inadequate architectural treatment, increase maintenance, and create dated
building design and previous projects have not adequately addressed the design
concerns; and

development; and

established urban design guidelines and standards of the Industrial Specific
Plan; and

These design policies expound the established Urban Design Guidelines of the
Industrial Specific Plan and shall apply to all industrial buildings within
the Specific Plan area.
SECTION 2: Design Criteria

B. All building entrances shall be well articulated and
project a formal entrance statement through
variations of architectural planes, pavement surface
treatment, and landscape plazas, as well as relate
to pedestrians.

the landscape plazas, should be designed to relate
to and connect with the area-wide network of open
space, thus, unifying and fostering a sense of
community.
D. The degree of architectural treatment and
embellishments must relate to the scale and mass of
the building.
E. Accent treatment, such as changes in exterior
materials and texture, is required.
F. The creative use of building materials is
required. A minimum of two (2) primary building
materials shall be used. The recommended primary

sandblasted concrete, textured block, brick,
granite, marble, and similar materials as
approved by the Design Review Committee.
° Secondary building materials - glass, tile,
