitute 1273 50% or more of building floor area). Design standards apply only to the portion of the building or site that 1274 is undergoing alteration. 1275 A. Orientation of Buildings to Streets: Buildings shall be oriented so that a primary entrance faces one of 1276 the abutting streets. In the case of corner lots, a primary entrance shall face the street from which the 1277 building is addressed. Primary entrances shall be defined by scale and design. 1278 B. Street-facing Facade Design: No blank walls are permitted to face public streets, walkways, or public 1279 open space. Street-facing facades shall incorporate offsets in the form of projections and/or recesses 1280 in the facade plane at least every 40 feet of facade frontage. Wall offsets shall have a minimum depth 1281 of 2 feet. Open porches and balconies are encouraged on building fronts and may extend up to 8 feet 1282 into the required setbacks. In addition, at least one of the following design features shall be applied on 1283 a street- facing facade to create visual interest: 1284 1. Dormer windows or cupolas; 1285 2. Recessed entrances; 1286
