5.0 1 DESIGN GUIDELINES <br />• Design of exterior elevations may be unique in style, character, and architectural <br />elements. Proposed architectural elements should not be in stark contrast to those <br />of adjacent structures. <br />• Creative exterior design solutions are encouraged to constrain visibility of cars <br />within structured parking from the public realm. This may include open-air or <br />screening approaches, such as exterior -colored panels or supergraphics <br />attached to the surface of the structure. Large, permanent banners and <br />temporary wraps are prohibited. <br />■ The use of a trellis, green screen, mural, dynamic building texture, or other <br />buffering element is eRGeureige^'shall be used where blank walls occur on the <br />parking structure. <br />• All appurtenances (i.e., transformers, ventilation shafts, etc.) shall be screened <br />from public view. <br />■ Activities such as shops, offices, or other commercial space should be <br />incorporated along the ground level of the parking structure, where appropriate. <br />B. Interior RN V <br />■ Parking structures should utilize modern technology to increase ease of use and <br />wayfinding, including methods such as colored stall markers and signs displaying <br />the number of spaces available per floor. <br />• Parking structures and lots for commercial and hotel uses shall incorporate smart <br />parking technology, including wayfinding signage, indicators for spaces <br />available, and other means to make maximum use of parking areas. <br />• Stairwells should be designed to match the architectural style of the overall <br />structure or designed as architectural features. Creative methods of blending <br />stairwells, whether internal or external to the building, are encouraged provided <br />signage clearly indicates the location of stairwells. <br />■ Interior walls and ceilings should be painted alight color to improve illumination. <br />■ Interiors shall provide illumination. <br />• Internal pedestrian circulation should be designed to minimize conflict areas <br />between pedestrians and automobiles and provide open view corridors for <br />pedestrians. <br />C. Landscaping and Amenities RN V <br />■ Landscaping, including large dense trees, should be used to visually screen <br />parking structures when adjacent to roadways and pedestrian walkways where <br />landscaped areas exist to adequately accommodate the plant material. <br />■ Landscaping and amenity spaces may be placed on top of a parking structure <br />or integrated into the structure using creative methods provided they are <br />physically separated from parking areas for safety. <br />5-22 1 P a g e <br />Related Bristol Specific Plan D,r f Adopted4-6�Qctober <br />2024 <br />
