Colored paving materials and concrete may be used as accent materials at entry locations (not including public right-of-way or required easement areas) on the property to visually define entryways. B. Building Mass, Form And Architectural Style. One critical component of the Main Street Concourse design is the consideration of architectural style, mass and form. Architectural style shall impart a distinct building image. Mass shall relate to the desired scale and form shall be used to lend interest to the overall effect of the mixed use development. 1. Building masses shall be simple in form and composed of strong geometric shapes including rectilinear forms with facade variations, round, columnar, stepped (terraced) or pyramidal shapes. Building mass forms may be composed of ornate historical building styles or a combination thereof. 19 11 C-27 2. General building form shall be indicative of the functions that take place within. Pedestrian spaces and entrances should be apparent and ceremonial. 3. Internal building structure shall be delineated with clear definition of floors and vertical supports. 4. Large flat unarticu1ated building faces shall be avoided. 5. Window fenestration must be carefully orchestrated to complement the basic masses, provide scale and modulation of building surfaces and to allow perferation of solid shapes. 6. The mass form and orientation of commercial buildings must be sensitive to adjacent residential areas and pedestrian linkages. 7. Building forms may be exaggerated to express a particular style. 8. Special architectural enhancement shall be included at the pedestrian level of all commercial and retail buildings by utilizing added facade articulation and detail variation. C. Materials. The use of quality materials and detailing on highly visible surfaces will add elegance and maximize the statement of the style of the development. The City Place development will embrace innovative uses of contemporary architectural materials. 1. Colored ceramic tiles, glass blocks, stucco, plaster, masonry, stone, and colored wood or high quality metallic trims are acceptable finish materials. 2. Textured and smooth concrete, decorative or textured concrete blocks, or steel and high quality metallic panels are appropriate building materials. 3.

Intent. Every sign in the City Place project will be part of a planned sign program which will be submitted for Planning Division review and approval in accordance with the criteria set forth in this Plan and SAMC. The purpose of this section is to set forth permitted sign types and provide minimum standards for signs within the City Place Specific Development Plan. Consequently, this document identifies and specifies those design criteria for the planned sign program which are different than those set forth in the Code. In considering the planned sign program, the provisions of the Plan shall control. The City Place project is envisioned as a superior quality urban-style mixed-use complex, and architecturally spectacular. Environmental graphic design will be innovative and attractive but never excessive. Tenant identification on the perimeter of the project (i.e. external signage) will be held to a practical minimum. However, it is critical that the internal signage, particularly the signage along the Concourse, be compatible with the kind of exciting dynamic environment which is intended to be created. B. Sign Message Categories. The project sign program shall address the following categories of information: · Project and major facilities identification at site entries . Tenant identification signage . Regulatory vehicular signage . Directional vehicular signage . Street identification . Informational pedestrian signage . Directional pedestrian signage .

Service signage · Parking level and area identification sign age · Visitor directional and informational signage · Building address signage · Building/site directories . Typical door identification signage · Restroom and telephone identification signage . Operation information signage 26 11 C-34 . Loading dock information . Loading dock numbers . Construction barricade C. Physical Sign Types. Physical classification of project signage will be by the following categories: 1. Freestanding signs. 2. Wall/canopy signs. 3. Projecting signs. 4. Marquee signs (Theater Only). 5. Under canopy/window/hanging signs. D. General Criteria. The following design guidelines generally address the design criteria for the sign program. 1. Color and typography of signs will be evaluated on the basis of aesthetics and legibility rather than conformance to strict criteria. 2. Intermittent lights, bare bulbs, neon, illusions of motion, or other mechanical movement are acceptable only within the interior of the project. Such signage could be used with respect to the theatre, or restaurants. Such signs shall not be visible from the perimeter public right-of-way or the residential development in the project. 3. Well designed pageantry systems consisting of flags and banners, festoons, flag canopies and related displays will be permitted on the interior of the City Place project, provided they are consistent with the overall design of the signage plan, and do not create a safety hazard and do not adversely affect adjacent land uses. 4. The sign program shall acknowledge approval of carefully worded on-site circulation directional signage. E. Criteria For Individual Sign Types -; will be determined by the approved sign program. Shall conform to size limitations as outlined in SAMC. 1. Freestanding Signs Freestanding signs shall conform to SAMC requirements. 27 11 C-35 2. Wall/Canopy Signs. a. All signs need not replicate a specified shape, design or materials. Diversity will be allowed, provided that the signs relate to each other well even though they are configured differently. 3. Projecting Signs. a. Within the interior portions of the project, such as along the Concourse, one projecting sign per pedestrian level tenant may be provided. b. The project may provide any number of such signs with mixed types so long as the style of the signs area aesthetically compatible.
