Prohibited Colors Proposed Colors <br />Fluorescent Colors No code variations are proposed. <br />Required Fa` ade Articulation Proposed Fa ade Articulation <br />Articulation of at least three feet (3) in depth Articulation as proposed on attached <br />shall be required for every fifty feet (50') in renderings. <br />vertical and/or horizontal surface length. Code <br />provides for other options. <br />4.04. Environmental. The Property Owner shall comply with all federal, state and <br />local storm water discharge registration, notification, monitoring and construction runoff <br />protection requirements and required erosion/sedimentation controls. With regard to <br />storm water drainage, the project shall not cause the run off of storm water drainage in <br />flows that are in excess of the existing flows off the Property in its present condition. In <br />addition the project will incorporate the following sustainable features: <br />a. Reduce impervious cover by creating landscape pockets. This property is <br />nearly 100% impervious as of today. This project will create landscape <br />pockets that will reduce the impervious cover to 88%. <br />Permitted Impervious Cover Proposed Impervious Cover <br />80% impervious cover permitted by LDC. 88% impervious cover proposed. Property is <br /> currently approximately 100% impervious <br /> cover. <br />b. Water runoff filtration will be achieved through the use of a landscape <br />bioswale. A common definition of a bioswale is as follows: <br />Bioswales are landscape elements designed to remove silt and pollution <br />from surface runoff water. They consist of a swaled drainage course with <br />gently sloped sides (less than six percent) and filled with vegetation, <br />compost and/or riprap. The water's flow path, along with the wide and <br />shallow ditch, is designed to maximize the time water spends in the swale, <br />which aids the trapping of pollutants and silt... A common application is <br />around parking lots, where substantial automotive pollution is collected by <br />the paving and then flushed by rain. The bioswale, or other type of <br />biofilter, wraps around the parking lot and treats the runoff before <br />releasing it to the watershed or storm sewer. <br />c. Reduce energy consumption through the use of passive solar design. <br />d. As required by the City code, reduce the amount of water consumption <br />through the use of native plants that require less irrigation. <br />e. Reduced Heat-Island effect by reducing the amount of asphalt, maximizing <br />the landscape mass, and providing shade to highly reflective materials. <br />f. Reduce over all carbon footprint by using regional and recycled materials (i.e. <br />Local Stone & Recycled Steel) <br />13
