THAT DIVISION 10 of Article IV of Chapter 118 (the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance) and the Comprehensive Plan of the City of North Richland Hills Code of Ordinances are hereby amended by amending such Division to read as follows: "DIVISION 10. TC TOWN CENTER DISTRICT 118 -461. Purpose. (a) The TC town center district is intended to establish development standards to promote a sustainable, high quality, mixed use development scenario that provides the opportunity for many uses typically associated with a city's town center to develop in an integrated manner. (b) The town center is comprised of the following subzones: the "neighborhood edge," the "neighborhood general," the "neighborhood center," and the "neighborhood core." These subzones provide for a gradient of development and use intensity. Page 11 (c) Development in the edge subzone is almost exclusively single- family detached houses. This subzone most closely resembles the single use development patterns of conventional suburban development (CSD). The general subzone is primarily developed as single - family. There is the opportunity, however, to provide for a limited amount of office use in a house. The center and core subzones allow for a true mix of uses, including residential and nonresidential uses in the same building. Each of the above zones has a different character. This is the result of the intensity and variety of permitted uses. All the components of each zone -- the buildings, the streets, and the public spaces -- are scaled for that zone. As a result, the town center neighborhood is an integrated living environment, instead of an assemblage of single -use areas. (d) The town center is much more complex than the CSD, which consists of simplified zoning concepts that segregate activities into districts. Since this is the case, the interrelationship between land uses in a town center drive the creation of atypical development standards when compared to those established with CSD. Sec. 118 -462. Permitted uses. Uses permitted within this TC district are provided in section 118 -632, town center table of permitted uses, as well as those that are further defined in section 118 -471, "7.

The following lot and area requirements, as shown in section 118 -471, "North Richland Hills Town Center Development Standards," and further defined in "3. Urban Subzones," "4. General Building Types," "5. Frontage Standards," and "6. Urban Standards" shall be required of all development located within the TC district. Sec. 118 -464. General conditions. The following general conditions shall be required of all development located within the TC district unless otherwise provided for in section 118 -471, "North Richland Hills Town Center Development Standards," or provided for in city approved, properly filed, conditions, covenants, and restrictions for property zoned to the TC district.

Sec. 118 - 469. Special land use regulations. Special land use regulations for the TC town center district must comply with those requirements established in this section, unless otherwise provided for in section 118 -471, "North Richland Hills Town Center Development Standards," section 118 -470, town center parking standards, or city approved, properly filed, conditions, covenants, and restrictions for property zoned to the TC district. Sec. 118 - 470. Parking standards. (a) Shared parking. The TC town center zoning district is intended to provide for a sustainable, high quality, mixed use development. The components of the development create an integrated living environment, instead of the assemblage of single -use areas that is typical of conventional suburban development (CSD). Since the town center is much more complex, the interrelationship between land uses drives the creation of atypical development standards. One such standard is the concept of shared parking. When compared to CSD, the parking demand generated for individual uses may be overstated if those same uses are developed in a mixed use development. This occurs for a number of reasons: (1) Different activity patterns of adjacent or nearby land uses result in variations of peak accumulation by time of day, day of week, or season of the year. (2) People often patronize two or more land uses in close proximity to each other in a single trip. (3) The density of development and other modes of transportation (walking, bicycles, etc.) reduce the reliance on the use of the automobile, particularly among residents. Some of the benefits resulting from shared parking include efficient parking; maximization of parking, which eliminates potential areas of nonused parking spaces, as well as the cost associated with those nonused spaces; and the allowance for the development of other nonparking functions such as open space or other people generating usage. Application of the shared parking concept is to be on a block by block basis. The required parking for a specified block shall be provided for on -site, on- street, and in specific instances (theater, recreation center, etc.) on an adjacent block or on adjacent property in accordance with a joint parking agreement between property owners. Double counting of parking spaces for different blocks is not allowed. To facilitate the monitoring of the shared parking concept, any development that wishes to