All structures in the L-MU District shall meet the following design standards:

A.

Facade Articulation and Siting.

1.

Multi-story buildings shall be designed with a definable base, middle and top. Rooflines, cornice treatments and window designs should divide larger buildings.

2.

Blank walls are prohibited on all facades visible from the public right-of-way (excluding alleys), abutting a residential district or located along the lakefront.

3.

Large, flat facades shall be avoided, which can be accomplished by articulating the building mass to create substantial shadows and visual interest. Windows, projected entrances and overhangs must be included on the street facing façade to add variety and maintain a pedestrian-scale. When the sidewalls of a multi-family development face a street, building facades shall be designed with elements of a front façade, including doors and/or windows.

4.

Predominant facade colors must be subtle, neutral or earth-tone colors. Primary colors, high-intensity colors, metallic or fluorescent colors, and black are prohibited as predominant facade colors. Building trim and accent areas may be brighter and include primary colors.

5.

Outdoor dining and public outdoor seating areas are encouraged along any facade that abuts the lakefront.

6.

No overhead service doors or bays may face the lakefront. Loading and service areas must be internal to the development and may be accessed through internal service corridors.

B.

Fenestration.

1.

Windows shall be set back into or projected out from the facade to provide depth and shadow. Windows shall include visually prominent sills or other appropriate forms of framing. Awnings should be used to accentuate window openings and add interest to the design of the building.

2.

Roof forms shall be articulated so that varied planes and massing within the overall roof are provided. Large, monotonous, simple pitched roofs, without breaks in the expanse of the roof, are prohibited. Dormers and gables can be used to break up large expanses of roof area. For flat roofs, cornices and parapets should be used to add variety and break up the roofline. Rooflines shall be modulated at maximum every seventy-five feet through the use of varied roof heights.

3.

Non-residential units under twenty-five thousand square feet on the ground floor along a public street require fifty percent transparency comprised of clear windows or doors for the façade area between two feet and eight feet above the average grade for all walls that front on a public street or access area, which allows views of indoor space or product display areas. Parking structures or walls of structures that are used for ground floor parking are exempt from the transparency requirements; however, decorative elements and architectural elements are required to break up the façade. Windows shall be constructed of clear or lightly tinted glass. Tinting above twenty percent or reflective glass is prohibited. In-line retail is considered multiple uses with each unit counting individually towards the size requirement.

C.

Roof Design.

1.

Parapet walls shall feature three-dimensional cornice treatments or other shadow-creating detail elements along their tops.

2.

Green roof, blue roof and white roof designs are encouraged.

D.

Entrances.

1.

All buildings shall have a public entrance from the sidewalk along the primary street frontage. Public entrances should be articulated from the building mass.

2.

Secondary building entrances are encouraged on facades facing the lakefront.

3.

Facades that abut parking areas and contain a public entrance shall make provision for pedestrian walkways and landscape areas.

E.

Building Materials.

1.

The following materials are permitted for use on exterior elevations:

a.

Clay brick;

b.

Natural or cast stone;

c.

Aluminum, steel or other metal sidings;

View and Access Corridors for Diamond Lake.

2.

For new development, a public access promenade should be established along the lakefront no less than fifteen feet in width, of which a minimum of twelve feet must be a permanently constructed promenade. Those areas that do not consist of permanently constructed promenade must be landscaped and maintained in a manner that is visible to the public. Public access promenade improvements must be built and maintained by the property owner. Public access on private property is subject to reasonable rules and regulations as may be promulgated by the owner of such property and agreed to in writing by the zoning administrator. The completion of the promenade must coincide with the completion of the adjacent development on the property.
