Material placement should be carefully and thoughtfully <br /> detailed. <br /> I Vertical plane changes <br /> of ■s II III TOP <br /> I II lP ,. <br /> � E sm r Outside Corner • <br /> r Inside Corner - <br /> • <br /> r _ i�� MIDDLE <br /> !Wit I Material transition P <br /> - _ �°I .f� '41P!� BASE <br /> 4 <br /> Fig. 13: (left) Materials Articulate Base, Middle, and Top; (right) Material Transition Limited to <br /> Inside Corners <br /> Development Standards <br /> All Housing Site Development <br /> B5.1 All changes in building wall material or color shall occur at inside corners. Building facades shall <br /> clearly relate to each other and communicate a cohesive idea. <br /> B5.2 Trims and architectural moldings shall be made from a different material than the surrounding <br /> wall. For example, stucco trims installed on stucco walls are prohibited. <br /> Multifamily Development <br /> B5.3 20%of the area of ground-level facades fronting public right of ways shall be composed of high <br /> quality materials including brick, stone, masonry, and tile. <br /> Single Family Tract Development <br /> B5.4 Accessory Dwelling Units and other structures on each lot shall be designed to appropriately <br /> relate to the main dwelling in context and detailing. <br /> Design Guidelines <br /> All Housing Site Development <br /> B5.a Facades should use materials and/or building forms to achieve a three-part horizontal division <br /> that differentiates between the top, middle and bottom of the building: <br /> a. Base: Incorporate smaller scale features and finer-grained materials and design treatments, <br /> relative to middle and top,that accentuates the rhythm of columns, windows, entry stoops, <br /> and porches. <br /> b. Middle: Incorporate materials and material joints that relates to window and balcony <br /> rhythms. <br /> c. Top: Incorporate changes in material, color, or pattern in façade treatments, relative to lower <br /> floors,that breaks down the height of the building. <br /> B5.b Materials should be selected to reinforce architectural character, building articulation and add <br /> visual interest. <br /> City of Pleasanton -39- DRAFT: December 14, 2022 <br />
