Mr. Rawls also introduced Lynn Clements, Director - Museums and Cultural Arts, and Mark Reed, Historic

It was here that:
The permanent English colonization of North American began
English ownership of the land was officially established and
announced to all other colonizing powers by the erection of a
cross
The first election in the new colony was conducted
The rule of law was established as the first trial by jury was held
Overall, much of what we know today as a system of government and the American way of life had its very
first roots here in what would become Virginia Beach.
Mr. Rawls advised if there is any scared ground in Virginia Beach it is Cape Henry, This should be
acknowledged in every possible way. First Landing should be emphasized in the concept and naming
opportunities established. Mr. Rawls has suggested Economic Development name a Fountain in Town
Center: "First Landing Fountain".

been secured. John White drew the depictions of all the early Indian Villages. The originals are housed in
the British Museum and too fragile to travel. However, the prints are the first quality and will be exhibited
at the Contemporary Art Center.

The principal property owners of the historic site at Cape Henry are the U.S. Army at Fort Story, the
Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APV A) and the National Park Service (NPS).
Additionally, the City of Virginia Beach has a strong vested interest in the historical events that occurred
here, Much to the credit of the current command of Fort Story, Lieutenant Commander Rehorn, the Army
has now agreed to host and coordinate a planning effort that will allow all of the involved parties to consider
both the short and long term needs of the Cape Henry historic site from the perspectives of the primary users
and to work toward the redevelopment of a collaborative plan of action. A Memorandum of Understanding
has been developed to provide a framework for preservation and development planning. This
Memorandum of Understanding requires the approval of City Council,
James B, Babcock, Chair - Cape Henry Subcommittee, advised that discussions involving a Memorandum
of Understanding commenced August 2001. Mr, Babcock expressed appreciation to Council Lady Wilson,
for her efforts on behalf of the Committee.

CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AMENDMENTS
1:45 P.M.
ITEM # 53084
Andrew M Friedman, Director - Housing and Neighborhood Preservation, accompanied by Alex Davis,
Code Enforcement Administrator, advised the Initiatives to Improve Code Compliance and Neighborhood
Appearance. These initiatives are in response to City Council's priorities,
Current Scope of Code Enforcement Activities
Enforcement of the maintenance provisions of the building code
for existing housing and other structures
Enforcement of property maintenance ordinances, including
inoperable vehicles, junk, overgrowth, litter
Enforcement of the Waste Management Code
Enforcement re: Hazardous trees/Unsafe gas appliances
Abatement/enforcement of graffiti ordinance
Placarding/Demolition of Unsafe buildings
Rental Inspections (interior and exterior)
32,632 total properties inspected in FY 2003-2004 by 21 inspectors
7,355 Building exterior citations
8,595 overgrowth citations
5,108 inoperable vehicles cited
4,254 Waste Management citations,
Six initiatives to be presented:
Waste Management - Provide uniform restrictions on
placement of waste collection items at the street
Waste Management - Institute civil penalties that will
decriminalize violations and hopefully accelerate
compliance
Cars Parked on Lawns - conduct a public input process
on a proposed ordinance
Shopping Carts - A voluntary program partnership with
the Retail Alliance to quickly remove abandoned carts
from public property
Revisions to the Rental Inspection program to comply
with state law changes
Possible consolidation of vehicle-related inspection
functions
October 12, 2004

