from streets through combinations of moundtng, landscaping, low proffie walls
and grade separations. The design of parktrig areas should also mini mtze auto
noise, glare, and increases in ambient atr temperature. This can be
acco m pltshed through sound walls, screening with fences or hedges, b~es, and
separation of parking spaces and driveways from residences.
(a)
Site Design: Openness, reduced structure mass and convenience of
use should be characteristics of parktrig area design as implemented
by the folldwtng:
o
Parking areas (open and covered) shall be designed to provide
parking spaces conveniently locatad to the units they are
intended to serve.
Long, unbroken lines of opposing garages/carports on each
side of a drive atsle should be avoided. This l;ype of design
results in a "consbtcted alley" atmosphere.
Free standing garages/carports should be located not to
disrupt the primary view of residential structures.
Views to landscaped areas should be maintained at the ends of
drive atsles, Vistas should not be obscured by facing garages
or carports.
o
Planter breaks and spectal paving should be included along ~e
parking aisles. These features add interesting patterns to the
driveway/parkway area rhythm.

(~)
In order to open up more of the parking area to a~acent
landscaped areas and reduce the "alley" effect along the dreve
aisle, offset facing garages/carports are encouraged on
lengthy dr~ve aisles.
Architecture: Garage and carport structures should exhibit desSans
which are compatible, supporteve and fully integramd into the
overall architectural theme as implemented through the following
provi~fons:
Long sl:.uctures present difficulties in keeping proport"ions
appropriate with the ori~nal design intent on the main
structureS, and therefore, the garage/carport structures
should be limited to ~12 caM.
Recognize garage doom as an element of design rhythm and
use to create varying patterns. Extensive use of single width
garage doom should be avoided. The perception of increased
density can result from a parking area with large numbers of
garage dooM. An overly repetitious pattern of doom can be
monotonous and should be avoided.
o
"Flimsy", "stick-like" carport deigns which portray an add-
on, non-permanent perception are ot desirable characteristics
of a parking area. Substantial design elements should be
integrated into the sl~ucture to convey a more permanent
concept for the carport~

more spaces are designated to a single clwelllng unit. For
single Irage units, the Inside dimension shell be Increase{I

Landscaping/Open Space. Landscaping and open spaces must be designed as
an lntegral part of project design and enhance the butldtng design, enhance
public views and spaces and provide buffers and transitions where needed,
with emphasis on complementsrig grading and softening slope banks.
Landscaping must provide for solar access and shade to fac~itate energy
conservation, Open space slmould be prodded in concefftrmtmd areas large

Fencing/Screening, Fences and walls are discouraged unless needed for a
speclflc screening or safety purpose. W here they are needed, color, material
and variation of the vertical and horizontal planes are needed to blend with
the site and building design. The use of any fencing or walls should Oe
consistent with the overall design theme.

Lithting. Adequate on-site lighting should be provided to ensure a safe
environment while at the same time not cause areas of intense light or
glare. Fixtures and poles shall be designed and placed in a manner consistent
and compatible with the overall site and building design character.
Utilities and ~&ncillary Equipment. On-site utilities and equipment snell De
located in inconspicuous areas, away from puolic view. Where they are
located in public view, they shall be screened with a combination of material
that best suits the overall design theme.
Grading. Development should relate to the natural surroundings and minimize
grading by following the natural contours as much as possible. Graded slopes
should be rounded and contoured to blend with the existing terrain. Split-
level pads, built-up foundations, stepped footings, etc., can be used in areas
of moderate to steep gradient Above all, grading shall be designed to
complement the proJect's orientation, scale, height, design and transitions
with surrounding areas
10.
Fire Safety. Development should be designed in accordance with Fire
Disl~iCt requirements for two pointS of safe and ready access Areas
designatSd as high fire hazard areas should minimize fuel bmldup around
residences through greenbelts or cultivated fuel breaks.
11.
Transition of Density. The site plan should consider compatibility with
surrounding nelghbO~OOd through providing proper transition of density,
particularly on inffil sites adjacent to lower densities, Comparable densities,
open space buffer zones, increased setbacks and architectural compatibility
are encouraged along common boundaries to provide proper transition of
density. Clustering unitS can provide large open space areas as a buffer.
12.
Street Design. Vary sleet pattern to reduce streetscape monotony.
C urvqllnear streets, cul-de-sacs, front yard landscaping, and single-loaded
streets are encouraged to provide streetscape variety and visual interest,
particularly in the Low-Medium Oisrtct.
13.
House Plotting. Clustering houses around common space, zero lot line,
reverse plotting, angling house to the street, and side entry garages may be
permitted if they provide sl~tetscape variety and visual interest, particularly
in the Low-Medium Otsl3-ict,
Bmlding Design
Design Theme. A recognizable design theme shall be established which is
compatible wlth surrounding planned or existing developments and should be
based upon prominent design features in the im mediate area (e.g., trees,
landforms, historic landmarks), Subtle variations are encouraged which
provide visual interest but do not create abrupt changes causing discord in the
overall character of the tm mediate neighborhood, It is not intanded that one
style of architecture should be dominant but that individual structures shall
create and enhance a high quality and harmonious corn munity appearance.

Architecture. The architecture should consider compatibility with
surrounding character, including harmonious building style, form, size, color.
material and roof line. Individual dwelling units should be distinguishaOle
from one another and have separate entrances. Shadow patterns created bv
architectural elements sueh as overhangs, projection or recession of storie~,
~aleonies, reveals, and awnings contribute to a building's eharaeter while
aidlag in climate control. Further, changes in the roof level or planes provide
architectural interest. In particular, Low-Medium density and multi-family
residential dayelement should be designed with upBTaded architecture
through inereased delineation of surface treatment and architectural
details. The architectural concept should also complement the grading and
topography of the site.
Scale. The mass and scale of the building should be proportionate to the site,
open spaces, street locations and surrounding developments. Setbacks and
overall heights should provide an element of openness and human scale.
.~Iultiple family product type (i.e., apartment, condominiurn, townhouse) is
discouraged immediately adjacent to lower density single family areas. All
attached projects adjacent to existing one-story singIe family developments
shall be one story, unless the irnpaet of two-story structures on the existing
one-story neighborhood is fully mitigated with emphasis on privacy, views,
and general compatibility. Buildings should emph~e hor~tal a.~ well as
vertical apt:earmnee. This eoukl be achieved by the rome of pt'ojeetiorm or
recessions of storie8, baletinier, windows and doors, and changes in roof levels
and planes. In pnrtiettlar for multiple family product type, buildings over
three stories should connider stepping back.
.~laterials and Colors. Colors, textures and materials shall be coordinated to
achieve total compatibility of design. The materials and colors chosen should
complement the building character.
Si~ning~. Every building shall be designed with a precise concept for adequate
signing. Provisions for sign placement; sign scale in relationship with building
and readability shalI be: considered in developing the signing concept. While
providing the most effective signing, it shah also be highly compatible with
the building and site design relative to color, material and placement.
Equipment Screeninl~. Any equipment, whether on the roof, side of building.
or ~round, shall be screened. The method of screening shaft De
architecturally compatible in terms of material, color, shape, and size. The
screening design shall blend with the building design. Where individual
equipment is provided, a continuous screen is desirable.