use the shared parking concept shall have a mandatory property owners' association (POA). One of the functions of the POA shall be to create a town center parking authority (TCPA). As each block is developed, the TCPA will verify the parking requirements. When a building permit for the first building on a block is submitted to the city, the amount of on -site parking to be provided in conjunction with the building shall not be less than 50 percent of the total proposed on -site parking for the entire block. The TCPA will Page 19 determine the required number of parking spaces for the proposed development of the entire block using the city approved parking ratios for the town center district. A minimum of 50 percent of the total required on -site parking spaces must be constructed prior to a certificate of occupancy being issued for any use in the first building on the block. Once building permits have been submitted to the city that account more than 50 percent of the total development on the block, the concept of shared parking may be applied. The shared parking concept includes on- street and off - street parking spaces. When building permits have been submitted to the city for the proposed development on a block that exceeds 50 percent, the total number of required on -site parking spaces shall be provided for. The TCPA shall determine the number of required parking spaces, based on the city approved parking ratios for the town center district. Once a block is totally developed, the TCPA shall monitor all parking for the block. Any changes to building occupancy must be reviewed with the TCPA to confirm that the proposed building usage has an ample parking supply. Any application for building permit or certificate of occupancy to the city shall be stamped for parking compliance by the TCPA. This includes new development, as well as modifications or changes of existing building usage. (b) Shared parking study criteria. Uses may join in establishing a shared parking area using the city approved parking ratios and percentage of peak hour parking tables where it can be demonstrated before the city staff that parking for two or more specific uses occurs at alternating periods. Such shared parking areas shall be established in accordance with the following provisions: (1) It shall be demonstrated as a condition precedent to consideration of a shared parking area that such area will result in a reduction of at least ten percent of the aggregate required parking for such uses. (2) The applicant shall submit a parking analysis to the planning director for his approval, in accordance with the following provisions. Such analysis shall utilize the hourly accumulation of parked vehicles by percentage of peak hour weekday and weekend tables, which provides: a. An analysis of the anticipated hours of operation of such use or uses; b. A summary of peak parking demand for such uses; c. The total square footage of floor area of such uses; d. Employment and /or customer characteristics of such uses, whichever is applicable; and e. Miscellaneous pertinent information as may be applicable to the request or as may be requested by the city staff. (c) Hourly accumulation of parked vehicles by percentage of peak hour weekdays and weekends. See tables 1 and 2 at the end of this division. Page 20 (d) Town center parking authority (TCPA). The responsibilities of the TCPA shall be outlined in the covenants, codes, and restrictions for the mandatory property owners' association in the town center district. Those responsibilities shall include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) Establish parking authority requirements and staffing; (2) Review proposed developments and verify required parking capacities based on shared parking requirements. Stamp drawings of proposed development indicating, if applicable, compliance with parking requirements; (3) Enter into shared parking agreements with owners of adjacent property; (4) Maintain an updated plan of available parking on -site and off -site; (5) Verify parking requirements for changes in building usage and occupancy. Stamp drawings of proposed development changes, if applicable, for compliance with parking requirements; (6) Maintain a copy of parking maintenance manuals for all parking areas; (7) Conduct quarterly site tours to verify maintenance and need for repairs; direct requirement for repairs where required; (8) Maintain ongoing record of special events in the town center and develop parking allocation /management for special event parking; (9) Establish the need to construct new parking facilities; (10) Verify development and construction of new parking facilities; and (11) Develop policy for enforcement and violations of parking regulations. (e) Shared parking locational criteria included herein. (1) Residential (exclusive of single - family detached): On the same block as the use or on that portion of the street immediately adjacent to that block. (2) Institutional (library): On the same block as the use or on that portion of the street immediately adjacent to that block, or within 500 feet from a library or other institutional use. (3) Recreational (ice rink, cinema, or amphitheater): On the same block as the use or on that portion of the street immediately adjacent to that block, or within 500 feet of the use.

