    Roofing.

    Styles: (Refer to Exhibit 2)

    Gable; hip; built-up (with detailed parapet, meaning the roofline facing the corridor contains at least three vertical changes), and shed. If parapet is present, it must be finished on all visible sides. If a parapet is used for screening, it must be finished on all sides.

    Materials: Barrel tile (clay or concrete); standing seam metal; concrete tile; slate; copper; wood shingles/shakes; and dimensional asphalt shingles.

    Pitch (other than built-up parapet): No less than 4:12 and no greater than 8:12.

    2.

    Siding. Stucco; keystone (coquina); split face block; wood shingles; lap wood siding; fiber cement siding; white quartz stone; and brick. Architectural insulated metal panel may be approved by the Design Review Board on a case by case basis with the condition that it is of a modular design and appropriate to the scale of the building. Approved siding material is required on all sides of the structure. With the exception of single family homes, a change to the exterior of a building, through new siding, repainting, or similar change, shall require review and approval by DRB.

    3.

    Colors. Color drawings of the building elevations shall be submitted with color chips for all walls, awnings, and accent colors proposed, as part of the site plan submitted for review. Where changing or repainting of an existing structure is proposed, photographs may be submitted in lieu of building elevations. Building materials and color selection shall achieve visual order through the consistent use of compatible color palettes. The color shall complement the design and not be so extreme that the color competes with the building for attention. The use of color to attract attention to a business from a distance is discouraged.

    a.

    Principal: Fluorescent colors are not permitted. There shall be a maximum of one principal color per building. Principal colors shall be selected from the following list from the Munsell Book of Color:
