guidelines for each project must include attention to previous projects in order to coordinate design throughout the study area. After being refined in collaboration with City staff, design requirements shall be incorporated into the approval of the development. • Buildings must be designed with "four-sided architecture", using the same quality materials on all sides. o All facades shall be articulated with a variety of materials, glazing, awnings, or other details to add visual interest. o Building design elements should include an expression of a building base (of brick or stone), a middle, and a top with cornice elements at the top of the first floor and the top of the building. o Roof lines and cornice details shall be completed in a three-dimensional manner so that the features on the back of the roof or similar unfinished areas are not visible o The front fagade may have a unique design or more significant glazing. • Commercial buildings must incorporate trash and service areas within the buildings rather than utilizing outdoor enclosures. This will conserve land and maximize the potential for outdoor seating and pedestrian friendly amenities. • It is not the intent of this plan to specify housing unit styles. However, garage units must not access directly onto the main access drive or the main public streets through the development . • The Hodgson/Co Rd J intersection is a gateway and appropriate elements are to be included in the development of the corners of this intersection. • The interface between new residential and commercial uses should be flexible. For example, new development in central areas can be multi -family, commercial, or mixed use. This would be consistent with the flexible land use lines noted above. Maintaining safety and quality of life are important considerations. • Lighting is to be appropriately scaled to a pedestrian friendly development. Lighting should be directed downward and screened to reduce light pollution, glare, and impacts on adjacent residential areas. • Security or service lighting should be limited in coverage area and designed to reduce glare.