Town Center Development Standards, 2011 (1) TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT (TND). 1.000 INTENT: The TND is designed to foster development in the pattern of cores and neighborhoods within urbanized areas and villages within the countryside. 2.100 DESCRIPTION: The TND supports the following conventions: • A neighborhood pattern to be limited in size by the walking distance from its edges to its center. • A variety of housing, shops, workplaces and civic buildings located in close proximity. • Housing which serves a range of income and age groups. • Workplaces that provide for home occupation and business incubators as well as for conventional offices. • Thoroughfares that equitably serve the needs of the pedestrian, the bicycle and the automobile. • Public open spaces in the specific form of parks, squares and plazas to serve as places of recreation and community activity. • Sites reserved in locations that foster civic buildings as symbols of community. • Private buildings that clearly define the public spaces and mask the majority of the parking lots. • Architecture and landscaping which respond to the climate and character of the region. 2.200 JUSTIFICATION: The TND supports the following intentions: • To provide the elderly and the young with their independence by locating most daily activities within walking distance. • To minimize traffic congestion by reducing the number and length of necessary automobile trips. • To make public transit a viable alternative by organizing appropriate building concentrations. • To help citizens watch over their collective security by providing appropriate public spaces. Page 25 • To integrate a wide range of household types by providing a full range of housing types. • To support a sense of community by encouraging suitable civic buildings. 3.000 DEVELOPMENT PARAMETERS: 3.100 Parcel Location: The TND is a specialized zoning district which may be permitted land zoned residential, commercial or industrial. 3.200 Parcel Size: The minimum parcel for a Traditional Neighborhood Development TND shall be 80 acres. There shall be no maximum size limit. In the event that the owner of the property adjacent to the land zoned for TND development, irrespective of whether or not a street or other right -of -way separates the properties, wishes to develop in a similar manner, there is no minimum acreage requirement. Any tract that is proposed to be developed as a TND shall be further subdivided into neighborhoods. 3.300 Neighborhood Size: The minimum size of each neighborhood shall be 40 acres and the maximum shall be 200 acres. Larger parcels shall be developed as multiple neighborhoods, each subject to the set of TND provisions. Each neighborhood shall be further divided into the following subzones: Edge, General, Center and Core. 4.000 MASTER PLAN AND ZONING: 4.100 Master Plan: The city master plan may show areas where TNDs are encouraged. See (2) Regional Zones 4.110 Zoning: The city may create a specialized zoning district for TND's which will include detailed descriptions of standards for: Regional zones, urban subzones, general building types, frontage standards, urban standards, use standards, open space standards, thoroughfare standards, parking standards, and architectural standards. 4.200 Regulating Plan: The owner's zoning submittal shall include a regulating plan showing center and general subzones and where appropriate edge and core subzones. These subzones create a range, from urban to rural by specifying a coordinated set of requirements for private buildings, public open spaces, and thoroughfares. See (1) Regulating Plan and (3) Urban Subzones 4.21 Shared Parking Standards: The owner's zoning submittal may include shared parking areas for uses in center and core subzones. Any shared parking area shall only be so designated upon approval of the city council as part of the zoning change. Such shared parking standards shall be identified on the regulating plan and shall be monitored and maintained by a mandatory property owners association. These regulations allow compact pedestrian friendly blocks and produce a finer grain of development. Page 26 4.310 Private Buildings: The requirements refer to type, use and frontage according to subzone. Public buildings are not coded in this manner. Their specifications will be subject to approval by the town center architect. See (4) General Building Types, (6) Urban standards, (7) Use Standards and (5) Frontage Standards 4.320 Public Spaces: The requirements specify parks, greens, squares and plazas. See (8) Open Space Standards 4.330 Thoroughfares: The requirements specify velocity and streetscape to create boulevards, avenues, streets and roads with corresponding rear alleys and lanes. The size of the thoroughfares is determined by adjacent land uses, desired traffic movement, and design speed. See (9), Thoroughfare Standards 4.340 Architecture: See (12) Architecture Standards (2) REGIONAL ZONES consist of: C CORRIDOR N NEIGHBORHOOD D DISTRICT • Corridor: open space • Neighborhood: compact urbanized areas providing a • District: urbanized connectors and linear balanced range of human needs. areas specialized transportation rights of The neighborhood includes a transportation corridor. around a predominant way. balanced set of activities: The optimal size of a activity.

There are four general categories of building types: edge yard, side yard, rear yard, and court yard. Types are most easily defined by their various relationships to their lots, expressed as the residual yard. These types are able to accommodate all common residential and commercial uses. The specialized category is expected to accommodate exceptional types.