CITY MANA GER 'S BRIEFING
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AMENDMENTS
ITEM # 53084 (Continued)
Waste Management/Bulky Items
Proposed Change - establish time limitations for placing bulky items
at the curb consistent with other waste items
Background: Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation
enforces compliance with the current waste management regulations
There is an inconsistency in requirements regarding when items can be
placed at the curb
Currently, bulky items may be put at the curb prior to 5:00 P.M. on the
day before collection. In addition, tree limbs may be put out before
collection day. As proposed, nothing could be placed at the curb before
5:00 P,M, on the day before collection day,
Will impact landscape firms and property owners because debris and
waste from work done cannot be put out ahead of time
Consideration: Without this ordinance, bulky items may be and are put
out regardless of collection day schedule. This is inconsistent with the
City's goal of having streets clear of debris and waste except during
the 24 hours surrounding collection day.
Adopt an ordinance to amend the code to provide for consistent
placement times for all waste items
BY CONSENSUS, Code Enforcement shall reconsider amending the Code re placement of yard debris.
Mr, Friedman advised relative private waste haulers and the unreasonable times of pick-up in certain multi
family neighborhoods at the Resort, he will contact Wade Kyle, Administrator - Waste Management. Mr.
Kyle is in charge of the regulations governing private haulers. Mr. Friedman believes the time of pick-up
needs to be uniform. Concerning the behavioral issues of the City haulers, Mr, Friedman advised this was
a staffmanagement issue and he will advise Mr. Kyle.
Waste Management/Civil Penalties
Proposed Change:
Utilize civil penalties rather than criminal penalties to enforce
specific portions of the waste management code
This would apply to the use of proper receptacles, time for
placing items at the street and proper removal of containers after
collection
October 12, 2004
- 8-
CITY MANA GER 'S BRIEFING
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AMENDMENTS
ITEM # 53084 (Continued)
Current Practice:
Example: a citation is issued if a person leaves items at the
street outside of allowable times. This violation is now a Class 1
Misdemeanor
Failure to comply within 24 hours will result in a summons being
issued
A summons requires a court date (normally 30 to 60 days in the
future),
Considerations:
Current requirement for a sU;.mmons after initial notice can delay
compliance
A criminal charge seems severe for this type of violation
Proposed Practice:
A warning notice is required for the first occurrence of a violation
Upon failure to comply, a civil summons will be issued, which
requires the payment of a monetary penalty. The penalty is owed
unless the person wishes to contest it in Court, There is no
criminal charge or conviction.
This approach should result in accelerated compliance because
the penalty is immediately assessed instead of having to go to
court
The process is expected to require less of the inspector's time to
achieve compliance.
In addition, violators are not subject to having a criminal
conviction on their record
Use this as a "pilot" test of civil penalty enforcement, which
could be applied to other property maintenance issues ifit proves
effective,
Adopt the ordinance authorizing the use of civil penalties to
enforce the waste management ordinance
BY CONSENSUS, an Ordinance shall be scheduled authorizing the use of civil penalties to enforce the waste
management ordinance.

CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AMENDMENTS
ITEM # 53084 (Continued)
Cars Parked On Lawns
Background:
Currently this is not regulated
Council Members, staff and citizens have identified this as a
concern
A survey two years ago found an even split between citizens who
would and would not like to see it regulated.
Proposed Ordinance:
It shall be unlawful to park, or to allow the parking oj, an
unattended motor vehicle having more than two wheels on any
lot on which a single-family residence or duplex is located,
except within a garage or carport, on a driveway or behind the
nearest portion of a building adjacent to a public street
Key elements of the draft ordinance:
Prohibit the parking of cars in front of the house, except on
driveways with improved surfaces
Make the prohibition only effective
a. in single-family or duplex areas
b, where on-street parking is allowed
Allow limited parking on yards only in the following
circumstances:
a. where there is no curb, and then only immediately
adjacent to and parallel to the paved area
b, only in areas where the paved area is less than xx width
Considerations
Whether property owners will enlarge their driveways
significantly in order to allow additional parking, which will
increase the paved area while not reducing the parking of
vehicles in front of houses.
This issue can be reviewed and addressed after implementation
to determine results

CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AMENDMENTS
ITEM # 53084 (Continued)
Council Action Requested:
Indicate your potential support for the ordinance and support for
stafJ to conduct a community input process
Depending on the results of community input, this ordinance, a
revised ordinance, or no decision could be brought forward
According to State Code, Deputy City Attorney Macali advised an inoperable motor vehicle can be parked
where it cannot be seen from the street level. These aforementioned initiatives refer to operable motor
vehicles, which could be parked along the side of the house,
Mr. Friedman advised this ordinance will be as consistent as feasible with the existing mobile recreational
vehicles ordinance. Mr. Friedman advised information will be presented at a later City Council Session
relative all vehicle enforcement being conducted by one (1) inspector,
BY CONSENSUS, City Council directed the stafJto conduct a community input process.
Abandoned Shopping Carts
Problem:
Shopping carts utilized by store customers are abandoned and on
public property including sidewalks, ditches and streets
This abandonment causes both safety and aesthetic concerns.
Retailers do not necessarily know when/where carts are
abandoned
Some retailers exert more efJort than others to get carts back
Background:
The City Attorney's Office researched solutions from around the
country and developed a proposed ordinance
The proposed ordinance would provide that the City could
remove and store abandoned carts and notifY the owner
If the owner did not retrieve them within a specified time, the
owner would be assessed removal, storage and disposal costs
This solution would have involved City resources in the actual
pick-up and storage of carts
October 12, 2004

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AMENDMENTS
ITEM # 53084 (Continued)
Action Planned
The Retail Alliance has proposed a voluntary pilot program:
The City would provide notification of abandoned carts
Retailers or the Retail Alliance would pick them up
Staff is developing an agreement to operate a joint voluntary
pilot program with the Retail Alliance for a defined period of
time
Voluntary program will begin with a "soft start" on
November First
After operational details are worked out, public
notification will begin in early December
Under the program, cart owners have forty-eight (48)
hours after receiving notification from the City to remove
their carts from public property
If not removed, the Retail Alliance promises to remove
them within twenty-four (24) hours after that
After ninety days (90), staff and the Retail Alliance will
review the program and determine what improvements can
be made
After one hundred twenty (120) days an evaluation will be
conducted
Staff will consider options to recommend at that time,
including continuing the program or adopting an
ordinance
Councilman Maddox has been involved in the discussions of abandoned shopping carts and will assist in
review of the program.
BY CONSENSUS, staff shall move forward re abandoned shopping carts initiatives
Revised Rental Inspection Ordinance
New state law effective July 1, 2004 requires all existing local rental
inspection ordinances to comply with new requirements no later than
July 1,2005

CITY MANA GER'S BRIEFING
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE AMENDMENTS
ITEM # 53084 (Continued)
These requirements differ from the requirements under which our
current program operating since 1989, was created
Current Program Information:
3,284 rental Certificate of Compliance inspections were
conducted in FY 2003-2004
Program provides a two-year exemption for multi-family
properties that show few violations
All rental units can be inspected upon a change of occupancy,
but not more than annually
Key Changes from Current Requirements:
City Council, rather than the City Manager, must approve
designation of any area, or any specific property outside an area,
subject to the rental inspection ordinance
All rental units within an area are subject to initial inspection
and subsequent annual inspection except:
Units that pass inspection receive a four-year exemption
from annual inspections
Any unit can be inspected based upon a tenant complaint
or observed violation
How we will develop the New Program:
Areas must be designated based on number, age and condition of
rental properties
Staff conducted a survey of the condition of apartments and
condominiums in early 2004, This information will be key to
identifying the areas for designation
Staff is developing a proposed program for consideration and
adoption by City Council in early 2005
Staff will consult with key stakeholders, including Tidewater
Builders Association/Multifamily Housing Council and Hampton
Roads Realtors Association, in the development of the proposed
program.
The staff from the Department of Housing and Neighborhood Preservation and the Planning Department
are discussing ways to more effectively conduct all vehicle-related enforcement activities on private
property. This may result in some transfer of responsibilities and having one (1) Inspector handle all vehicle
related enforcement activities.

Permit for motor vehicle sales of more than one (1) car. If an individual wishes to sell one (1) car on his
property, this is permissible; however the sale of two (2) or more motor vehicles requires a Conditional Use
Permit.

