It is a place of mixed land uses including businesses, churches, and residential areas, all located adjacent to Texas A&MUniversity. It is a place with interesting architecture, combining traditional forms and materials in a variety of different styles. Northgate is bound by the City of Bryan to the North, College Avenue to the East, Wellborn Road to the West, and University Drive to the South. (See map of the District boundaries in Appendix A) However, the unique character of Northgate is threatened by new incompatible development. Since the growth surge of the 1960's, historical areas of Northgate have been overshadowed by strip commercial and vehicular-oriented developments that are typical of"suburban" areas. Misguided suburban growth and redevelopment could further diminish the unique character of the Northgate area. Over the past two decades, attempts to enhance Northgate have been largely piecemeal and lacking in financial and political support. Public support for Northgate has recently increased dramatically. The College Station City Council ranked Northgate among the top strategic issues over the past few years. In 1995, citizens voted in support of a Northgate Bond Proposition which earmarked funds to finance redevelopment in Northgate. In January of 1996, the City Council adopted the . �� Northgate Redevelopment Plan. These design guidelines seek to describe in detail and facilitate �xwimplementation of the design recommendations presented in the Plan. In order for the distinctive character of Northgate 9s, n 'Z k / Y', 144 ` to be preserved, development needs to follow more compact land use patterns that are compatible with its original character and give adequate 4,1e consideration to its surroundings. It is this vision of Northgate's future that is articulated by the City Council through the Northgate Redevelopment Plan and is encouraged by the design guidelines presented in this manual. Northgate in the mid-1940's Northgate Design Guidelines 1 HISTORY Northgate originated to provide commercial services at the northern gate of the A&M College. At the time, the College was isolated from Bryan and had no provisions for commercial and residential services. In 1912, A&M College directors set aside land on the northern side of campus so that businesses could be established to serve the ,"71 �, yycampus. A butcher shop, shoe repair, 3/a 11 � � � , � � ��� � . �i � tailor, barber, and photo gallery were some "t �fr 11`:: of the first services to be offered in the Northgate area. In the early 1920's the Boyett's Grocery Store and Post Office were relocated to the Northgate area. Northgate,1921 Between 1920 and 1927, this wooden strip center was the only commercial area within the vicinity of the campus. In 1928, A&M College ordered all commercial businesses to move off campus. This led to a number of businesses relocating in Northgate. In 1929, a fire destroyed many of the wooden structures including Youngblood's cleaners, Sosolik's studio, and Mrs. Parkhill's Cafe. On Sosolik's property, a new brick building was constructed which housed a pharmacy and cafe. In addition, the early 1930's saw the expansion of Northgate with the addition of Holik's, Northgate Barber Shop, Charlie's Grocery, and Zubik's Uniform Taylor Shop. In 1940, Judson Loupot opened his first store in a seven foot wide shop. In 1938, the City of College Station incorporated and leased space for the first City Hall on College Main. In 1947, as the city grew, a new City Hall was built on Church Avenue, now Cafe Eccell. The 1930's through the 1950's brought a large < rPknumber of homes into Northgate. The addition 1 # of housing to the area provided an increased customer base which allowed area businesses to thrive. Duddley's Draw,311 University Drive By the 1950's and 60's, Northgate saw the addition of a number of churches and bars into the Northgate area. Since the 1960's there has been a continual expansion of the commercial and residential areas, including more multi-family apartments and condominiums. Northgate Design Guidelines 2 In April of 1975, the Northgate Merchant's Association was formed. This organization worked to address problems of traffic, appearance, and publicity. They hosted street parties that were highly popular. Today, Northgate is still a thriving campus `� ` neighborhood. It includes a wide variety of „ housing types and a thriving commercial sector that includes groceries, fast food, and x��t �, specialty shops. z j However, the urban nature of the area has created difficult traffic and pedestrian safety _ y issues that need to be addressed. In addition, 33,: r� ,� � 4 the age of the buildings in the area has led to serious deterioration problems. Northgate, 1970's The Northgate Redevelopment Plan seeks to address many of the issues that are relevant in Northgate today. Through regulation and formalized design guidelines, the future Northgate can become a healthier and safer campus neighborhood. Northgate Design Guidelines 3 ARCHITECTURAL BACKGROUND Most of the historic fabric of Northgate consists of common local building forms of the 1940's and 1950's The Historic Resources Survey documents the historic homes, churches and businesses that can be found throughout the Northgate area. COMMERCIAL STYLE The commercial core of the Northgate area consists of One and Two-Part commercial blocks. The One-Part commercial block is a simple box with a decorated facade. The Two-Part commercial block is generally limited to structures of two to four stories. The single story is the lower zone, at street level. This lower level is generally occupied by retail stores, while the upper zone normally includes office or residential space. Another example of the architectural diversity of Northgate is the Campus Theater, which is the only example of Art Deco within the Northgate area. The theater was built in 1930. Today it serves as a dance hall. RESIDENTIAL STYLE The residential areas of Northgate are filled with a variety of housing styles. The majority are small and medium Queen Anne style homes. There are also a number of American Four-Square. These homes are relatively plain and square two-story structures with a one story front porch. built between 1910-1920. Simple, modest bungalows, built between 1910-1925, are also found throughout the Northgate residential area. Many of these homes once were located on the A&M College Campus, but were moved when the College decided it did not want to be in the business of providing housing for the faculty and staff of the school. yr, „)'�0.),�xr r � 4 � 1t �Pfi 1.J1 44,)••ir fb1W''4L s • {gyp(4t ,y�1 $' 12h � �"Ayl �A,d (.�3' ��K }, .. t rt11 S $ '1 j firEE `l1S Yf 7 5= • �f �i5. v� i 9. �. rr t k# i. k. {t ��iii ri orf . 1 K ...... ... �A,.>,f � .+.+.ba.+:<a 4.4 ..., =.1� . ..a,+.i.4G` ......

