3.7.2 Limit building heights<br />
a) One story building heights are encouraged in this<br />
area. Structures taller than one story in height should<br />
have design elements that strongly emphasize the first<br />
floor. Elements might include:<br />
• Awnings<br />
• Planters<br />
• Projecting signs<br />
• Divided light windows<br />
• Small scale materials (e.g., brick, board and batten<br />
wood)<br />
b) Upper floors should be separated from the first<br />
floor with projecting molding or other architectural<br />
detail, and incorporate elements that will reduce their<br />
visual scale and bulk. Examples include smaller windows<br />
with substantial trim or awnings, small projecting<br />
balconies, landscaped planters.<br />
c) Any buildings taller than two stories should have<br />
floors above the second floor set back from the walls<br />
below.<br />
