1 MULTI-FAMILY Design Standards City of Oviedo

2 General Design Guidelines Produce a high quality living environment for all residents Enhance the relationship between new housing development and public streets/open spaces Maintain an appropriate overall scale and pattern of development within its context Integrate the architectural character of neighboring residences where it provides a positive example through the use of related building features including scale/mass, height, the proportions of entries, windows and other openings (fenestration), color, materials, and shapes Protect significant natural and man-made features such as mature vegetation, street trees, heritage trees and recreation area Provide for density through an efficient and cost effective use of land

5 Incentives to Comp Plan policies City standards focus on Comprehensive Plan Policies. The Comp Plan has policies that are required and policies that are encouraged If development meets policies encouraged (not required) by the Comp Plan, it will be eligible for density bonuses where applicable or will be eligible for deviation mitigation Encouraged Policies: Preserve > 25% of trees with caliper > 30 Provide complete public streets 25% of units addressing Communities for a lifetime (elevators or units at ground level) Low impact development engineering solutions 10% of guest parking spaces - charging stations for electric cars Solar energy solutions Health-design solutions: community gardens, bicycle lanes/trails

6 Site Design Streets/Alleys/Walkways Connectivity and Safety New streets and sidewalks should be extended and integrated into the existing public street system Site shall feature an integrated pedestrian circulation network Provide publicly accessible pedestrian walkway networks within the development Provide walkways between blocks to access common areas Gated communities are discouraged All streets minimum width: 50 Internal driveway minimum width: 24 Sidewalks minimum width: 5 clear of vehicle overhangs Development > 50 units = 2 access points Pedestrian and bike paths should be used where street connections to adjacent neighborhoods are infeasible

7 Site Design Streets/Alleys/Walkways Desired Not Desired Landscaped sidewalk network No sidewalk network

8 Site Design Streets/Alleys/Walkways Desired Not Desired Landscaped sidewalk network Auto and pedestrian access points should not be gated or closed off to the public ROW

9 Site Design Open Space Social integration and interaction At least 25% of the total site must be open space Open space and recreational areas shall be centrally located and linked to pedestrian network Locate open spaces to visually extend the street into a site for safe pedestrian use Value topographic, natural and historic site features Developments > 25 units shall provide a mini-park at a rate of: 250 sf/du for up to 50 units; 200 sf/du for 51/100 units; 150 sf/du for above 100 units

10 Site Design Open Space Social integration and interaction Desired Not Desired Buildings that face open spaces define the edges of the open space Large open space should be the fundamental organizing element of the site plan Play areas should not be isolated away from buildings and public spaces

11 Site Design Landscape Shade and greenery Preserve and protect existing healthy trees and green space Canopy street trees should be placed at a minimum of 50 interval. Alternatively, medium street trees may be allowed but the spacing is reduced to 30 Provide a minimum of 80% front yard landscaping

12 Site Design Landscape Desired Not Desired

13 Site Design - Landscape

14 Site Design Lighting Safety and convenience Lighting fixtures shall be consistent throughout the development and should complement the architecture Areas used by pedestrians shall be illuminated at night to ensure safety in such areas: sidewalks, plazas, recreational areas, entrances, garbage disposal areas, alleys Site lighting shall be located and directed to light the intended area of illumination and to prevent off-site glare impacts on adjacent buildings or properties Lighting shall be provided at regular intervals to prevent dark pockets. Buildings and sites should not be over-lit to make sure that upper floors are not affected by the glare

15 Site Design Lighting Lighting sources shall be partially or completely recessed within skirted lighting fixture Any other lighting fixtures types shall be capped to prevent upward lighting Light poles shall have fluted bases Lighting fixtures shall be black in color Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting sources are required for light poles Maximum light pole height: 16 Illuminated bollards are required along pathways.

