(f) Architectural Form, Scale, and Materials. The goal of these guidelines is to assure <br /> that Neighborhood Centers present an architectural appearance that is visually compatible <br /> with -adjacent residential areas, and complementary to the image of the community as a <br /> whole. <br /> (1) The scale of buildings or canopies will be at an appropriate scale in <br /> relationship to .the residential neighborhood to prevent domination <br /> that may overpower the surrounding area in height or building mass. <br /> Except residential uses by planned unit development, buildings will <br /> not be greater than 3 stories in height. A minimum ten (10 foot) front <br /> setback from the property line is required. A maximum thirty (30 foot) <br /> front setback from the property line is required. For residential <br /> buildings of more than 3 stories, the building must be setback as <br /> required in "R-1" zones. A building massing model or computer <br />_ image visualization may be required of the applicant.. <br /> (2) Forms and finish masonry or wood materials of buildings, signage, <br /> gasoline pump canopies and other accessory structures will be made <br /> compatible with and relate to the architectural character of the <br /> adjacent area. The design will adhere to the commercial building <br /> requirements of Section 10.14, except that natural wood products or <br /> low/no maintenance steel or vinyl sidings may be used on up to 50% <br /> of the building's vertical walls. <br /> (3) For structures of three stories or less, sloped roofs will be utilized on <br /> the main structure. <br /> (4) Mechanical equipment on building exteriors, roofs, or parking areas <br /> will be screened from view from all public streets and adjoining <br /> properties. <br /> (5) Trash will be screened and enclosed (with a roof) in masonry faced <br /> enclosures or will'be stored completely within the main structure. <br /> (6) Vending machines must be within the building and not visible from <br /> the public right-of-way. <br /> (g) Site Design Standards. The goal of mixed use neighborhood design standards is to <br /> create a' quality building and site design compatible with surrounding residential <br /> developments. To do this, the City will regulate landscaping, building materials, signage, <br /> lighting, noise, storage, ratios of impervious materials coverage, and access points for <br /> pedestrians, bikers, and vehicles. <br /> 22 <br />