An illustrated matrix referenced by the Urban Standards that describes the range of frontages available for residential and commercial construction, and assigns those frontages to the different sectors of the regulating plan. Streetscape and Frontage: The combination of the private frontage and the public streetscape which defines much of the physical character of the public realm. The combination constitutes the layer between the building and the vehicular lanes. Streetscape frontages range in character from urban to rural as a function of their setback and of the composition of their elements. Public Streetscape: The publicly -held layer between the lot line and the edge of the vehicular lanes. The variables of streetscape are the type and dimension of curbs, walks, planters, street trees, and streetlights. Private Frontage: The privately -held layer between the facade of a building and the lot line. The variables of private frontage are the dimensional depth of the front yard and the combination of architectural elements such as fences, stops, porches, and colonnades. Correlation: The codes that govern the frontages and streetscapes of traditional neighborhoods are based on the urbanism inherent in the great cities, towns, and villages of the world. These specified frontages and streetscapes define the public realm and expand the available options beyond the limited number found in conventionally - planned subdivisions. Note: Frontages are independent of building type. For example, a row house type may have as its frontage a stoop, a door yard, or a porch. Non Town Center street frontages: Extended building setbacks up to a maximum of 100 feet may be approved by DRC with the inclusion of major entryway features and a minimum of a 15 foot landscape buffer in front of buildings directly adjacent to non Town Center arterial street frontages. - • Arcade Frontage: The building overlaps the sidewalk above while -the ground story remains set back at the lot line. This type is indicated for retail use, but only when the sidewalk is fully absorbed — within the arcade so that a pedestrian cannot bypass it. An easement ri,77, /`/ for private use of the right -of -way shall be required. In addition, // provisions for indemnifying and holding the city harmless from any and all costs, expenses, suits, demands, liabilities or damages, / f - including attorney's fees and costs of suit from such an — encroachment shall be required. To be useful, the arcade should be —no less than 10 feet wide. The arcade and its supports shall be a —minimum of 4 feet from the back of the curb. - • Shop Frontage: The facade is aligned close to the frontage line - with the entrance at sidewalk grade. This type is conventional for _retail frontage. It is commonly equipped with a cantilevered shed __roof, an awning or an attached colonnade. The absence of a raised %' //� _ground story makes residential not a preferred use on the ground % 2/ floor, although this use is appropriate above. An encroaching stoop " shall always maintain a minimum of 6 feet passage clear on a sidewalk. An easement for private use of the right -of -way shall be / / rf` /1J/ — required. In addition, provisions for indemnifying and holding the city harmless from any and all costs, expenses, suits, demands, Page 37 liabilities or damages, including attorney's fees and costs of suit from such an encroachment shall be required. • Stoop Frontage: The facade is aligned close to the frontage line with the ground story elevated from the sidewalk securing privacy for the windows. This type is suitable for ground floor residential f/ // uses at short setbacks with row houses and apartment buildings. An 7 easement for private use of the public right -of -way shall be required to accommodate the encroaching stoop. In addition, provisions for 7 �, 1 � indemnifying and holding the city harmless from any and all costs, expenses, suits, demands, liabilities or damages, including attorney's / 7 - , ,,,,,, fees and costs of suit from such an encroachment shall be required. This type may be interspersed with the shop front. An encroaching stoop shall always maintain a minimum of 6 feet passage clear on a sidewalk. • Forecourt Frontage: The facade is aligned close to the frontage line and a portion of it is set back. The forecourt thus created is suitable for gardens, vehicular drop -offs, and utility off - loading. This 9/1,i, / ,,-;� type should be used sparingly and in conjunction with the two frontage types above, as a continuous excessive setback is boring and ' undesirable for pedestrians. Trees within the forecourts should be "4 placed to have their canopies overhanging the sidewalks. • Dooryard Frontage: The facade is set back from the frontage line with an elevated garden, terrace, or a sunken light court, in between. ,� . , This type can effectively buffer residential quarters from the 7 ) 1 sidewalk, while removing the private yard from public encroachment. ` t ✓ The terrace is suitable for restaurants and cafes as the eye level of the 1 sitter is level with that of the passerby standing. `` • Porch and Fence Frontage: The facade is setback from the frontage line with a protecting porch appended. The porch should be r,,,„ r ,., i within a conversational distance of the sidewalk while a fence at the ;r te frontage line maintains the demarcation of the yard. To be useful, the { _ porch should be no less than 8 feet wide. There is a great variety of ✓ � ,, - porches. „...