These elements collectively ensure that the project maintains the high standards set forth by the City, contributing positively to the community's character and environment.
(d) Any potentially significant negative impacts to environmental quality and natural resources have been properly mitigation. For this reason, the proposed project complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Any potentially significant negative impacts to environmental quality and natural resources have been properly mitigated. Comprehensive environmental reviews, including the Addendum to the Villages at Fairfield Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and the Hawthorne Mill EIR, have been conducted in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). These reviews have identified all potential environmental impacts, and appropriate mitigation measures have been incorporated to address issues such as biological resources, cultural resources, geology, and greenhouse gas emissions. These measures ensure that any adverse effects are minimized to a less than significant level, preserving the integrity of the natural environment and maintaining compliance with CEQA standards. As a result, the proposed project adheres to all regulatory requirements, safeguarding environmental quality and promoting sustainable development.
SECTION 5. The commission adopts the following findings in recommending approval of the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change requests:
(a) The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and actions of the General Plan. The proposed General Plan amendment would redesignate a portion of the Project site from Residential-Low Medium density to Residential-High density to accommodate the Project's target densities. The proposed Zone Change will remove the current Industrial Business Park (IBP) and Open Space-Conservation (OSC) designations and replace them with Residential Low Medium (RLM) and Residential High (RH) designations. The proposed residential designations will allow for both a single-family and a multifamily development that complements uses in the vicinity. As proposed and conditioned, the project aligns with the City's General Plan objectives, promoting orderly growth, a variety of housing types, pedestrian-oriented connections, and infrastructure improvements that blend into the area’s natural setting while adhering to fire protection standards and including traffic calming and safe routes to schools initiatives. Furthermore, the Project is consistent with the following General Plan Objectives and Policies: Policy LU-2: Promote a variety of housing types to serve the diverse needs of the community and stimulate investment.
Objective LU-2.2: Variety of Housing Types. Promote the development of a greater variety of housing types and sizes in existing neighborhoods and new focus areas, including single-unit homes on small lots, accessory dwelling units, alley-facing units, town-homes, lofts, live-work spaces, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, bungalow courts,

Lago Vista PC Resolution_FINAL.docx Page: 6 senior housing, and student housing to meet the needs of future demographics and changing household sizes. Objective LU-6.5: Environmental Constraints in Site Design.
Ensure that development is reflective of the area’s environmental constraints— including localized presence of geologic faults, slopes and unstable soils, fire risks, flood hazards—as well as natural resources. Consider incorporating geologic faults and Alquist Priolo Zones as part of the open space or trails system. Objective LU-7.6:
Pedestrian-Oriented Connections. Provide a network of safe, well-maintained, interconnected streets, paseos, pathways, and bicycle routes onsite that facilitates travel through the site for pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-motorized modes of transportation. Link these connections to amenities such as commercial corridors, parks, schools, and public transportation hubs. Policy LU-16: Ensure that new development is designed to optimize Fairfield’s Linear Park, making the park a central feature that enhances quality of life, connectivity, and recreational opportunities for residents. Objective LU-20.6: Fire Protection. Require all development to comply with standards established by the City’s Fire Marshal to ensure fire protection, emergency vehicle accessibility, defensible space, fire-resistant construction, water supply, premises identification, and similar protective purposes. Site plans are required to identify evacuation routes acceptable to the City’s Fire Chief and Traffic Engineer.
Policy TP-1: Ensure that future land uses are compatible with the continued operation and military readiness of TAFB, as well as the health and safety of Fairfield residents in its vicinity. Policy CIR-3: Manage the City’s transportation system to minimize congestion, improve the flow of traffic, improve air quality, and reduce vehicle miles traveled. Objective CIR-7.15: Traffic Calming. Require new development implement traffic calming for new development to improve livability. The traffic calming shall consider only passive or horizontal types like roundabouts, bulbouts, and other similar tools used for best practices. Prohibit vertical traffic calming to support adequate emergency response times for health and safety. Objective PFS-7.7: New Development. Require all new development located within City limits connect to the public water system, construct all potable water lines serving such development, and provide adequate funding for the development’s use of all potable water infrastructure and facilities. Objective PFS-8.4: New Development. Require that all new development located within City limits connect to the public wastewater collection system, construct all sanitary sewer lines serving such development (including oversizing of sewers if requested by the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District or the City, and provide adequate funding for the development’s use of all wastewater infrastructure and facilities. The costs of oversizing shall be borne by the beneficiary of the oversizing.
Objective PFS-10.2: Collection and Recycling Services. Ensure the continued provision of adequate solid waste collection and recycling services in Fairfield. Implement programs within the Source Reduction and Recycling Element (not a General Plan element) which promote source reduction, recycling, and composting as ways of reducing waste and increasing landfill capacity. Objective OSCR-3.2: Open Space Management. Manage natural open space lands and embrace public access, where feasible, in a manner consistent with wildlife protection, habitat preservation, and fire prevention. Objective OSCR-3.5: Protection of Biological Resources with New

Objective OSCR-6.12: Other Needed Parks. Prioritize the development of other community and neighborhood park facilities to ensure that adequate open space is available to serve the needs of new residents with each phase of residential construction. Explore potential locations for a new community park in Fairfield as part of the next update of the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan update.
Objective HS-4.2: Flood Plain Regulations. Require development within flood plain areas as shown in Figure 8-5 to comply with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regulations by providing adequate flood mitigation and financial protection in the event of flooding. Continue to update FEMA flood control studies based upon development and ongoing improvements.
(b) The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The proposed amendments would redesignate 37.3 of vacant land for 151 single-family and 224 multifamily residential units, expanding the existing Villages at Fairield master plan. The addition of more residential land will not jeopardize public interest, health, safety, convenience, or the welfare of the City in that the planned development will be subject to a collection of conditions of approval to ensure its safe and orderly development and operation.
Future access to the site is provided via High Line Drive and Golden Way. Additionally, there are two proposed emergency vehicle access (EVA) points connecting to Portland Drive and Airbase Parkway on the north and south portions of the site, respectively. (c) The site is physically suitable (including, but not limited to access, provision of utilities, compatibility with adjoining land uses, and absence of physical constraints) for the requested zoning designations and anticipated land uses/developments. The Project site is physically suitable for residential development in that it is sited adjacent to and surrounded by residential development. Furthermore, the site has been thoroughly evaluated and found to have a topography conducive to residential development. The relatively level terrain requires minimal grading, thereby reducing the impact on the natural landscape, making it ideal for both single-family and multi-family residential units. The site is well-served by existing infrastructure and utilities, including water, sewer, electricity, and road networks, which can support the increased demand generated by the new development, ensuring that residents will have access to essential services.
(d) The proposed amendment is in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). An Addendum to the previously certified Villages at Fairfield EIR and Hawthorne Mill EIR has been prepared for the Project, as permitted under CEQA. The Addendum determined that all potential environmental impacts associated with the Project were previously analyzed in the certified EIRs. No new significant impacts have been identified; therefore, no further environmental review is required.

The commission has reviewed the Addendum (ER2025-004) to the Villages at Fairfield Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (State Clearinghouse Number: 2004032064) and the Hawthorne Mill Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse Number: 2009032001) for the Project and all comments received, and have determined that the following findings support the adoption of the EIR Addendum, to wit:
(a) Based on the whole record before it, the Commission hereby finds and determines that the proposed project, including the addition of 37.2 acres to the Villages at Fairfield, re-allocation of 295 residential units from Villages I and II, and the addition of 81 residential units, will not result in new significant adverse impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. The 2025 Addendum appropriately incorporates all relevant mitigation measures from the Villages at Fairfield EIR and Hawthorne Mill EIR to mitigate previously identified impacts to a less than significant level consistent with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15164. Therefore, the existing EIRs, along with the Addendum, adequately address the potential environmental impacts of the Lago Vista project, and no further environmental review is required.

