         F.   Site Design. Developments shall be designed to complement the topography of the land in order to utilize natural contours, economize in the construction of utilities, reduce required grading, and maximize the conservation of trees, water courses, and other natural features. Natural features and other distinctive characteristics of the site shall be integrated into the plan to create functional variations in the arrangements of residences, open spaces, and accessory uses.
         G.   Modifications. With respect, particularly to properties of irregular shape, unusual topography, or limited size, the planning commission may modify the requirements established herein for areas, yards, buffers, and distances between uses if compliance with these requirements is either clearly unfeasible or contrary to compliance with the design regulations and standards of this section. However, the maximum permitted density shall not be increased by reason of this provision.

1104.06 MEASUREMENTS, COMPUTATIONS, AND EXCEPTIONS.

   (a)   Setbacks and Yards.
      (1)   Measurements. Setbacks refer to the unobstructed, unoccupied open area between the furthermost projection of a structure and the property line of the lot on which the structure is located. Setbacks shall not contain any structure except when in conformance with this Code (See Section 1104.06(a)(3)).
 
Figure 1104.06-1: Illustration of Setbacks
      (2)   Front Yard Modifications.
         A.   In areas of the City where there is an established development pattern, as determined by the Building Commissioner, the required minimum front yard setback shall be the average of the existing front yard setbacks of all principal structures on the same side of the street and within 300 feet of the subject lot.
         B.   If the calculated average described in subsection (a) is less than the district requirement, the required minimum front yard setback for the subject lot is the average as calculated.
         C.   This does not apply to panhandle lots (otherwise known as flag lots) which must meet the frontage dimension requirements for the zoning district in which they are located.
         D.   Modification of the front yard setback in accordance with this section will not create a nonconforming lot unless the lot or structure does not meet other applicable provisions of this Code.
 
Figure 1104.06-2: Illustration of Front Yard Modification
      (3)   Yard Projections. The following are permitted obstructions within the required yards provided they are so located that natural light and ventilation are not materially obstructed from the main building or any adjoining property.
         A.   Open Air Front Porch. In the residential zoning districts, there shall be no building or portion of a building above grade extending into the required front yard, except an open air porch (which includes porches that may be covered, but not ones that are enclosed). No portion of such open air porch may be built more than ten (10) feet beyond the front wall of such building.
         B.   Architectural Features. Architectural features extending not more than one (1) foot into a required yard.
         C.   Awnings and Canopies. Awnings and canopies extending not more than three (3) feet into a required yard.
         D.   Heating or Cooling Equipment. Heating or cooling equipment shall not extend more than two (2) feet into a required yard. In the residential zoning districts, ground mounted heating and cooling equipment that is located in the side yard shall be screened from view from the public right-of-way.
         E.   Chimneys. Chimneys projecting no more than three (3) feet into a required yard.
         F.   Eaves, Gutters, Downspouts. Eaves, gutters, and downspouts shall not project more than three (3) feet into a required yard.
   (b)   Height Exceptions. Architectural projections including spires associated with religious facilities, clock tower, cellular wireless facility, chimney flue, water tank, elevated bulkhead, stage tower, scenery lofts, flagpoles, aerials and antennas, and approved street lighting may exceed the maximum height of the zoning district in which they are located.
 
   (c)   Lot Requirements.
      (1)   Interior Lot.
         A.   The required minimum front yard setback shall be measured from the front property line.
         B.   The lot line located directly behind the rear of the structure, as determined by the Building Commissioner, shall be the rear lot line and the rear yard setback shall be applied.
         C.   In cases where the rear lot line is not parallel with the front property line or the side lot lines are not perpendicular to the front property line, average dimensions may be used to determine setback requirements.
 
Figure 1104.06-3: Illustration of Interior Lot
      (2)   Corner Lot.
         A.   Lots having a frontage on more than one (1) street shall have the required front yard setback along each frontage, unless specifically regulated otherwise.
         B.   On any corner lot no fence or planting shall be erected or maintained within the twenty (20) feet of the corner right-of-way that interferes with traffic visibility across a corner.
 
