Mixed Residential Development Permit Area Design Guidelines
- West Coast treatment through the arrangement of natural toned cementitious materials, mullioned window treatments, extensively glazed entry doors and windowed garage doors similar to previous phases.
- Cladding includes horizontal plank and board & batten to provide variety and texture, and some units have stone type accent siding.
- The blocks are arranged to follow the central driveway, which has been designed to follow the site sloping topography.
- Building lighting will be dark skies friendly
- Street lighting will be energy efficient LED.
