All portions of all buildings within a community shopping village shall be compatibly designed with a common architectural motif, whether constructed at one time or in stages over a period of time. The architectural design and material surface and color of all building walls on all sides of all buildings shall be suitably finished for aesthetic purposes.

All buildings within a community shopping village shall have a dual pitched, single ridge roof (such as gable, hip, gambrel or mansard roof) with a minimum pitch of one foot vertical to eight feet horizontal, and no flat roof shall be permitted; provided, however, that where roof mounted equipment is necessary and/or preferable for the operation of the building, a facade roof treatment exhibiting the appearance of such a dual pitched, single ridge roof may be permitted if specifically approved by the board as part of a submitted site plan application for development.

More than one principal building shall be permitted within a community shopping village provided that, to the extent practicable, the placement of the buildings shall be staggered, with varying building setbacks and with the orientation of the buildings situated at angles to one another and/or otherwise designed to promote a nonlinear appearance.

To the extent practicable, individual buildings within a community shopping village should be relatively small so that the preferred non-linear appearance can be achieved.