Trash Enclosure and Recycling:
113. The location of trash enclosures shall be shown on the “Independence in Fairfield” plans, dated June 23, 2025. Based on the proposed building footprints and size, the developer shall install a trash enclosure in accordance with current City Trash, Recycling, and Organics Enclosure guidelines, with a minimum footprint of 40’ x 16'. 114. The developer shall construct a concrete slab extending 10 feet in front of the enclosure, with a minimum of 6 inches of reinforced concrete over 6 inches of Class II aggregate base, compacted to 95%. Trash enclosures shall have roofs and drains connected to the sanitary sewer. The enclosure must meet all CalGreen, CalRecycle, and City requirements and checklists, and shall be locked. The developer shall collaborate with Public Works staff to optimize the enclosure’s orientation for vehicle pickup. Contact Corey Beavers in the Public Works Department at (707) 428-7528 for more details. 115. Pursuant to California’s goal to reduce statewide greenhouse gases, short-lived climate pollutants, and landfill disposal of organics and recyclables, the project’s tenants must comply with State mandates for mandatory commercial recycling (AB 341) and organic recycling (AB 1826). As of September 2020, CalRecycle requires businesses generating two or more cubic yards of waste, recyclables, and organics weekly to subscribe to mandatory organics recycling. Chapter 9 of the Fairfield Municipal Code mandates that all businesses subscribe to solid waste, recycling, and organic recycling services. The State aims to reduce organic waste by 75% by 2025 (SB 1383). Failure to meet these goals may result in penalties for noncompliance. Businesses are strongly encouraged to coordinate with the City’s franchised hauler, Republic Services, to ensure all mandatory recycling requirements are met.

Subject: Lago Vista (Villages at Fairfield)
Dear Ms. Sheehan,
We are in receipt of the proposed project referenced above. The parcels (APNs: 0170-050- 540 and 0170-050-550) associated with the subject project are not within the Solano Irrigation District (SID) and are not entitled to receive SID water. The following are the requirements of SID for the development of this property:
1. Improvement plans must show all existing facilities located within the project site.
2. The Putah South Canal spills water into the McCoy Bypass, an SID drain, which runs east of APN 0170-050-540. Existing spill structures will need to remain.
3. All proposed new storm drain facilities must connect to the City of Fairfield’s storm drain system.
4. The District has an easement for the McCoy Creek Bypass Irrigation Canal and access road that borders the entire east side of the development and west side of the United States Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Solano Project McCoy Basin property. Any work on, adjacent to, or impacting the facility must be reviewed and approved by the District. Since this is an irrigation canal and could be full of water which could pose a public hazard to the adjacent residential subdivision, the District will require the installation of chain link security fence along the western edge of the easement boundary to prohibit public access. The fence must be chain link, per District Standards, at the developer’s expense. We will also require access be provided and maintained from the proposed development to our facility.

5. The project is on the west side of the United States Department of Interior Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Solano Project McCoy Basin property. This property is owned by the USBR and operated/maintained by the District on behalf of the Solano County Water Agency (SCWA).
• The USBR also requires the installation of chain link security fence along the western edge of the easement boundary to prohibit public access. The fence must be chain link, per District Standards, at the developer’s expense. It is possible that the location of fencing of the District easement could serve to protect the Basin on the west side. This proposition would need to be reviewed and approved by both agencies.
• The USBR has concerns about the drainage from any proposed subdivision or development that would outlet onto the McCoy Basin property. Any drainage systems proposed to ultimately outlet to the McCoy Basin must be reviewed and approved by the USBR. The developer and/or City will be responsible for coordinating with the Bureau on whatever measures may be required. • The USBR acquired flood easements around the McCoy Basin since it is used as an emergency release for the Solano Project Putah South Canal. The surrounding lands have the potential to flood, as per the original purpose for which the USBR acquired these lands and rights-of-way.
• The USBR has an access easement along the west side of the basin on the subject property. Access to their right-of-way must also be maintained. • Developer/City must obtain any USBR and SCWA approvals necessary prior to moving forward with the proposed development. Contact SCWA Engineering Manager Deborah Barr at [email protected] to coordinate review. Contact USBR at 7794 Folsom Dam Road, Folsom, CA 95630.
6. We require that the District’s Certificates be added to the Parcel/Final Maps, and that the District review, approve and sign all Improvement Plans and Final and/or Parcel Maps.
7. The District will require the Developer to enter into a Development Work Order to cover all costs associated with project plan review and coordination including USBR, SCWA, or any other costs associated with the proposed development. This Work Order must be signed and a monetary deposit must be submitted to the District prior to the District reviewing and approving the maps and/or improvement plans.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions, please contact me at (707) 455-4044 or via email at [email protected].

