16.20.614 Blank Walls
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
(1) Blank Wall Definition. A wall (including building facades and retaining walls)
is considered
a blank wall if:
(a) A ground floor wall or portion of a ground floor wall over six feet in height
has a horizontal length greater than 15 feet and does not include a transparent
window or door; or
(b) Any portion of a ground floor wall having a surface area of 400 square feet or
greater does not include a transparent window or door.

400 ff I

- --------
(2) Blank Wall Standards. Untreated blank walls visible from a public street or
pedestrian pathway are prohibited. Methods to treat blank walls can include:
(a) Display windows at least 16 inches of depth to allow for changeable displays.
Tack on display cases shall not qualify as a blank wall treatment.
Ordinance No. 007-15
Page 7 of 14
(b) Landscape planting bed at least five feet wide or a raised planter bed at least
two feet high and three feet wide in front of the wall with planting materials that
are sufficient to obscure or screen at least 60 percent of the wall's surface within
three years.
(c) Installing a vertical trellis in front of the wall with climbing vines or
plant materials.
(d) Special building detailing that adds visual interest at a pedestrian scale. Such
detailing must use a variety of surfaces; monotonous designs will not meet the
intent of the standards. For large visible blank walls, a variety of treatments may
be required to meet the intent of the standards.
Figure: Blank Wall Treatment Examples
Good and bad blank wall treatment examples. Image A illustrates that heavy
landscaping can be very effective in treating a large blank wall. Image B uses a
combination of planted trellises and display ads integrated with the building's
architecture along a facade facing a drive -through. Image C simply doesn't use
enough treatments and the result is a stark and unwelcome streetscape.
Section 13. Section 16.20.615 of the Port Orchard Municipal Code is hereby amended to

10,000 square feet or which have facade length greater than 100 feet and which
are visible from a public street or located within 100 feet of a residential zone
shall use the following elements and features in design and construction of the
building:
(1) No wall plane visible from any public right-of-way shall be wider than 2.5
times the height of the wall plane (a wall plane is a flat vertical surface on a
building facade, which may include doors, windows, openings, or other incidental
recessions that do not extend through to the roof line).
(2) Any wall or portion of a wall which is visible from a public street must
contain 50 percent surface transparency.
(3) All building walls shall provide horizontal modulation consistent with the
following standards:
(a) The maximum allowable horizontal length of a building wall between
modulations is 100 feet;
(b) The minimum depth of each modulation is 10 feet; and
(c) The minimum width of each modulation is 15 feet.
(d) As an alternative treatment, horizontal modulation may be provided by

feet of that portion of the building wall requiring modulation.

For buildings with flat, gabled, hipped, or similar roofs, with slopes of less than
three feet vertical to 12 feet horizontal, the maximum length of any continuous
roof line is 50 feet, without being modulated. If the continuous roof line exceeds
50 feet in length, the following methods must be used:
(1) The height of the visible roof line must change at least four feet if the adjacent
roof segments are less than 50 feet in length.
(2) The height of the visible roof line must change at least eight feet if the
adjacent roof segments are 50 feet or more in length.
Ordinance No. 007-15
Page 9 of 14

saw -tooth, must have a significant change in slope or roof line at least every 100
feet.
(5) The roof line at the top of the structure shall not run in a continuous plane for
more than 100 feet without offsetting or jogging the roof plane.
(6) Nearly vertical roofs (A -frames) and mansard roofs used on portion of
building perimeter only are prohibited. Mansard roofs, if used, shall completely
wrap around the entire building perimeter.

should be located below the highest vertical element.
(8) The following roof materials are not acceptable: corrugated metal; high
contrast or brightly colored glazed tile; highly reflective surfaces; and illuminated

(3) To maintain a distinction between upper and lower floors, the ground level
facade shall have larger patterns of glass than the upper.
(4) The use of bay, bow and box windows is encouraged.

(1) Multiple -tenant office buildings shall be clustered and designed with common
materials, colors and styles across their entire facades so as to create cohesive
building designs. However, they can be characterized by variation in the
application of said materials and colors and also in fenestration details. For
example, siding materials or colors may be alternated between building sections;
provided, that no single section be of a material or color that is not found on other
portions or elements of the facade design. Accent siding materials and prominent
siding materials may also be reversed to create interest. Tenant -specific motifs are
prohibited if they do not reflect the style, colors and materials that characterize the
overall facade design. For purposes of this section, a single building is defined as
any structure that is not completely separated from another structure by at least a
10-foot distance.
(2) Common materials, colors and styles are encouraged for multiple buildings on
a single site; however, each building shall be unique in terms of its general
massing design and fenestration design. Variety in design may be achieved by
variation in each building's footprint, roof lines, facade modulation, and window
arrangement. Color and materials may also be varied.
(3) Buildings greater than 40,000 square feet in area shall use one or more of the
following elements in an effort to reduce the appearance of excess bulk in large
buildings:
(a) Variety in surface planes of exterior walls in depth or direction;
(b) Variety of the height of the building so it appears to be divided into separate
distinct sections;
(c) Articulation in different parts of the building's facade by use of color, change
in materials, and arrangement of elements;
(d) Use of landscape and pavement materials at ground level to encourage the
transition from building to parking areas;
(e) Use of building trellises, wall articulation, change in materials, arcades, or
other features.
Ordinance No. 007-15
Page 11 of 14
(4) To enhance the pedestrian scale of any new development or redevelopment,
buildings must:
(a) Provide project -appropriate details including window patterns, structural bays,
roof overhangs, siding, awnings, moldings, fixtures, and other details.
(b) Show a relationship to adjacent pedestrian areas (i.e., plazas, courtyards, street
sidewalks) and other buildings.
(c) Create transitions in bulk and scale between large buildings and adjacent
smaller buildings through the use of appropriately scaled landscaping, fencing, art
or other structures.
(d) Provide overhead weather protection and interior lot pedestrian oriented
lighting.
(e) Public sidewalks shall be separated from the public roadway through use of
landscape planting strips, parking bulb -outs and street furnishings where
appropriate.
(f) Pedestrian walkways internal to the site shall be a minimum of 10 feet in
width.
lot but in any event, no building shall be required to have more than 2 entrances.

right-of-way and each building entrance.

create a regular pattern of shapes, indentations, or spaces that are accented or
highlighted with contrasting shades of color.
