Sector One Design Standards & Guidelines connections should provide access between each building. Except for designated crosswalks across driving lanes, pedestrian connections should not include painted walkways within a parking lot, but should be a sidewalk constructed to city standards. Floodplains Development within the 100 year floodplain is discouraged. Instead development density should be transferred to areas outside the floodplain. View Protection The views from Wonder World Drive north to the city are exceptional. Development within this corridor should be designed to preserve these views by limiting building heights, particularly the closer the buildings are to the road. Multi- family Development Multi- family development identified in Figure 1. Building Design should be designed consistent with the guidelines Building Scale Large scale retail development is appropriate along Wonder World Drive, with smaller scale commercial development on Hunter Rd. Building Architecture & Materials Building materials and architecture should be high quality and attractive, particularly for non - residential development visible from Wonder World Drive. Blank, monotonous walls should be avoided. Natural materials, such as brick and stone, are encouraged. Concrete block and metal siding should be avoided, particularly where Standard visible from a ublic road. T ical "bi box" architecture should be avoided in favor p Yp g of higher quality design (see Figure 2). Figure 2. Big Box Development Guidelines •Break up the mass of the building through building articulation (variations in height and depth) • Soften the apparent size of the building through architectural detail and foundation landscaping • Avoid large expanses of blank walls, particularly at ground level along pedestrianways Adopted: September 13, 2004 A -3 -8