Attachment 1 – Gas Facilities
There could be gas transmission pipelines in this area which would be considered critical facilities for PG&E and a high priority subsurface installation under California law. Care must be taken to ensure safety and accessibility. So, please ensure that if PG&E approves work near gas transmission pipelines it is done in adherence with the below stipulations. Additionally, the following link provides additional information regarding legal requirements under California excavation laws: https://www.usanorth811.org/images/pdfs/CA-LAW-2018.pdf
1. Standby Inspection: A PG&E Gas Transmission Standby Inspector must be present during any demolition or construction activity that comes within 10 feet of the gas pipeline. This includes all grading, trenching, substructure depth verifications (potholes), asphalt or concrete demolition/removal, removal of trees, signs, light poles, etc. This inspection can be coordinated through the Underground Service Alert (USA) service at 811. A minimum notice of 48 hours is required. Ensure the USA markings and notifications are maintained throughout the duration of your work.
2. Access: At any time, PG&E may need to access, excavate, and perform work on the gas pipeline. Any construction equipment, materials, or spoils may need to be removed upon notice.
Any temporary construction fencing installed within PG&E’s easement would also need to be capable of being removed at any time upon notice. Any plans to cut temporary slopes exceeding a 1:4 grade within 10 feet of a gas transmission pipeline need to be approved by PG&E Pipeline Services in writing PRIOR to performing the work.
3. Wheel Loads: To prevent damage to the buried gas pipeline, there are weight limits that must be enforced whenever any equipment gets within 10 feet of traversing the pipe.
Ensure a list of the axle weights of all equipment being used is available for PG&E’s Standby Inspector. To confirm the depth of cover, the pipeline may need to be potholed by hand in a few areas.
Due to the complex variability of tracked equipment, vibratory compaction equipment, and cranes, PG&E must evaluate those items on a case-by-case basis prior to use over the gas pipeline (provide a list of any proposed equipment of this type noting model numbers and specific attachments).
No equipment may be set up over the gas pipeline while operating. Ensure crane outriggers are at least 10 feet from the centerline of the gas pipeline. Transport trucks must not be parked over the gas pipeline while being loaded or unloaded.
4. Grading: PG&E requires a minimum of 36 inches of cover over gas pipelines (or existing grade if less) and a maximum of 7 feet of cover at all locations. The graded surface cannot exceed a cross slope of 1:4.
5. Excavating: Any digging within 2 feet of a gas pipeline must be dug by hand. Note that while the minimum clearance is only 24 inches, any excavation work within 24 inches of the edge of a pipeline must be done with hand tools. So to avoid having to dig a trench entirely with hand tools, the edge of the trench must be over 24 inches away. (Doing the math for a 24 inch
EXHIBIT A
PG&E Gas and Electric Facilities Page 4
Internal
wide trench being dug along a 36 inch pipeline, the centerline of the trench would need to be at least 54 inches [24/2 + 24 + 36/2 = 54] away, or be entirely dug by hand.) Water jetting to assist vacuum excavating must be limited to 1000 psig and directed at a 40° angle to the pipe. All pile driving must be kept a minimum of 3 feet away.
Any plans to expose and support a PG&E gas transmission pipeline across an open excavation need to be approved by PG&E Pipeline Services in writing PRIOR to performing the work.
6. Boring/Trenchless Installations: PG&E Pipeline Services must review and approve all plans to bore across or parallel to (within 10 feet) a gas transmission pipeline. There are stringent criteria to pothole the gas transmission facility at regular intervals for all parallel bore installations.
For bore paths that cross gas transmission pipelines perpendicularly, the pipeline must be potholed a minimum of 2 feet in the horizontal direction of the bore path and a minimum of 24 inches in the vertical direction from the bottom of the pipe with minimum clearances measured from the edge of the pipe in both directions. Standby personnel must watch the locator trace (and every ream pass) the path of the bore as it approaches the pipeline and visually monitor the pothole (with the exposed transmission pipe) as the bore traverses the pipeline to ensure adequate clearance with the pipeline. The pothole width must account for the inaccuracy of the locating equipment.
7. Substructures: All utility crossings of a gas pipeline should be made as close to perpendicular as feasible (90° +/- 15°). All utility lines crossing the gas pipeline must have a minimum of 24 inches of separation from the gas pipeline. Parallel utilities, pole bases, water line ‘kicker blocks’, storm drain inlets, water meters, valves, back pressure devices or other utility substructures are not allowed in the PG&E gas pipeline easement.
If previously retired PG&E facilities are in conflict with proposed substructures, PG&E must verify they are safe prior to removal. This includes verification testing of the contents of the facilities, as well as environmental testing of the coating and internal surfaces. Timelines for PG&E completion of this verification will vary depending on the type and location of facilities in conflict.
8. Structures: No structures are to be built within the PG&E gas pipeline easement. This includes buildings, retaining walls, fences, decks, patios, carports, septic tanks, storage sheds, tanks, loading ramps, or any structure that could limit PG&E’s ability to access its facilities.
9. Fencing: Permanent fencing is not allowed within PG&E easements except for perpendicular crossings which must include a 16 foot wide gate for vehicular access. Gates will be secured with PG&E corporation locks.
10. Landscaping: Landscaping must be designed to allow PG&E to access the pipeline for maintenance and not interfere with pipeline coatings or other cathodic protection systems. No trees, shrubs, brush, vines, and other vegetation may be planted within the easement area.
Only those plants, ground covers, grasses, flowers, and low-growing plants that grow unsupported to a maximum of four feet (4’) in height at maturity may be planted within the easement area.
EXHIBIT A
PG&E Gas and Electric Facilities Page 5
Internal
11. Cathodic Protection: PG&E pipelines are protected from corrosion with an “Impressed Current” cathodic protection system. Any proposed facilities, such as metal conduit, pipes, service lines, ground rods, anodes, wires, etc. that might affect the pipeline cathodic protection system must be reviewed and approved by PG&E Corrosion Engineering.
12. Pipeline Marker Signs: PG&E needs to maintain pipeline marker signs for gas transmission pipelines in order to ensure public awareness of the presence of the pipelines.
With prior written approval from PG&E Pipeline Services, an existing PG&E pipeline marker sign that is in direct conflict with proposed developments may be temporarily relocated to accommodate construction work. The pipeline marker must be moved back once construction is complete.
13. PG&E is also the provider of distribution facilities throughout many of the areas within the state of California. Therefore, any plans that impact PG&E’s facilities must be reviewed and approved by PG&E to ensure that no impact occurs which may endanger the safe operation of its facilities.

Attachment 2 – Electric Facilities
It is PG&E’s policy to permit certain uses on a case by case basis within its electric transmission fee strip(s) and/or easement(s) provided such uses and manner in which they are exercised, will not interfere with PG&E’s rights or endanger its facilities. Some examples/restrictions are as follows:
1. Buildings and Other Structures: No buildings or other structures including the foot print and eave of any buildings, swimming pools, wells or similar structures will be permitted within fee strip(s) and/or easement(s) areas. PG&E’s transmission easement shall be designated on subdivision/parcel maps as “RESTRICTED USE AREA – NO BUILDING.”
2. Grading: Cuts, trenches or excavations may not be made within 25 feet of our towers.
Developers must submit grading plans and site development plans (including geotechnical reports if applicable), signed and dated, for PG&E’s review. PG&E engineers must review grade changes in the vicinity of our towers. No fills will be allowed which would impair ground-toconductor clearances. Towers shall not be left on mounds without adequate road access to base of tower or structure.
3. Fences: Walls, fences, and other structures must be installed at locations that do not affect the safe operation of PG&’s facilities. Heavy equipment access to our facilities must be maintained at all times. Metal fences are to be grounded to PG&E specifications. No wall, fence or other like structure is to be installed within 10 feet of tower footings and unrestricted access must be maintained from a tower structure to the nearest street. Walls, fences and other structures proposed along or within the fee strip(s) and/or easement(s) will require PG&E review; submit plans to PG&E Centralized Review Team for review and comment.
4. Landscaping: Vegetation may be allowed; subject to review of plans. On overhead electric transmission fee strip(s) and/or easement(s), plant only low-growing shrubs under the wire zone and only grasses within the area directly below the tower. Along the border of the transmission line right-of-way, plant only small trees no taller than 10 feet in height at maturity. PG&E must have access to its facilities at all times, including access by heavy equipment. No planting is to occur within the footprint of the tower legs. Greenbelts are encouraged.
5. Reservoirs, Sumps, Drainage Basins, and Ponds: Prohibited within PG&E’s fee strip(s) and/or easement(s) for electric transmission lines.
6. Automobile Parking: Short term parking of movable passenger vehicles and light trucks (pickups, vans, etc.) is allowed. The lighting within these parking areas will need to be reviewed by PG&E; approval will be on a case by case basis. Heavy equipment access to PG&E facilities is to be maintained at all times. Parking is to clear PG&E structures by at least 10 feet.
Protection of PG&E facilities from vehicular traffic is to be provided at developer’s expense AND to PG&E specifications. Blocked-up vehicles are not allowed. Carports, canopies, or awnings are not allowed.
7. Storage of Flammable, Explosive or Corrosive Materials: There shall be no storage of fuel or combustibles and no fueling of vehicles within PG&E’s easement. No trash bins or incinerators are allowed.

Subject: Villages at Fairfield, Lago Vista
Dear Mr. Lei,
The purpose of this letter is to provide the City of Fairfield (City) the Solano County Water Agency's (Water Agency) initial comments and concerns related to the City's Villages at Fairfield Lago Vista Project Plans (plans)).
As you may know, this project is located downstream of the Putah South Canal (PSC) via the McCoy Spillway (Spillway). The PSC is owned by the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and locally maintained by the Water Agency. Our Comments and concerns are as follows:
L. McCoy Basin - The Water Agency is concerned with the development's proximity to the McCoy Basin. The McCoy basin receives water from the PSC in an emergency and must be able to accept approximately 100 acre-feet of water. Water from the PSC will travel south via the Spillway past Cement Hill Road and Strassberger Drive.
2. Fencing - The Water Agency recognizes that APNs 0170-050-540 and 0170-050-550 are owned by the developer and that buildout is proposed on APN 0170-050-540. The proposed fencing from the "Preliminary Grading and Utility Plan" (Plans) shows a sidewalk with tube steel fence on the property line and boundary line. Follow up is requested by Water Agency as this may not be adequate to limit trespass to the McCoy Basin. Water Agency preference would be for barbed wire cyclone fence that is standard on the PSC (see attached) with specific alignment to be determined after a follow up meeting.

Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 1
1 Introduction These Guidelines address the design of the Villages at Fairfield (“VAF”), a new development on 451 acres in the northeast portion of the city of Fairfield. The development plan includes 2,196 dwelling units in five distinct villages located along a major linear park and Manuel Campos Parkway. The Guidelines focus on the streets and open spaces that form the framework of the community and on single-family dwellings and medium density dwellings that are the primary uses.
1.1 Purpose The purpose of the Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines ("Guidelines") is to give homeowners, homebuilders and their representative design teams, a framework for the creation of a residential community that reflects the quality envisioned by the City of Fairfield ("City") and Lewis Planned Communities (Master Developer).
These Guidelines seek to ensure that Villages at Fairfield stands out as a thoughtfully planned community.
The Guidelines allow for innovative and creative design that establishes a theme within each residential village, and collectively establishes a distinctive, attractive, and desirable neighborhood within the city.
These Guidelines shall be utilized by the Master Developer in preparing the major street amenities (the streetscape) and the common area amenities; and utilized by the homebuilders, and/or individual homeowner in preparing building plans, site plans, lot layouts, front yard landscaping and irrigation plans.
Interpretation of the Guidelines and City Regulations
These Guidelines are in substantial accordance with the City of Fairfield development regulations, which includes the City Design and Development Guidelines, Zoning Ordinance (Municipal Code, Chapter 25), and the City General Development Regulations (Municipal Code, Section 25.30), and 2014 Standard Specifications and Details. Applicants for development approval shall review and address these and all other applicable City standards and requirements in proposed projects in this plan area. The final design (including floor plans, elevations, landscape plans, parking, fire suppression and solid waste plans) must be consistent with the approved zoning and tentative subdivision map for the Project. Such plans shall be subject to the review and approval by the applicable City departments prior to the commencement of development and/or issuance of building permits. These Guidelines will control any conflicts that may arise between these Guidelines and the City's regulations.
1.2 Organization of These Guidelines This document is provided as a guide to the Master Developer, home builder, individuals, and the City through the full community development process. The Guidelines progress from the general design concepts through the framework of land use allocation and the street and pedestrian networks, to the design of streetscapes and landscaping along the public streets, to the landscaping in private residential yards, and finally, to the architecture of individual buildings. Figure 1: Location Map
Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 2
2 Application and Design Review Processes A builder must complete two sequential processes in order to build a home in Villages at Fairfield. The first process is the Villages at Fairfield Design Review Committee (DRC) submittal. The second is the City of Fairfield Development Review process. It is anticipated that the DRC approval will precede submittal of documents to the City of Fairfield for the City’s review. These guidelines establish the submittal and processing requirements for both the Architectural Design and Landscape Plan. The Architectural Design and the Landscape Plan may be submitted and processed separately, but may also be processed simultaneously. The same submittal items are required for both the DRC and the City processes in order to eliminate duplicate or conflicting submission requirements. The objective is to make every submittal for the design review reusable in the City’s application process. The following are the necessary steps in each process. 2.1 Design Review Committee (DRC) Lewis Planned Communities ("Master Developer"), established the Design Review Committee (DRC), in part, to review the building plans, site plans, lot layouts, and landscape plans submitted by each homebuilder or homeowner, and has the authority to approve or disapprove the plans.
The DRC may consider special circumstances that will not permit a certain individual residence to comply with all the requirements of the Guidelines. In such cases, the DRC will review the design on a case-by-case basis to achieve the purpose of these Guidelines to the greatest reasonable extent, as determined by the DRC. The DRC will consist of three (3) members appointed by Lewis Planned Communities. The Master Developer may appoint new members and replace existing members at any time.
2.2 Design Review Process and Submittal Requirements
Architectural design review includes a review of the building plans for conformity with architectural expression and detailing, building placement, street and block face appearance and variety, and success in achieving an architectural style in the context of production building.

The project involved amendments of the City General Plan, General Plan Land Use Diagram and Zoning Ordinance approved by the City of Fairfield in 2005 and later amended in 2016.
Design Review Committee Process
Step One. Pre-Submittal Meeting. In that the primary purpose of the meeting is to provide the builder with an understanding of the expectations of the DRC, it is not necessary for the builder to submit any drawings, plans, lot plots or similar information prior to or at the meeting. However, the DRC encourages builders to provide lot layouts, and plans and elevations of product for, or similar to, that proposed for the site. The DRC will not provide any formal (written) feedback to the builder. Step Two. Project Submittal. Builder submittals will be required as described in Section 2.2.3 Submittal Requirements, below. The DRC will have 10 working days from receipt of the submittal to determine the extent plans are in conformance with the Design Guidelines. The DRC will provide the determination to the builder in writing. The DRC will make findings of conformance, minor non-conformance or significant non-conformance with respect to all or individual elements of the plans. Elements found to be significantly non-conforming will require modification of plans and resubmittal for additional review before plans may be submitted to the City of Fairfield. Elements found to be non-conforming in a minor way will require modification of plans and resubmittal for additional review at the time construction drawings are completed. Step Three. Resubmittal. For plans found to have one or more significant variations from the Design Guidelines, additional submittal(s) are required. Within five working days of resubmittal of the plans to the DRC, the DRC shall inform the builder, in writing, that the plans are acceptable or unacceptable. For resubmitted plans the DRC determines to be acceptable, or acceptable with minor adjustments, the DRC will provide the builder with a final written determination, copied to the City, within one working day of completion of the resubmittal review and determination of approval. Plans the DRC determines to be unacceptable shall be resubmitted to the DRC and shall be processed in the same manner provided in this section. Step Four. Landscape Plan Review and Determination. Builder submittals will be required for landscape plans as described in Section 2.2.4 Submittal Requirements below and will conform to the Landscape Documentation Package as specified in Section 22.A.4 (City of Fairfield Municipal Code). The DRC will have 10 working days from receipt of the submittal to determine the extent plans are in conformance with the Design Guidelines. At the applicant’s discretion, the Landscape Plan Review and Approval may occur as a separate step subsequent to, or concurrent with, the architectural design review. If the review steps are concurrent then the time for DRC review is additive that is, DRC will have 10 working days for the architectural review, and 10 working days for the landscape design review.
Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 3
The DRC will provide the determination to the builder in writing. The DRC will make findings of conformance, minor non-conformance or significant non-conformance with respect to all or individual elements of the plans. Elements found to be significantly non-conforming will require modification of plans and resubmittal for additional review before plans may be submitted to the City of Fairfield. Elements found to be nonconforming in a minor way will require modification of plans and resubmittal for additional review at the time construction drawings are completed. Step Five. Construction Drawing Submittal. At the time of submittal of the plans for building permit approval the builder shall also submit plans to the DRC. The DRC review will review the plans to make certain that all minor elements have been revised and to assure that the plans otherwise conform to the submittal approved by the DRC. The construction drawing review shall occur within 10 working days of receipt of the construction plans. The DRC shall inform the builder that the plans are acceptable and issue a final written determination with a copy to the City within one working day of determination of approval.
City of Fairfield Process
The City of Fairfield will not accept plans for review and approval prior to receipt of a written determination by the DRC.
Step One. Development Review.
• Minor Development review applies to homes within a subdivision of one to ten dwelling units or with lots that have a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet or greater. • Development Review will apply to all homes on lots less than a minimum of 5,000 square feet.
Both reviews require public notice. The review and approval authority for Minor Development review shall be the City Staff. The review and approval authority for Development Review requests shall be the City Planning Commission. The City of Fairfield will decide when to require either a Minor Development Review or a Development Review.
Step Two. Construction Drawing Submittal.
Construction drawings submitted for obtaining a building permit will not be accepted by the City of Fairfield unless accompanied by a written determination that the plans conform to the DRC written approval of the construction drawings. Submittals for Design Review Committee approval shall include the following elements:
a. Subdivision Map with Homes plotted on each lot. Scale as appropriate within the range of 1 inch = 10 feet to 1 inch equals 60 feet.
b. Individual Lot Plotting Plan. Scale as appropriate within the range of 1-inch equals 10 feet to 1- inch equals 20 feet.
c. Exterior Elevations – all four sides. Provide annotations for all exterior materials and height above grade. All elevations at ¼ inch equals 1-foot scale. d. Roof Plans. Identify roof slopes. All roof plans at ¼ inch to 1-foot scale. e. Materials Sample Board (11 x 17). Provide actual samples of all proposed exterior materials and colors.
Three full size sets of these plans shall be required for a Step Two submission to the DRC and for either a Minor or Development Review by the City of Fairfield.
Step Three. Building Permit approval.
A building permit may only be issued subsequent to staff review of plans and staff determination that the plans conform to the Minor Development Review approved by staff or the Development Review approved by the Planning Commission.
Landscape Design Review Submittal Requirements
The City of Fairfield Municipal Code Chapter 22 Water Efficient Landscaping shall apply to all developerinstalled landscaping in single-family and multifamily residential projects, including street corridors and private yards in the Villages at Fairfield.
Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 4
Homeowner-provided landscaping at single-family and multi-family projects are subject to the standards in Chapter 22 but are not required to submit a Landscape Documentation Package as required in Section 22.A.4. The DRC shall review and approve each plan prior to commencing construction of production landscapes in accordance with the procedures as outlined herein. These Guidelines strongly recommend that a DRC representative review the plant material layout with the contractor prior to installation in order to minimize changes at the time of final acceptance. 3 Project Description 3.1 The Project Setting
The Villages at Fairfield is located on approximately 451 acres in the northeastern area of the City, to the south of Cement Hill and the Putah South Canal, north of Air Base Parkway, east of the Woodlake Estates residential development and west of the Gold Ridge residential development. (Refer to Figure 2). The site consists of mostly flat to slightly undulating terrain that was used for cattle grazing, crop production, orchards, and cement operations in the past. 3.2 Plan Summary Land Use Plan
Figure 3 illustrates the land use zoning designations, and Figure 4 illustrates the detailed land plan. The project includes five separate development elements. Village I is located at the southeast corner of Clay Bank Road and the Manuel Campos Parkway. Village II is located south of Village I on the south side of the existing Linear Park. Lago Vista is located along the eastern boundary of Village II and north of Air Base Parkway. Village III is located north of Cement Hill Road to the west of the Gold Ridge development.

