PASO ROBLES - Residential Architectural Standards <br />Roof Form <br />The form of the roof and the materials used on it create a significant part of the visual impact of a home, are critical in <br />defining the architectural style of the home, and will be carefully reviewed by the DRB. Gable, hip and shed roofs of <br />vernacular materials such as galvanized, weathered metal and raised seam are typical of hill country architecture, while <br />gambrel, flat, mansard and A -frame roofs will not be encouraged. Large roof forms or long, uninterrupted ridge lines <br />should be complemented with smaller forms, such as dormers or shed roofs. Roof pitch and overhang details are also a <br />defining element of the architectural type. Roof pitches and overhang details will be reviewed to ensure compliance with the <br />architectural style and intent. <br />Roof Materials <br />The following are permitted for use as primary roof materials in Paso Robles. All materials not listed below will be <br />evaluated individually by the DRB, provided they are consistent with the project theme, character, and quality as described <br />in the architectural vision. <br />• Concrete "S", "Barrel' or "Flat" Tile <br />• Clay "S" or "Barrel' Tile <br />• Metal roofing systems are allowable if and where indicated by the architectural style and as approved by the DRB. <br />Highly reflective metal roofing materials will be discouraged. <br />• Dimensional Asphalt shingles <br />• Wood shingles are prohibited roofing materials in all areas of Paso Robles. <br />Roof Colors <br />Roof colors shall be selected to complement the building exterior finish, and shall be a hue, tone or approved <br />blend of the following.

Metal or wrought iron features shall also be <br />painted a color complementary to the building facade, unless a decorative finish is intended (e.g., patina). A galvanized <br />finish is not allowable on any architectural feature. <br />Doors, Windows and Glass <br />Thoughtful design of the doors and windows incorporated into a building facade is pivotal to promoting a strong <br />architectural presence from public view in a community. Doors and windows shall be designed to reinforce the architectural <br />vision of Paso Robles and to be consistent with the architectural style of the home. All windows should be detailed with <br />architectural elements such as projecting sills, pop -outs, lintels, etc. <br />The following are additional standards provided that they are consistent with the architectural style of the home: <br />Paso Robles <br />MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY <br />
