A: The Town of Trophy Club currently defines density in its subdivision ordinance as “the number of dwelling units per gross acre of subdivision, excluding any areas that are nonresidential in use.” It is assumed that this is how densities have been used in the past as well as currently. Q: What is the basis for the planning principles of including open space in the land mass used to calculate density. A: As far as planning principles with respect to density calculations, residential density is typically measured in one of two ways, “net” or “gross”. Gross density can be defined as the numerical value obtained by dividing the total number of dwelling units in a development by the gross area of the tract of land (in acres) within a development. This would include rights-of-way of streets, dedicated park land, dedicated open space, and designated floodplain areas; the result being the number of dwelling units per gross acre of land. Net density can be defined as the numerical value obtained by dividing the total number of dwelling units in a development by the area of the actual tract of land (in acres) upon which the dwelling units are proposed to be located and including common open space and associated recreational facilities within the area; the result being the number of dwelling units per net residential acre of land. Net density calculations exclude rights-of-way of streets, dedicated parkland, dedicated open space, and designated floodplain areas. Density is a confusing and often misunderstood principal that is used to measure development within a municipality. Understanding density requires the ability to visualize all aspects of a development and weigh the pros and cons of the individual developments. As illustrated, density cannot be uniformly applied to every development. Due to the varying possibilities on every piece of property, no single development should be used as a benchmark for other developments. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 5 of 72 Instead, municipal officials should consider what will be most beneficial to the city while also answering the questions of: 1. Is this the appropriate land use for the property? 2. Is this in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan? 3. Is this in the best interest of the community’s health, safety and welfare? 4. Is this decision arbitrary, discriminatory, or capricious?

Building Walls and Roofs 1) An expression line shall delineate divisions between floors of all buildings, and a cornice shall delineate the tops of facades that do not utilize a pitched roof. 2) All buildings shall be designed such that no mechanical equipment (HVAC, etc.) and satellite dishes are visible from the public right-of-way or open space, whether the equipment is located on the ground, exterior walls or the roof. To screen rooftop mechanical equipment, other appurtenances, and flat or built-up roofs, all structures having a 6,000 square feet or less footprint shall be constructed with a pitched roof. Those structures having a footprint greater than 6,000 square feet shall be constructed with either a pitched or parapet roof system enclosed on all sides. 3) Mansard roofs and flat membrane-type roofs that are visible from ground level are prohibited. 4) For retail storefronts, a transom, display window area and bulkhead at the base shall be utilized. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 42 of 72 5) Ground floor retail building plate heights should provide for at least fourteen feet (14’) in height. 6) Generally, windows shall be oriented vertically. 7) Columns and piers generally shall be spaced no farther apart than they are tall. 8) Transparency: i. Each floor of any building façade facing a park, plaza or street shall contain transparent windows covering from fifteen percent (15%) to seventy-five percent (75%) of the façade area. ii. In order to provide clear views of merchandise and to provide natural surveillance of exterior street spaces, the ground-floor along the retail storefront facade shall have transparent storefront windows covering no less than fifty percent (50%) of the façade area. iii. Entryways recessed at least four feet (4’). b. Permitted Finishes: 1) At least eighty percent (80%) of the exterior of all new buildings (excluding doors and windows) shall be finished in one or more of the following materials: i. Brick, stone, cast stone, or stucco. ii. Split face concrete block, poured-in-place concrete, and tilt-wall concrete. It is the intent that any use of concrete products shall have an integrated color and be textured or patterned. Tilt-wall concrete structures shall include reveals, punch-outs, or other similar surface characteristics to enhance the façade on at least twenty percent (20%) of each façade. iii. Side facades and rear facades shall be of finished quality and of the same color and materials that blend with the front of the building. Rear facades may be painted tilt-wall or painted block matching the same color of the rest of the building if the rear façade faces an alley or is not viewable from a public street or right-of-way. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 43 of 72 2) To improve the pedestrian orientation, the ground floor of commercial/retail buildings shall utilize a combination of the following, unless otherwise approved by the Town: i. Corbelling, molding, string coursing, ornamentation, changes in material and color, or other sculpturing of the base; ii. Recessed windows or other techniques to distinguish the windows in the façade such as arches, pediments and mullions; and iii. Entryways recessed at least four feet (4’). 3) The utilization of repetitive storefronts for “architectural” consistency is discouraged in order to maintain an interesting street experience; although the utilization of common architectural elements shall be considered to facilitate a certain level of functional continuity. c. Building Orientation and Pedestrian Site Design: 1) Any building (excluding parking garages and other accessory buildings) viewed from a public right-of-way or public open space shall either face such right-of-way or open space, or shall have a façade facing such area in keeping with the character of the front façade, including the utilization of similar fenestration and materials. 