Sector One Building Design Design Standards & Guidelines All development in the existing neighborhoods should respect the scale and architecture of a traditional neighborhood. Building Scale Building sizes should be consistent with surrounding development and should be designed on a human scale. Buildings should not exceed three stories and buildings over two stories should be designed to ensure adequate privacy for adjacent residences. Apartment buildings should generally be limited to no more than 8 units per building. Buildings and entrances should be oriented to the street. Building Architecture & Materials Building materials and architecture should be high quality and attractive and be consistent with other buildings in the vicinity. Blank walls and bright colors should be avoided. Front porches are preferable for single - family homes. Design Requirements for New Residential Development In addition to the requirements listed above, new residential development in the Wonder World Drive corridor should be designed as an attractive, high quality neighborhood, rather than simply a collection of unrelated individual housing projects. Site Design 1. Buildings, including multi - family, should be oriented to the street with primary entrances connected to the public sidewalk system. 2. Parking lots and garages should follow the standards and guidelines outlined for the existing neighborhoods. 3. The streetscape should include relatively narrow neighborhood streets, sidewalks, and a generous planting strip for street trees. 4. Development should be based on the traditional neighborhood design principles identified in Part III of this appendix. Building Scale & Architecture Buildings should be designed on a human scale. Buildings should not exceed three stories and buildings over two stories should be designed to ensure adequate privacy for adjacent residences. Adopted: September 13, 2004 A -3 -6