„-2, Z a • Common Lawn Frontage: The facade is set back substantially a from the frontage line. The front yard thus created should remain 1 U unfenced and be visually continuous with adjacent yards. The ideal is if' ;' l'`� ,, �`1 vto simulate buildings sitting in a common rural landscape. A front f ;. 4 ,, } ., . 1, -porch is not required, as social interaction from the enfronting % r� } 1 thoroughfare is unlikely at such a distance. 6. r/ ” 6. URBAN STANDARDS. The urban regulations are a matrix of drawings and text regulating those aspects of the private building types which form the public realm. It differs from conventional zoning codes in that, rather than being generally proscriptive, it is specifically prescriptive. For example, all buildings must place a specified percentage of their street facades on a common frontage line, and parking is regulated to certain areas to avoid interruptions in the street frontage. The urban regulations may encourage or require the provision of certain building elements which enhance the sense of community such as stoops, porches, garden walls, and outbuildings. Lot: lot width and depth shall be according to the designated dimensions. Lot coverage by buildings shall not exceed the designated ratio. Page 38 Setback: buildings shall be set upon lots according to the designated dimensions relative to the boundary lines. Arcades, and /or unscreened porches, stoops, bay windows, and balconies may encroach up to 10 feet into front setbacks and 5 feet into side setbacks along a street. Arcades, stoops and balconies may encroach into R.O.W. as illustrated on the frontage standards. Frontage: buildings shall be provided with one or several of the frontages diagrammed in Frontage Standards for each zone. The front setback shall be measured to the principal facade. Facade: elements of facades shall be built out to the required percentage of the lot frontage. Facade articulation shall not exceed the designated number of exterior corners. Height: buildings shall not exceed the maximum number of stories and the designated dimensions measured from the enfronting sidewalk. Parking: the parking areas shall conform to the criteria established in Exhibit C, "Town Center Parking Standards." The parking count for commercial (office and retail) buildings may be adjusted according to the city approved shared parking regulations. Required parking for single - family detached types shall be on site. This shall also apply to any nonresidential use that is being conducted on a lot where a single - family use is the principal use. Other building types may count on- street parking or central parking areas toward parking requirements. Uses: buildings within each zone shall accommodate uses as described within the use standards and as identified in the Town Center Table of Permitted Uses. Frontage Wall: a wall parallel to the frontage line, coplanar with the building facade used to connect the void between buildings, maximum height is 4.0 feet. Frontage Fence: a fence placed directly on the frontage line; maximum height is 4.0 feet. Outbuilding: a small building associated with a principal building by ownership and shared lot. An outbuilding may be used as a home office, a garage or an accessory dwelling to be rented but not sold separately from the principal building. An outbuilding shall be not exceed 550 feet in enclosed area in addition to the garage area. Syn. Accessory building, ancillary building, backyard cottage, garage apartment, granny flat.

The use standards are a matrix of text referenced by the urban standards that designates the general category of uses permitted in each of the zoning categories. The uses include residential, lodging, office, retail, and manufacturing, each to various degrees, with emphasis on allowing flexibility wherever possible. Uses are fully identified in the Town Center Table of permitted uses. Parking requirements are correlated to the various combinations of use, and are cumulative according to zone. Parking requirements are contained in the approved parking regulations. 4— LESS URBAN 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 MORE URBAN NE EDGE ZONE NG GENERAL NC CENTER CV CIVIC D DISTRICT ZONE AND CORE Definitions ZONES TC Restricted Use Limited Use Open Use Public Use Prohibited Use Residential: Residential: Residential: The Residential: Organizations Drive - through Premises The number of number of The number of chartered as commercial available for dwellings per lot dwellings per lot dwellings per not for - profit where patrons long -term is restricted to is restricted to lot is limited by limited to the remain in human one within the one within the the requirement following: automobiles, habitation by principal principal building of parking except service Page 41 < - LESS URBAN i i i i 1 1 1 I 1 1 iliiiiiiiiili 1 1 1 1 1 1 MORE URBAN --> NE EDGE ZONE NG GENERAL NC CENTER CV CIVIC D DISTRICT ZONE AND CORE Definitions ZONES TC Restricted Use Limited Use Open Use Public Use Prohibited Use means of building and one and one within an spaces for each Religion, Arts, stations, book ownership and within an ancillary dwelling, height Culture, and video rental, but ancillary building.

