Street access points, including new or modified driveway approaches, shall conform to the Access Control Standards in Section 17.100. Uses and development located outside the Downtown District shall not receive vehicle access through the Downtown District, except driveway approaches lawfully established prior to February 9, 2011 are permitted, subject to the requirements of Chapter 17.100.

10.

Where a development contains multiple buildings and there is insufficient street frontage to which buildings can be oriented, a primary entrance may be oriented to plaza, courtyard, or similar space containing pedestrian amenities. When oriented this way, the primary entrance(s), plaza, or courtyard shall be connected to the street by a landscaped and lighted walkway with an approved surface not less than five (5) feet in width.

11.

Buildings on corner lots shall have corner entrances or contain architectural features that emphasize the corner (e.g., chamfered/rounded edge, windows, molding, art).

12.

Primary building entrances shall be at least fifty percent (50%) transparent so that two-way views, in and out of a building, are possible. This standard can be met by a door with a window, a transom window above the door, or sidelights beside the door. Where ATMs or kiosks are proposed, they shall be visible from the street for security and have a canopy, awning, or other weather protection shelter.

B.

Front Façade. Materials used on the front façade shall turn the building corners and extend for a length of at least 12-inches across each side elevations to avoid the appearance of a false front building.

C.

Building Openings. The following standards are intended to facilitate safe, direct, and convenient pedestrian access to buildings and uses, enhance the appearance of the downtown, and protect the historic integrity of the downtown. For the purposes of this chapter, "transparent" means allowing two-way views in and out of a building. All of the following standards must be met, or adjustments approved, as applicable:

1.

Architectural detailing shall define building entrances. Detailing may include, but is not necessarily limited to, a stoop or recess behind the front plane of the building, a canopy or awning cover, an entryway plaza (e.g., with pavers and seating), planter beds, window boxes, or similar detailing.

2.

The ground floor, street- or plaza-facing elevation(s) of buildings located within one hundred (100) feet of Main Street shall comprise not less than sixty (60) percent transparent windows. Building abutting Main Street shall have windowed doors and transom windows, except where historical precedence dictates otherwise.

3.

All ground floor building elevations located more than one hundred (100) feet from Main Street and facing a street, plaza, or courtyard shall comprise not less than thirty (30) percent transparent windows.

4.

All side building elevations not otherwise subject to the provisions of subsection 2 or 3, above, shall comprise not less than twenty (20) percent transparency; except zero-lot line/common wall elevations are not required to provide windows.

5.

Window coverage shall be measured along the width of the street-facing elevation, between the building base (twenty-four (24) inches above the sidewalk grade, whichever is less) and a plane seventy-two (72) inches above the sidewalk grade.

6.

The Planning Commission may grant exceptions (no adjustment required) to the window transparency standards for buildings containing industrial processing uses, provided the subject elevation contains detailing (e.g., false windows, offsets, projections, bays, changes in materials and/or texturing, or similar details) that break up the wall into smaller components.

7.

Windows shall contain trim, reveals or recesses of not less than four (4) inches in width or depth as applicable. The use of sills and decorative detailing and ornamentation around windows (e.g., patterning, corbels, medallions, pediments, shutters, or similar features), as appropriate for the sub-district, is required. This provision also applies to false windows.

8.

Windows in the D-MS Sub-district. In the D-MS sub-district, upper story windows shall be vertically oriented, their height greater than their width. Upper story windows shall follow the vertical lines of the lower level piers and the horizontal definition of spandrels and any cornices. Paired or grouped windows that, together, are wider than they are tall, shall be visually divided to express the vertical orientation of individual windows. Except for transom windows and bay windows, windows and display cases shall not break the front plane of the building; projecting display boxes and bay windows are not allowed on elevations facing Main Street. For reasons of durability and historic compatibility, display cases, when provided, shall be flush with the building façade (not affixed to the exterior) and integrated into the building design with trim or other detailing. Window flower boxes are allowed provided they do not encroach into the pedestrian through-zone.

9.

Decorative wall-mounted lighting, consistent with the architectural of the building, shall be provided for signage and at primary entrances.

10.

The Planning Commission may require security lighting at rear entries.

11.

The Planning Commission may grant an exception to the window transparency requirement for parking garages, provided the building design shall incorporate openings, screening, or other detailing, subject to Site Design Review.

D.

Building Height Bonus (Option). The following standards are intended to support the urban design objectives for downtown and facilitate mixed-use development through increased building height, while protecting the historic integrity of downtown buildings. All of the standards below must be met, or adjustments approved, as applicable, for approval of a building height bonus:

1.

