Architecture <br />These architectural framework standards suggest an important balance between design continuity, <br />desirable variety and the notion that buildings should complement, and perhaps contrast, but not <br />compete with one another. The lasting appeal of the final outcome must be grounded in the <br />authenticity of the design and the acceptable level of 'messiness' that comes with creating a real <br />downtown over time; 'faux' second floors, stage set or themed solutions, and large faceless buildings <br />are not acceptable. <br />Figure xx <br />Auto Versus Human Design <br />Minimal <br />rt_ -"Front <br />ront <br />Entrance <br />Little Roof Modulation <br />Garages and Driveways <br />Predominate <br />Aifey in lieu of Driveway Prominent <br />r / Roof <br />Module OP <br />Walkway <br />omin ent <br />Front Entrance <br />Providing rear alleys enables the home to present itself to the street, which promotes sociability and walkability. <br />Minimum Standards <br />Definitions <br />Build to line: The line at which construction of a building facade is to occur on a lot. The build to line <br />provides a maximum setback for all building facades from the right-of-way or inside edge of the <br />sidewalk, whichever is greater. The build to line applies to all facades abutting a street right of way. <br />Build to line standards are based on the sub -district the parcel is located and the street in which the <br />building is located upon. <br />Setback: The minimum required distance between a parking lot or the vertical wall of a building and a <br />lot line. Setbacks are typically more flexible than build to lines and allow a building to be set further <br />back from the lot line and street right-of-way. <br />Requirements: <br />A. Development standards shall be defined within each sub -district. <br />B. Residential development should provide variety within the subdivision to avoid monotony. <br />Developers are encouraged to include front porches and windows that face all streets. Corner <br />units are encouraged to have more than one window per side of building to help create a sense <br />of place in the community and promote safety on the street. <br />C. Buildings should be articulated to break up the building facade on all elevations. Rooflines and <br />building elevations should be articulated to break up the mass of buildings.
