AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 5.05.08 ARCHITECTURAL AND SIGHT DESIGN STANDARDS Section 5.05.08, Architectural and Site Design Standards, of Ordinance 04-41, as amended, the Collier County Land Development Code, is hereby amended to read as follows: 5.05.08 Architectural and Site Design Standards A. Purpose and Intent. 1. The purpose of these standards is to supplement existing development criteria in order to complement, enhance and enrich the urban fabric of Collier County with an abundant variety of architecture. The development of a positive, progressive and attractive community image and sense of place is vital to the economic health and vitality of Collier County. 2. Among the recurring details that are present in the architecture of Collier County include, but are not limited to, the following: a. Elements of Mediterranean design employing sloped barrel tile roofs, arcades and stucco; b. Old Florida design with wide verandas, metal roofs and lap siding; c. Modern International; and d. Various traditional historic references to Colonial, Bermuda and Island forms. Page 12 of 53 Words struckgh are deleted,words underlined are added 3. Building design contributes to the uniqueness of the project area and the Collier County community with predominant materials, design features, color range and spatial relationships tailored specifically to the site and its context. 4. While architectural embellishments are not discouraged, emphasis on scale, massing, form-function relationships, and relationship of the building or buildings to the site and surrounding context is strongly encouraged. Recognition of the environment and climate present in Collier County must be evident in the architecture. Gratuitous decoration applied to the building is strongly discouraged. 5. These standards and guidelines are intended to result in a comprehensive plan for building design and site development consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of the Collier County Growth Management Plan ("GMP") and the purpose and intent of the Land Development Code ("LDC"). These regulations are intended to promote the use of crime prevention through site design principals, including visibility-site lines for law enforcement as well as the general public. Additionally, the use of glazing materials and designs which reduces bird collisions is encouraged. 6. To maintain and enhance the attractiveness of the streetscape and the existing architectural design of the community, all buildings must have architectural features and patterns that provide visual interest from the perspective of the pedestrian, reduce building mass, recognize local character, and respond to site conditions. Façades must be designed to reduce the mass/scale and uniform monolithic appearance of large unadorned walls. Façades must provide, through the use of detail and scale, visual interest that is consistent with the community's identity and character. Articulation is accomplished by varying the building's mass, in height and width, so that it appears to be divided into distinct elements and details. B. Applicability. The provisions of section 5.05.08 apply: zoning districts set out below.
