I. Design Standards (Subdistricts A & A-Ext & B & Q For the purposes of design continuity, place -making and aesthetically linking the MSROD with the architecture present in the existing downtown thru the design of both buildings and the public realm, the following design guidelines apply: 1. Materials: Most materials used in the design of building facades should be traditional materials consistent in color and style observed within the extant buildings in the downtown area. a. Such materials include, but may not be limited to, masonry, limestone, terra cotta, ceramic tile, metal, and brick. b. First -floor non-residential storefront window flames are encouraged to be anodized aluminum, painted aluminum, or painted wood in complementary colors such as white, black, or dark bronze. c. Use of exterior insulating finish systems (EIFS) is strongly discouraged on new construction. If utilized EIFS shall be aesthetically in keeping with traditional.building materials utilized on the structure and shall be designed with reinforcing to be impact resistant to eight feet (8') above grade. d. Proponents of new construction adjacent to the rail line are encouraged to conduct a seismic and acoustical assessments and design any proposed structures accordingly. Building design should seek to minimize noise levels due to passing trains on the interior of buildings and attenuate sound reflection on the exterior. The exterior of buildings adjacent to the main rail corridor, and particularly portions of structures proposed within the MBTA Zone of Influence, should include features to mitigate air- borne and ground -borne noise. Building architectural design and facade treatments shall be selected to diffuse sound and minimize the outward reflection of sound from passing trains to the greatest extent shown to be practical. 2. Windows. a. Security grilles or shutters are discouraged. b. Solid shutters are prohibited. c. Storefront glass. [1] In instances when the first -floor use is non-residential, storefront glass shall be a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the first -floor frontage along public streets, when commercial use.

[4] First -floor non-residential storefront glass shall be a minimum height of seven feet and either clear or obscured glass shall be allowed. Mirrored or reflective glass is prohibited. [5] The top of first -floor non-residential storefront glass is encouraged to be at least ten feet (10') above grade level and visually related to adjacent buildings. [6] Ornamental lintels, belt courses, or similar elements may be provided at the top of storefront glass, however, such treatments are not required to be continuous or be applied uniformly to all building facades. 3. Building facades. a. Coordinated architectural facade design through fenestration (arrangement, size, and proportion of windows and doors), ornamentation, and aesthetic details such as architectural reveals, pilasters, projecting ribs, material, and/or color changes are encouraged. Projecting bays, columns, recessed balconies, and roof shape variation is encouraged. Building facades may also include appurtenances such as cupolas, gables, turrets, spires, widow walks, trellises, etc. b. No uninterrupted length of any facade should exceed forty percent (40%) of the facade's total length, or eighty-five (85) horizontal feet, whichever is less, without incorporating one of the following: color change, material change, texture change; and one of the following plane projections or recesses, trellises, balconies, or windows. c. The architecture facing a public space or Traveled Way or Sidewalk should incorporate features such as moldings, columns, pilasters, and other architectural details. The architectural features, materials, and the articulation of a facade of a building shall be continued on all sides visible from a public street or circulation road. d. Building facades may be designed to visually relate to horizontal elements on extant local or adjacent structures. e. Use of architectural detailing with elements such as a water table, cornice, canopy, balcony, or another visual device may be employed to help create horizontal articulation and scale between the ground and upper levels. The creation of vertical detailing that visually connects the entire building's height to the ground plane without the use of horizontal banding is appropriate. 4. Roof Profiles a. Roof profiles should employ varied vertical and horizontal planes for visual relief to the tops of buildings. Design elements such as parapets, cornices, towers, and piers may also be used. HVAC equipment shall be screened. b. Parapet walls along rooflines shall feature three-dimensional cornice treatments or include detail to create shadow lines and visual interest. c. Design elements such as false mansard roofing may be used to create the appearance of a well -scaled building such that the upper floor of a building is incorporated into the roof line. d.
