C. These plaza spaces should be visible from the public street. Architecture These architectural framework standards provide an important balance between design continuity, desirable variety and the notion that buildings should complement, and perhaps contrast, but not compete with one another. The lasting appeal of the final outcome must be grounded in the authenticity of the design and the acceptable level of 'messiness' that comes with creating a real downtown over time; 'faux' second floors, stage set or themed solutions, and large faceless buildings are not acceptable.

Minimum Standards Definitions Build to line: The line at which construction of a building facade is to occur on a lot. The build to line provides a maximum setback for all building facades from the right-of-way or inside edge of the sidewalk, whichever is greater. The build to line applies to all facades abutting a street right of way. Build to line standards are based on the sub -district the parcel is located and the street in which the building is located upon. Setback: The minimum required distance between a parking lot or the vertical wall of a building and a lot line. Setbacks are typically more flexible than build to lines and allow a building to be set further back from the lot line and street right-of-way. Requirements: A. Additional development standards shall be defined within each sub -district. B. Provide a diverse mix of materials, applied in a variety of proportions, exposures and detailing within a block, or along a street. Design Framework - The COR Page 46 February 28, 2012
