While they are not meant to determine exactly how buildings and sites look, they are meant to ensure that future development is in keeping with the quality and character of the community. RATIONALE: The Design Guidelines were developed as a result of both stakeholder interviews and a Joint Plan Commission – City Council Workshop conducted during April 2019. While developers will use the Design Guidelines to guide their initial site and building design, staff will apply them as part of the typical permit review process (building permit, Special Use Permit, Zoning Variance, etc.). The Design Guidelines address three topics for each of the City’s Zoning Districts: site design, landscaping, and building design. The objectives and guidelines for these place-defining elements are meant to reinforce the character of development that exists in Edwardsville. COMPLIANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The Design Guidelines are aligned with the Comprehensive Plan. SUGGESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval. pg.6 AGENDA ORDINANCE NO. __________ AN ORDINANCE AMENDING APPENDIX B (ZONING) OF THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF EDWARDSVILLE ADOPTING DESIGN GUIDELINES WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities of the City of Edwardsville may establish regulations regarding development within the City of Edwardsville; and WHEREAS, Appendix B (Zoning) currently regulates development through bulk, use, and other similar regulations; and WHEREAS, the proposed text amendment adds an appendix to Appendix B (Zoning) to further clarify and provide clear direction for design of development within the City; and WHEREAS, the Plan Commission did hold a properly noticed public hearing on November 16, 2020 and recommended approval of the proposed Design Guidelines at their meeting on December 17, 2020 by a vote of 9 ayes and 0 nays.

So, it follows that City leaders and staff actively work with developers, designers, and community stakeholders to secure quality development and maintain an appealing City; these Design Guidelines are an element of those efforts. The Design Guidelines help define Edwardsville’s vision for development in the City, along with the vision conveyed in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The guidelines do not specify the land use of new development (as zoning does), they communicate the character and quality through which buildings can contribute to Edwardsville’s quality of place. Who are the Design Guidelines For? Future developments, including new residential and commercial subdivisions, as well as individual commercial sites - will be evaluated for consistency with the Design Guidelines. Individual single family homes will not be subject to the guidelines unless they are part of a subdivision that was developed under the Guidelines. The review will occur as part of the administrative review process for building permits, even when no other zoning approvals are required. If a PUD, Special Use or other zoning approval is being considered, the Design Guidelines will be applied as administrative review, and incorporated into the zoning process. Therefore, the guidelines are a useful tool for: 1. The Public: Members of the community who have an interest in its built environment and development decisions within the City. 2. Local Elected and Appointed Officials and City Staff: Officials whose decisions influence the character and quality of the City’s built and natural environments. 3. Business and Property Owners: Those who invest in Edwardsville and support its economic development and resilience. 4. Design + Development Professionals: Persons who help bring life to the City’s vision by designing developments, redevelopments and property improvements. How to Use the Design Guidelines: Design Districts Different Design Guidelines apply in various districts of the City. These areas, Design Districts, each have a different purpose and context in the community and those factors define the design elements most appropriate there. The Design Guidelines for each district will help property owners and designers consider a site’s location, relationship to the surrounding areas, and unique characteristics as they contemplate new developments. Design Guidelines are applied in the following Districts: 1. Downtown Central Business District (B-1) and Downtown Mixed-Use District (MU-1) 2. Commercial/Business District (B-2) 3. Single-Family Residence District (R-1) (New Subdivisions only) Page 1 pg.10 AGENDA 4. Multiple-Family Dwelling District (R-2) 5. Light Manufacturing District (M-1) Design Elements Three Design Elements are applied to each of the Design Districts. These points relate to major components of any development and define the place being created. The objectives to be achieved in applying these elements are described here. A Glossary of terms related to design and design elements can be found at the end of this document. 1.Design Element: Site Planning Site planning addresses the arrangement and design of buildings, accessory structures, parking and drive areas, bicycle and pedestrian mobility, and supporting facilities. Site Planning Design Guidelines help to establish a functional and pleasing environment through a mixture of urban design elements to ensure buildings, paths, roadways, and public spaces are beneficial for all users. Objectives A. Combine and coordinate various site elements. B. Design blocks and multiple building developments logically and efficiently. C. Install screening between uses or activities that may be incompatible (for example some residential and commercial uses). D. Create interactive areas by including outdoor furniture, plazas, pocket parks, wayfinding signage, art, informational kiosks, landscaping, etc. E. Use lighting to assure safety and as an aesthetic design element. F. Provide buffers between properties as needed to mitigate impacts between differing uses. G. Improve developments by considering and prioritizing pedestrian use and mitigating potential impact of vehicles and impervious surfaces. 2.Design Element: Landscaping Plant material enhances a property by creating visual interest, highlighting architecture and site features, offering shade, screening unattractive functions from public view and providing buffers between properties. Objectives A. Use landscape features to create visual interest, break up appearance of blank walls, and enliven unexciting building views. B. Apply vegetation to soften views of and within parking lots and other vehicle areas. C. Complement landscaped areas with streetscape amenities (awnings, bike racks, furniture, art, lighting, signs) D. Employ an environmentally sustainable landscape palette in support of stormwater management practices, as well as more efficient ongoing maintenance. E. Complement and be additive to landscape purpose, applicability, and requirements defined in the City Code. Page 2 pg.11 AGENDA 3.Design Element: Building Design + Form Architectural elements define development through its scale, context, texture, materials, and color. These characteristics articulate the quality and spirit of the space by advancing its overall appearance, relationship to the street and sidewalk, and respect for surrounding structures and activities. Objectives A. Develop attractive new buildings that present a diversity of architectural styles and respect existing character within the Design District. B. Enhance property by highlighting primary site and building features. C. Create a cohesive and pleasant character by mitigating potentially adverse impacts between different uses and establishing logical transitions between buildings. Design Guidelines Design Guidelines provide direction for certain site and building elements that define the quality and character of a development. They are spelled out for each Design District to be applied by owners and designers preparing plans. Design Guidelines are drafted to be intuitive and user-friendly. They address items the City finds important to building design, such as: scale / massing, height, facades, pedestrian interactions, materials, visual relief of blank walls, mechanical screening, etc. Design Guidelines also address site planning factors such as: building orientation, relationship to other site elements, signage, landscaping amenities, pedestrian and vehicle access etc. While the Guidelines address similar topics to City development codes, they are not zoning requirements; if any inconsistency is found between the Guidelines and the Zoning Code, the Zoning Code governs. Example images of suitable conditions are provided for certain Design Elements in each district to help convey desired outcomes. Page 3 pg.12 AGENDA I.

