i 1 YAN Buildings on Lots 1, 2 & 3 are designed to promote multiple tenants. A sign band of stucco and brick will organize individual signs at a consistent height. Signs will be individual 36" letters internally illuminated. See building elevations for wall- mounted sign locations. Building facades have three recognizable elements of base, middle and cornice. Corners of the east elevation (storefront side) are highlighted with brick pitched roof forms that repeat a vernacular common throughout the Village Center. Standing seam metal roofs are limited to end corners for visual interest and focus. Painted aluminum storefronts incorporate transom windows, canvas awnings and varied sill heights to provide facade transparency that strengthens the relationship of the buildings to the street. Brick and stucco piers with wall- mounted lights are spaced equally along the facade to provide for flexibility tenant configurations. The sides and rear of the buildings are integral- colored, rock face concrete masonry. Colors and accent textures reinforce the basic design concept of base, middle and cornice. All metal cap flashing and service doors will be painted to match the storefront color. View corridors between these buildings are framed with a brick archway or highlighted with an outdoor plaza. The intent is to provide visual or pedestrian connection to the public sidewalks. The sidewalks along these buildings will be primarily concrete with a scored pattern. Intersections of roads or other sidewalks will be highlighted with decorative contrasting color and/or material. Planting areas will be located at the ends of the parking lanes to help screen cars and to visually soften the transition of sidewalk and roads. Buildings on Lots 4 & 5 are intended to be designed with similar concepts as outlined above. Elevation and floor plans for these two buildings have not been developed, however they will have similar and tie -in feature detail. Buildings on Lots 6, 7, and 8 are larger and intended to be single tenant uses. The building facades are stepped back from each other to give each tenant a separate storefront. Tenants will be allowed to incorporate their proprietary retail image into the main facade. This will be the focal point over and around the main entry. Brick piers will flank the proprietary entry. Signs will be wall mounted with individual 60" letters internally illuminated. See building elevations for wall- mounted sign locations. Building corners are highlighted with brick arches or pilasters. The brick will extend two thirds up the facade and will terminate with an accent cornice line. The main field on the sides and rear of the building are integral- colored, rock face concrete masonry. " Color and accent textures reinforce the basic design concept of base, middle and cornice. All metal cap flashing and service doors will be painted to match the storefront color. Sidewalks along these buildings will be primarily concrete with a scored pattern.
