0. Architectural Standards. <br /> 1. It is not the intent of the City to restrict design freedom unduly when <br /> reviewing project architecture in connection with a site and building <br /> plan. However, it is in the best interest of the City to promote high <br /> standards of architectural design and compatibility with surrounding <br /> structures and neighborhoods. Architectural plans shall be prepared <br /> by an architect or other qualified persons acceptable to the City and <br /> shall show the following for all structures other than single family <br /> detached dwellings: <br /> a) elevations of all sides of the building; <br /> b) type and color of exterior building materials; <br /> c) a typical floor plan; <br /> d) dimensions of all structures; <br /> e) the location of trash and recycling containers and of heating, <br /> ventilation and air conditioning equipment. <br /> 2. Unadorned prestressed concrete panels,concrete block and unfinished <br /> metal shall not be permitted as exterior materials for residential <br /> principal and accessory buildings. This restriction shall apply to all <br /> principal structures and to all accessory buildings except those not <br /> visible from any exterior property line. The city may,at its discretion, <br /> allow architecturally enhanced block or concrete panels. <br /> 3. Accessory buildings shall be architecturally compatible with principal <br /> structures. <br /> 4. All rooftop or ground mounted mechanical equipment and exterior <br /> trash and recycling storage areas shall be enclosed with materials <br /> compatible with the principal structure. Low-profile, self contained <br /> mechanical units which blend in with the building architecture are <br /> exempt from the screening requirement. <br /> 13 <br />