16 Site Design Lighting Desired Not Desired Low lighting Pedestrian-scale lighting Pedestrian-friendly lighting Inadequate lighting

17 Site Design Site/Guest Parking Functional circulation Multi-family development should accommodate guest parking either on-street or in a common area Calculation for guest parking: 0.25 per unit

18 Site Design Sign Development entrance signs (free standing signs or wall signs) shall be complementary to the development architecture No changeable copy signs allowed for development entrance signs Desired

19 Building Siting Orientation Multi-family development front entrance should be oriented towards the streets, common areas or courtyards (publicly accessible space) Front entrances should be clearly defined with the use of architectural features Primary facades should create a street wall to define the public room Position buildings to face one another with a front-to-front and back-to-back relationship whether on either side of a street, lane or open space If buildings face each other in a common area instead of a street, the minimum distance between buildings is 50

20 Building Siting Orientation Distance between buildings Common area 50

21 Site Design Orientation Desired Not Desired Building creating a street wall

22 Site Design Orientation Desired Not Desired Building creating a street wall

23 Site Design Special street corners Buildings defining entrance Semi-public Park Central Park Special street corners Multiple entry-points: enhanced connectivity

24 Building Siting Setbacks The minimum front setback shall be the following: 0 for lots on complete streets and no front-loaded garages 10 for rear-loaded garages in non complete streets 20 for front-loaded structured garages/car entrance Minimum rear setbacks may vary from zero to 15 Setback areas should be landscaped Entry stoops, porches or architectural elements are encouraged and may encroach into the setback area up to 3 Detached garages are allowed (setbacks TBD)

25 Building Siting On-site parking On-site Parking requirement has minimum and maximum standards # Bedrooms # Min Parking spaces # Max Parking Spaces One bedroom 2 2 Two bedrooms 2 2 Three bedrooms 2 3 >Four bedrooms 3 4 Additional parking spaces than the maximum will trigger the need for a structured parking garage

26 Building Siting On-site parking Minimum of 10% parking spaces shall be designated as charging stations Surface Parking shall be located in the rear of the building hidden from the street view Structured Garages shall be placed behind or below the building Detached Garages shall be placed behind buildings Emphasis should be placed on the building entrances, and entrance to structured garages should not occupy more than 10% of the primary facade length Detached rear garages are permitted as well as parking garages

27 Building Siting On-site parking Desired Not Desired Parking between building and street

28 Building Siting The use of corners Desired Not Desired

29 Building Form Primary Facade Secondary Façade Blank walls not allowed

30 Building Form Articulation and design The intent is to reduce the apparent size of buildings and create visual interest Building facades and roofs shall include architectural elements that vary the appearance of a large building mass, break up long blank walls, express the individuality of each dwelling, and enhance the character of the neighborhood Architectural elements and variations shall not be restricted to a single facade. All sides of a building shall display a proportionate level of quality and architectural interest

31 Building Form Articulation and design Multi-family buildings shall employ the following: 30% of the façade that fronts a street, park, plaza, or onsite courtyard shall be occupied by windows Buildings main entrances shall be provided on the front façade Buildings shall provide variation in design, materials, or color applications. Each building shall have a compatible design, color scheme, and palette of materials with adjacent buildings Articulation requirements: Primary façade: 3; Secondary façade: 2; Rear façade: 1 (facing alley/parking)

32 Building Form Articulation and design Façades that front a street, pedestrian access zone, public space, on-site courtyard, or alley, shall be articulated to improve the quality of the design. Appropriate methods of articulation include: Vertical modulation Horizontal modulation Changing the direction of the wall plane Increasing the number of window openings on the façade Adding projecting façade elements, such as a porches, porticos, bay windows, colonnades, arches, canopies or balconies

33 Building Form - Articulation Multiple window openings Projecting façade element Change in wall panel Different roof lines Change in materials Entrance demarcated Detail Corner differentiated Street wall

