Thirty percent (30%) of the total exterior shall be used to treat the front of the building. In addition thirty percent (30%) of the total shall be used to treat any side of the building that faces a public street. Wall mounted signs and/or glass shall not be included in the twenty-five percent (25%) total of all sides. The requirements and standards of 17.49.070(1) are subject to Planning Commission approval. These standards are not applicable to the HI zone.
2. The Planning Commission may approve ribless, metal, flat-faced, stucco embossed, metal sandwich panel buildings when the Planning Commission finds that the building is aesthetically pleasing, adequately trimmed, contrasted with different colors, is well proportioned, blends in with surrounding property, and has a similar look to that achieved by 17.49.070(1). The exterior appearance of such buildings shall primarily be of earth tone colors. Applicants desiring to apply for this type of construction may consider the Lindon City Public Works building located at 946 West Center Street and the building located at 375 North 700 West in Pleasant Grove as examples of structures in compliance with this architectural design standard.
