5B.3 BUILDING DESIGN<br />
5.B.3.1<br />
Dealership designs should recognize the<br />
unique qualities <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Gatos</strong> character<br />
a) The design <strong>of</strong> rear service areas should be integrated<br />
visually with front showroom areas. Techniques<br />
could include:<br />
• Using the same materials<br />
• Using similar building forms<br />
• Linking the two areas with common elements such<br />
as projecting canopies and trim<br />
• Using the same or analogous colors<br />
b) Landscaping should be integrated into building<br />
and site designs as much as possible. Examples include:<br />
• Landscaped lattices or trellises applied to blank<br />
walls<br />
• Using service doors with a design related to window<br />
treatments for showroom areas<br />
• Trellises added along property edges or linking<br />
parking areas with showrooms<br />
Example <strong>of</strong> dealership designed to the unique<br />
character <strong>of</strong> Sonoma, California<br />
Landscaped trellis used to provide visual<br />
interest and pedestrian scale to auto<br />
dealership<br />
Examples <strong>of</strong> the visual integration <strong>of</strong><br />
showrooms and service areas<br />
