APPENDIX 7-A

MIXED USE

Sec. 7.29.090(J)(i)(A) Site Layout and Design. Buildings shall reinforce the street edges and create pedestrian-oriented open spaces.	The pedestrian character of this block is compromised by the large surface parking lot placed in front of the building.

Sec. 7.29.080(J)(i) Buildings on corner lots shall define and frame the public space.	Sec. 7.29.090(J)(iii) Parking. Parking shall be located behind a building, underground or in the interior of the lot.

Sec. 7.29.090(J)(iv) Common Spaces help connect pedestrian access…	…and create focal points

Sec. 7.29.090(4) Building Layout and Design.	This building overwhelms the site by not setting back the third floor and cantilevering over the ground floor entries to the building.

Sec. 7.29.292(iv) Mixed Use Buildings in Town Center shall be occupied by ground floor retail spaces measured at least 12 feet in height from finished floor to finished ceiling.
	This space intentionally left blank.
Sec. 7.29.060() Sec. 7.29.090(v) Scale and Mass. Organize the form and massing of a building to provide human scale.	A mixed use building steps back its third and fourth floors, which provides pedestrian scale to the street.

The linear aspects of the building are broken with variations in roof height, pronounced recess and projection and distinct changes in texture and material

Sec. 7.29.090(4)(vii) Storefronts and Pedestrian Entrances	The awning emphasizes the store entrance, provides shade for a café and carries part of the tenant's image. It also adds texture to the streetscape and interest and variety to the building façade.

Sec. 7.29.090(4)(xi) Roofs. Variations in roof height and modulation break up large expanses of roof and add visual interest to the building.	Sec. 7.29.090(4)(x) Windows. This mixed use building provides generous window articulation which provides light and views into the building.

The lack of windows and front-facing entrance compromises the pedestrian character of the street. The roof form lacks visual continuity with the ground floor and the exposed mechanical equipment diminish the building's overall character and quality.	Sec. 7.29.090(4)(x) Decks and Balconies. Whenever possible, balconies and decks in combination with bay windows and other exterior projections shall be oriented to take advantage of solar exposure.

Long, linear balconies are not permitted.
	This space intentionally left blank.
Sec. 7.29.090(5) Parking structures. This public parking garage is wrapped with ground floor retail and second story office uses.

RESIDENTIAL USE

Sec. 7.29.090(d)(3) Roofs. All residential buildings shall incorporate roofline modulation.	Break up building massing by articulating roof lines and including features such as dormers, gables and other architectural details.

Sec. 7.29.090(5) Four-sided architecture. Long windowless wall on a multifamily building compromises the pedestrian character of the street.	All four sides of this townhome development display similar level of quality and architectural detailing.

Sec. 7.29.030(e)(i) Wildridge design standards. This house preserves the aesthetic qualities of the natural hillside by relating the building to slope and minimizing grading.	Sec. 7.29.090(e)(ii) Long, unarticulated walls and unbroken roof lines create an overbearing presence on the hillside.

Setbacks in the first and second stories help break up the appearance of a longer wall and reduce the visual impact of building height and mass on steep slopes.	Sec. 7.29.030(3)(I)(A) Building design. Structures shall create visual interest along the street.

Sec. 7.29.050(3)(i)(B) Building design. Architectural features such as these massive, tall, two-story columns along the front façade, increase visual prominence and should be avoided.	Sec. 7.29.050(5)(f)(1) Entrances and porches. Entry features and front doors should be the dominate element facing the street and accessible from the street.

The garage door dominates the front entrance of this house.
	This space is intentionally left blank.

Sec. 7.29.050(5)(f)(2). Duplex buildings in single family neighborhoods shall relate to the scale and height of adjacent homes. The mass and scale of this side-by-side duplex could have been reduced by including greater variations in building height, façade articulation and offsetting the units.

This duplex breaks up massing by stepping the building foundation with the grade and locating the garage on different elevations.	This duplex relates to the scale of adjacent single family homes by orienting the units perpendicular to each other.

Sec. 7.29.050(g)(4) Townhome design standards. Repeating architectural elements and subtly varying wall offsets, material, parapet height and color add visual interest and streetscape diversity.	Sec. 7.29.050(g) Townhomes fronting on a street must have individual ground-related entrance accessible from the street. The front elevation of this project is dominated by garages and lacks visual interest and streetscape diversity.

Sec. 7.29.050(g)(2) Driveways should be limited in length to deemphasize vehicular access.	Sec. 7.29.050(h)(1) Multifamily design standards. Multifamily building shall be organized around open spaces and gather spaces and provide walkways that connect building entrances.

Sec. 7.29.050(h)(4) Changes in vertical and horizontal articulation, window sizes, building materials and roof design provide human scale and interest.	Sec. 7.29.050(i) Residential parking location. Parking areas should be oriented away from the street frontage.