St. Mary's Catholic Church was built in 1926. In the 1950's, the church expanded and built a new student center and chapel. A&M Methodist church, first built in 1923 as a temporary structure, remained in place until the construction of an educational building and sanctuary in the late 1940's and early 1950's. The A&M Presbyterian Church was first an Army Chapel in Victoria, Texas. In 1948, the church was moved to Northgate. Ernest Langford was mayor of College Station ‘'T'� ���, `�` � � from 1942 through 1965. Langford, a Professor �� g ` of Architecture, first designed the A&M Church ' }`� ,'', ' of Christ, in the early 1930's.

GOALS The goals of this manual seek to improve the physical appearance of the Northgate area and to create a safe and healthy environment for residents and visitors. In addition these goals provide City Staff, Northgate Revitalization Board members, and the development community a guide emphasizing appropriate redevelopment practices. It is not the intent to freeze the Northgate District in time. The Northgate area has continually evolved, and should continue to do so as long as that change does not overshadow the character of the historic core. General design goals for the entire Northgate District: • To promote a sense of identity for the District. • To minimize negative impacts on adjacent properties from inappropriate development. • To encourage pedestrian activity. • To convey a sense of human scale. • To improve the aesthetic qualities of the district. Goals for the treatment of historic properties in Historic Northgate Subdistrict: • To preserve the integrity of each historical structure by preserving its character- Northgate Design Guidelines 6 defining features. Goals for design of new buildings and alteration of non-historic structures in the Historic Northgate Subdistrict: • To accommodate change, in a manner that is compatible with the historic character of Northgate, without imitating it. • To encourage new construction that is similar to that seen historically in overall mass and scale, materials, and treatment of openings. ke , r„. „„ II III 1VPk? 32114 5-4 qfP This building, built in 1950, was recently renovated. HOW TO USE THE GUIDELINES Property owners, real estate agents, tenants, and architects should use the guidelines when beginning projects in the Northgate District. This will help establish an appropriate direction for the design. The guidelines will be used in two ways. The City staff will use the guidelines when working with and advising property owners. The Northgate Revitalization Board will use the guidelines in the review process. This document will guide decisions, but not dictate them. Because each project has special circumstances that require consideration, the Northgate Revitalization Board will review each project on a case-by-case basis. Northgate Design Guidelines 7 SIGNS Neighborhood Commercial Districts depend heavily on effective sign design and location. Signs play an important role in the appearance of urban commercial areas. The location and design characteristics of signs strongly influence people's perceptions of the district and its individual businesses. First impressions have a lasting influence, making it essential that the Northgate area present an appealing image to potential customers, tenants and investors. Signs that are designed without regard for the surrounding architecture and placement, can detract from the district's overall appearance. Signs should be scaled more appropriately to a pedestrian environment and designed to accommodate shoppers strolling along sidewalks and motorists driving at slower speeds. Such a pace allows people to take in more of their surroundings at a glance. 1,.P ,,4,4:441,,,,P1 ii', ' '.1; ' ,„t-,,,,,,,.:,,,,,,,---. , ,, -, \ 6 '':.•'.*::' j tt r ffekt !f( /l 1 L::;':,-37-,,QZzti',:itA,T-vt;-,'' 1, 1 'j : I:Am:0: ,,, .,,,-, This chain restaurant, in downtown Ft.

