   K.   Performance Standards To Be Considered: The following performance standards for subdivisions and their design shall be developed as follows:

      1.   Relation To Lot: There shall be private open areas on the lot related appropriately to its functional areas. The lot shall be so shaped in scale as to provide for reasonable alternatives for home placements. Moving the mobile home onto the lot must, of course, be possible, but in subdivisions the amount of movement shall be limited. In subdivisions, provisions for positioning of the unit on the lot and for moving it out are only incidental to the total subdivision design. Location of drives, parking areas, carports and garages must be on individual mobile home lots or in the appropriate area. The parking areas must be easy and safe for entrance and convenience from all directions within the subdivision and from the street or highway. Driveways and car shelters shall not be located to interfere with desirable views from the mobile home or from important open areas on the site.

      2.   Relation Of Lots To Each Other: The mobile home as well as functional areas on individual lots shall complement and supplement those on adjacent lots. Open areas shall flow onto open areas enhancing primary views. Areas on one lot where it is desirable to enclosure with structures, vegetated screening or fences shall adjoin similar areas on neighboring lots. "Fronting" to the inside of a subdivision block has the definite advantages of providing a "view potential", and providing a play area for children. Facing the mobile home groupings inward improves the views, unifies pedestrianways and interrelates streets, drives, car storage and garbage and trash pick up functions.

Interior areas within the mobile home groupings shall be designed to encourage neighborliness. Interblock arrangements shall include easy access from the entrances of mobile homes in the grouping.

      3.   General Subdivision Pattern Relation Of Elements: The general subdivision, built from mobile home groupings, shall fit topography, requirements for circulation, and requirements for provision of community facilities and utilities.

The street pattern shall serve, not shape, the lots in the subdivision. Lands devoted to streets shall be held to a minimum compatible with performance of street related functions. Minor streets shall feed at well spaced intervals and well designed intersections into collector streets and arteries for fast moving traffic.

General site planning shall adapt to individual site conditions, the type of market to be served, reflect advances in site planning techniques, and be adapted to the trends and designs of the mobile home trailer. A site plan, which conforms to and preserves terrain, existing trees, shrubs and rock formation, is highly preferred. (Ord. 2001-2, 6-12-2001)

The following permanent facilities shall be installed and available to and for each mobile home lot:

   A.   Streets and driveways shall be installed and paved to a minimum width of twenty four feet (24') and conform to municipal subdivision standards.

   B.   Sanitary drinking water system, inspected and approved by the department of health, providing adequate pressure with appropriate water connections for domestic usage.

   C.   Sanitary sewage disposal system, inspected and approved by the department of health, with appropriate water and odortight sewerage connections for mobile home usage. Connection between storm water drainage systems and sewage disposal systems shall not be permitted.

   D.   Insect and rodent control measures shall be employed to maintain healthful and sanitary conditions.

      1.   Twenty four (24) hour custodial or caretaker service. (Ord. 2001-2, 6-12-2001)

The following standards for continuing the operations of a mobile home trailer park subdivision shall be imposed upon each owner or operator thereof:

      3.   The make, model, year and license number of each mobile home.

      4.   The state, territory or country issuing such licenses.

      5.   The date of arrival and of departure.

      6.   The lot number and location within the park subdivision.

      7.   A registry of all school age children.

The register shall be kept available at all times for inspection by law enforcement officers, public health officials and other officials whose duties necessitate the acquisition of the information contained in the register.

The attendant or caretaker shall be answerable with the owner for the violation of any provision of these standards to which the licensee or permittee is subject. The owner or caretaker must be available at all times or be accessible by telephone.

   C.   Suspension And Revocation Of License: Following proper identification and adequate time for correction, the department of public health may suspend or revoke any license to maintain and operate a park subdivision when the owner has been found to be violating any provision of these standards.

   D.   Posting Of License And Transfer: The license certificate and certificate of occupancy shall be conspicuously posted in the office of or the premises of the park subdivision at all times.

It is the intention of the outdoor museum district zoning regulations to implement a tool to retain the architectural character of the designated area on the adopted zoning map. This area contains Nauvoo's first settlement and many buildings date back to the 1840's and have been restored or replicated. These regulations are intended to preserve the existing historic buildings and to discourage the construction of new buildings that are inappropriate. This area is rich in history, draws thousands of tourists, contains two (2) visitor centers, provides an area for guided tours, and hosts many outdoor festivities. This is one of the most important areas in the city to preserve the community's heritage and uniqueness.

It is recommended that new construction and renovation projects follow these design guidelines:

   A.   New Construction:

      1.   New construction and facade rehabilitation should maintain horizontal and vertical spacing of elements similar to other buildings on the block (e.g., doors, windows, storefronts).

      2.   Windows should be recessed and not flush with the exterior walls. Proportions should be similar to the other buildings on the block.

      3.   Rooflines of new construction should be similar to those of adjacent buildings. This helps maintain the rhythm of the streetscape.

      4.   Exterior materials for facades and details should blend with existing adjacent buildings.

      5.   Storefronts should be designed with the largest possible window area in keeping with the style of storefronts of adjacent buildings.