The maximum allowable height may be increased from thirty-five (35) feet to forty-five (45) feet on corner lots located within one hundred (100) feet of the following intersections, pursuant to subsections 2 and 3, below: Main Street/Pine Street, Main Street/Kutch Street, Main Street/Yamhill Street, and Pine Street/Grant Street.

2.

The portion of the building exceeding thirty-five (35) feet shall cover not more than thirty (30) percent of the building floor plate, as defined by the building foundation perimeter except the height increase may be extended to up to one hundred (100) percent of the floor plate for a mixed-use building where the upper story incorporates multifamily dwelling units or overnight accommodations (e.g., hotel) and civic space is provided pursuant to subsection 17.30.060(L).

3.

The portion of the building exceeding thirty-five (35) feet in height shall step-back from (recess behind) the building plane of the ground floor by at least four (4) feet.

E.

Building Line and Rhythm.

1.

Horizontal Rhythm. Buildings facing a street or plaza must incorporate rhythmic divisions that relate to historic building patterns. Front elevations should be articulated (e.g., offset, recess, projection, or similar "break" in the wall plane) not less than once every twenty-five (25) feet. (This standard does not apply to building elevations that are less than fifty (50) feet in width.) Articulation should be subtle. For example, slight offsets in a building elevation, roofline and/or the rhythmic placement of windows, pilasters, awnings/canopies, trim, art/medallions, or other detailing and ornamentation can satisfy the standard. Changes in paint color do not satisfy this standard. Side and rear elevations may be articulated less frequently but should complement the overall building design. The Planning Commission may allow alternative detailing, such as a mural or landscape trellis where other detailing is impractical, such as on a zero-lot line elevation to reduce the apparent scale and avoid blank walls (i.e., until an abutting property develops). See examples in Section 17.30.070.

2.

Horizontal Lines. Building elevations within one hundred (100) feet of Main Street shall follow prominent horizontal lines existing on adjacent buildings at similar levels along the street frontage. Examples of such horizontal lines include but are not necessarily limited to the base below a series of storefront windows; an existing awning or canopy line; a belt course between building stories; and/or an existing cornice or parapet line. See examples in Section 17.30.070. Exceptions: Where adjacent buildings do not provide a historically appropriate reference, the development may establish new horizontal lines consistent with historical precedence. See examples in Section 17.30.070.

3.

Ground Floor/Upper Floor Division. Building elevations within one hundred (100) feet of Main Street shall maintain clear visual division between the ground level floor and upper floors; this is accomplished, for example, through the use of a belt course, transom, awnings or canopies in the D-MS sub-district, and through the use of wood trim and other detailing in the D-WG and D-RR sub-districts, consistent with historical precedence.

4.

Vertical Rhythm. Buildings shall reflect a vertical orientation, through either actual volume, roof form, and/or the use of surface detail; for example, the use of vertically oriented sash windows and masonry trim in the D-MS sub-district, and pitched roofs and/or board and batten siding and corrugated metal detailing in the D-WG and D-RR sub-districts. See examples in Section 17.30.070.

5.

Roof Form.

a.

D-MS: Predominate roof form shall be a flat roof with appropriately scaled cornice or stepped parapet top.

b.

D-WG: Predominate roof form shall be pitched (4:12 minimum); gabled, hipped, modified pitched roof forms are allowed.

c.

D-RR: No restriction on roof form provided the form reflects historic precedence (e.g., depot, ranch/farm buildings, silos/granary tower, historic main street, etc.) and is not an artificial or applied roof form.

F.

Materials and Color.

1.

Exterior Cladding.

a.

D-MS: Except as permitted under subsection 'd', below, exterior cladding on new buildings shall predominately consist of durable reddish brick blends, as generally illustrated in Section 17.30.070; brick veneer is also permitted, except as otherwise required for designated historic buildings.

b.

D-WG: Except as permitted under subsection 'd', below, exterior cladding of buildings shall predominately consist of wood or fiber cement (lap, panel, board and batten, shingle or similar siding), stucco, stone, textured concrete, split-face concrete block, and/or similar masonry. Corrugated metal may be used as a secondary material only; vinyl siding and faux/cultured stone are not permitted.

c.

D-RR: Except as permitted under subsection 'd', below, exterior cladding of buildings shall predominately consist of wood or fiber cement (lap, panel, board and batten, shingle or similar siding), stucco, stone, split-face concrete block, brick, corrugated or sheet metal. Vinyl siding and faux/cultured stone are not permitted.

d.