Open space areas remaining free of building which, together with a well- designed system of thoroughfares, provides the public realm at all scales of urbanism, from the region to the block. Open space should be specialized in function and appropriate in location. Open space within a traditional neighborhood ranges from watersheds to roof gardens. The types of open space are defined by location within the neighborhood zone, size, landscaping, enfronting condition (buildings at the edge), and equipment. The majority of open space within a traditional neighborhood is public, rather than private, and is located within greenways, parks, squares or playgrounds, rather than individual back yards. Open space, to be truly public, should be enfronted by building facades and circumscribed by thoroughfares. Open space provides community gathering places and enhances the value of the neighborhood for all residents, as well as for individual landowners. Open spaces, to be fully used, should straddle pedestrian corridors or be adjacent to meaningful destinations. Care should also be taken that open spaces have visual supervision from fronting buildings. Required Public Open Space: All new development within the Town Center District shall provide a minimum of 5% of the gross area of the site as described on a concept plan as usable civic or open spaces. Required public open spaces may include pocket parks, children's play Page 44 areas, greens, squares, promenades or linear greens. Open Spaces should be designed to be prominently featured and add value to the neighborhood. Required public open spaces can be publicly or privately maintained but must provide general public access and pedestrian connectivity to be counted as a required open space. Shaded pedestrian corridors such as promenade's are encouraged to link neighborhoods to civic and core areas and provide linkage between major destinations and neighborhoods. Required yards and retention/detention areas are not considered as public open spaces. Courtyards, porches, patios and balconies are considered private open spaces. Court: a private exterior space partially surrounded by a building and opening to a thoroughfare. It is often used as a vehicular entrance or drop -off, and its landscape may be paved Green: an open space of limited extent available for unstructured recreation, circumscribed by building frontages, its landscape consisting of grassy areas and trees, naturalistically disposed, and requiring only limited maintenance. Patio: a private area entirely surrounded by a single building invisible from the public thoroughfare, and valuable for isolating incompatible uses from neighboring buildings. Playground: a small open area specifically designed and equipped for the play of children. A playground is usually fenced and may include an open shelter. Playgrounds should be interspersed within residential areas, a short walking distance from dwellings. Plaza: A primarily hardscaped civic /open space with formal landscaping, available for civic purposes and commercial activities. A plaza shall be spatially defined by buildings. Promenade: A promenade is a linear form of open space with a broad 8' sidewalk and trees on both sides. It may be incorporated into the Public right of way. Benches shall be provided at least once for each 100 linear feet of promenade. Square: a public space, seldom larger than a block, at the intersection of important streets, set aside for civic purposes and circumscribed by building frontages. Its landscape consists of paved walks, lawns, trees, and civic buildings, all formally disposed and requiring substantial maintenance. (9) THOROUGHFARE TYPES. All pavement widths are measured from "face of curb" to "face of curb ". At final site plan approval the City shall designate no parking areas with required improved bump -outs or chokers to establish fire fighting staging areas as needed. Final tree species approved by DRC with final site plan approval. Page 45 �� 0 a ti cn � � 00 ° u.

Diagonal Parking: a pattern of parking where the vehicle is stored at an angle to the curb line. Diagonal parking creates a less positive sidewalk experience, but it permits the easiest maneuver and provides a higher parking density. Head - In Parking: a pattern ofparking where the vehicle is stored perpendicular to the curb line. Head -in parking requires the widest street section and a dangerous maneuver backing out. This pattern provides the highest parking density. Deck Parking: a specialized building type dedicated to parking in quantity by vertical stacking. Deck parking is usually appropriate only in Core Zones. This building type being destructive to pedestrian quality, should be assigned to the B -grid, masked by liner buildings, or provided with a habitable frontage at the ground level. Page 51 Buildingside Parking: the requirement that parking be adjacent to the destination of the trip. This rule of thumb commonly holds true when the pedestrian experience is unpleasant, as it usually is in CSD. Within a TND there is seldom a need for building side parking as the pedestrian experience is designed to be positive. To walk some distance (even several blocks) intentionally is designed to be acceptable and even pleasurable. Teaser Parking: a small amount of on- street parking which is highly visible, usually at the front of a building, signaling the location of a more substantial parking area hidden behind the building. Interim Enclosed Parking: interim enclosed parking may be allowed on the first floor of vacant commercial space within the commercial core area behind a store front tinted window or facade not clearly visible from the street front and with entry from the rear of the building. (11) SITE DESIGN CRITERIA: Public Land (Areas labeled A and B in the site section figure) The following Design Criteria shall be used to establish minimum standards of quality for development within the Town Center District. Single family detached and attached units are exempted from Site Design Criteria requirements. These standards do not constitute submittal requirements for the Concept plan, but may be verified throughout the submittal process that includes construction documents and Site plan submittals.