Figure 1104.06-4: Illustration of Corner Lot
      (3)   Through Lot.
         A.   Where a lot is considered a through lot, the required minimum front yard setback shall be provided from both frontages.
         B.   The remaining lot lines shall be considered side lot lines and the side yard setback shall be applied to those lot lines.
 
Figure 1104.06-5: Illustration of Through Lot
      (4)   Cul-De-Sac or Curved Lot.
         A.   For a cul-de-sac lot or a lot abutting a curved street, the front yard setback shall follow the curve of the front property line.
         B.   Lots on a cul-de-sac shall be required to have a minimum lot width of forty (40) feet measured at the right-of-way line.

1104.07 DESIGN STANDARDS.

   (a)   Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish standards and regulations to promote high quality architecture and building design throughout the City.
   (b)   Applicability. The following design standards shall apply to all uses, except single- family (attached and detached) and two-family dwellings, per the following:
      (1)   All new buildings shall comply with the provisions of this section.
      (2)   Exterior alterations or modifications to existing buildings that exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the total square footage of all facades of the building to be altered or modified, shall comply with the design standards, unless the Planning Commission decides that consistency with the existing architecture better satisfies the goals of this section.
      (3)   Additions to existing buildings that exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the existing floor area of the building to be expanded, or 10,000 square feet, whichever is less, shall comply with the architectural standards of this section, unless the Building Commissioner decides that consistency with the existing architecture better satisfies the goals of this chapter.
   (c)   Approval Process. Applications that require design review per subsection (b) shall submit the required information as part of the site plan review process per Section 1111.05(d). The Planning Commission may alter or waive the requirements of this section, as part of the final development plan approval, if the Commission deems that the application meets the intent of this section.
   (d)   Design Standards That Apply to All Buildings.
      (1)   Style. Architectural style is not restricted, but the evaluation of a project's appearance shall be based on the quality and creativity of its design, the shape and form of the building and roof, and the building materials proposed to be used.
      (2)   Monotony. Monotony of design in multiple buildings within a development shall be avoided. Variation in detail shall be used to provide visual interest.
      (3)   Character. New developments shall be complementary to the existing and intended character of the area in which they are located. This includes, but is not limited to, a development's size, scale, design, materials, mass, and location.
      (4)   Pedestrian-Oriented Development. Mixed-use, commercial, multifamily, and other similar types of development shall be designed with an emphasis primarily on the street sidewalk and on pedestrian access to the site and building, rather than on auto access and parking areas. Buildings shall be generally placed closer to the street with the main entrance oriented to the street sidewalk.
      (5)   Building Materials.
         A.   Any combination of primary building materials, as identified in Table 1104.07-1: Building Material standards, shall comprise a minimum of seventy-five percent (75%) of each building façade that faces a public right-of-way, an interior access road, a parking area, or a residential zoning district or use. For the remaining facades, any combination of primary building materials shall comprise a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the façade.
          B.   Secondary building materials, as identified in Table 1104.07-1: Building Material standards, shall be used for accents, architectural treatments, and the remaining areas of the façade.
         C.   Each building shall use at least three different building materials. At least two (2) of the three (3) materials shall be from the list of primary building material for the specific use as identified.
         D.   Other building materials, which are not listed in Table 1104.07-1: Building Material standards, may be approved by Planning Commission.

         B.   Each building shall include a clearly defined primary façade with a prominent entrance that includes an assortment of architectural treatments, a variety of materials, and a clear distinction between the building base, body, and cap.
      (7)   Roof Form. Roofs are an important architectural feature of a building, and they shall complement and enhance the overall building design. Roof forms shall be subject to the following:
          A.   Dynamic and asymmetrical roof forms are encouraged as they allude to motion, provide variety and flexibility in non-residential building design, and allow for unique buildings.
         B.   In multi-tenant buildings, roof heights and styles shall vary between tenants in order to break up the overall mass of the building.
         C.   Flat roofs are acceptable if mechanical units are properly screened as required in Section 1104.07(d)(9).
      (8)   Window Openings.
         A.   First floor elevations that are visible from the public right-of-way or front a pedestrian walkway, shall maximize window openings as appropriate for the interior use.