Building Additions: Building additions shall conform to the above standards or contain cladding similar to the original cladding of the structure. For purposes of this subsection, "original" means the cladding (material and detailing) used when the building was first constructed.

e.

Secondary Cladding. Any material permitted above may be used as secondary exterior cladding in the respective sub-district. Metals such as copper, steel, iron, bronze and similar appearance metals may be used as trims or accents (e.g., flashing, wainscoting, weather protection features, ornamentation, etc.) when non-reflective and consistent with historic precedence. In addition, rough-hewn wood, and timbers may be used as accents in the D-WG and D-RR sub-districts.

2.

Four Sides of Building. New buildings shall be designed so that all four (4) sides contain complementary exteriors. Changes in material, texture or detailing (e.g., use of two (2) or more different types of material) shall break up otherwise blank walls and define a building's base, middle and top. Side and rear elevations that do not face a street, plaza, patio, or pedestrian access way need not have two (2) or more types of material where changes in texture or detailing break up the wall, consistent with the overall composition of the building.

3.

Roofs.

a.

Where pitched roofs are proposed, roof surfaces shall be wood, slate, cement tile, asphalt shingles, flat metal, or standing rib seam sheet metal.

b.

Metal roofing shall have a non-glare (e.g., matte finish).

c.

Where flat roofs are proposed, cornices and parapets shall incorporate materials that are consistent with historic precedence, as applicable, or otherwise consistent with the overall composition of the building.

d.

Roofs must be non-reflective and light in color (e.g., light gray or ash, brown, or other earth-tone), and not clash with exterior cladding.

4.

Windows and Doors. All windows and doors must have wood or vinyl-coated wood trim, or masonry trim and sills. See also, Pedestrian Shelter requirements under subsection 17.30.060(K).

5.

Substitute Materials. The Planning Commission may approve an adjustment allowing substitute materials that are equal in appearance and durability to those listed above, provided such materials are historically appropriate. The applicant will be required to provide specifications from the manufacturer.

6.

Color. Paint and materials colors shall be consistent with the historic color palette on file at Carlton City Hall. Color schemes shall be simple and coordinated over the entire building to establish a sense of overall composition. Reflective, luminescent, sparkling, and "day-glow" colors and finishes, and clashing paint colors or patterns are prohibited. Metals shall be matte finish, earth-tone color, or burnished/non-reflective (e.g., metal that has a non-reflective finish is allowed in the RR sub-district).

G.

Pedestrian Shelters. Within the D-MS sub-district, awnings, canopies, recesses or similar pedestrian shelters shall be provided along at least sixty (60) percent of a building's ground floor elevation(s) where the building abuts a sidewalk or civic space (e.g., plaza). Within the D-WG and D-RR sub-districts, the minimum pedestrian shelter requirement is forty (40) percent.

1.

Pedestrian shelters used to meet the above standard shall extend at least five (5) feet over the pedestrian area, be proportionate to the building in its dimensions, and not obscure the building's architectural details.

2.

Pedestrian shelters shall align with one (1) another to the extent practical.

3.

Shelters shall not conflict with mezzanine or transom windows.

4.

Colored canvas (not plastic) awnings and metal or plexiglass canopies, when consistent with historical styles, are allowed.

Exceptions: Pedestrian shelters are not required where historical precedence dictates otherwise. In addition, the Planning Commission may reduce the minimum shelter depth upon finding that existing right-of-way, easements, or building code requirements preclude a standard shelter.

H.

Civic Space and Pedestrian Amenities.

1.

Purpose. The City encourages the provision of civic space in new development through regulatory incentives. Civic space such as plazas, courtyards, patios, and expanded sidewalks/outdoor seating areas should be provided along street frontages and where gaps between buildings occur. Civic spaces can make the downtown more attractive and inviting while providing informal gathering places for rest and socialization.

2.

Applicability. The following applies to Site Design Review proposals involving: (a) a height bonus pursuant to subsection 17.30.060(H); (b) an adjustment to a code standard under site review; or (c) where the applicant voluntarily provides civic space.

3.

Civic Space Standards. At least three (3) percent, or not less than three hundred (300) square feet, of the site should be designated and improved as civic space (plaza, landscaped courtyard, sidewalk extension, or similar space). Such areas should be accessible to the general public, with the highest priority locations being those areas with the highest pedestrian activity. Civic spaces should be connected to a public right-of-way by a sidewalk or pedestrian access way. All civic spaces shall have dimensions that allow for reasonable pedestrian access. For example, a small site may provide a 4-foot wide strip adjoining and adding on to the sidewalk for a small café seating area, whereas a larger site at a street corner may provide a plaza adjacent to a building entrance. Civic spaces shall include pedestrian amenities, per subsection 4, below. See also, Chapter 17.84 Site and Landscaping Design.

