Inappropriate Materials For Che DJwnCOMI district, materials which are rustic or rough-hewn in appearance, flimsy, improperly applied, intended for residential or industrial applicae ion or used to create a design chime incons is ten[ with [he established character of PLeasanton are all inappropriate for use on conunerc ial facades or storefronts. - IIATERCALS Nt7L CONS ISIGNT WITH THE DES?GN OF STOREFRONT BUILDTNCS. such as "an[iqued" brick, lava rock, penvastone or others. - RUSTIC OR RUUCfI-HBWN PATERIALS such as rough-sawn wood siding, "log" siding, diagonally applied siding, fie lds[one, shakes or shingles except where appropr is [e for detailing on his[o ric wood s'[ructures. - RESIDENTIAL hWTER IALS including small-scale tiles (less than 3" square), intended for kitchen or bath. - UTILITARIAN OR INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS such as corrugated siding, shiny metal sheets, plastic, fiberglass or plywood panels. Building projections may take several different forms: they may 6e strut [orally integral or applied to [he facade; functional or strictly ornamental; and may 6e se[ back from the sidewalk or cover it. Small ornamental projections such as cornices, window heads and so on which serve as architectural accents to provide detail and depth [o [he facade are addressed by earlier guidelines for BUILDING FACADES. This section addresses only [hose elements such as- awnings, covered sidewalks, porches and bay windows which project a significant diseance from the building wall. Certain types of projections can enhance the character and pedestrian amenity of [he Ibwntown district while also providing protection For storefronts and pedestrians. Others will detract from it, serving no purpose other than to call attention [o the building. For this reason, only those projections which respect the architectural integrity of existing buildings and [he pedestrian orientation of street and sidewalk areas are re conmended.

These should be removed as par[ of any major bui ld ingrenova[ton. New projections should be added to existing buildings only when their design is consistent with the guidelines which folly+. Applied orNon-Integral Projections Included in tltis category are projections such as awnings, which are attached directly to the bui Ld iqg facade without vertical supports or structural integration with [he building. APPROPRIATE TYPES: The projection should be light in weight and appearance and should not overwhelm the facade. Applied projections are compatible with a variety of building Cypes and architectural style as Long as these guidelines are followed: - PROJECTION IS EASILY CHANGED OR REPLACE when [he s[oref con[ or building occupancy changes. - PROJECTION IS ATTACHED TO THE STOREF'RON WITHOUT OBSCURING EXISTING ARCVIITECTURP DETAILS, such as cornices or moldings. - APPROPRIATE TYPES AND hIATERIALS ARE USED. In general, adjustable or Ei zed canvas awnings are the moss appropriate for Downtown buildings, not continuous horizontal metal projections or awnings INAPPROPRIATE TYPES: Projections which appear heavy or bulky or which dominate the facade are inappropriate for Downtowr build logs. These elements serve loore to attract attention Chan to addarchi[ec- Cural interest or to provide pro [action for storefronts or pedestrians. tJhen attached Co an existing building their bulky size frequently covers up architec- tural elements and details which contri- bute to the building's clvaracce r.
