percent for corner lots.
(S-24) Parking areas shall be located to the side and rear of the building. A secondary
pedestrian entrance may be provided in the back of the business to provide direct customer
access to the store from parking areas, or a walkway .shall be provided to improve circulation
between the parking lots and the street. Architectural embellishments, awnings, landscaping and
signs shall be used to mark the secondary entrance. The design of the rear of the building shall
be consistent with the front fagade.
The proposed building is oriented to Oak Avenue and complies with the lot layout requirements
and intention for urban form.
Building Form
(5-25) New buildings and their components shall be compatible in scale with each other (size of
windows and doors in relation to the fagade), the human body (building elements sized for
human use), and neighboring structures (predominant scale). To achieve the appropriate scale,
the height to width, length to width and solid to void ratios must be considered. The scale (height
to width ratio) of street facing facades shall be compatible with and maintain the proportions
established by the existing structures within the district.
(5-25 To maintain the predominant scale and proportion of the district, new buildings, additions
and alterations shall be designed so that elements of the building,fagade are aligned with the
. fagade elements of the neighboring structures (e.g., windows, doors, etc)
(5-25) Contemporary design for new construction is permitted when compatible with the size and
scale of the property, neighborhood and immediate environment.
21 P age
(S-25) New construction shall create a sense of layers using steps, brackets, chimneys,
vegetation, and other projecting elements to make the building look less massive.
(S-25) All new buildings shall have the main entrance oriented to the principal street and in full
view from the public right-of-way.
(S-25) The width of new or altered buildings shall be consistent with the predominant building
width in the surrounding neighborhood. Larger buildings shall be designed so their,facades are
divided into smaller elements that relate to those of the surrounding neighborhood.
(S-26-27) Commercial Building Form
• New buildings shall be designed with architectural_features and patterns that provide
visual interest from the perspective of the pedestrian, as well as vehicular traffic.
• New buildings placing and massing shall relate to nearby buildings and the urban
context.
• New buildings and additions shall include substantial variation in massing such as
changes in height and horizontal plane. Horizontal massing shall not exceed a
height/width ratio of one to three (1:3) without a substantial architectural element
that either projects up or away from the building, such as a tower bay, lattice, or
other architectural feature.
• Buildings in the commercial historic district shall not exceed four (4) stories.
Buildings at the corner of two (2) streets may have embellishments at the corner that
are proportionately higher.
• The height of storefront openings in new buildings shall be similar to the storefront
openings within the district.
• The scale and massing of the lower floors of new structures and their architectural
elements shall be similar to contributing structures in the historic district. Any new
structure that exceeds fifty (50) linear feet along any street frontage shall minimize
the facade's mass by adding projections and recesses to make the structure similar in
scale to contributing structures in the historic district.
• New buildings shall have a recognizable top consisting of, but not limited to, cornice
treatments, roof overhangs with brackets, steeped parapets, richly textured materials
andlo differently colored materials. Colored stripes are not acceptable as the only
treatment.
• New building walls .shall be enhanced by the use of vertical elements, articulation and
landscaping to break the monotony.
• The first floors of new buildings, including structured parking, shall be designed to
encourage pedestrian scale activity.

The building is the size of a traditional single business storefront, is appropriately scaled for the
setting, and features a modern interpretation of a historic storefront with bulkhead and storefront
windows. The projections and cornice mimic those on the approved hotel, and have been
simplified from the previous application, which is more appropriate for this smaller structure. A
fixed awning extends four feet from the building, is 8 feet wide with a 6 -inch face, defining the
Oak Avenue entrance.
Building Features and Exterior Wall Materials
(S-28) Building features within new construction shall be compatible with the color, material,