4.

Pedestrian Amenities Standards. Where street frontage improvements are required to comply with the Transportation System Plan, or where civic space is required under subsection 17.30.060(H), street frontages shall be improved with pedestrian amenities such as benches, public art, pedestrian-scale lighting, shade structures, way-finding signs, or similar pedestrian facilities in an amount equal to or greater than one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the estimated construction cost of the proposed building(s), subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission. Where a civic space adjoins a building entrance, the cost of providing a weather protection canopy, awning, arcade, overhanging eave, arbor, portico, or similar feature, consistent subsection 17.30.060(K), may be credited toward the one-half of one percent (0.5%) requirement. Pedestrian amenities such as seating, planters, public art and pedestrian lighting (e.g., street lamps or pathway bollard lights) at street corners or paved mid-block pedestrian access ways between buildings may also be counted toward the one-half of one percent (0.5%) requirement. The cost of a proposed public-private parking facility may be subtracted from building costs used in the assessment of civic space improvements. A licensed architect, landscape architect, or other qualified professional, shall prepare cost estimates for civic space improvements, which shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission.

I.

Signs. In addition to complying with requirements of Chapter 17.80 Signs, conformance to following standards is required in the Downtown district:

1.

Building designs shall incorporate a sign band or otherwise provide for blade signs, awning signs, marquees, or other compatible sign types.

2.

Pole signs are prohibited.

3.

Monument signs shall not exceed six (6) feet in height and forty-eight (48) square feet of sign face for each side of a two-sided sign. A minimum of fifty (50) feet of street frontage is required for one (1) monument sign.

4.

On multitenant buildings, signs shall be designed to accommodate multiple tenants.

J.

Landscaping. In addition to complying with requirements of Chapter 17.84 Site and Landscaping Design, conformance to [the] following standards is required in the Downtown district:

1.

All Downtown Sub-districts: Landscape designs must be compatible with the downtown, where buildings are generally placed closer together than in other districts. Designs take into consideration exposure to sun and wind, opportunities for pedestrian safety and comfort (e.g., buffering vehicle areas, summer shade, etc.), maintenance requirements, and downtown beautification objectives. These factors are to be balanced so that the resulting design is functional, attractive, and cost-effective. For example, landscaping must define pedestrian pathways, buffer parking lots from outdoor seating areas, break up large blank walls, and add color and interest to streetscapes, parking lots, and plaza areas.

2.

D-MS: Zero (0) percent, minimum, except for required street trees (twenty-five (25) square feet per tree planting area), required civic space, and any required screening, as applicable, subject to site review.

3.

D-WG and D-RR: Ten (10) percent, minimum; may include required street trees (twenty-five (25) square feet per tree), planter beds, plant containers or window boxes, arbors, trellises, and climbing vines on garden walls and fences, as applicable. Where landscape structures such as arbors are proposed, the Planning Commission may count the total surface area to be covered by plants within two (2) years of planting.

4.

Maintenance: All landscape and civic space areas shall be maintained and, as necessary, replaced by the property owner to ensure plant survival and upkeep of street furnishings, paving, and other built features. The use of water-conserving features, such [as] small parking lot perimeter swales, and rain gardens fed by cisterns or roof drains is encouraged.

K.

Mechanical Equipment.

1.

Building Walls. Mechanical equipment shall not be mounted on any building where it will be visible within one hundred (100) feet of Main Street. When mechanical equipment, such as utility vaults, air compressors, generators, antennae, satellite dishes, or similar equipment, must be installed on a rooftop or adjacent to a building wall, it shall be screened from view. Where such equipment is installed on a side or rear building elevation and is adjacent to a plaza, pathway, or other public space, it shall be screened in accordance with Chapter 17.84. Standpipes, meters, vaults and similar incidental equipment need not be screened but shall not be placed on a front elevation when other practical alternatives exist; such equipment shall be placed low on a side or rear elevation to the extent practical.

2.

Rooftops. Except as provided below, rooftop mechanical units shall not be visible from the street or any alley, pedestrian access way or civic space. Such units should be screened behind a parapet wall or painted with muted, earth-tone colors that make them visually subordinate to their backgrounds. Exception: Equipment for small-scale renewable energy (e.g., mini-wind turbines, solar panels, and similar features) is allowed subject to site review; the Planning Commission may exempt such a facility from the screening standard upon finding that the screening would interfere with its operation, and the facility does not adversely impact any buildings of local historic significance.

