General Design and Construction Standards <br />Architecture <br />Section 1007.043 provides architectural standards for commercial and industrial buildings. <br />Specifically: <br />1. All sides of the principal and accessory structures are to have essentially the same or a <br />coordinated harmonious finish treatment pursuant to §1007. 043 (2) of this Ordinance. <br />The submittal shows an 8' x 10' guard house, but the structure is not shown on the site <br />plan and no information about the exterior finish details are provided. The site plan must <br />show the location of the guard house to ensure setbacks would be met and material <br />details must be provided to ensure harmonious finish treatment. <br />2. Exterior wall surfaces may be a combination of materials including brick, stucco, EFIS <br />(exterior finish insulation system), textured, colored or decoratively finished pre -cast or <br />poured -in -place concrete panel, textured concrete masonry units, natural stone, <br />manufactured stone, transparent, tinted or low -reflective glass, or decorative metal <br />cladding. <br />The building complies with this standard. <br />3. Stucco or EFIS shall constitute no more than thirty (30) percent of the primary, front <br />building elevation, and no more than sixty (60) percent of any side or rear building <br />elevation. Stucco or EFIS shall not extend closer than three (3) feet to the ground plane. <br />The building is precast concrete panels. No EFIS or stucco is proposed. <br />4. Decorative metal cladding refers to decorative, metal cladding systems such as copper, <br />zinc, titanium, stainless steel and painted steel components fixed to the outside of the <br />primary wall system. Complete or partial buildings comprised of structural metal wall <br />panel systems that act as the primary wall system, or as a complete wall system such as <br />pole barns or similar structures common to agricultural or industrial storage uses are <br />prohibited. <br />N/A <br />S. Buildings shall have a well-defined base, middle and top. The base should appear <br />visually distinct from the middle and top part (cornice) of the building through the use of <br />a change in building materials, color, window shape or size, an intermediate cornice <br />line, sign band, an awning, or similar techniques. <br />The plans generally show compliance, but material samples must be provided. <br />2 <br />
