<br />-:.. <br /> <br />Public Facilities Policy 3: Distinctive Design. Integrate distinctive architectural design character <br />into all cultural and social buildings. <br /> <br />Guidelines: <br /> <br />3.1 Innovative architecture should emphasize the following hierarchy of design: <br />the potential Cultural Arts Center should be designed as the only architectural <br />landmark within the Grand Park. Other cultural and social buildings should <br />be designed as subtle focal points reflecting the more dominant natural <br />character of the planned landscape setting in which they are to be located. <br />All other buildings and structures should blend into the surrounding planned <br />natural setting in terms of form, materials and colors, and become "transparent" <br />in effect. <br /> <br />3.2 Local climate, geology, ecology and history should be carefully reflected in the <br />architectural design of cultural and social buildings. <br /> <br />Public Facilities Policy 4: Parking Impact Reduction. Minimize the impacts of new parking areas. <br /> <br />Guidelines: <br /> <br />4,1 Shared parking facilities should be utilized wherever feasible. <br /> <br />4.2 The visual impacts of large parking facilities should be minimized by breaking <br />parking areas up into smaller disbursed components, <br /> <br />4.3 Some structured parking should be considered for the potential Cultural Arts <br />Center as a means of maximizing available open space, Parking structural visual <br />mass should be minimized through architectural design, earth berms, landscape <br />planting, and partial undergrounding of the structure. <br /> <br />4.4 Street parking along Pleasanton Avenue should be prohibited in order to protect <br />outlying scenic open space views. <br /> <br />Public Facilities Design Objective <br /> <br />TO INTEGRATE THE DESIGN OF PUBLIC FACILITIES INTO THE GRAND PARK <br />OPEN SPACE SETTING. <br /> <br />Public Facilities Design Policy 1: Harmonious Site Vision.
