Architecture. It is the intent of the Central Business District Overlay Zone to provide high-quality building materials and complimentary building architecture. Architectural guidelines shall include the following:
(a) 
First floor architecture shall be compatible with sidewalk areas and shall provide an attractive interface between buildings and pedestrians. This shall be accomplished with generous window areas, recesses, and architectural detail.
(b) 
Sixty percent of the storefront zone must be clear glass and be active pedestrian use.
[1] 
Glazing must be clear. Reflective, fritted or tinted glass is not appropriate.
[2] 
Nonretail uses at ground level shall also respect the purpose of the storefront and meet the transparency criteria.
(c) 
A wide variety of building materials are appropriate, including but not limited to metal, stone, granite, terra cotta, concrete, glass, brick and stucco. Alternate or new materials may also be used as long as they are compatible with the physical characteristics of the historic materials which lend urban character to the downtown.
(d) 
The following standards apply to building materials:
[1] 
Appropriate materials: metal, stone, granite, terra cotta, concrete, glass, brick and stucco.
[2] 
Inappropriate materials, including but not limited to horizontal or vertical rough-textured wood siding, stone and gravel aggregate, shingles, vinyl or aluminum siding, T1-11 (plywood) and EIFS (exterior insulation finishing system).
(5) 
A minimum of 90% of the length of the front lot line shall be occupied by building.
(6) 
All buildings shall adhere to the schedule of regulations for setbacks and height. A building shall not be set back greater than 12 feet from the right-of-way unless the setback provides space for outdoor cafes or other public open space. Building siting: the building location shall be established at the right-of-way, lot line, or no more than 12 feet from the right-of-way or lot line.
(7) 
Buildings shall have an orientation to the street and front sidewalk; with a functioning entrance which enhances the continuity of the pedestrian-oriented environment.
(8) 
Where possible, there shall be a minimal grade differential between the elevation of the sidewalk and the first floor elevation of the adjoining building.
(9) 
Building entries shall be readily identifiable and accessible, with at least one main entrance, and shall open directly onto the public sidewalk.
(10) 
Architecture will be evaluated based upon its compatibility and relationship to the adjacent buildings and uses, and vice versa.
(11) 
Building materials shall be high quality and compatible with surrounding architecture. Exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) may only be used for architectural detailing above the first floor.
(12) 
All rooftop mechanical equipment shall be screened from view.
(13) 
Corner building standards.
(a) 
Standards: Corner buildings and structures shall incorporate distinctive features, materials, designs, height levels, and colors that are sensitive to the flanking buildings. Wider sidewalks and/or further setback from the corner's edge is encouraged to retain a line-of-sight through the corner.
(14) 
Form and function. Use of ground-level open-aired areas at the intersection of the sidewalks is encouraged. The design of open-aired areas or pedestrian plazas adds aesthetic distinction to the facade and compliments the pedestrian atmosphere. Integrating covered/uncovered seating and resting areas is highly encouraged.
(15)

§ 530-37 PUD Planned Unit Development District.

A. 
Intent and purpose. This district is established to permit greater flexibility and consequently more creative design of various types of development than are possible under conventional zoning regulations. It is the intention of the associated provisions to allow flexible land use composition and design without sacrificing the basic principles of sound zoning practice. The basic zoning districts and their permitted uses as established in this chapter will form the land use base for designing a combination of uses permitted in each district in the form of clustering principal uses and activities at a higher density than would otherwise be possible under the respective district regulations on a preferred portion of a parcel while maintaining the overall density of development of the parcels consistent with the district regulations. Another option would be to combine the planning of land uses and activities from several districts as one project on the same clustering principle.
B. 
See Article VIII for specific use regulations.

A. 
Intent and purpose.
(1) 
This district is intended to implement the goals, policies, and future land use designation of the Master Plan through the provision of a mixture of nonresidential uses that will contribute significantly to the tax base of the Township.

Development standards that require a high quality of design and mitigate any negative impacts on adjacent uses and the existing natural features;
(b) 
Employ alternative site layout (i.e., low-impact development) standards;
(c) 
Where deemed necessary, expand public utilities and services, and mitigate impacts to the existing infrastructure.
(2) 
This designation is intended to permit flexible land use composition and site layout in exchange for higher quality design and incorporation of low-impact development guidelines. More specifically, the zoning district regulations encourage:
(a) 
Mixed-use environment;
(b) 
Pedestrian interconnectivity, shared parking, and access;
(c) 
Multiple-story buildings;
(d) 
High-quality building materials;