The following types of signs are all encouraged: • Icon or graphic signs: These are a type of sign that illustrate, by their shape, the nature of the business within. They are the easiest signs to read and are therefore well-suited to vehicular as well as pedestrian traffic. • Window signs: These are pedestrian oriented. They allow for the majority of the display area to be open for pedestrian window shopping. These signs should not cover more than 33% of the window area. • Hanging signs: These are hung from sidewalk coverings or mounted perpendicular to the sidewalk. They are very effective for pedestrians. • Flush mounted signs: These are signboards or individual die-cut letters placed on the face of the buildings. Usually there is a recess or horizontal molded band on the building that was designed to accommodate the sign. • Perpendicular signs: These are hung from exterior façade of the building. This style of sign is appropriate for the Northgate area on a limited basis. No more than one perpendicular sign should be allowed every 35 feet. All perpendicular signs should be modest in size.

Providing the proper bicycle parking not only accommodates the bicyclist, but also can help to discourage improper bike parking which can cause problems such as blocking sidewalks or interfering with handrails. Therefore, the building's design should provide the necessary visual clues to tell the bicyclist where to park. Bike parking should be located in well lit convenient locations with adequate surveillance. • Consolidation of bicycle parking is encouraged. • Bicycle parking in the front of the building is encouraged. However, where this is not possible, the side or rear of the building may be used. • Parking should be located in visible and easily accessible locations. • If a building has access to a street that is designated as a bike lane or route on the Bikeway Master Plan, bicycle parking should be located along these streets. (see map Appendix B) • Placing bicycle parking near building entrances with adequate surveillance from building occupants and visitors is encouraged. Bicycle Racks should be compatible with the character of the street. • The bicycle rack below has been approved by the Northgate Revitilization Board and its use is strongly encouraged. • Muted colors are encouraged Acceptable colors include bronze, maroon, and dark green. • Other designs and colors may be considered by the Northgate Revitilization Board. :�::%:si;Y�r;%i::.%i:?$i:::�;i:::;i!::i:f!�ii:i'.'r,'':ii<},y,••Y.,,v:�:Y..,.\y,\.,n.1.. :Y:ii::Eist:;`.:v;iE:;>::;::;::::•.;•.;�:;::{5::..v?i�:Z%;�.5•,�.,::<3:��'tik...'�:c':S: 4iii};;'i.tii:j?:Ei;{rii?moi}yF ii§:}:'{Y<�i\;v•xF ..,{.::\\•:n+w::S.Y: 4YYC{F:•.`•A:{F:;+;�:::•,.:<:F:;•}}i•:$:.CC{?::{:n,.;.:i"•\4,:\�::i:?C}: ................ • z::c.:F:'•}:;•`.kit::;;;;:::::•>:x::........, •St'S:.Y .:..F.;:'.4ii:iii:�iiiiiiii.iii: ::% : Thisrack allows cyclists to attach their r biccl e on eita side of the rack and has been approved by the Northgate Revitilization Board.

Northgate Design Guidelines 12 STREET FURNITURE Street Furniture • All street furniture should use the same color as found in the surrounding block. • Street furniture should not inhibit pedestrian flow. Newspaper Racks Newspaper racks, when clustered at a corner, can impede pedestrian activity and obscure the storefronts behind them. Their visual impact should contribute to the streetscape. • Newspaper racks painted in a muted color are encouraged. • Acceptable colors include bronze, maroon, and dark green. • Other colors may be considered by the Northgate Revitalization Board. • Newspaper racks should be an !

Northgate Design Guidelines 19 ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER STYLES The architectural character of the Northgate District should remain historic (circa 1940— 1950) and future development should be sensitive to the elements. • Contemporary interpretations of traditional buildings, which are similar in scale and overall character to those seen historically, are strongly encouraged. • Infill should be contextually appropriate. MASS AND SCALE A band or division between the storefront and upper facades of buildings at similar heights or a predominance of canopies or awnings extending along several facades, or the alignment of windows and window sills are all excellent ways to provide buildings with horizontal rhythm. The following standards apply to the Historic Northgate subdistrict: • New construction should conform to the overall mass and scale of the existing streetscape. • • Additions to the tops of existing buildings should not adversely affect the composition of the facade, nor should the addition be out of scale with the building. • New facades should contain both vertical and horizontal 3-D features that relate to the pedestrian or human scale. Examples of such features are railings, cornices, window mullions, and recessed entries. • Existing structures within the Historic Northgate Sub-district range from 12 feet to 30 feet in width. • In the Historic Northgate Sub-district, most buildings are between 15 and 30 feet. • The use of canopies or awnings is strongly encouraged. The following standards apply to the commercial and residential subdistricts: • Areas near the perimeter of the subdistricts should feature smaller transitional building heights in order to be more compatible with adjacent Historic Northgate Subdistrict. • Buildings exceeding two stories are strongly discouraged. • Building should be similar in height and width to surrounding structures. • New buildings should include portions that are similar in height to surrounding buildings. Northgate Design Guidelines 20 • Maintaining a visual division between street level and upper floors is encouraged. • Large projects that occupy several lots are encouraged to vary building heights, including portions that are designed at a human scale.

