UPTOWN D2 DISTRICT FORM-BASED CODE <br />604. Roofs and Parapets <br />A. Intent <br />January 26, 2016 <br />Roofs and parapets should demonstrate common-sense recognition of the climate by utilizing <br />appropriate pitch, drainage, and materials in order to provide visual coherence to the district. <br />Roof forms are not interchangeable. The roof type is integral to the design of the building and its <br />architectural character. <br />The slope of a pitched roof is determined by local climatic <br />conditions (such as the ability to shed snow loads) and <br />physical properties of the roofing material. Roof types that <br />have overhanging eaves, such as gabled. or hipped roofs, <br />should be of a dimension suitable for sun shade. <br />Parapets are low guarding walls at the edge of roofs (usually <br />flat) and are formed by extensions of the building FACADES. This <br />type is typically found on mixed use buildings and will likely be <br />the prominent roof found in the downtown. <br />Cornices are crowning (trim) projections on a parapet wall. <br />While the code requires certain horizontal dimensions, these <br />elements should be designed to be appropriate for the style of <br />the building and proportionate for the dimensions of the <br />FACADE. <br />The illustrations and statements on this page are advisory only. <br />Refer to the Code standards on the following page for the <br />specific prescriptions of this section. <br />~,~~ _ ~- <br />.~ r- <br />- l 4 , <br />F~.~ <br />- ~ r ~; ;~ <br />~ , ,' <br />^~ ._ <br /> <br />~ h _ <br />~, <br />rr F <br />l <br />, <br />+µ <br />! -~. `~,~ ~ 4 <br />- q <br />~~ <br />C ^~t ~ ~ ~~ <br /> <br />s <br />~ r <br />~ <br />v .. <br />~ ~ <br />~`. <br /> zf~. c a <br />. <br /> r <br />a <br />M4"w§ <br />~ . <br /> <br /> '2 t:." <br /> ~~" - -::'~j-- <br /> <br />49 <br />
