6 General Design and Construction Standards Architecture Section 1007.043 provides architectural standards for commercial and industrial buildings. Specifically: 1. All sides of the principal and accessory structures are to have essentially the same or a coordinated harmonious finish treatment pursuant to §1007.043 (2) of this Ordinance. The submittal shows an 8’ x 10’ guard house, but the structure is not shown on the site plan and no information about the exterior finish details are provided. The site plan must show the location of the guard house to ensure setbacks would be met and material details must be provided to ensure harmonious finish treatment. 2. Exterior wall surfaces may be a combination of materials including brick, stucco, EFIS (exterior finish insulation system), textured, colored or decoratively finished pre-cast or poured-in-place concrete panel, textured concrete masonry units, natural stone, manufactured stone, transparent, tinted or low-reflective glass, or decorative metal cladding. The building complies with this standard. 3. Stucco or EFIS shall constitute no more than thirty (30) percent of the primary, front building elevation, and no more than sixty (60) percent of any side or rear building elevation. Stucco or EFIS shall not extend closer than three (3) feet to the ground plane. The building is precast concrete panels. No EFIS or stucco is proposed. 4. Decorative metal cladding refers to decorative, metal cladding systems such as copper, zinc, titanium, stainless steel and painted steel components fixed to the outside of the primary wall system. Complete or partial buildings comprised of structural metal wall panel systems that act as the primary wall system, or as a complete wall system such as pole barns or similar structures common to agricultural or industrial storage uses are prohibited. N/A 5. Buildings shall have a well-defined base, middle and top. The base should appear visually distinct from the middle and top part (cornice) of the building through the use of a change in building materials, color, window shape or size, an intermediate cornice line, sign band, an awning, or similar techniques. The plans generally show compliance, but material samples must be provided.
