Entrances <br />Primary pedestrian entrances should be easily identifiable and attractive to pedestrians. <br />• Design main entrances to be clearly identifiable as seen from primary driveways and <br />drop-offs. <br />- Entrances should be designed as contrasting areas on a building's facade. <br />• Use building entranceways as transitions from buildings to the ground plane. <br />Specific criteria include: <br />- Walls, terraces, grading, and plant materials should be incorporated. <br />- Terraces or porticos can be used to define and extend entrances. <br />• Design secondary entrances to connect to pedestrian circulation systems. These <br />entrances should be visible from parking areas. They may also be more subdued. <br />Color and Materials Palette <br />Visual continuity in major building materials is desired throughout the project area. <br />• Use wall materials that are muted in color and have texture. Specific criteria include <br />the following: <br />- Natural matte textures and earth tone colors are encouraged. Textured, colored <br />concrete may also be considered. <br />- The use of fine textured materials, such as brick, cast stone, tile, and textured <br />block are encouraged. Horizontally textured concrete, stucco and dark metal panels <br />or glass spandrel panels may be suitable if used at a scale visually related to <br />pedestrians. <br />- Wood is not appropriate as a primary building material. <br />• Reserve the use of strongly contrasting materials and colors for accents, such as <br />building entrances, railings, stairs, etc. Avoid an excessive variety of facade <br />materials. <br />• If glass is proposed at pedestrian levels, use clear or lightly tinted low -e glass <br />(glazing), particularly at pedestrian levels where transparency between indoor and <br />outdoor spaces is desirable. <br />• Select building materials that will age with grace. Avoid Tight colored materials that <br />may streak, fade, stain, generate glare, or detract from the natural setting. <br />• Glass with reflective, metallic coatings that increase glare is discouraged. <br />• Site -cast concrete should provide effective articulation. <br />• Large expanses of stucco visible from public areas are discouraged. <br />Human Scale Materials <br />Building materials manufactured in units measurable in human proportions should be <br />used whenever possible. Materials such as brick, tile, concrete masonry units, and <br />modular stone help people interpret the size of a building. Perceiving the scale of a <br />building is important in terms of a pedestrian's ability to relate comfortably to it. Avoid <br />over -scaling materials. <br />• Use building materials that are familiar in their dimensions and can be repeated in <br />understandable modules. <br />• Combine building materials in modules that can be visually measured. Consider the <br />following specific criteria: <br />