DESIGN DISTRICT: R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT (NEW SUBDIVISIONS) Newer residential subdivisions in Edwardsville generally have been approved as Planned Unit Developments. That process, over time, has established a standard for the character and quality of these new neighborhoods. In forming residential development regulations for the I-55 Corridor Development Code, the City established those standards as a model for new subdivisions; those requirements are incorporated in these Design Guidelines and will be (along with other relevant City development regulations) applied to new single-family subdivisions platted after the date these guidelines are adopted. District Design Objectives 1. Comfortable and walkable residential neighborhoods characterized by single-family detached houses. 2. Inter-connected roadway and trail networks of convenient routes for pedestrians and bicyclists to adjacent neighborhoods, services, and community facilities. 3. Recreational and natural areas included in subdivisions, as well as connections to such passive and active open space and recreation trails. 4. Existing natural settings preserved as part of subdivision designs to enhance the aesthetic value of the neighborhood. 5.

These materials shall be prioritized on the sides of the homes which abut right-of-way and trails. - At least 35 percent of the front of the house must also be comprised of these materials. The "front of the house" is comprised of all exterior surface areas between the outer most, forward corners on each side of the structure. Include 35 percent specific materials. Page 10 pg.19 AGENDA IV. DESIGN DISTRICT: R-2 MULTIPLE – FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT Apartment and townhome developments add to the variety of housing types available in Edwardsville, which is important for all communities and especially university towns. As with new subdivisions, review and approval processes have established a standard for the character and quality of these new neighborhoods. Those standards are reflected in and expanded upon in these Design Guidelines which, along with other relevant City regulations, will be applied to consider approval of new townhome and multiple-family developments. District Design Objectives 1. Townhome and multiple-family developments that provide and maintain a sense of place. 2. Interconnected roadways and paths creating convenient routes for drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists to adjacent residential areas, services, and community facilities. 3.