6 WHEREAS, in May 2002, City Council established the Virginia Beach/Jamestown 2007
7 Steering Committee to initiate plans and advise Council regarding commemorative activities for
8 the 2007 commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first permanent English
9 colonists;
10 WHEREAS, in June 2003, the Virginia Beach/Jamestown 2007 Steering Committee's
11 organizational and planning efforts resulted in the recognition of Virginia Beach as one of
12 approximately 20 pilot communities by the Jamestown 2007 statewide steering committee;
13 WHEREAS, participants in the Jamestown 2007 Community Program are encouraged to
14 establish legacy projects that will be completed by 2007, will have a lasting and worthy impact
15 on the community in which it is located, and will serve to commemorate past and future
16 achievements of the state;
17 WHEREAS, the Virginia Beach/Jamestown 2007 Steering Committee has nominated the
18 following four projects for Virginia Beach, based on their potential for improving the quality of
19 life in Virginia Beach by addressing the environmental, recreational, historical and economic
20 needs and opportunities in our city:
21 Virginia Beach Convention Center - Scheduled for completion in 2007, this state of the
22 art facility will have a major impact upon Virginia Beach's visitor and convention
23 industry as well as provide an architectural icon for the city.
24 Restoration of the Thoroughgood House - This structure is a National Historic
25 Landmark. Since its recent acquisition by the City of Virginia Beach, restoration efforts
26 have been underway that will protect its historic features and also further authenticate its
27 historic past.
28 Lynnhaven River 2007 - Organized as a coalition of citizens, city government and
29 various environmental groups, Lynnhaven River 2007 hopes to improve the ecological
30 health of the river and create a greater public appreciation of its needs and history. As a
31 measure of the river's health, one of the organization's goals is to make it possible to
32 once more harvest consumable oysters from this historic body of water.
33 Improvements at First Landing State Park - In preparation for 2007 and more, First
34 Landing State Park is undergoing major improvements in the amount of more than $2.5
35 million that will make it a centerpiece for many of the planned 2007 activities. This is

Memorandum of Understanding
Among
The United States Army
The National Park Service
The Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities
and
The City of Virginia Beach
Whereas, federal agencies are required through Section 106 and 110 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (NHP A) to preserve and maintain historic properties to
standards set forth by the Secretary of Interior.
Whereas, the Secretary of the Interior determined in April 2003 that the historic district
within the Fort Story Installation is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP).
Whereas, the United States Army, the National Park Service (NPS) and the Association
for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APV A) manage historic properties within
the Fort Story Historic District.
Whereas, Executive Order 13287 (Sec. 2), invites public and private entities to playa part
in historic preservation processes and to form appropriate partnerships on federal
properties to promote local economic development and vitality.
Whereas, the APV A and the City of Virginia Beach have expressed interest in
participating in the development and preservation of an interpretative area within the Fort
Story Historic District for the upcoming Virginia Beach 2007 celebration.
Whereas, the National Historic Light House Preservation Act of 2000 (NHLHP A)
facilitates the transfer of light towers and associated complexes to private entities.
Whereas, the APV A has agreed to assume control of the newer U.S. Coast Guard light
tower and attendant structural complex and will use proceeds from tourism to maintain
the structures to Department of Interior standards.
Whereas, development of a controlled access interpretive area will greatly reduce security
concerns on the Installation.
Now, therefore, the aforementioned parties agree to develop a preservation and
development plan for an interpretive area within the historic district in accordance with
Section 106 and 110 of the NHP A and shall be administered with the following
stipulations.
I. The U.S. Army shall ensure, as the lead agency, that the Virginia Department of
Historic Resources (VDHR) is consulted prior to all undertakings. All participating
entities will be furnished copies of all correspondence between the VDHR and the U.S.
Army.
II. All participating entities will meet quarterly to discuss funding avenues and develop
the historic interpretative area plan.
III. The Fort Story Garrison Commander will approve all undertakings prior to
implementation.
IV. Historic interpretation will be the collective responsibility of all parties herein. The
Installation is in the process of developing an Integrated Cultural Resources Management
Plan (ICRMP). This plan will identify and define all historic landscapes within the
Installation boundary and will serve as the foundation for historic interpretation.

