CHAPTER 17 -GRAFFITI MITIGATION GUIDELINES <br />Chapter 17 <br />Graffiti Mitigation <br />Guidelines <br />^ Utilize design features to reduce <br />the opportunity for graffiti and <br />associated vandalism. <br />^ Incorporate graffiti mitigation <br />measures in the design of new <br />and rehabilitated development <br />projects. <br />17.1 INTRODUCTION <br />The Graffiti Mitigation Guidelines are <br />intended to assist site designers and <br />developers in implementing the City's <br />goals to prevent graffiti and reduce <br />visual blight. This Chapter provides <br />guidance in the development and <br />rehabilitation of all residential, <br />commercial and industrial sites. <br />Graffiti Mitigation Guidelines should <br />be incorporated into the design <br />phase of a project to ensure a quality <br />and graffiti-free development. <br />Figure 17-1: Increased landscaping provides <br />coverage along blank walls and surfaces <br />^ Include graffiti mitigation <br />measures, such as increased <br />landscaping and lighting that <br />complement the aesthetic <br />character of the site. <br />Figure 17-2: The planting of shrubs and use of <br />architectural design discourage graffiti <br />17.3 GRAFFITI MITIGATION THROUGH <br />ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN <br />The following building design and site <br />improvements should be considered <br />in order to minimize graffiti attracting <br />surfaces: <br />~ 7.Z GENERAL DESIGN OBJECTIVES <br />The objectives of these guidelines are <br />to encourage well designed <br />developments that: <br />^ Building Facades should be <br />articulated with architectural <br />elements and details. Vertical <br />and horizontal offsets should be <br />provided to minimize large <br />blank walls. <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA CITYWIDE DESIGN GUIDELINES <br />PAGE 17- 1 <br />ZOA 09-6 <br />75o"'r~'I' 3 <br />