3.3 Parks and Open Space
Park and Open Space Master Plan
Figure 5 illustrates the combined parks and open space plan. Villages at Fairfield will provide two neighborhood parks, a pocket park (Lot A Village II) and a linear park, as well as open space/wetlands preserve and mitigation areas distribution throughout the plan. All park designs illustrated in Figures 7 through 12 are conceptual and intended to demonstrate feasibility of the park facilities program. Specific park designs, including trail locations and connections, will be developed, and approved by the City, concurrent with the appropriate subdivision final map approval. Parks, open spaces, and linear parks shall comply with State of California Executive Order B-24-15. The use of ornamental turf shall be limited to playfields and rest areas immediately around amenities. The Parks and Open Space Master Plan for Villages at Fairfield contributes to the Safe Routes to School initiative by providing a linear park that students can use to travel from the plan area to existing schools located west of the plan area (Figure 6). The Lago Vista neighborhood contributes to the linear park system with a north-south trail that extends from the northern portion of the neighborhood towards the linear park that bisects the entire Villages at Fairfield plan area. The City’s LED lighting program shall be used in all parks and linear parks. Walls and fences within and adjacent to parks shall be located, and the appropriate fence type used, as illustrated in Figures 57 and 58.

4 Streets The street network includes four distinct street types that provide a functional hierarchy defined by street width, number of lanes, separated sidewalks, landscaped parkway strips, landscaped building setbacks, medians, bikeways, and on-street parking. However, individual conditions along many of the streets will require a distinct street section that varies slightly from the primary standard. Figure 14 illustrates the location and identification keys of each street type in Villages I, II, Lago Vista, and Laurel Creek Plaza. Figure 15 illustrates the location and identification key of each street type in Villages III and IV. Figures 16 through 57 illustrate the cross section and dimensions of each street type and the variations at specific locations throughout the plan. 4.1 Street Definitions and Hierarchy Arterial Streets
Arterial streets are the major thoroughfares for the Villages at Fairfield, and serve the City of Fairfield and Solano County. The Fairfield General Plan defines Arterial Streets as a street designed to primarily serve intra-urban travel, carrying traffic from collector level streets to and from other parts of the City. Access to abutting property is subordinate to the primary function of moving traffic between neighborhoods. Improvements to Manuel Campos Parkway include four traffic lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, landscape strips, and a double row of street trees. In addition, a portion of Manuel Campos Parkway corridor will include a 9’ wide pedestrian link in the City’s comprehensive, citywide trail system. Generally, Clay Bank Road includes a landscaped median, a parkway strip, sidewalk, a planting strip containing shrub massing, and vines against a CMU wall or tubular steel fence.
Community Collector Streets
The General Plan defines a collector street as designed to serve neighborhood traffic, providing links between local streets and arterials, and access to abutting property. Community collector streets specifically serve to connect arterial streets with individual neighborhoods.
The plan includes Portland Drive and Waters Road Extension as community collectors in the Villages at Fairfield that will connect to Manuel Campos Parkway. The typical community collector provides a landscaped median, bike lane, parkway strip, sidewalk, and landscaped corridor. The landscaping will include shrub massing, street trees, and screen trees. Variations in overall right-of-way occur with specific conditions.
Residential Collector Street
Residential collector streets generally front residential uses and provide connections between community collector streets, arterial streets, and residential streets. Residential collectors do not typically require walls and provide front-on access with separated sidewalks and landscape strips. These streets may also provide front-on access for multi-family properties, parks, and open space. Each provides on-street parking, a parkway, street trees, and a 4.5 or 6-foot wide sidewalk.
Residential Streets
Residential streets serve individual residential parcels and generally have either a 50-foot or a 58-foot wide right-of-way and have either separated sidewalks with landscape strips, or sidewalks integrated with the curb. Street tree plantings shall occur either in landscape strips, or in front yards within 5-feet of the sidewalk.
Traffic Calming Measures
Traffic calming measures are street improvements designed to slow traffic and facilitate pedestrian crossings, thereby enhancing pedestrian safety and walkability in the plan. Such improvements may include traffic circles or roundabouts, intersection bulb-outs, and speed tables, among other designs. The plan indicates a potential location of a traffic circle at the intersection of Walters Road and Huck Road (see Figure 15). This, and other potential traffic calming features, may be included in the design of future subdivision maps in this plan.

