Side Street City of Temecula — Old Town Specific Plan IV -1 S V. DESIGN GUIDELINES C. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELLNES The architectural design guidelines for Old Town are organized into four topics_ building form, frontage type, architectural style, and materials. While architectural principles are defined, variety and individual expression within this framework are encouraged. The community desires a character of architecture and streetscape reflecting Temecula Valley's history, natural landscape and climate. 1. Building Form By 1930, the buildings on Main Street provided clear and well-defined edges to the public realm. The building facades were all positioned on the build -to line, and the building forms were strong, simple 2-Story 3-Story volumes. Variety on street edges was created through the use of various frontage types (galleries, arcades, etc.). Future buildings in Old Town are encouraged to reinforce this historic pattern thrptgh the _use o_f simple and clear building massing, enlivened with carious frontage types. Building facades that exceed 50 linear feet should incorporate varying architectural expression, character, and rooflines so_as-to appear to be made up of various smaller building facades. Figure V-26 illustrates some common examples of two, three and four-story building forms that are encouraged in Old Town. The heavy dashed line is the build -to line on which the facade must be positioned, the heavy solid line is the property line, and the double thin lines represent the curb. The 10-foot wide public sidewalk lies between the property line and the curb, and the 10- foot extension of the sidewalk onto private land lies Ftsww V-26: Zra npks of permitted buddug forms in Old Town 3 Story + 4th Setback between the property line and the build -to line_ Galleries, arcades, awnings, canopies: signage, etc. are located within the 10 feet between the property line and the facade_ The realm of the streets is the primary public asset in Old Town- The goals for this public realm include clearly defined street edges, architecture with character, and a lively and interesting pedestrian experience. While the private needs of tenants are met within the interior spaces; the public responsibility is to contribute to a clearly defined street providing a pleasant pedestrian experience. The following section focuses on frontage types that may be combined with simple building forms to achieve these goals for the public realm. 3-Story + Forecourt City of Temecula - Old Town Specific Plan V-19 f.