deliverables, on your websites, in newsletters and journal articles, on signage at construction and
acquisition sites and during interviews by the media. Be certain that proper acknowledgement of Coastal

Mixed Use Development
"Mixed use" is a type of land development that suits the g9reat truism that `what's
old becomes new again.' Prior to the early part of the 20t Century, the
development of land in almost any urban area was `mixed,' with homes, shops,
and workplaces blended either within the same building or juxtaposed to each
other. The denseness of the development and the mixture of uses resulted in an
environment where walking was the primary mode of transportation for those
who lived, visited, and worked in these cities. In the early 20th Century, with the
introduction of new modes of transportation and new legal frameworks for
regulating land use and land development, the pattern of land use in cities
changed and mixed use became an infrequent form of development in all but the
largest cities in the United States. In its place came a pattern that we are familiar
with today, exemplified by the segregation of uses and a heavy dependence on
the automobile as the means of moving from one place to another.
Toward the end of the 20th Century, and particularly as we entered the 21st
Century, we came to the realization that our dependence on the segregated form
of land use as the primary method of development may not be the best method
for all circumstances. New forms of land use and development have evolved,
some of which have been stimulated by various schools of thought regarding
urban and regional planning including "Neo-Traditional Development," "New
Urbanism," and "Smart Growth." No matter what the name, each school of
thought on how we should use and develop our land k
utilizes the concept of mixing uses and at higher
densities. The use of mixed use development is MN @MP .:_
particularly advocated in situations where land 00
F kN
available for development is scarce (for whatever ; ; _.;
reason) and there is a desire to maintain growth !
within a pre-defined area rather than allowinggrowth ' �° -�
to continually spread outward beyond the existing " r°
area of development, which is a known outcome of a ,
the use-segregated, low-density pattern used during k':'
most of the 20th Century. t : b •:, �s ,
w lire
In sum, the idea at the heart of this document when it r.
comes to mixed use is the transformation of the ,i
pattern of development in certain areas of Virginia
Beach where advocated by the Comprehensive Plan
from a "suburban" one to an "urban" one. Many
people believe that the term `urban' refers only to The vision that many people have
high-rise construction or big buildings close together when they think of "urban."This is
as evidenced most often by such places as New York, not the type of `urban' referred to
London, or Paris. In its truest sense, "urban" most by these guidelines.
Page 1
----- 11.11111111.1111111111111111.1
accurately describes those parts of our built environment that are discernibly
different from their suburban and rural counterparts. It connotes denser
arrangements of buildings characterized by overlapping patterns of use and
activities, and clearly defined, humanely-scaled external spaces, where citizens
can conduct their business and meet and mingle freely with others.
These factors create a system of relationships that is larger and more
comprehensive than the design of individual buildings, and which requires
special consideration for best results. The organization of these various factors,
including building design, landscape, open space and transportation is referred to
as "urban design," and these guidelines provide clear examples of the practices
that are necessary for the creation of successful, memorable places within the
City of Virginia Beach.
Urban design is intended to bring order, clarity and a pleasing harmony to the
urban places within the city. Urban design creates the "character" of a place. This
character is primarily formed by the arrangement and details of the elements that
defines it —the walls of buildings that enclose a plaza, for example; or the
storefronts along the commercial street; or the dwellings that line a residential
avenue. These guidelines provide guidance on the appropriate urban design for
mixed-use environments in the City of Virginia Beach.
The latest Comprehensive Plan for the City of Virginia Beach notes that the city
has reached the point in its history where mixed-use development must play a
critical role in the future growth of the city in order to maintain its overall health:
In envisioning the redeveloped city of the future, it is apparent that in the
Strategic Growth Areas where high intensity uses critical to our future tax
and employment base must go, there frequently exist today lesser
intensity uses that do not fully utilize their locational advantage, and so a
transition must take place. Often these current uses were well located with
respect to the market forces at play when they were instituted, but since
then circumstances have changed. Eventually, market forces will cause
these uses to relocate to more appropriate sites, often at great profit to the
landowner, but this process is often more gradual than is compatible with
this plan or are of the type that fail to achieve true potential of a site. The
uses involved are often service-related and low intensity commercial uses
that are essential elements of a livable community, and so their retention
in the community is vital. If the strategic growth areas identified in the plan
are to serve their intended purpose, then a transition from less intense to
more intense land use must occur and the plan must identify suitable sites
and areas to which the owners and operators of these uses can willingly
and easily relocate. The identification of such available alternative sites
will speed the transition process (p. 52).
Page 2
To accomplish this transition from 'less intense to more intense land use' within
the Strategic Growth Areas identified by the Comprehensive Plan, the Plan
suggests several steps as part of an overall strategy, one of which notes that we
must
develop mixed use as a principal tool for redevelopment and as a
preferred land use pattern in the strategic growth areas, and develop
necessary zoning and other regulatory tools to encourage it, (p. 52).
This document is provided as part of the foundation of the implementation of this
recommendation. A component of a coordinated approach involving detailed
area plans, zoning and development ordinance revisions, and design guidance,
the content of this document will evolve over time as specific plans are
developed for each Strategic Growth Area where mixed use development is
recommended. The content of this document heavily borrows from one of the
City's first official guides for mixed-use development, the Laskin Road Gateway
Design Guidelines, which encourages such development within the Laskin Road
Gateway Overlay District between Beach Garden Park and Pacific Avenue on
Laskin Road. This document has been created to accompany the creation and
use of the B-4C Central Business Mixed Use District. It is hoped that the
document and its future amendment for other Strategic Growth Areas will give
property owners and developers direction in the creation of unique and
instrumental places that will transform the City of Virginia Beach as it enters its
next phase of growth. In particular, the document should be used as part of the
process of evaluating the appropriateness of a request for a mixed-use zoning
category as specified by the City Zoning Ordinance, such as the B-4C. The
guidance provided in the following pages is not overly detailed, as it is intended
to give an overall framework s t ��

