DESIGN GUIDELINES
1. Building design shall avoid large monotonous facades, long straight line building
fronts, plain box shapes and barren exterior treatment consistent with the design
of residential function.
2. The roof lines of individual buildings should be varied to reduce building mass.
3. Occasional building modulation changes in depth and direction) should be used
to provide shade, shadow and visual relief by varying setbacks and roof
configurations to eliminate continuous uninterrupted walls and rooflines.
4. Building setbacks should increase with the height of the buildings; i.e. when
possible, the second story of a building should be set back further than the first
floor. Alternatively, the entire building should be setback further from the
adjacent property lines.
5. The combination of one- and two-story elements is encouraged for two-story
dwellings, with the second story setback along the front elevation, emphasizing a
pleasing view from the street.
6. Design the second story of a dwelling unit so as to minimize the impact and
intrusion upon neighboring lots.
7. Driveway areas should contain design features including landscaping and
textured paving.
8. Windows, doors, stairways, balconies, chimneys and other architectural features
shall be treated in a decorative manner, consistent with the overall architectural
theme, to break up monotony and add variety. For example, plain aluminum
frame windows should be avoided and multi-paned, octagonal, bay, greenhouse,
circular or other decorative styles should be used in their place.
9. All mechanical equipment including wall mounted utility meters and air
conditioning units shall be screened as an integral part of the building design and
shall be screened from public view. No screening method is to give the
appearance of being tacked on". Roof mounted equipment is prohibited.
10. Building materials should be selected for their architectural harmony and
aesthetic quality. A variety of harmonious materials should be used to avoid
monotony. For example, stucco walls should include trim of other materials such
as brick, rock, tile, or wood.
11. Roofing materials should consist of ceramic or concrete tile. Asphalt or
composition shingles should not be used.
16
2007 003 CC RESO @ˆæw 4 ‹!¾ 12. Perimeter walls shall be constructed of decorative concrete block i.e. stucco
coated with brick cap or tile trim or other treatment) so as to be consistent with
and complement the architectural style and colors of the building.
13. Natural earthtones or other colors with a subdued quality shall be used as the
dominant exterior finish. Bright, garish, non-harmonious, or out of character
colors should not be used.
14. Long straight pedestrian walkways should be mitigated through off-sets,
curvilinear approaches and changes in textures and/or colors.
15. Landscaping shall be an integral part of the site design. Significant mature trees
shall be preserved. Berming is encouraged within the required yard areas
adjacent to the street. Landscape plans should be prepared by a Landscape
Architect or other qualified person with extensive experience in the field of
landscape design.
16. A variety of landscaping materials, textures, colors and forms shall be used,
including trees, shrubs, ground cover, flowering plants, boulders, rocks, walls,
textured surfaces, trellises and other elements. Drought resistant plants are
recommended.
17. The design of all exterior light fixtures should be compatible with the architecture
of the building.
18. Driveways shall contain automatically controlled lighting.
19. Street lighting along Dalewood Street and the new cul-de-sac street shall be
compatible with the street light standards of the City of Baldwin Park.
