Achieve greater architectural variation and interest through
standards for the design of roofs, exterior walls and the use of exterior

Reduce the negative visual impact of features and site improvements

of buildings and structures and improvements to existing structures
when a proposed building expansion exceeds 25% of the existing floor
area measured on a cumulative basis starting from the date of the

necessitate improvements to existing buildings or site conditions
beyond those necessary to integrate the proposed improvement with
existing conditions in a manner consistent with these standards. The
following standards apply to commercial, industrial, institutional
and other commercial buildings located in business-zoned or -designated
areas. It is intended that these standards apply to all sides of the
building.

is composed of brick, decorative masonry, stone, precast panel, architectural
concrete, glass, stucco or wood framed with horizontal lap siding.
