PASO ROBLES - Residential Architectural Standards <br />COMMON ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS <br />Common architectural materials should be utilized throughout Paso Robles to provide continuity that will help create the <br />sense of place being developed within Paso Robles. Although buildings may vary with style, the design should support a <br />unified area image rather than be singular to a specific building. Elements and materials not described below will be <br />evaluated individually by the DRB, provided they are consistent with the corridors theme, character, and quality. Roof <br />pitches, windows, columns and other details appropriate for applicable regional styles can be found and shall be consistent <br />with those regional styles. <br />Exterior Finish Materials <br />All sides of a building shall be coherently designed and treated. A consistent level of detailing and finish is required for all <br />sides of a building unless the building is not visible from public view. <br />Primary facades of all buildings shall be masonry, siding, stucco, or a balanced composite of these materials. EIFS material <br />is only allowable as used on architectural accents and features. Finish textures shall be compatible with the architecture of <br />the building. <br />The number of primary exterior materials shall be limited to three (not including architectural accent features, roofing <br />materials and window glass). The dominant primary cladding material shall extend around the corner to a building massing <br />break located not less than 10' from the building corner or to coincide with natural terminations created by roof massing or <br />similar architectural feature. Metal siding, and reflective, mirrored or unusually colored glass are not allowable. <br />Exterior Finish Colors <br />The color palette for Paso Robles is inspired by the colors found in the landscape or as commonly applied to a particular <br />architectural style. Building colors will be selected to support the architectural theme and to promote a strong community <br />image. In general, building materials having warm hues, such as earth tones and other warm natural colors, will be <br />appropriate for all structures in Paso Robles. All proposed colors shall be submitted for approval to the DRB prior to <br />construction. The following is a list of colors that are generally acceptable for expressed architectural features: <br />• Masonry: (Earth tones) <br />o Reds <br />o Browns <br />o Light Tans <br />o Natural Whites (stark whites are not allowable) <br />• Stucco: <br />o Warm whites <br />o Buffs <br />o Beiges <br />o Creams <br />o Light Pastels <br />• Stone: Regionally Quarried colors are permitted so long as they are not garish in nature. <br />• Brick: <br />o Earth tones <br />o Warm natural colors <br />• Black is permitted for use as an accent color, but is not to be used as a primary building color.