3.

Ground-Mounted Mechanical Equipment. Ground-mounted equipment (e.g., generators and air compressors) shall be limited to side or rear yards and screened in accordance with Chapter 17.84. The Planning Commission may require additional setbacks and/or noise attenuating equipment to promote compatibility with adjacent uses.

4.

Plazas and Open Spaces. Mechanical equipment and garbage storage areas are not permitted within plazas or other public open spaces, except as approved with an Adjustment. Where such facilities are allowed, the Planning Commission may require that such facilities be screened completely from view and set back from a civic space for aesthetic reasons and to minimize odors or noise.

L.

Historic Building Alterations. In addition to complying with requirements of Chapter 17.104 Historic Sites, conformance to following standards is required for historic building alterations in the Downtown district:

1.

Restoration, rehabilitation or remodeling projects shall incorporate, whenever possible, original design elements that have been removed, changed, or covered over.

2.

Scale, proportion and materials used in alteration or additions to existing structures, such as the size and relationship of new windows, doors, entrances and other building features, shall be visually compatible with the original architecture on buildings of local historical significance.

M.

Off-Street Parking. Parking shall conform to the standards in Chapter 17.68. Exemptions apply to properties within the Downtown Parking District, subject to the provisions of Section 17.68.120.

(Ord. No. 2024-751, § 1, 6-25-2024)

A.

Purpose. The general design guidelines contained in this section describe and illustrate the standards contained in Section 17.30.060 and provide examples of how a project may comply with the standards. The Planning Commission shall rely upon the guidelines below and the illustrations in Section 17.30.070 in order to:

1.

Interpret the discretionary standards contained in Section 17.30.060, or

2.

Grant adjustments to Section 17.30.060. The Commission may approve an adjustment only upon making affirmative findings on each of the following guidelines, as it deems applicable.

B.

General Design Guidelines.

1.

Does the proposal contribute to the attributes that make the subject downtown sub-district (D-MS, D-WG, and/or D-RR) distinct? For example, does the proposal respond to the building forms, scale, setbacks, orientation, architectural style, materials, detailing, color, signage, parking, and/or other elements that distinguish the sub-district without mimicking other building designs? Is the proposal compatible with existing structures that have retained their historic integrity? It is not the city's intent to create an architectural theme, but rather to ensure that new buildings and alterations fit the historic context.

2.

If the proposal involves remodeling a building listed on a local state, or national historical register, is the remodel consistent with the guidelines for altering such historic resources?

3.

Does the proposal enhance the streetscape or other public spaces with appropriate building placement, orientation, height, architectural detailing and landscaping?

4.

If located at the intersection of Main Street/Pine Street, Main Street/Yamhill Street, or Pine Street/Grant Street, does the design enhance the "gateway" location with a corner plaza or vertical building elements (e.g., increased height) at the corner? (See Main Street Guidelines - Figure 2 in Section 17.30.070.)

5.

Does the structure have a compatible building scale relationship with adjacent residences? For example, does the structure step-down in height adjacent to single-family dwellings?

6.

Does the building design address all four (4) sides of the building with a unified design? For example, are the materials, textures and colors on each elevation coordinated?

7.

Where a zero-setback is proposed, does the side elevation facilitate common wall development in the future?

8.

Where the proposal includes an adjustment to the window transparency standards or other detailing standards, does the proposed design adequately break up the building elevation (avoid creating a blank wall) and express storefront character in other ways?

9.

Does the building contain openings (doors or windows) adjacent public spaces or parking areas, including those that may also serve as plazas or community gathering places during special events?

10.

Do the facade and roofline have a rhythm that is consistent with adjacent buildings, or appropriately transition from one (1) building to another?

11.

Does the proposal contain adequate sidewalks? Sidewalks must contain a sufficient pedestrian through zone (clearance) and Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility. Sidewalks within the MS sub-district must also contain a furnishing zone, per Section 17.30.070.

12.

If located adjacent to a plazas or area with curb extension or widened sidewalk, does the proposal include benches, café seating, or public art, per Section 17.30.070?

13.

If the proposal adjusts the lot coverage standard or contains on-premise parking, does it manage stormwater drainage more effectively than would be possible under a conventional design? Does it utilize on-site retention with water quality features?

14.

Does the proposal promote water conservation, for example, through drought-tolerant plantings or capturing rainwater for use in landscape irrigation?

15.

If the proposal leaves a gap between buildings (non-common wall development), does it provide landscaping (e.g., courtyard garden), or a plaza, with seating in that area?

(Ord. No. 2024-751, § 1, 6-25-2024)
