EFFECTIVE MAY 30, 2022 97 chapter 4 Additions to Historic Civic Buildings • Design an addition to a historic civic building so that its massing, scale, and proportions are subordinate to the historic building. • Design an addition to be complementary and compatible in design and detailing to the historic building, but clearly identifiable using methods such as roof breaks, wall insets, or wall off-sets. • Avoid adding steeples, awnings, balconies, chimneys, dormers, porches, shutters, or other architectural features that are atypical to historic civic buildings. • Avoid use of reflective glass, tinted glass, fixed panels, or other treatments that inhibit views into the building, but use of stained glass may be appropriate. This is not intended to apply to typical window treatments such as operable drapes or blinds. • See the Section on New Civic Buildings for guidance on Materials and Exterior Finishes and Roofs. • See the Section on Additions to Historic Commercial Buildings for guidance on details and ornamentation, entrances, windows, canopies, and gutters and downspouts. • See Chapter 9, Modern Features, for guidelines on communications equipment, mechanical equipment, solar installations, skylights, security bars, fire escapes and exterior staircases, and ramps and lifts. Non-Historic Civic Buildings • Design steeples to be no taller than those on nearby historic civic buildings. They should also be less massive than those on nearby historic civic buildings. • See the Section on New Civic Buildings for guidance on windows. • See the Section on New Commercial Buildings for guidance on all other features.
