MAXIMIZE NATURAL LIGHT - Buildings will �naxii�ize the use of natural light and southern exposure, especially along exterior walkways and en�ry points. L, 7. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - Buildings will be outfitted with the latest up- g�•adabte information technology infrastructure. U 8. SUSTAINABLE- Buildings will employ environmentally sustainable design and construction standards. r� 9. SHEDDING WATER - Buildings will handle, store, and clean storm water on the site in a slow and diffuse manner, or collectively with adjacent buildings in a subregional retention area that doubles as public a�nenity, consistent with Rice Creek Watershed District standards. Such innovative techniques for treatment of water include roof gardens, rain gardens, swales and under paved surface piping and storage. � lo. STYL�: BACKGROUND vs. LANDMARK BUILDINGS— Background buildin�s are designed to fit the context that they are in, often participating with other buildings to for�n spaces or'places' and thus attempt to call less attention to thanselves in order to suppa��t. Traditional row houses, shop front and mixed use buildings are background buildings. Landmark buildin�s are set alone in space. These buildings separate themselves physically and visually %•ozn the context that they are in. Churches, civic and prominent coin�rzercial or wor�Cplace/indust�-ial headquarters are examples of appropriate Landmark buildings. Most background buildings employ architectural styles that reflect tixe building context, design character, proportions and rhythms of the region's best architecture, while also recognizing and responding to the region's unique climate. In other words background building style and expression should come second to f�unction, usefulness and durability. An exception can be rnade for �r�ot•e public, civic, or headquarters buildings ("Landrr�ark" buildings), which deserve special treatment with regards to self expression and design as they create landmark sites and are often a visual focus. � 11. MECHANICALSCREENING– Roof mounted service equipment will be screened from view at all times. Screening used will ensure the roofscapes and screening materials or parapet is an integral part of the design of the building with respect to form, materials and color. 17 12. GENERAL LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS - Priority will be given to attractive landscape design in the following areas: ■ Entrances to the site ■ Focal points within the site ■ Front yards and exposed exterior side yards and building faces ' Buffers and transitions between sites ■ Parking areas � 3 � '�: ��_i �~r•71f��tL.EI'I��I v�.i��7 �',�. t i 1
