Other ground level uses shall have façade treatments appropriate to such uses. • All sides of a building shall be consistent with respect to style, colors, and details only to the extent that they establish continuity with the main street front façade. • On facades fronting on service or parking areas along secondary streets, windows and/or displays need not be provided at the ground floor level but, are strongly encouraged to merchandise the common space and further encourage window shopping. However, buildings should avoid long, monotonous, uninterrupted walls. Building wall offsets, including projections, recesses, niches, fenestrations, or changes of materials or color shall be used to add architectural variety and interest, and to relieve the visual impact on a blank wall. • Parapets and roof line offsets between facades may be provided in order to break down the scale of the block and create architectural interest and variety. • Architectural elements such as canopies, awnings, roof and floor overhangs, and colonnades shall be provided as appropriate to protect pedestrians, help unify parts of a building or block, provide human scale, or provide a backdrop for signage and graphics. • Storefront facades at covered and/or external passage conditions are strongly encouraged to provide windows, displays, secondary entrances or architectural treatments along those passages. The use of architecturally appropriate awnings, canopies and trellises to accentuate the treatments are encouraged. • Windows, displays, secondary entrances or architectural treatments at rear, service and or parking areas of applicable buildings or structures are encouraged. • Gentle alterations to architectural elements of a building’s façade such as cornices, trim and pediments shall be permitted to allow the acceptance of code compliant signage and lighting. Storefronts: Retailers located at the street level primarily use storefronts to attract, orient and advertise merchandise to customers: • Retail buildings shall provide street-level pedestrian oriented uses at the ground floor level. • Storefronts on façade treatments that span multiple tenants shall use architecturally compatible materials, colors, detail, awnings, signage and lighting fixtures. • Multi-colored and monochromatic patterned finishes that reflect a mercantile establishment’s brand standards, whether two or three dimensional, shall be permitted.

IV – Lighting and Signage Lighting: The placement and orientation of lighting can be a critical part of creating an inviting and safe downtown environment: • Exterior lighting shall be architecturally integrated with the building’s style, material, and color. • Fully recessed and/or concealed lighting in ceilings, canopies, cornices, eaves, parapets or roof overhangs may be of any permitted type provided the level of illumination does not exceed the limitations specified in Section 5 Illumination of Lighting Ordinance No. 693-C.