4.2 Street Corridor Landscape
The major streets corridors and common areas landscapes establish the identity and character of the Villages at Fairfield. The streetscape will complement the adjacent streets and subdivisions with similar wall and landscaping features, but will reflect the need to conserve water with informal shrub and groundcover comprised primarily of drought tolerant plants. The landscape corridors include a uniformly spaced tree line along the street with less formal clusters of secondary accent trees that mark gateways and project edges. The street landscape will merge with adjacent preserved open space and wetlands that help define the character of the community. The landscape theme will vary among the different street types and widths to take into account the hierarchy of street types and the integration of pedestrian, non-vehicular, and vehicular connections. Plant material shall be arranged in a tiered fashion to create depth, with layers of overhead tree canopies, shrub plantings at building walls, property lines and fences and low shrubs and groundcovers in foregrounds. Figures 15 through 56 illustrate the width of the landscape corridors, sidewalks, and placement of street trees within each of the street conditions planned in the community. These Guidelines do not specify certain tree or shrub species assigned to specific streets. The selection of street trees, subordinate and accent trees, shrubs and groundcovers will be specified in the Landscape Documentation Package as required in the Municipal Code Section 22.A.4. Appendix A Plant Palette includes a list of trees species, shrubs and groundcovers that can be applied to appropriate locations determined by the character and size (width) of all streets. Appendix A also specifies a separate plant list of native, and native compatible, species for use in the open space, and along open space edges.
General Street Tree Planting Standards
The builder/developer shall install landscaping/ irrigation between sidewalk and private fence. The builder/developer shall coordinate with the City to provide a 10’ public landscape easement as necessary so that a Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District may maintain lots whose side or rear lot lines are along an arterial or collector road.
• The street tree theme shall provide a mix of species on streets and blocks. • All street trees shall be a minimum of 24-inch box size. • All street trees shall be planted a minimum of four feet (4’) from the back of walk but no greater than eight feet (8’) from back of walk.
• If the designated street tree is an evergreen species, subordinate, and accent trees shall be a mixture of 33% evergreen and 66% deciduous species. If the designated street tree is deciduous, then subordinate, and accent trees shall be 66% evergreen and 33% deciduous species. • Special attention shall be required in the design of the planting plan to:
o Preserve or frame desirable vistas or views of the existing landscape drainage channel and linear park.
o Screen or soften undesirable views of exposed residential backyards, retaining walls, cut / fill slopes and/or utility equipment. Evergreen trees are required in these locations. • Street trees shall be planted at a uniform depth relative to the curb to ensure a uniform look. • Clustering trees near property lines is preferred. However, no trees shall be planted directly on property lines.
Accent Tree, Shrub and Groundcover Plant Material Guidelines • Plant material species shall be selected from the plant material palette provided in Appendix A. • A minimum of 50% of the total quantity of shrubs shall be five (5) gallon size. • No more than 25% of any landscape area shall be composed of deciduous shrubs. • Shrub plant material shall be placed in informal masses and/or clustered arrangements. Groups of three to five shrubs of the same type shall be placed adjacent to each other. • Groundcovers shall be from either one (1) gallon, liners or flats installed in a triangular pattern with appropriate on-center spacing as detailed in the plant list contained herein. • When developing a shrub and groundcover planting design, a layered, tiered arrangement is required: foreground groundcover (6”-12” high), in front of a small shrub (1’-3’ high), followed by a medium shrub (3’-4’ high), or backed by a tall shrub (5’-6’ high).
Lawn Areas
Lawn areas (turf) shall comply with Section 22.A.5(12) (Fairfield Municipal Code) and the following guidelines. • Lawn areas shall not exceed 25% of the total landscape area, and generally shall be a minimum of 8’ wide and meet the requirements of the Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA). • Turf is prohibited on MDR lots as lot sizes are considerably smaller and thus difficult to achieve minimum acceptable standards under MAWA.
• All lawn areas shall be sodded with a drought tolerant, Rhizomatous Tall Fescue (RTFTM blend) or equal.
• The lawn area shall be properly soil amended, compacted, finish graded and rolled prior to the laying of the sod.
• Slopes within lawn areas shall not exceed a slope of 25% (4:1) and shall have a minimum slope of 2% (50:1).
• Where trees are planted in lawn areas create a 2’-0” diameter basin. • Redwood or plastic headers shall be installed to separate lawn areas from shrub planting areas.
Install redwood or plastic headers to form an even continuous curve; angles or sharp changes in curves are not acceptable.
Informal planting of native and drought tolerant shurbs and groundcover typical of thelandscaping along major streets.
Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 31
4.3 Water Efficient Landscape All landscaping in street corridors, common areas, commercial areas, and private residences shall comply with the City of Fairfield Municipal Code Chapter 22A Water Efficient Landscaping to achieve an overall water efficient landscape. The concepts of hydro-zoning, or using materials that are compatible in their water use requirements together within the same irrigation zones, are to be applied with all planting and irrigation design. Landscape Architects are required to provide state mandated Maximum Applied Water Allowance (MAWA) water use calculations on all landscape plans submitted for DRC review and approval. All plant species ratings for low, medium, and high water use categories shall be based on the UC Cooperative Extension’s Water Use Classification of Landscape Species (WUCOLS). In order to achieve the required water efficient landscape rating all landscape plans must meet the State of California, and City of Fairfield, standards for landscape design.
Drought Tolerant Plant Material
The careful selection and use of plant materials that have low-water consumption characteristics is desirable. Plant material that can tolerate occasional periods of reduced irrigation cycles will allow the landscaped environment the ability to withstand short-term drought conditions with the least amount of damage. Water-conserving landscapes shall:
• Group plant material with similar water needs so they can be irrigated together (hydro zoning) and/or placing “thirsty” plant material in protected microclimates shielded from drying summer winds and direct sun. • Evaluate the need for high water use lawn areas. Groundcovers with turf-like appearance may be satisfactory for landscaped areas while reducing water needs. • Select the correct plant material for the right planting situation.
Irrigation Systems
All landscape areas shall have automatically controlled irrigation systems that comply with City of Fairfield Municipal Code Chapter 22.A.5 Water Efficient Landscaping Design Requirements and Guidelines. Irrigation design may incorporate the use of spray, and/or subsurface in-line emitter, or other high efficiency drip-type systems, or any combination of those varying system types. Based on industry standard landscape maintenance, and the associated costs, as well as long-term irrigation performance and general plant performance the predominant use of spray irrigation is preferred in all common areas and public projects. All irrigation systems in the Villages of Fairfield shall apply the following Guidelines:
• Anti-siphon valves shall be installed in shrub beds and not in lawn areas. • Where double check valve backflow prevention is required, buried electric control valves will be installed.
• It is recommended to install irrigation PVC sleeves beneath driveways, walkways or other paved areas prior to concrete installation. Install the necessary number of sleeves, properly sized, to accommodate the front and rear yard irrigation system mainline, lateral lines and controller wiring. • Only NSF approved PVC irrigation pipe shall be used in the irrigation system. Use only a NSF approved and compatible solvent weld product and primer to join PVC pipes and fittings. • Where rock is encountered during trenching, all irrigation piping shall be installed with a 3” deep envelope of clean fill or sand around the pipe.
• Monitor and maintain the system to minimize equipment and material failure. Broken sprinkler heads, leaks, unreliable valves, etc., should be repaired as soon as they become apparent.
Mulch
All shrub beds shall receive a 3” thick layer of landscape grade shredded cedar bark mulch or other material approved by the DRC and City to reduce water evaporation and weed growth. No shredded bark will be allowed; recycled bark meeting the specifications cited herein will be considered upon submittal of a sample from the contractor to the DRC The use of crushed rock, gravel, lava rocks or other decorative “landscaping” rock for mulch is not allowed. The use of impermeable plastic weed barriers is not allowed.
Erosion Control
Planting areas with slope gradients of 33% (3:1) or steeper shall be stabilized to prevent soil erosion. Soil stabilization methods shall be accomplished by the use of groundcover plant material and artificial (jute mesh, terracing, etc.) means. Jute mesh shall be installed on slopes 3:1 or steeper. Landscape areas shall be graded to eliminate angular, engineered slope cuts into rounded, rolling and naturally contoured slopes that smoothly transition from a higher to lower elevation. 4.4 Street Hardscape and Furnishings Street hardscape includes the pavements and other hard (non-landscape) elements in a street corridor. In the Villages at Fairfield these elements may include street furniture such as trash receptacles, mailboxes, benches, lighting, directional signs and landmark signs.
Pavement
Sidewalk pavements shall be consistent with City of Fairfield standards. Special treatments, such as coloring and texturing may be allowed at pedestrian crossings and entry gateways when specified as an element of the gateway design plan, and approved by the DRC and the City.
Street Furniture and Mailboxes

