•
a. A variation in building materials;
b. A building off-set of at least 1 foot;
c. A wall area that is entirely separated from other wall areas by a projection, such as an arcade;
or
d. By another design features that reflect the building's structural system. Buildings greater than
300 feet in length must provide a pedestrian connection between or through the building.
D. Weather protection.
1. Purpose. Weather protection is encouraged to create a better year-round pedestrian environment
and to provide incentive for people to walk rather than drive.
2. Standard. Weather protection for pedestrians, such as awnings, canopies, and arcades, must be
provided at building entrances. Weather protection is encouraged along building frontages
abutting a public sidewalk or a hard-surfaced expansion of a sidewalk, and along building
frontages between a building entrance and a public street or accessway.
E. Building materials.
1. Purpose. High quality construction and building materials suggest a level of permanence and
stature appropriate to a regional center.
2. Standard. Plain concrete block, plain concrete, corrugated metal, plywood, sheet press board, or
vinyl siding are prohibited as exterior finish materials.Foundation material may be plain concrete
or plain concrete block where the foundation material is not revealed for more than 2 feet.
F. Roofs and roof lines.
1. Purpose. Roof line systems that blur the line between the roof and the walls of buildings should
be avoided. This standard simply states that roofing materials should be used on the roof and that
wall finish materials should be use on building walls. The premise is that future buildings in the
WSRC should have a look of permanence and quality.
2. Standard. Except in the case of a building entrance feature, roofs must be designed as an
extension of the primary materials used for the building and should respect the building's
structural system and architectural style. False fronts and false roofs are prohibited.
G. Roof-mounted equipment.
1. Purpose. Roof top equipment, if not screened properly, can detract from views of adjacent
properties. Also, roofs and roof-mounted equipment can be the predominant view where
buildings are down slope from public streets.
yL} 2. Standard. All roof-mounted equipment must be screened to the S-1 standard as provided in
Section 18.420.050. Satellite dishes and other communication equipment must be set back or
positioned on a roof so that exposure from adjacent public streets is minimized. Solar heating
panels are exempt from this standard. (Ord. 18-28 §1;Ord. 18-23 §2;Ord. 17-22 §2)
