Design Review Guidelines
The project will be evaluated on the following criteria:

- Architectural character
- Materials and color
- Ingress, egress and parking
- Landscaping
- Screening and buffering
- Signage
- Exterior lighting
Particular attention shall be made to assure architectural style and quality, roof structures, exterior colors, building materials, and other features are compatible with the Design Guidelines (PDF). Unless otherwise approved by the Design Review Committee, earth tone colors shall prevail in town center buildings and other exterior components. As provided for within the Design Review Guidelines, the committee will review plans to assure that the objectives of the Design Guidelines are achieved.
Reasonable additional requirements as to landscaping, lighting, signs or other advertising devices, screening, accessways, building placement, building setback and height limitations may be imposed by the Design Review Committee for the protection of adjoining property owners and to maintain a consistent town center image.
All building elevation drawings, site plans, exterior material and color palates, signs and landscape plans must be reviewed by the Design Review Committee. Please refer to Chapter 1168, D-1 Zoning District, in the zoning code.