BUILDING DESIGN CRITERIA: Commercial and Mixed - use Buildings The following design standards and guidelines shall provide property owners, developers, city staff, and decision makers adequate design guidance for new and existing commercial and mixed use buildings. The image below is an example of a building facade to indicate the meaning of the terms used in the context of these guidelines. a ill " `�`° . ,, -upper t'a pct . i ' i --- -5vtin 11.4„iiti E r , Y Building Facades: Facades are the portion of the building subject to public view or forming a wall or boundary to an open space or public right of way. The primary surface of the wall is the plane from which recesses and projections are measured. The quality of the facades determines the quality and character of the adjacent outdoor space. Since the public ROW requires a higher quality facade than the parking lot, the facade regulations are divided into Type `A' (better quality) and Type `B' (lesser quality). Type A facades face public R.O.W. or any structures adjacent to non Town Center zoned properties. Type B facades face parking lots and alley areas. Build -to Line: Any building located on a lot with frontage on the public ROW not including alleys, must place the primary surface of the front wall of the building on the front property line for at least 80% of the length of the frontage. The front property line is the Required Build -to line. Habitable courtyards are encouraged and do not count against the 20% maximum setback frontage. Proportions: The proportions of walls, windows, and portions of walls shall be predominately vertical. Areas that are predominately horizontal shall be subdivided by pilasters, mullions, columns, trim work, or other architectural elements to achieve a balanced or vertical appearance. Page 55 Vertical stripes, however, are undesirable. Generally, windows shall be oriented vertically, and bay windows shall have external bottom supports. Towers: Towers afford a gracious and civic method of providing landmarks and consequently should be used sparingly. Locations for towers and ultimate tower height are subject to the approval of the DRC. Towers may project from the front wall primary surface a maximum of 4 feet. Pilasters and Columns: Pilasters and columns are an expression of the actual or imaginary structural system on the exterior of the building. These elements divide the horizontal facade into smaller, more vertical panels. Pilasters should be placed no farther apart than they are tall and they should extend to the eave or above the parapet. They may project from the primary surface of the front wall into the public ROW a maximum of 16 inches. Entry Conditions: The pedestrian entry is required to be placed on the public ROW facade and requires at least one pedestrian entry into the building for each 75 feet of frontage on the property line. Civic buildings may have fewer entries. These entries must be located and designed in a ceremonial manner. Maximum Facade Length: One story buildings may be 75 feet long with a single building facade design; two or more stories are unlimited. Commercial one -story buildings of 20,000 SF or more and facing Boulevard 26, are exempt from this requirement.

Storefront: The Storefront is the retail or service presentation to the sidewalk and to the street. A storefront with ample glass and visibility into the space behind contributes to the entertaining character and provides things for pedestrians to see as they walk. Full floor -to- ceiling glass is not desirable since it detracts from the building facade. Storefront regulations do not apply to `B' Facades. Total Glass Area: Between grade and the heads of 1st floor windows on the `A' Facades, the total glass area including window frames, must be a minimum of 50% of the area, and a maximum of 85% of the area. Bulkhead: This is a section of wall under the display window elevating the glass above the sidewalk. Permitted materials include all materials in the materials section of the Guidelines except glass.

Entry Doors, Canopy: If an awning or canopy is placed over the entry doors, a canopy may extend into the Public ROW and may be supported on columns; however, the columns may not interfere with the ADA accessible route of the sidewalk. Sign Band: The Sign Band is designed to display the identity ofthe business within and express in graphic form the character of the business. Location: The top of the head of the display window is the bottom of the sign band and the bottom of the second floor window sills or the bottom of the cornice is the top of the sign band. The band ends horizontally either at a pilaster, a tower, or an adjacent facade. Maximum Height: The maximum height that is uninterrupted by a change in plane, change in material or a change in color, is 5 feet. Maximum Length: The maximum length that is uninterrupted by a change in plane, change in color, or a change in material is 50 feet on a one story building, unlimited on two or more stories. Upper Facade: The regulation ofthe facade design for the building above the first floor allows for wide latitude to encourage dignified, beautiful, creative, and gracious design. Page 57 Windows: Total window area on the street facade may range from 20% of wall surface area to 70% of wall surface area as measured from the head of the first floor windows to the bottom of the eave or cornice across the length of the `A' Facade. Generally, windows should align with windows above or below and left to right creating a regular pattern within each facade design, although interrupting the regular pattern to improve the design is encouraged. Windows, Sills: Recommended, masonry or metal or wood, sloped to drain. Windows, Jambs: Trim or panning recommended. Jamb must be recessed from the primary wall plane a minimum of 3 inches unless trim or panning is used. Windows, Heads: In unit masonry construction, a visible masonry header is required.
