1. Building Design And Materials: All buildings shall be designed to accomplish the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Building materials shall be attractive in appearance, of a durable finish, and be of a quality that is compatible and harmonious with adjacent structures. All buildings shall be of good aesthetic and architectural quality to ensure they will maintain and enhance the property values of neighboring properties and not adversely impact the community's public health, safety and general welfare.
   1. Design Elements: All new building fronts and refacing of existing buildings shall include a minimum of three (3) of the following elements:
      1. Accent materials;
      2. A visually pleasing front entry that, in addition to doors, shall be accented a minimum of one hundred fifty (150) square feet around the door entrance for single occupancy buildings and a minimum of three hundred (300) square feet total for the front of multi-tenant buildings (this area shall be counted as 1 element);
      3. Twenty five percent (25%) window coverage on each front that faces a street;
      4. Contrasting, yet complementary material colors;
      5. A combination of horizontal and vertical design features;
      6. Irregular building shapes; or
      7. Other architectural features in the overall architectural concept. If the applicant and the Development Review Committee (DRC) cannot agree on the proposed building exterior elevations, the applicant shall be required to make an application for a conditional use permit to prove compatibility.
   2. Accent Materials: Accent materials shall be wrapped around walls visible from public view. Painting shall not be substituted for visual relief, accenting, or a required element. No wall shall exceed one hundred feet (100') in length without visual relief. "Visual relief" may be defined as the incorporation of design features such as windows, horizontal and vertical patterns, contrasting material colors, or varying wall depths. Use of fiber cement trim, soffit and fascia shall be allowed as accent materials.
   3. Major Exterior Materials: Major exterior materials of all walls including face brick, stone, glass, stucco, synthetic stucco, fiber cement vertical panel siding, architectural concrete and precast and cast in place panels shall be acceptable as the major exterior wall surface when they are incorporated into an overall design of the building. Use of rain screens, panelized systems, or curtain walls are encouraged and will be verified for high quality design and materials through the Development Review Committee. Fiber cement seam lines shall be architecturally integrated into the building design so that they are not visible. Seam lines can be filled, covered by other accent material or other method thereby making the seam lines invisible. Color impregnated decorative block shall also be allowed as a major exterior wall material, and shall be required to be sealed. All materials shall be color impregnated with the exception of allowing architectural concrete precast panel systems and fiber cement siding to be painted. Painting shall be permitted on color impregnated, major exterior materials. If the architectural precast panel systems are painted, they shall be properly prepared and maintained regularly to prevent peeling, stripping, shading or any other form of deterioration or discoloration. Proof of manufacturer's painting specifications shall be supplied prior to issuance of a building permit. All exterior materials, including painted exterior materials, shall comply with section 304.2 Protective Treatment of the International Property Maintenance Code. This subsection (A)3 shall also apply to all exterior repairs, remodeling, or expansion of existing buildings that require a building permit.
   4. Limited Exterior Materials: No more than fifty percent (50%) of any exterior wall on a building shall be fiber cement horizontal siding, wood or 24-gauge or thicker metal accent material. All exterior materials, including painted exterior materials, shall comply with section 304.2 Protective Treatment of the International Property Maintenance Code. This fifty percent (50%) limit may be exceeded when used in a panelized system that consists of prefabricated, or factory manufactured, panels that form a structural envelope, and significantly simplify on site framing, and request for approval shall be through a conditional use permit or planned unit development. This standard applies only to facades facing a street.
   5. Prohibited Exterior Materials: Unadorned prestressed concrete panels, whether smooth or raked, nondecorative concrete block, sheet metal, 25-gauge or thinner corrugated metal or unfinished metal shall not be used as exterior materials. This restriction shall apply to all principal structures and to all accessory buildings except those accessory buildings not visible from any property line.
   6. Visual Relief: No wall shall exceed one hundred feet (100') in length without visual relief. "Visual relief" may be defined as a varying design of the building by incorporating design features such as windows, horizontal and vertical patterns, contrasting material colors or varying wall depths.
   7. Roofs: Roofs which are exposed or an integral part of the building aesthetics shall be constructed only of commercial grade asphalt shingles, wood shingles, standing seam metal, slate, tile, or copper. Flat roofs, which are generally parallel with the first floor elevation, are not subject to these material limitations.
   8. Building And Roofing Materials: All building and roofing materials shall meet current accepted industry standards, and tolerances, and shall be subject to review and approval by the Development Review Committee for quality, durability, and aesthetic appeal. For all new buildings and building exterior renovations, the applicant shall submit to the City product samples, color building elevations, and associated drawings which illustrate the construction techniques to be used in the installation of such materials. Building and roofing materials not specifically approved in this section may be allowed by a conditional use permit or planned unit development only after it is demonstrated that the proposed material is equal to or better than approved materials. The long range maintenance of the proposed material shall be incorporated as a condition of the approval and filed on the property.
   9. Parapets: Renovation or refacing of an existing commercial building that includes increasing the height of the parapet walls, as defined in section 10-4-2 of this title, shall be part of a comprehensive building upgrade that meets the following standards:

         1. Recessed or projected windows, awnings, or canopies.
         2. Entryway treatments, awnings, canopies, marquees, porticoes, and arches.
         3. Vertical wall treatments that extend from the facade creating a variation in facade depth, columns, corner treatments, and changes in building materials.

The term "ground level view" for this provision shall be defined as the view of the building from the furthest point of the width of the right-of-way from the property line(s) that abut a street. A cross sectional drawing shall be provided that illustrates the sightlines from the ground level view. For buildings constructed prior to January 1, 2006, for replacement of existing units, remodeling, and building expansions, the ground level view of all rooftop equipment and related piping, ducting, electrical and mechanical utilities shall be painted to match the building, designed to be compatible with the architectural treatment of the principal structure or screened by the use of parapet walls. Wood fencing shall not be used for screening.
6.
