126 NORTH HARBOR SPECIFIC PLAN way (ROW) shall be within enclosures and incorporat- ed into the building footprint. The location and archi- tectural design of trash enclosu~s, while meeting func- tional requirements (vehicular sight clearance, quanti- ty, access, storage size, etc.), shall also be unobtrusive in view and use as well as be complementary to the approved architectural style of the development. The enclosure shall be properly maintained and kept free of debris in all areas outside of the dumpsters. Dumpsters and trash enclosures shall not be located in the middle of the perking areas or adjacent to the street. All trash vehicles must enter or leave the public ROW with a forward motion. Trash storage must be located so that trash trucks may enter and leave the site with forward motion. Truck loading shall not be permitted in the public ROW. Views into any storage area shall be screened or filtered by concrete/plaster finish or masonry block walls, solid gates and trellises (when enclosure is within view of second-story buildings). The use of plant material such as trees shrubs (particularly unis) is encouraged to screen the overall appearance. The storage of all mat- erials shall meet all City requirements. 5.3.6 Vehicle Containment The materials utilized by automotive sales businesses to contain vehicles on their lot shall be carefully designed and shall include fencing, hedging and other low walls not to exceed 36 inches in height. The mate- rials must be acceptable to the city. Galvanized steel pipes imbedded in the ground or chainlink fencing are not acceptable. 5,3.7 Bus Turnouts Bus turnouts shall be provided at major intersections according to Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) plans and conforming to OCTA standards. Plastic pennant flag lines or corporate flags are not acceptable as flags or promotional material. Paving textures and materials shall be varied to the building entrances and incorporated within design of 28 the pro'~ct to define pedestrian pathways. 53.10 Roofs Materia/s Any material is acceptable, applicable building code permitting, except corrugated products. Materials (Non-Residential) Any material is acceptable, applicable building code permitting, except wood shingles, asphalt shingles or. corrugated products. Materials (General) Avoid materials that are intended to simulate other materials (such as plastic to look like brick or stone). Materials shall be contextual and compatible with each other. Colors Avoid bright colors. Select only colors that harmonize with the hue of the existing building. Roof slopes of a pitch greater than 12 inches horizontal to 12 inches vertical are prohibited. Steeply pitched roofs tend to appear "tacked on" and usually do not integrate well architecturally. (See Figure 5-D) for inappropriate treatment and Figure 5-E for an appro- priate treatment. Size/Proportion Avoid short roofs (e.g. five rows of tile), especially when roof is extended for a long distance along the ele- vation. Long expanses of roof elevation should be interrupted by a change in roof direction, higher roofs, etc. Avoid short roofs that do not terminate into a wall at the top of the roof slope (mansard) unless they slope for a substantial distance (thereby avoiding the impres- sion they have been "tacked-on"). Avoid short roofs that are attached to the face of tilt-up walls without support by columns. They also appear "tacked-on". $3.11 Mechanical Equipment S~ens Rooftop and ground mounted mechanical equipment shall be located and screened to minimize the visual intrusion of the equipment to the general public and users of the area. This shall be achieved by including the equipment in the utility moms within the building footprint. (Figure 5-F shows poorly screened equip-