      6.   Exteriors should be painted with colors that blend with the older buildings in the area and are appropriate for a downtown setting. These colors are typically earth tones that are found in natural materials (e.g., browns, grays, deep reds, deep greens).

   B.   Restoration And Renovation To Existing Buildings:

      1.   The historic character of a property should be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alterations of features and spaces that characterize a property should be avoided.

      2.   Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize an historic property should be preserved.

      3.   Deteriorated historic features should be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature should match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials.

      4.   Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials should not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, should be undertaken using the gentlest means possible.

      5.   New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction should not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work should be differentiated from the old and should be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.

      6.   New additions and adjacent or related new construction should be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

      7.   Exteriors should be repainted with colors that are appropriate to the historic building or district.

      8.   Roofs should be protected and maintained by cleaning the gutters and downspouts, replacing deteriorated flashing, and repairing leaks in the roof material. This prevents extensive water damage which can deteriorate older buildings rapidly.

      9.   Replacement windows, storefront doors should maintain the same design style, size and decorative details as the original to the greatest extent possible.

      10.   Window openings that have been blocked or screened by concrete block, brick, or plywood, etc., should be reopened to reestablish the original rhythm of the facade.

      11.   When it is no longer practical to have all existing windows open into the interior, owners should try placing a black panel behind the glass to preserve the exterior rhythm and character of the facade rather than covering the window from the exterior.

      12.   When designing for new or additional means of access, or when providing barrier free access for the disabled, the accesses should be compatible with the historic property and its setting while preserving significant historic features.

      13.   Existing modern homes may follow the design style of their residence in the construction of new accessory uses. Homeowners are not required to build their accessory uses to replicate a certain time period. (Ord. 2001-2, 6-12-2001)

None required for single-family or horticultural development. Site plans shall be required in accordance with the provisions of chapter 9 of this title for all other uses permitted in this district. (Ord. 2003-11, 4-13-2004; amd. Ord. 2004-14, 6-14-2005)

It is the intention of the central business district zoning regulations to implement a tool to retain the architectural character of Nauvoo's downtown. This can be accomplished by preserving existing historic buildings and by discouraging the construction of new buildings that are inappropriate. The result will add a reinforced sense of community and create a pleasing environment for residents by preserving the community's identity and uniqueness.

It is recommended that new construction and renovation projects follow these design guidelines:

   A.   New Construction:

      1.   Align the front facade of the new building with established setbacks of adjacent structures. In the central business district, all structures should be built to the street right of way unless the adjoining buildings are set back. Where no structures exist on a block, new buildings should be built to the street right of way. On corner lots, new construction should be built out to the sidewalk on the side and the front shall be set back ten feet (10') from the property line, from the first floor only, to increase visibility for motorists. Building cutaways at the corner are also allowed.

      2.   New construction and facade rehabilitation should maintain horizontal and vertical spacing of elements similar to other buildings on the block (e.g., doors, windows, storefronts).

      3.   Windows should be recessed and not flush with the exterior walls. Proportions should be similar to the other buildings on the block.

      4.   Rooflines of new construction should be similar to those of adjacent buildings. This helps maintain the rhythm of the streetscape.

      5.   Exterior materials for facades and details should blend with existing adjacent buildings.

      6.   Storefronts should be designed with the largest possible window area in keeping with the style of storefronts of adjacent buildings.

      7.   Exteriors should be painted with colors that blend with the older buildings in the area and are appropriate for a downtown setting. These colors are typically earth tones that are found in natural materials (e.g., browns, grays, deep reds, deep greens).

      8.   The use of fabric awnings and awning valances for signage is encouraged.

   B.   Restoration And Renovation To Existing Buildings:

      1.   The historic character of a property should be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alterations of features and spaces that characterize a property should be avoided.

      2.   Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property should be preserved.

      3.   Deteriorated historic features should be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature should match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials.

      4.   Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials should not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, should be undertaken using the gentlest means possible.

      5.   New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction should not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work should be differentiated from the old and should be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.

      6.   New additions and adjacent or related new construction should be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

      7.   Exteriors should be repainted with colors that are appropriate to the historic building or district.

      8.   Roofs should be protected and maintained by cleaning the gutters and downspouts, replacing deteriorated flashing, and repairing leaks in the roof material. This prevents extensive water damage which can deteriorate older buildings rapidly.

      9.   Replacement windows, storefront doors should maintain the same design style, size and decorative details as the original to the greatest extent possible.

      10.   Window openings that have been blocked or screened by concrete block, brick, or plywood, etc., should be reopened to reestablish the original rhythm of the facade.

      11.   When it is no longer practical to have all existing windows open into the interior, owners should try placing a black panel behind the glass to preserve the exterior rhythm and character of the facade rather than covering the window from the exterior.

      12.   When designing for new or additional means of access, or when providing barrier free access for the disabled, the accesses should be compatible with the historic property and its setting while preserving significant historic features. (Ord. 2001-2, 6-12-2001)