k Site Design
Probably the most important aspect of mixed-use development is the way that
the project is integrated physically and functionally as to encourage pedestrian
activity and walking as the primary means of moving through and around the
project.
Design Goal: Provide interest at the street level to encourage walking and
to enhance the pedestrian experience.

pedestrian-oriented elements, such as:
o Transparent display windows
o Outdoor dining areas (cafés)
o Public art or other public amenities such as fountains, benches, etc.
u Blank walls or vacant lot appearance is not appropriate.
Locate on-site parking to minimize visibility from the sidewalk.
u Parking should not be located so that it interrupts the storefront continuity
along the sidewalk.
u Place on-site parking behind the buildings, either at-grade or within a
parking structure.
Page 4
J Parking should be accessed from the rear of parcels if possible. If not
possible, the entrance to parking from the street should be `hidden'
designing it as part of the rhythm of the storefronts but not in such a way
that it is a hazard for pedestrians. When necessary, such driveways
should be minimized in width and provide for good visibility of pedestrians
from vehicles using the driveway. A change in material for the sidewalk
should be utilized to indicate to or `warn' pedestrians where the access to
the parking is located.
The entrance to parking facilities should be located on a secondary street
and not on an arterial roadway.
Locate mechanical equipment and service areas out of public view.
Page 5
Building Mass and Design
Design Goal: New buildings and additions should be delineated both
vertically and horizontally to reflect a human scale.
The height of buildings should provide for a human scale to the overall
streetscape while respecting surrounding development in the area. In no case
should the height of a building exceed that specified by the City Zoning
Ordinance.
u The portion of buildings along the street should not exceed a maximum
height of five to six stories. Increased height beyond that should be
achieved on the by setting back the upper floors from the initial five or six
stories, thus reducing the impact of the overall mass.
Buildings should be divided into "modules"that provide visual interest and serve
to create a traditional "Main Street."
• Create modules of 25 to 50 foot wide as traditionally found in Main Street
environments.
u A clear visual division between upper and lower floors should be
incorporated through a change in materials, colors, and use of canopies
and awnings.

