Maximum building coverage for all uses: 25%.

Maximum impervious coverage:

Yard setback requirements.

Maximum building height for all uses: 30 feet.

Lighting fixtures shall have a maximum height of 16 feet; shorter pedestrian scaled lighting with a maximum height of 12 feet adjacent to sidewalks.

All outdoor lighting fixtures shall be of a type containing glare shields, reflectors, fracture panels or recessed light sources such that the cutoff angle is less than 90°. The cutoff angle is an angle formed by a line perpendicular to the ground and the highest line that can be drawn from the light source in the direction of light rays.

Newly proposed or redeveloped properties located at the Village's gateways may mark the transition into and out of the Village in some distinct fashion, using massing, contrasting materials and/or architectural enhancements to obtain this effect.

More prominent, monumental buildings and structures by virtue of enhanced height, massing, distinctive architectural treatments or other distinguishing features may generally occupy focal points.

Buildings may define the streetscape by respecting setbacks already established for a particular location or block. The building line may be generally continued across side yard setback areas between buildings, where applicable, by using landscaping. The streetscape may also be reinforced by lines of closely planted shade trees (see § 255-34C) and may be further reinforced by walls, hedges or fences which define front yards.

Exterior public and semipublic spaces, such as courtyards or plazas, may be designed to enhance surrounding buildings and provide amenities for users, in the form of textured paving, landscaping lighting, street trees, benches, trash receptacles and other items of street furniture, as appropriate. Courtyards may have recognizable edges defined on at least three sides by buildings, walls, elements of landscaping, and elements of street furniture, in order to create a strong sense of enclosure. Use of recycled or "green" products are strongly encouraged where feasible.

Buildings may be considered in terms of their relationship to the height and massing of adjacent building, as well as in relation to the human pedestrian scale.

Buildings may be located to front towards and relate to public streets, both functionally and visually, to the greatest extent possible. Buildings may not be oriented to front toward a parking lot.

Walls and fences shall be architecturally compatible with the style, materials, and colors of the principal building and adjacent buildings. Solid wooden fences are recommended in rear and side yards. Highway-style guardrail, stockade or chain-link fencing, including barbed or razor wire, is discouraged.

Buildings shall generally relate in scale and design features to other surrounding buildings, showing respect for Village context. Some items may include things such as change in building scale or color; the use of front porches on residential or mixed-use buildings; maintaining cornice lines in buildings of the same height; extending horizontal lines of windows; and echoing architectural styles and details, design themes, building materials, and colors used in other existing Village buildings.

Buildings on corner lots shall be considered more significant structures, since they have at least two front facades visibly exposed to the street. If deemed appropriate, such buildings should be designed with additional architectural embellishments, such as wraparound porches.

All sides of a building should be architecturally designed to be consistent with regard to style, materials, colors, and details. Blank wall or service area treatment of side or rear elevations visible from the public viewshed is discouraged.

Flat roofs should be avoided. Architectural enhancements that add visual interest to roofs, such as dormers, masonry chimneys, cupolas, clock towers and other similar elements are encouraged.

Windows should be architecturally compatible with the style, materials, colors and details of a building and be proportioned where feasible.

Blank windowless walls are discouraged. Where the construction of a blank wall is necessitated by local building codes, such walls should be articulated by the provision of blank window openings trimmed with frames, sills and lintels or by utilizing display window cases. Intensive landscaping may also be appropriate in certain cases.

All entrances to a building should be defined and articulated by architectural elements, such as lintels, pediment, pilasters, columns, porticos, porches, overhangs, railing, balustrades and others, where appropriate. Any such element utilized shall be architecturally compatible with the style, materials, colors and details of the building as a whole.

Storefronts are an integral part of a building and should be integrally designed with the upper floors of a building to be compatible with the overall character of the facade. It is recommended that ground floor retail, service and restaurant uses shall have large pane display windows on the ground level. Buildings with multiple storefronts shall be unified through the use of architecturally compatible materials, colors, details, awnings, signage, and lighting fixtures.

Use of awnings is encouraged to add visual interest to a building. In buildings with multiple storefronts, compatible awnings should be used as a means of unifying the structure.

Light fixtures attached to the exterior of a building shall be architecturally compatible with the style, materials, colors and details of the building and shall comply with local building codes. The type of light source used on the exterior of buildings, signs, parking areas, pedestrian walkways and other areas of a site, and the light quality produced, should be the same or compatible.

All air-conditioning units, HVAC systems, exhaust pipes or stacks, elevator housing and satellite dishes and other telecommunications receiving devices should be thoroughly screened from view from the public right-of-way and from adjacent properties, by using walls, fencing, roof elements, penthouse-type screening devices or landscaping.

Fire escapes should be visible from any street right-of-way. In buildings requiring a second means of egress pursuant to the local/state codes, internal stairs or other routes of egress shall be used.
