Background An item within the 2014 P&Z Plan of Work includes a review of the existing non-residential architecture standards to evaluate if updates are needed to reflect current practices and allow more flexibility in design. This memo provides a summary of the existing standards and the current ordinance language is attached. The presentation at Workshop will include additional background on changes that have been approved or proposed since this section was adopted. Pictures of existing buildings will also be presented to represent the types of buildings and developments being constructed. Staff will seek direction from the Commission on how to proceed with further evaluation and formulating potential amendments. Architecture standards were initially implemented in 2003 with the adoption of the Unified Development Ordinance. In 2004, the requirements were expanded to their current scope to include building mass and design, building materials, building colors, increased landscaping and parking lot configuration standards for larger scale developments for applicable non-residential development projects. Summary of Section 12-7.10: Non-Residential Architectural Standards Applicability - The Non-Residential Architectural Standards (NRA) section applies to the development, redevelopment and fagade changes to all non-residential buildings with certain exceptions. Developments in the following zoning districts are exempt from these requirements: BPI Business Park Industrial, M-1 Light Industrial, M-2 Heavy Industrial, R&D Research & Development, NG-1 Core Northgate, NG-2 Transitional Northgate, NG-3 Residential Northgate, and BP Business Park is also exempt except for the buildings along the periphery of a BP district. The following uses are exempt from the requirements regardless of the zoning district they are located: Churches, Primary & Secondary Educational Facilities (schools), Municipal Industrial Facilities, and private utility buildings that are screened from public or private rights-of- way. Building Mass and Design — In order to provide visual interest, all building fagades must provide two different types of architectural elements for every 60-foot section of fagade. Fagades facing a right-of-way have a higher requirement by needing two different types of architectural elements for every 45 linear feet. Allowable architectural elements include canopies, awnings, overhangs over windows, wall plane projections or recessions, pilasters, columns, recessed entries, stoops, porches, arcades, balconies or boxed or bay windows. In SC Suburban Commercial, a different set of elements such as decorative shutters, covered front porches, dormers, chimneys, cross gables, etc are to be used so that developments are more compatible with adjacent residential areas. If different architecture elements are desired, an application may be submitted to the Design Review Board (DRB) for consideration of them. Buildings or building plots of 50,000 square feet or more must incorporate fagade articulation (wall plan projections or recessions) of a minimum of 4 feet in depth such that no more than 33 percent of a fagade facing a public right-of-way is on the same continuous geometric plane. In SC Suburban Commercial, fagade articulation is required for buildings over 8,000 square feet and all structures in SC are limited to a maximum of 15,000 gross square feet. Accessory buildings that are less than 25 feet by 25 feet are not required to have architectural elements. Additionally, flat roofs on buildings less than three stories are to have varied roof line so that no more than 66% is on the same elevation. In SC Suburban Commercial, flat roofs are prohibited and roof slope must be between 4:12 and 8:12. Building Materials —All fagades of a proposed building are subject to material percentage minimums and maximums. Building fagades that are visible from a public right-of-way shall have at least 10%: fired brick, natural stone, marble, granite, tile, or any concrete product designed to simulate any of the above materials (brick/stone/etc). Buildings in building plots: • of less than 5,000 square feet do not have a brick/stone/etc requirement; • of at least 20,000 gross square feet must incorporate at least 25% brick/stone/etc on fagades facing a public right-of-way; and • of at least 150,000 gross square feet must incorporate at least 50% brick/stone/etc on fagades facing a public right-of-way. The maximum material percentage on individual building fagades are: • Maximum of 80%: reflective glass for fagades facing a public right-of-way; • Maximum of 75%: stucco, EIFS, hardboard, high build textured paint on concrete; • Maximum of 30%: wood or cedar siding; • Maximum of 20%: stainless steel, chrome, standing seam metal, and premium grade architectural metal; and • Maximum of 10%: smooth face, tinted concrete block. Metal may be used on roofs and canopy/awnings with no limitation on percentage. Also, window and door areas are included in the material percentages. Building Colors —All building fagades are to use approved colors from the City's color palette, though up to 15% of fagade may use accent colors (those not on the color palette). The allowable accent colors area is limited to 10% per fagade for 50,000+ square-foot building plots and 5% per fagade for 150,000+ square-foot building plots. The color palette was expanded extensively in 2011 and an interpretation was made that shades of color between allowable colors was permitted. Pedestrian & Bike Facilities — Each building or building plot is to provide bike racks for at least 4 bicycles on site. Bike racks for at least 8 bicycles is required for developments larger than 50,000 square feet. Parking Lots — Parking lots that have more than 120 parking spaces are to meet one of the three parking concepts as described in the UDO. The parking concepts are intended to break up parking lot areas and minimize visual impact as well as provide more pedestrian opportunities by providing landscaping strips or larger islands. Variances/Appeals —The Design Review Board has the authority to hear and decide on variances/appeals regarding building materials and colors, screening methods, architectural relief elements, and parking lot concepts.