Facades of buildings that face the street should incorporate human-scale
detailing through the use of reveals, belt courses, cornices, expression of
structural or architectural bays, recessed windows or doors, material or material
module changes, color and/or texture differences, or strongly expressed
mullions.
Each building housing a principal nonresidential use should incorporate at least
two (2) of the following additional features on all building facades facing a
public street, public plaza, or public open space:
❑ Arcades;
❑ Arbors;
❑ Contrasting building materials or textures;
❑ Incorporation of street furniture at the ground floor;
❑ Incorporation of outdoor eating or seating areas at the ground floor;
❑ Variations in rooflines along a single block face;
❑ Transparent windows that allow views into and out of the building; black,
mirrored, or other opaque surfaces should never be used.

Building Entrances t,
Design Goal: Clearly identify the primary entrance to a building and orient
it to the street.
Orient the primary entrances to the sidewalk and the primary pedestrian ways.
• Primary entrances to ground floor spaces and upper levels should be
oriented to the sidewalk and primary pedestrian ways.
❑ If a courtyard is part of the overall design, an entrance may be located on
it as well.
Buildings located at the intersection of roadways should be designed with
angled entrances at the corner.

Architectural Features
Design Goal: Architectural features should be used to provide weather
protection and highlight building features and entries.
Buildings should be designed to incorporate awnings.
Storefront window openings should be designed to accommodate awnings
above the windows.
J The awning should fit the shape of the opening of the building.
J Awnings should be mounted to highlight moldings that may be found
above the storefront or to fit within a sign panel that may be part of the
façade design.
J While fabric (canvas or other high quality fabric) awnings are preferred,
fixed metal canopies are also acceptable. Vinyl awnings are inappropriate.
A fixed canopy may be used where enhanced weather protection is desired.
j Permanent structures may be used on building facades with harsh sun
exposure and where outdoor dining is planned.
J They must be incorporated into the overall design of the building and be
appropriate in mass and scale with the structure.
These features must be designed to not obstruct storefront visibility and
pedestrian access.

Materials and Colors 1
Design Goal: Building materials and colors should exhibit quality and help
establish a human scale while providing visual interest.
While some diversity in exterior building materials and color is a part of the
tradition of urban form, the range should be limited in order to promote a sense of
visual continuity for the area.
u Use the highest quality materials on exposed exterior surfaces, such as
brick, pre-cast, tile and stucco.
u Innovative materials are encouraged provided they appear similar in
quality, texture, finish and dimension to those used traditionally in a mixed-
use area.
u Stucco and synthetic stuccos should be detailed to create a composition
of smaller wall surfaces and establish a sense of human scale.
Simple material finishes are encouraged.
u Matte finishes are preferred. Polished stone or ceramic tile, for example
should be avoided or limited to accent elements.
u Reflective or mirror glass is discouraged.
u Building colors should evoke a sense of richness and liveliness to
complement and support the overall character benefiting a mixed-use
area.

Outdoor Spaces and Amenities �\4
Design Goal: Design outdoor spaces and amenities to enliven the sidewalk
level and provide for private open space for shoppers, employees, and
residents.
A variety of outdoor spaces may be considered:
o A courtyard at sidewalk level, set in line with the building front.
o An interior courtyard with a major entrance clearly visible from the street.
o Upper-level decks, balconies, and rooftop gardens are encouraged as
private open space. Such structures should be located so as to avoid
encroachment into the public right-of-way.
Courtyards are encouraged as places for outdoor commercial activities.
J No more than 25% of a new commercial storefront building should be set
back for a courtyard.
J Consider environmental conditions such as sun, shade and prevailing
winds when positioning courtyards and outdoor seating areas.
J Trees, trellises or similar shade elements to be designed into a courtyard
are encouraged.
Upper story decks, balconies or rooftop gardens should be incorporated for
residential uses.
u Balconies on the front façade should be located and designed to minimize
potential conflicts with pedestrian traffic on sidewalks below. Such
structures should also be located so as to avoid encroachment into the
public right-of-way.
u Balconies should be appropriately scaled5�a `.f '7