2) Pedestrian Elements To improve the walkability and access of commercial and retail areas, the following are encouraged in the site design of a project: i. Patio/café seating areas ii. Pedestrian plazas/kiosk areas iii. Drinking fountains iv. Water features with sitting areas v. Bicycle racks vi. Continuous walkways linking stores vii. Shade provided by building orientation, canopies and/or trees viii. Decorative Trash receptacles Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 44 of 72 3) Parking Lot and Building Frontage Landscaping and Design i. A minimum of fifteen (15) square feet of landscaping including tree islands for each parking space shall be provided within the paved boundaries of the parking lot, with the landscaped areas protected by raised curbs except where wheel stops are utilized at the front of parking spaces along a landscaped median between parking bays, and pavement no closer than three feet (3’) from the trunk of trees. ii. Landscaped islands of a minimum of five feet (5’) in width and extending the entire length of the parking stall generally shall be located at the terminus of all parking rows and shall contain at least one three inch (3”) caliper tree consistent with the Tree List in Section VI – Development and Design Standards. iii. Parking spaces shall be a minimum depth of 18 feet and a minimum width of 9 feet; to encourage better shade patterns, parking bays shall be separated by a minimum five foot (5’) wide landscaped median (See illustration below), with three inch (3”) caliper shade trees planted every thirty feet and wheel stops placed so as to allow the front of vehicles to encroach over the landscaped median without hitting the trees. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 45 of 72 iv. Foundation plantings are required for buildings or groups of buildings greater than 40,000 square feet and where the front building facade does not abut a public sidewalk, including a 3.0 inch caliper shade tree for every 10,000 square feet of gross building area consistent with the Tree List above. Small ornamental trees are permitted on a ratio of 4 to 1 instead of 3.0 inch caliper shade trees. This is intended to enhance the pedestrian experience in front of larger buildings and to break up large impervious surfaces between parking areas and the building. Foundation planting trees shall be planted within approximately 30 feet of the front façade and are required in addition to any street trees required herein. Tree grates shall be utilized for trees planted less than four (4) feet back of curb. Tree spacing shall not impede sign visibility or pedestrian safety but shall be placed so as to provide an effective shade environment in front of the building. d. Loading Areas and Trash Receptacles: 1) Loading and service areas shall be located at the side of or in the rear of buildings. Every effort should be made to reduce the need for segregated loading and service areas by ensuring that deliveries are made off-hours. Such uses as grocery stores, however, may require a loading dock area. Where tractor/semi-trailer delivery may conflict with land uses on or adjacent to the site, then the following standards shall be followed: i. Loading and service areas shall be located at the side or rear of buildings. ii. Off-street loading areas shall be screened from view of any street public open space or adjacent property. iii. Loading areas shall be enclosed on three sides by a wall or other screening device not less than 10 feet in height. iv. Loading areas shall not be located closer than 50’ to any single family lot, unless wholly within an enclosed building. Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 46 of 72 v. Screening materials shall be comprised of a wall that has a similar finish to the primary structure, or a combination of trees and shrubs that will result in solid screening within 2 years. vi. However, when adjacent to a residentially zoned district a screening wall with landscaping shall be used. 2. Trash/Recycling Receptacles: i. Commercial trash/recycling containers shall be located on the side or rear of the building and screened from public view. ii. Such containers shall be located at least 50’ away from adjacent residential property lines. iii. Such containers shall be screened on 4 sides, using an enclosure that is 7’ tall or of a height that is a minimum of 1’ above the top of the container, whichever is taller. Screening shall be comprised of brick, stone, reinforced concrete, or other similar masonry materials that have a similar finish to the primary finish; and all fence posts shall be rust- protected metal, concrete based masonry or concrete pillars. iv. 6” concrete filled steel pipes shall be located to protect the enclosure from truck operations. v. Such container enclosures shall have steel gates and tie-backs to secure them in an open position, and fasteners to keep them closed. vi. Screening shall be maintained at all times. e. Signage 1) General: Signs shall be flat against the façade, projecting from the façade or ground monument mounted. No signs shall project above the façade unless approved as part of a site plan as a “landmark sign” such as a theater marquee or other special sign located in an prominent location and Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 47 of 72 intended to provide a special character to the district and orientation to visitors. 2) Lighting: Signs shall generally be externally lit. Only individual letters and symbols may be internally lit. Neon signs shall be prohibited. 3) Finish Materials: Materials shall complement the architecture of the building, and may include wood— painted or natural; metal—copper, brass, galvanized steel; painted canvas; paint; engraving directly on façade surface; and brick or stone for monument signs. 4) Wall Signs: i. One and a half (1.5) square feet of signage is permitted for each linear foot of the primary facade of the building, excluding wing walls. (E.g. a 100’ long building façade would allow for 150 square feet of wall sign area on the building.) ii. Only one building façade with a primary entrance may be used to calculate wall signage. iii. Wall signs may be placed on any face of the building. iv. Maximum area of any single sign mounted perpendicular to a given façade shall not exceed 10 square feet unless it protrudes above the top of the facade. v. Protruding or hanging signs shall maintain a minimum clear height of eight (8) feet above the sidewalk. 5) Monument Signs: i. Monument signs up to eight (8) feet in height are the only permanent freestanding signs allowed. ii. Maximum area of a monument sign shall be 96 square feet per sign face. Monument signs may have only two (2) sign faces. iii. If a Commercial Neighborhood extends over 1000 linear feet, then one monument sign per 500’ of frontage is permitted. (E.g. a site with 1,000’ or more of frontage may have two (2) monument signs, a site with 1,500’ or more may have three (3) signs, etc.). Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Page 48 of 72 iv. The structure of monument signs shall be constructed of materials and colors utilized on the primary building’s façade. v. Monument signs must be spaced a minimum of two hundred fifty feet (250’) apart, unless approved otherwise at Detailed Site Plan. 6) Parking: Retail and office uses shall meet the Town’s parking standards at the time of development.