Streetlights shall be a pole mounted decorative electrolier for all interior streets. Posts and bases shall be standard black finish and installed per manufacturer’s instructions. On streets with separated sidewalks, the light pole shall be located at the front of the sidewalk within the parkway strip. On streets with monolithic curb, gutter and sidewalk, streetlights shall be located at back of walk.
4.5 Walls, Fences and Gateways
All walls and fences will comply with Municipal Code Section 25.30.2 Fences, Walls, and Hedges. The Villages at Fairfield include a variety of fence conditions that determine the type of fence. The determination considers the adjacent land use (whether adjacent to single family dwellings, or open space). Figure 58 illustrates the location of fences and gateways, and the type of fence used in Villages I, II, Lago Vista, and Figure 59 illustrates the location of fences and gateways, and type of fence used in Villages III & IV.
Walls and Fences Along Arterial and Collector Streets
Walls and fences along the major streets define the edges of the street corridor. Typically, these walls and fences provide privacy (block walls or wood fences). In conditions where a road abuts an open space, such as adjacent to a park or a permanent open space, the Guidelines call for an open style fence that allows a view to the open space.
General Guidelines
• Where more grade retention is necessary, terracing or similar options should be considered. Materials such as natural rock, or split face block, or colored poured in place concrete may be used for these walls, with a free form or curvilinear form and aesthetically pleasing appearance. • Fencing along the edges of parks and open space should be visually permeable to provide uninterrupted views from adjacent land uses and allow observation of public areas to aid security. Where appropriate, a 12” high masonry or concrete base to the fence is desirable for maintenance reasons. • Private owners are prohibited from planting vegetation or constructing fences or other structures on public open space.
• Metal or wooden fencing may be used within parks and open space or along the adjacent residential property lines. Chain-link fencing is prohibited in these areas. The selected fencing should be simple and elegant in design, emulating the character of surrounding buildings and structures. • All wood fencing should be painted or stained in a neutral color that blends with the surrounding landscape and or complements the housing color palettes. • Fencing along the perimeter of parks and open space is not required unless there is a safety issue, but it may be used for increased privacy, to define ownership, or for other purpose.
Walls
The Villages at Fairfield attempts to capture the feel of the early California Ranch. As shown in Figure 60, the landscape designer should consider an emphasis on simple finishes of stucco and tile or stone veneer in the community areas, and along major streets. CMU walls shall be consistent with the CMU walls on the adjacent Wood Lake Estates and Gold ridge developments to provide a consistent aesthetic quality for the Villages of Fairfield. Split-face Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) shall be located along property lines that front arterial roads.

Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 34
Figure 59: Walls, Fences and Gateway Features in Villages III & IV
Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 35
Pilasters constructed of concrete block with a veneer of decorative stone and capped with tile shall be placed at approximately 100-foot intervals or where the wall changes direction or makes a grade change, and at community entries and neighborhood entries. • Walls should not detract from a sense of openness and obstruct desirable public views of open spaces. • Masonry wall design shall incorporate tree, vine, shrub, and hedge plantings to soften their appearance by covering the wall within five years.
Fences
Fences at Villages at Fairfield are comprised of pilasters or posts; horizontal rails at bottom, and top; and infill boards called the “main body”. Fences may be site-constructed or prefabricated, in module widths between 6’ and 9’. Except for pilasters, all fencing components should be visually consistent with common lumber sized and construction. Where the slope of the lot requires stepping, the top of the fence may be sloped. Fence design may be consistent with building architectural styles.
Fencing Material
• Cedar or redwood fencing shall be painted or stained to complement house color palettes. • Open picket tube steel or aluminum metal fencing. • 5 feet is minimum fence height for pool security fence. • Base walls materials shall match masonry walls for continuity.
Fence Plantings
• Lawn is not permitted at the base of fencing. • Must provide a minimum two-foot deep foundation planter at the interior and must meet city of Fairfield standards for height and setback. • Plant Spacing is dependent on each specific plant type.
Front Yard Fencing
All front yard fencing should be consistent with the architectural style of the house, and must meet City of Fairfield standards for fence height and setback.
Good Neighbor Fence: Rear Yard & Interior Side Yard Fencing “Good neighbor” rear and interior side yard fencing is placed between residential lots to provide privacy. (Figure 61). Standard wood panels comprised of 1x6 redwood boards are alternated to provide a screen between lots. For each neighborhood, a standard stain finish shall be selected on wing fencing between homes that is viewed from the street. The preferred color shall be a medium brown, semi-transparent stain. • Maximum height 6 feet from finish grade on high side of yard; • Fence facing neighboring back and side yards shall be 6 feet privacy design. • Fencing must be built on the pre-determined fence line outlined on plot plan. • Double fencing is not allowed. • Recessed minimum 5 feet from front facade of house (porch excluded).
Metal fences maintain views to open
space.

Corner Lot, Street Side Yard Fencing
The corner lot fence is located at the residential side lot property line along an adjacent street, either at an internal residential street intersection, or adjacent to an arterial or collector street. Along a residential street, the corner lot fence shall match the “Good Neighbor Fence” in materials, height, and color. (Figure 62). Along an arterial or collector street, and adjacent to entry monumentation the fence may continue the CMU and pilaster design at neighborhood entries. • Maximum height is 6 feet and may be wood or metal depending upon orientation of lot to street or open space.
• Wood fence should be enhanced with cap and trim. • Place fence outside Public utility easement.
Decorative View Fence #1: Residential Yard Perimeter Open Metal Fence Adjacent to Open Space Open Metal Fence shall be located adjacent to developed properties that abut parks and open space areas; however, Good Neighborhood Fences may be utilized for private yard spaces. The metal shall be painted a uniform black color to ensure consistency in community character. The fences shall be made of tubular steel and consist of top rail, bottom rail, and pickets spaced at uniform intervals (Figure 63). • Maximum height is 6 feet. • 60” is minimum fence heights for pool security fence.
Decorative Partial-View Fence #2: Residential Yard Perimeter Partial Open Metal Fence Adjacent to Open Space
The partial wrought iron view fence shall be made of tubular steel for the top 1/3 or 1/2 of the fence and the bottom shall be made of wooden privacy/debris fence. The wrought iron portion shall consist of top rail, bottom rail and pickets spaced at uniform intervals. As an alternative to View fence #1, this Partial-View fence #2 may be located adjacent to developed properties as they abut parks and open. The wrought iron shall be painted a uniform black color to ensure consistency in community character. • Maximum height is 6 feet.
Wire Fence
Wire fence may be located adjacent to open space. It consists of metal posts supporting four strands of high tensile barbed wire per the City of Fairfield standards (Figure 64). • Maximum height is 4 feet.

