(A) Development within Non-Residential Centers
All proposed buildings within non-residential centers shall be designed to be consistent within the center in terms of architectural design, exterior building materials, colors, and arrangement of buildings and other features. A Statement of Architectural Compatibility (SAC) shall be required prior to the approval of the first site plan within the development; see Section 7.7.4.
(B) Development Outside of Non-Residential Centers
For all other non-residential development located outside of non-residential centers (e.g., subdivisions, buildings on "stand alone" parcels, modifications to existing developments, and infill development), the building design(s) shall be compatible within the subdivision or with adjacent buildings in close proximity to the proposed building. In such cases, a Statement of Architectural Compatibility is not required.
(C) Building Placement
Non-residential buildings that are placed close to public streets to provide a more urban appearance will be permitted, especially within designated mixed use centers as recommended in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Such developments must also follow the provisions in the Design Guidelines Manual, including, but not limited to: building orientation, arrangement, mass, elements, and materials.
(D) Review Considerations
The Town Council or the Planning Director may consider alternative colors and designs for buildings provided that they meet the intent of this section. The Town Council or the Director should consider such things as the intensity of the colors, the extent of the design difference and the spatial separation of each building. Plans or proposals that are not consistent with the Design Guidelines Manual shall require Town Council approval. The use of high intensity colors, metallic, or fluorescent pigments is prohibited.