34 Building Form Articulation and Design Desired Not Desired

35 Building Form Articulation and Design Desired Not Desired

36 Building Form Roof Roofing forms, slopes, details, materials, and overall design should be compatible with the overall style and character of the structure Parapet walls should be used for screening flat roofs and should be detailed with such features as cornice to define the building roofline Sloping roof forms may be considered as accents All roofs should include gutters/downsprouts that: Drain directly into a cistern, landscaped area, or storm drain system. Match the trim or body color of the façade. Are discreetly located. Roof overhangs should not extend over a neighboring parcel or more than 3 from the façade. Roof vent pipes that are visible from streets and pedestrian areas should be painted to match the color of the roof to make them less visible. If mechanical equipment is installed on the roofs, a parapet 1 higher than the equipment shall be installed

37 Building Form Roof Desired Not Desired

38 Building Form Fenestration

39 Building Form Fenestration Desired Not Desired

40 Building Form Materials Material treatment shall be consistent in all façades Materials shall be complementary to one another and appropriate for the architectural style Materials shall be varied and contrasting either to differentiate buildings or to provide character and movement to the set of buildings. The minimum number of building materials used on a façade shall be 2 (excluding windows and trimming). The % calculation shall be based on exterior walls, excluding fenestration and decorative elements (roofs, columns, trims, etc.) Changes in material shall generally occur when there is a change in the plane of the façade. The change in material shall occur on inside corners of the building. Front, side and rear façades shall be designed with similar architectural elements, materials, and colors. However, front facades shall require more architectural features. Brick and stone materials should wrap around corners to give an appearance of structural function and minimize a veneer appearance. If used, brick and stone veneer should be mortared to give the appearance that they have a structural function

41 Building Form Materials Appropriate wall façade materials include: Brick Stone Wood panel or painted or stained lap horizontal siding and vertical board and batten wood siding (max. 40%) Stucco (max. 40%) Appropriate accent/decorative façade materials include: Textured aluminum (just as accent elements max. 20%) Finished and painted wood trim Wood, anodized aluminum, copper, steel, and vinyl clad wood frames for windows and doors Inappropriate building materials include: Plywood Unfinished lumber Aluminum, textured T-11, or corrugated fiberglass, sheet metal, or tin siding

47 Materials Siding

48 Building Form Materials Desired Not Desired Multiple materials Single material

49 Building Form Materials Desired Not Desired

50 Building Form Materials Desired Not Desired A unique design is encouraged Alternating material and color schemes on identical building types creates a "cookie cutter effect and is not recommended

51 Building Form Colors Extensively bold, bright, fluorescent, and neon colors should be avoided. If used, the colors should be used as accent colors on window and door frames, building trim, and details Color applications on a façade shall be limited to maximum three colors in exterior and one as accent colors Painted building surfaces should have a matte finish. Trim work may have a glossy finish The natural colors or brick or stone material should be maintained. These materials should not be painted or glazed and do not count as a color

52 Building Form Colors Desired Not Desired

53 Building Form Height The maximum height of multi-family shall be 60 Difference in height can be used to create movement Ceiling heights should range between 8 and 12 tall

54 Accessory structures fences and walls

55 Accessory structure fences and walls Fences and walls (excluding retaining and subdivision walls) should be a maximum of 3 tall. Rear and side yard fences and walls should be a maximum of 6 tall. Fence and wall posts should be 4 to 6 taller than the fence or wall Development walls shall be a maximum of 6 high If a development wall faces a ROW, the subdivision shall provide a tract (common area) between the private property and the ROW where the wall/fence will be built

56 Accessory structures service areas All exterior equipment (HVAC, electrical, storage tanks, satellite dishes shall be screened from off-site and on-site common area view in an architecturally integrated manner Garbage dumpsters shall be enclosed and shall be located in areas that are not highly visible from public streets Exterior equipment may be bundled in common areas

57 Accessory structures solar panels Visual compatibility- either invisible or some visibility of solar panels in public areas while maintaining the character of the development by: Minimizing visual presence through the use of similar colors, textures, profiles, shapes, placement, and other means to minimize the presence of solar panels and allow it to be more of a background feature rather than calls attention to itself Integrated element in the architecture (such as solar shingles also termed photovoltaic shingles)

58 Health - oriented design Offer residents a viable choice to walk or bike for their local trips Propose a walking route within the development or neighborhood with distance marks
