DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS <br /> <br />Architectural Character <br /> <br />1. Facades and Exterior Walls <br /> <br />The Elk River Crossing development will represent the eastern terminus of <br />the Main Street corridor which connects Highway 169 and the Central <br />Business District. As such, the exterior appearance of the buildings should <br />include elements of buildings found along the corridor and in the Central <br />Business District. <br /> <br />Facades should be articulated to reduce the massive scale and uniform <br />impersonal appearances of large retail buildings and provide visual interest. <br />Buildings over 100 feet in length should incorporate recesses, off-sets, <br />pilasters or angular forms so that no uninterrupted length exceeds 50 feet. <br />The wall projection or recess should be a depth of approximately 3% of the <br />length of the uninterrupted building length. Buildings should have <br />architectural features and patterns that provide visual interest at a <br />pedestrian scale. The features should be an integral part of the building <br />fabric, and not be applied trim, graphics or paint. Variations to roof lines and <br />cornice details should also be used to add interest to buildings. <br /> <br />Exterior building materials and colors comprise a significant part of the <br />visual impact of a building. Therefore, they should be aesthetically pleasing <br />and compatible with materials and colors used in the Central Business <br />District and along east Main Street. Facade colors should be subtle, neutral <br />or earth tone colors. The development shall use a consistent palate of <br />materials and colors throughout.