COLOR The color of buildings, window trim and doors is a personal decision to be made by the building owner or merchant. The following procedures should be used in evaluating ' which colors will most suit the building. Use colors to create a coordinated color scheme for the building. • Consider the building color in the context of the entire block or area. The color of the building can affect the overall character of the street. Northgate Design Guidelines 21 • The amount of sunlight can change the hue of the paint color. Colors on south and west facades appear warmer than if placed on north or east facades. Reserve the use of bright colors for accents only. • The more intense hues of a color or the use of more than one vivid color are not encouraged. • White is a bright color that does not blend in readily with most downtown environments. Paint color should be used to tie together all building elements, including the cornice, upper facade,windows, storefront, and doors. • In general, the larger and simpler the building, the more subtle the color. Small buildings or those with elaborate detailing can often use a larger number and more intense colors. • Building trim colors should not dominate the building. • In most cases, no more than three complementary colors should be used. • Paint colors should relate to natural material colors found on the building, such as brick, stone, or tile. • Contrasting colors which accent architectural details and entrances are encouraged. BUILDING ELEMENTS Materials should appear similar to those used throughout the district. • Masonry materials are preferred, primarily stone and brick. • Other materials may be considered by the board, but they should appear similar in character to those used in the district. Roof forms should be similar to those found throughout the district. (See Appendix C) • Flat roofs should be concealed by a parapet. • Sloped roofs are acceptable. • Mansard roofs are discouraged. Window and door frames should be painted or finished with appropriate color. Bronze metal is acceptable. Artistic murals are recommended and encouraged. Porches, balconies and courtyards, where space allows, are encouraged. Northgate Design Guidelines 22 SITE DESIGN BUILDING ORIENTATION Buildings should retain orientation to the street. • Orient a new building parallel to its lot lines, in a manner similar to those found in the Historic Northgate Sub-district. • Orient the primary facade toward the street. At corner sites, a secondary facade should be used to face the cross street. • Where the rear of the building abuts a street, this side should maintain a facade and have rear access where possible. • Maintain the alley as an open space. • Entrances on multiple sides of a building are encouraged where there is public right of way or public pedestrian walkways. Zero lot lines are encouraged in the Historic and Commercial Subdistricts. • Maintaining the alignment of facades along the sidewalk edge is encouraged. • When considering courtyards, minimize the amount of frontage on the street. PARKING SCREENING Off-street parking should be screened from the public right of way to minimize its visual impacts. (See Appendix D) • Screen the edges of parking lots with a three foot high landscaping screen. • Locate parking in the rear of the building where possible. • Landscaping the interior of parking lots is encouraged. • Dumpsters shall be kept in the rear of the building and shall be screened with devices made of masonry or wood with surrounding landscaping. Where feasible, consolidation of dumpsters may be required by the NRB/PRC. SERVICE AREAS Minimize the visual impact of trash storage areas from public right of way and public pedestrian walkways. • Dumpsters, grease recycling containers and recycling receptacles should be screened with masonry or wood and with surrounding landscaping. Where feasible, Northgate Design Guidelines 23 consolidation of dumpsters may be required by the Northgate Revitalization Board and/or Project Review Committee. ® Where wood is used it should be coated with a water sealant. ® Service areas should be located away from major pedestrian routes. ® Consolidation of trash storage and service areas is encouraged. • In order to accommodate dumpster access, screens should be at least twelve feet in length, twelve feet in width, and eight feet in height. ® Where there is consolidation of two dumpster or service areas an additional ten feet in width, for a total of twenty two feet in width, should be provided. Minimize the visual impact of loading docks, transformers, air conditioning units, utility meters and other mechanical elements. • Loading docks should be screened or gated from public right of way and public pedestrian wallcways. ® Transformers, air conditioners and other mechanical elements should be screened when visible from public right of way or public pedestrian wallcways. nrr Yz nr df �*#� [ Y r a rf 1J► r1 oT r C J "fit^'"' i.1i• � � I 1117 I {I .' 111111111 irI: II.
