a. It is not the intent of the city to restrict design freedom unduly when reviewing project architecture in connection with a site and building plan. However, it is in the best interest of the city to promote high standards of architectural design and compatibility with surrounding structures and neighborhoods. Architectural plans shall be prepared by an architect or other qualified persons acceptable to the city and shall show the following for all structures in the B-6 district: 1. Elevations of all sides of the building. 2. Type and color of exterior building materials. 3. A typical floor plan. 4. Dimensions of all structures. 5. The location of trash and recycling containers and of heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment. b. Unadorned prestressed concrete panels, concrete block and unfinished metal shall not be permitted as exterior materials for principal and accessory buildings. This restriction shall apply to all principal structures and to all accessory buildings. The city may, at its discretion, allow architecturally enhanced block or concrete panels. c. Accessory buildings shall be architecturally compatible with principal structures. Accessory structures for trash and trash handling equipment shall be constructed of the same building material as the principal structure and be readily served through swinging doors. d. All rooftop or ground-mounted mechanical equipment and exterior trash and recycling storage areas shall be fully enclosed or screened so as to not be visible with materials compatible with the principal structure. e. Underground utilities shall be provided for all new and substantially renovated structures (the term "substantially renovated" shall mean when the renovations exceed 30 percent of the prerenovation value of the structure).
