Section G: Building Site & Design Standards <br /> Exterior Building Materials <br /> Exteriors will be constructed of quality materials durable for longevity in the maritime climate. <br /> Durable materials add dimension of timelessness and allow communities to evolve over time. <br /> Materials should convey a District's and building type's unique character and identity. <br /> • Acceptable materials include masonry, coated steel, heavy gauge aluminum or aluminum <br /> allow, and wood that is well treated. <br /> • Masonry should be stone (such as granite), brick, or high quality concrete. Cladding may <br /> be acceptable. Ground face block may also be acceptable in marine commercial and <br /> service areas. <br /> For pitched roofs, slate, metal or a composite material may be used. Color, texture, and unit size <br /> of composite roofs must have an appropriate maritime or natural look. <br /> Composite exterior skin and roofing materials may be used if color, texture, and unit size are <br /> compatible with the district and building type's aesthetic. <br /> Window Glazing <br /> • Tinted, dark gray, green, mirrored or reflective glass or film shall not be permitted at <br /> ground level on any building. <br /> Finishes- <br /> Finishes will be durable, low maintenance, and must fit with the Waterfront Place Central <br /> aesthetic. <br /> • Steel finishes shall be stainless, galvanized, painted or powder coated. <br /> • Masonry finishes shall be smooth or lightly textured. <br /> • Wood finishes shall include appropriate protective sealants for longevity. <br /> Detailing— <br /> Building details, whether decorative or functional, must be thoughtfully designed to convey <br /> visual interest and reinforce the aesthetic quality of Waterfront Place Central.

Detailing is a key component that expresses <br /> the unique characteristics and qualities of each building type. <br /> Building Mounted Exterior Lighting <br /> Exterior lighting that is mounted to buildings shall be coordinated with the building's <br /> architectural design and character as well as the character of the District. <br /> 2014 Waterfront Place Central Supplemental Design Guidelines -95- <br />
