corresponding building type section in POW 20.38.230.of the total street -facing facade area and utilize the
required window trim size requirements as follows:
(a) The calculation for determining compliance with the 8% window area requirement shall be as
follows:
Total Window Area = (Sum of the individual areas of all windows on the street -facing facade)
Total Facade Area = (The total surface area of the street -facing facade)
Window Area Percentage = (Total Window Area / Total Facade Area) * 100
b) The facade is measured from the base of the house to the start of the roofljne and any other
vertical walls facing the street, except for gabled portions of the facade not containing livable floor
area.

f) Significantly increased facade transparency percentages in a modern
architectural application. In modern architectural applications. increased facade
transparency percentages, achieved through large windows or glass facades, shall be used to
create visual interest.

based on the size of the development or street block, and shall comply with the following standards:
fill Duplicative building designs adjacent to each other are prohibited. Simple reverse
configurations of the same building design on adjacent lots are not sufficient to meet architectural
variety goals. Exceptions may be granted by the director in special circumstances where similar
architectural consistency provides a distinct character for a cluster of buildings surrounding -an -open
space or on a particular street.
(ii) Generally, the more buildings in a subdivision or on a street block. the greater the
number of different facade elevations will be required. Specifically, the following subdivision and
street block variety standards shall apply:
Al Subdivisions.
i) Ten to 19 buildings, a minimum of four different facade elevations shall
be used.
ij) Twenty to 39 buildings, a minimum of five different facade elevations
shall be used.
iiil Forty to 69 buildings, a minimum of six different facade elevations shall
be used.
(iv) Seventy or more buildings, a minimum of seven different facade
elevations shall be used.

iii) Eleven to 14 buildings, a minimum of five different facade elevations
shall be used.
(iv) Fifteen or more buildines, a minimum of six different facade elevations
shall be used.
b) Definition of Different Facade Elevation: In order to qualify as a different facade
elevation, buildings shall meet the following criteria:
i) Have different roofline configurations, different color palettes, and different
porch/entry design that meets the requirements of POW 20.38.240.
ii) Utilize a minimum of two of the following alternatives:
(A) Different window openings (location and design).
B) One- and two-story buildings.
(C) Different exterior materials and finishes.
D) Different garage location, configuration, and design.
E) Other different design element that helps to distinguish one facade
elevation from another as determined by the director.
SECTION 7. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance
should be held to be unconstitutional or unlawful by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other
section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance.
SECTION 8. Corrections. Upon the approval of the city attorney, the city clerk and/or
code publisher is authorized to make any necessary technical corrections to this ordinance,
including but not limited to the correction of scrivener's/clerical errors, references, ordinance
