ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STANDARDS
All buildings within the Santa Ana Auto Mall shall be designed in a 'high-tech'
industrial design. The Santa Ana Auto Mall's Architectural Design Standards shall
be used to determine the structures compliance with the 'high-tech' industrial motif.
The use of exposed wood, tile roofs and mansards, and literal traditional
architectural motifs shall not be permitted. In addition, the Auto Mall Dealers
Association shall review and approve the architectural design for all new buildings
and remodels.
A.
Service buildings, accessory structures and parking structures shall be
designed to incorporate, on at least a portion of the exterior building, the
same materials and colors as those used for the showroom.
B.
The public areas and service buildings must be compatible in style
and material selection.
1.
Horizontalitv:
The expression of horizontality in each building is of prime importance for the
unification of the Mall. To achieve this purpose, the use of continuous horizontal
elements shall be required.
a.
Twelve-inch high horizontal metal reveals (one and one-half
inches minimum depth) is encouraged to be used for banding
and cladding terminations.
b.
Continuous, light-emitting strip windows are encouraged to be
incorporated into the non-showroom, general office service
area. Vertically mullion less windows would enhance and
promote the high-tech imagery and are, therefore,
recommended.
c.
All cladding shall not emphasize the vertical except at
termination points (changes in direction or corners).
2.
Exposed Sub-Elements:
Well-detailed exposed structural steel and H.VAC:elements shall be used. This
includes the extensive use of painted trusses, spaceframes, metal deck ceilings,
track lighting and well-detailed ducting/registers.

3.
Glass:
Extensive use of tinted glass in showroom, office and light-requiring service
building areas should be used. Compatible opaque (spandrel), insulated glass is
suggested for areas requiring noncvision glazing for continuity of effect.
The glass to be used shall have a bluish tint and slight reflectivity in non-direct
auto viewing area. Vision glazing specifications are to be equivalent to P.P.G.
'Solarban 570-30 Sapphire Blue' series. No mirror-glass or highly reflective glass
may be used.
4.
Wall Claddina - Flat Metal Panels:
Smooth aluminum panels may be used in flat or curved cladding for the opaque
showroom and office exterior wall cladding. This also applies to service building
cladding termination (ends, fascias, soffits and corners). Quality and trueness of
material (e.g., no oil-canning permitted) and workmanship are of the utmost
importance.
Panels shall be solid aluminum, and shall be impervious to water, and non-
flammable. The panel edges shall be brake-formed at right angles to the frontal
plane and all corners are to be welded and ground smooth. It shall provide a
front access fastening system which means individual panels may be removed at
any time. The thermally dynamic fastening system shall insure maximum
weather integrity. The system shall also include an internal drainage system
which directs condensation to the outside of the building. The finish shall be an
anodized or Kynar Tri-X metallic finish.
5.
Materials:
a. Panels shall be fabricated from minimum .120 (3.04 mm) thick aluminum solid
plate of 3003-H134 or 5005-H32 AQ alloy, in accordance with architectural
documents and manufacturer's approved drawings including verified
dimensions.
b. Extruded aluminum support members shall be. a minimum .093" (2.36 mm)
thick 6063-T52 alloys; supplied pre-cut to size, including all necessary
stainless steel fasteners for concealed installation.
c. The metal cladding system including required stiffeners and sealants shall
meet the specified requirements for wind loading, air infiltration and water
penetration.
d. The anchorage system shall be designed so that the panels are secure, yet
"free floating", to accommodate expansion and contraction; and so that
individual panels may be installed or removed without disturbing adjacent

