(9) Commercial/Mixed Use Building Projections <br /> (A) Building entrances must be visible from the street, well-lit, and easily <br /> accessible. Architectural elements, canopies, and lighting must help to <br /> identify entrances, not screen them. Main commercial/retail entrances <br /> should be emphasized with larger doors, door/window combinations, <br /> overhangs, recesses, unique roof forms, arches, accent colors, or <br /> architectural details. <br /> (B) Building projections should be pedestrian-scale, proportional to the <br /> building facade and commercial base, and relate to adjacent structures. <br /> Building projections which obscure or conceal important architectural <br /> elements are discouraged. <br /> (C) Building mounted lighting should be carefully integrated into the <br /> design/style of the building and streetscape. <br /> (D) There must be no exposed undersides of balconies visible from the <br /> streetscape. <br /> (E) Pedestrian pass-throughs, arcades or paseos, and other like permanent <br /> architectural features must be finished on all their surfaces with the same <br /> quality and types of materials described in these guidelines. <br /> (F) Building awnings design and colors should be consistent and <br /> complementary in color and style within the overall building fagade and <br /> adjacent buildings. <br /> (G) Awnings should be constructed of a metal armature with a sunbrella or <br /> similar high-quality awning material canvas or vinyl membrane. <br /> Retractable and internally lit awnings are prohibited. <br /> (H) A standard clear awning height must be eight and a half feet (8'6") above <br /> the sidewalk. <br /> (10) Commercial/Mixed Use Building Lighting <br /> Typical building-mounted accent lighting may serve a number of purposes.
