All affordable units shall be administered by a qualified administrative agent paid for by the developer.

Facades shall be expressed as building nodes to reduce the apparent size of larger buildings and to set up a rhythm in the facade that expresses the traditional scale of buildings. Architectural variety in building material, massing, cornice height, and window style/height/arrangement is encouraged.

All buildings shall provide scale-defining architectural elements or details, such as windows, spandrels, awnings, porticos, pediments, cornices, pilasters, columns and balconies.

All entrances to a building, except service and emergency egress doors, shall be defined and articulated by architectural elements such as lintels, pediments, pilasters, columns, porches, overhangs, railings, balustrades and other elements, where appropriate. Any such element utilized shall be architecturally compatible with the style, materials, colors and details of the building as a whole, as shall the doors.

Building exteriors shall have vertical and/or horizontal offsets to create visual breaks on the exterior. Monotonous, uninterrupted walls or roof planes shall be avoided. Building wall offsets, including projections such as balconies, canopies, awnings, and signs, recesses, and changes in floor level, shall be used in order to add architectural interest and variety and to relieve the visual effect of a simple, long wall. Similarly, roofline offsets, dormers, or gables shall be provided in order to provide architectural interest and variety to the massing of a building and to relieve the effect of a single, long roof.

The architectural treatment of the front facade shall be continued in its major features around all visibly exposed sides of a building. All sides of a building shall be architecturally designed to be consistent with regard to style, materials, colors and details.

There shall be no blank facades and shall adhere to the standards listed above and in this document.

Articulate the building entrance in the facade to make it easily identifiable by pedestrians and motorists and to provide architectural interest.

Dwelling unit size. Each dwelling unit shall meet the following criteria:

No rooms intended for human habitation shall be located in a cellar, basement or attic except that a cellar or basement may contain a family room or recreation room.

Buildings with residential uses shall provide laundry facilities and central air conditioning for each dwelling unit. No central or common laundry or similar facilities intended for two or more dwelling units shall be permitted. Window air-conditioning units are not permitted. Outside clothes drying is prohibited.

Landscaping and open space. All portions of the site not used for buildings and off-street parking shall be attractively landscaped with trees, shrubs and grass lawns as required by the Planning Board. At least 15% of the gross area site shall be devoted to common open space suitable for use by the residents for recreation. Screening and fencing as regulated in Article XIII shall be provided along side and rear property lines as required by the Planning Board.

Screening and buffering. Where properties in the AH-2 Overlay Zone abut a residential zone, properties in the AH-2 Overlay Zone shall at least partially obscure the view of parking areas by screening such areas with fencing or landscaping or any combination thereof. Landscaping shall measure a minimum of eight feet in height at planting. Fencing shall not be less than six feet in height and shall conform to the fencing requirements at § 290-47, Fences and walls. Said screening shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Board, pursuant to site plan review.

Adequate lighting shall be provided for all common areas and pedestrian walkways.

All outdoor lighting, including streetlamps and accent lighting, should comply with "dark sky" standards intended to reduce light pollution. Dark sky standards require that lighting is downcast, illuminates only the intended areas, and does not cause disabling glare that affects driver safety and reduces the visibility of starry night skies.

Lighting shall be shielded to meet the following requirements:

Where the abutting property is residentially zoned and used, lighting shall meet the following requirements:

No parking lot lighting standard or building fixture designed to illuminate the ground shall exceed 18 feet in height from grade level, and no pedestrian lighting standard shall exceed 14 feet in height from grade level.

Through-wall air-conditioning units that project beyond the building wall are not permitted.

Refuse area design standards. The storage of refuse shall be provided inside the building(s) or within an outdoor area enclosed by either walls or opaque fencing at least six feet in height. Any refuse area outside of the building shall be designed to be architecturally compatible with the building(s) and shall not be located in the front of the building.

Buildings containing dwelling units located above the second story and requiring a second means of egress pursuant to the Uniform Construction Code shall not utilize an attached external fire escape as one of the required means of egress.

All parking areas shall conform with Article XVIII Off-Street Parking and Loading of the Municipal Code.