panels. Panel specifications are to be equivalent to 'Techwall' by Conspec
Systems.
6.
Wall Claddinq - Horizontal-ShaDed Profile Metal Panels:
Horizontal deep rib metal siding decking may be used for the major service
buildings exterior and may be used for public oriented building exterior cladding.
The siding must be of the highest quality, and seamless (no apparent
intermediate joints). If such siding is used for the service building, other building
materials must be incorporated into the design of the structure in accordance
with Section B.1 of these Standards.
The specifications for 'Steelite High Rib Panels' were used as a basis for the
following guidelines. The primary metals shall be galvanized steel which is a
quality, grade 'A' steel which meets the ASTM A446 specifications. A corrosion
resistant finish is achieved by a continuous hot-dip commercial galvanizing
process in accordance with ASTM A526 G90 (1.25 oz [275 g/m2]). This material
shall be the substrate for all panels. An alternative metal is galvalume which is
a steel sheet coated with all aluminum-zinc alloy applied by the continuous hot-
dip method. Galvalume provides good resistance to heat and corrosion.
The color coating for the panel shall be silicone polyester, which is a blend of
premium polyester resins and silicone. 'SP' provides a high resistance to ultra-
violet rays as a durable coating over G-90 (1.25 oz [275 g/m"]) galvanized steel.
'SP' shall meet the requirements of a long-term. exterior finish with excellent
weather-ability. 'SP' finish shall provide an optimum use of silicone together
with a premium quality polyester resin for long life. Alternately, the panel shall
be color coated in fluorofinish which is a premium fluorocarbon called
polyvinyledine fluoride, (KYNAR 500 70%). It is applied to G-90 (1.25 oz [275
g/m"]) galvanized steel. Exterior performance characteristics should include
color integrity, film flexibility and resistance to chalking. Other important
properties of finish shall be high resistance to ultra-violet radiation, and
resistance to weathering.
The panel profile that is encouraged to be used is deep profile rib 18-gauge
minimum run horizontally. Maximum permissible deflection is to be 1/120. Hat
shaped and "Z"-shaped subgirts should be placed at every structural support
and not more than 4'-0" (1.22 mm) on cènter between supports. Trueness of
material and quality of workmanship, with proper detailing of material
termination, shall be of the utmost importance.
7.
Plaster:
Smooth plaster (stucco) may be used but is not highly recommended because
of uncertainty in surface quality control. If plaster is used, the highest degree of

detailing, materials and workmanship will have to be observed. Here again,
metal horizontal banding must be incorporated.
Concrete Panels:
Tilt-up/pre-formed concrete panels may be used in perimeter wall and building
wall applications.
The form liner profile specifications and configuration that may be used must be
equal to those produced by Symons Corporation's Architectural Form Liners.
The five options are to be equal to:
a. 3/16" deep, short ripple rib 4'-10" (no reveal)
b. y." deep rib, 4' x 10' (reveal)
c. Extruded 1 y:," rib, 2" O.C., l' x up-to-30' (no reveal), run horizontally
d. Sandblast #2 medium, 4' x 10'
e. Sandblast #3 coarse, 4' x 10'
Continuous and horizontal metal reveals must be¡ incorporated to tie complex
together and to be used a construction joints.
9.
Concrete Block:
Concrete block masonry may be used for wall construction in the dealership
service areas. It is important to remember that the clean, smooth, horizontal,
industrialized character must be achieved. Contrasting the concrete block with
deep tool-raked, horizontal joints, horizontal. 'Spectra Glaze' or metal,
contrasting bands or reveals and structures, and glass is highly encouraged.
A very suitable alternative is the use of prefaced concrete masonry units with
specifications similar to 'Spectra Glaze II', by Burns and Russell Company.
These ceramic-faced masonry units are low cost, attractive, avoid the need for
finishing wall surfaces where required, and reduce operational/life cycle costs.
This glazed block may also be used in areas subject to public view.
10.
Rooftop Elements:
All elements on roofs must be attractive and rhythmically placed and/or
attractively screened from view. These elements will be very visible because of
the freeway adjacency. Corrugated metal screening is not permitted.

11.
Color:
The colors selected for the exterior of the building must serve to integrate all
elements of the dealership and enhance the aforementioned character goals.
The use of strong, deep colors, which may highlight rhythmic elements, is
encouraged. The colors found in each of the automakers' logo standards are a
desirable direction to be taken. Black and white colors may be used; earth
tones shall not be used for the buildings' walls and structural elements. This is
especially important if block masonry units are used. Color selections should
accentuate distinction and elegance.