Concrete Split Rail
Concrete split rail fence may be located within 10 feet of the back of sidewalk in areas adjacent to open space and wetland areas. Such fences consist of precast concrete posts and horizontal members with a faux wood finish.
Improvements plans for specific installations shall determine the color and other complimentary improvements, including signage. (Figure 65) • Maximum height is 3 feet.
Gateways
In concert with the major street landscaping, the community entry points (gateways) contribute to the overall character and sense of place in the Villages at Fairfield. The materials, colors, trim details and style, including lettering, set the design tone for the entire project. This section describes the overall vision, and specific types of gateways. The entry monuments shall be constructed of CMU block with a stucco veneer and paint finish topped with an ornamental open, vertical element as illustrated in Figure 66. The addition of stone veneer is permissible to wall sections and pilasters on community entries. The use of planters and pots attached to the wall or pilaster is also permissible. Tile accents may be used along the top of walls below the cap, and as spot accents on pilasters.

4.6 Residential Lot Landscaping
Front Yard Landscape Design Concept
The design and layout of lawn, shrub and groundcover areas should “flow” from one house to another, creating a natural, continuous and fluid landscape experience irrespective of property lines. Figure 71 illustrates the typical residential landscape planting concept in residential front yards. To minimize water demand in residential landscapes individual homes may use water conserving landscape concepts including drought tolerant and native plants, clusters of shrub and low, creeping groundcovers, rock gardens, mulches, and irrigation systems designed to maximize water efficiency. Irrigated turf should not exceed 25% of the landscaped area of the front yard, and zero use of turf is acceptable where replaced by drought tolerant shrubs and ground covers. The design concept for “production front yard” landscapes relies heavily on accent and canopy trees for shade and visual interest. The use of more, and, when mature, larger shrubs, along with evergreen trees will provide greater botanical interest, screening, and a sense of maturity, as compared to landscaping displayed in typical new communities. To avoid mass loss of trees from species-specific disease, the Landscape Documentation Package as required in Section 22.A.4 will have the flexibility to allocate a variety of street trees in individual subdivision. Trees must be selected from Appendix A and should include a mix of broadleaf evergreen for streets oriented north/south and deciduous trees on an east west axis. This allows for solar access shading in summer and sun access in winter months. Street and secondary accent trees should be located to shade homes in the summer, yet maximize winter solar exposure. The use of large, canopy trees will ensure shaded, walkable streets, mitigating the heat of summer while enhancing neighborhoods with a strong over-story.
Deciduous tree species shall be planted along south and west building elevations. Residential yards may include contain varieties of edible fruit trees and shrubs such as, but not limited to Pear, Apple, Peach, Nectarine, or Plum. Fruiting trees shall be planted and maintained to avoid fruit drop on the sidewalk. At corner lots, special care shall be taken to create interesting plant compositions. Landscaping at building foundations and in front of side yard fences shall be in tiered planting arrangements in simple, drift s of large and small shrubs.
Figure 71: Typical Residential Landscaping Planting Concept Residential Yard Irrigation
The design of residential yard irrigation system shall apply the following Guidelines:
• The homebuilder will provide the required electrical power for the automatic irrigation controller as part of the home’s electrical system and will conform to all building, electrical and local codes (detached units only).
• The homebuilder and/or landscape contractor on detached dwellings will coordinate to provide the irrigation system water point of connection with an irrigation water stub for the front yard at the home’s main supply valve. This system shall extend a pressure main line around the front of the home as an extension of the remote control valve manifold to a point 4’ beyond the side yard fence into the rear yard of the property. • The irrigation system valve manifold will be located on the side of the house and not adjacent to the front door entry walk area. Valves shall be installed in shrub beds, not in lawn areas, within 12” of the home foundation or building slab (detached units only). • Anti-siphon valves will be installed per manufacturer’s instructions and will be located a minimum of 12” above the elevation of the highest sprinkler head. At residential lots where the highest sprinkler head exceeds this height, a double check valve backflow device will be installed per local codes. Install antisiphon valves in shrub beds and not in lawn areas. • Where double check valve backflow prevention is required, buried electric control valves will be installed.
• Install an irrigation system shut-off gate above grade adjacent to the main supply valve for the house.
The shut-off valve shall be a gate valve installed upstream of the irrigation system valve manifold and shall be the same size as the irrigation system’s constant pressure mainline diameter size.
Not more than 25% of front landscape may be irrigated turf, and drought tolerant landscape is acceptable.
Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 43
Tree Planting Requirements
• Street trees shall be planted an average of one 24”-box tree per 25 linear feet of street frontage on single-family residential lots.
• All planting areas should contain a minimum of 12 inches of conditioned, amended, and fertilized soil and top dressed with 2 inches of bark mulch.
• Weed control fabric is not required in planting beds. However, a pre-emergent weed control product is recommended.
• There must be a continuous edge between the plant bed and mowed turf when planting.
Subordinate and Accent Front Yard Trees
A subordinate and accent layer of subordinate tree species will be used in front yards to provide additional structural and spatial form as well as variety and seasonal interest for homeowners. The selection and use of additional front yard trees for shade, accent and streetscape interest will further add to the strength and enduring value of Villages at Fairfield. Flowering trees, evergreens, and trees of botanical interest and value have been included in the following plant lists for front and side yards. The homebuilder will specify secondary and tertiary trees on the Landscape Documentation Package submitted to the DRC. • Subordinate and accent front yard trees shall be a minimum 15-gallon size. • Installed by builder prior to closing. • To quickly establish a more mature street scene, larger front yard trees are encouraged. For example, rather than plant a typical 15-gallon tree, increase the size to 24” box, and plant either two 24” trees or one 36” box tree(s) on corner lots
• A minimum of 2 feet mulched radius tree ring or rectangle from curb to sidewalk is required at the base of the tree and be consistent with the edging in the yard. (composite, steel, or shovel-cut) • Deciduous trees should be located to provide summer shade on south/south-western exposures. • Tree spacing is dependent on species type. • Evergreens should be at least 6 feet in height at installation. • Location and amount outlined on plot plan. • 2 inch caliper minimum.
Shrubs
• Plant material species shall be selected from the plant material palette provided in Appendix A. • A minimum of 50% of the total quantity of shrubs shall be five (5) gallon size. • No more than 25% of any one front yard landscape shall be composed of deciduous shrubs.
Planting plans are encouraged to have a mix of both evergreen and deciduous plants for all year color. • Hedges are permitted on all lots and must be maintained on a regular basis. • Shrub spacing varies depending on species type, typically never more than 5 feet on center. The proper spacing of trees, shrubs and groundcover to allow adequate room for the plant material to grow into its natural form and ultimate size at maturity is exceedingly important but should not be used as a basis for decreasing shrub quantities. • Shrub plant material shall be placed in informal masses and/or clustered arrangements of three to five plants.
• Strategically place landscaping between the homes to screen and soften exposed interior side yard and rear yard fencing. Use evergreen plant material to the maximum extent possible in these situations.
Perennials
• Minimum plant size at installation is 1 gallon • Spacing: 18 inches on center, depending on species type. • Planting plans are encouraged to have a mix of both evergreen and deciduous plants for all year color.
Foundation Plantings
• Foundation plantings are required at the base of houses and garages. • Foundation planter beds should be a minimum of 3-5 feet deep and screen the foundation. • Plantings should be planted at denser-than-normal spacing to ensure good foundation coverage.
Ground Cover
• Ground cover includes living material, but stone, cobble, gravel, and or bark mulch may be permitted to achieve water-conserving design.
• Low-growing (6”to 18” high) and spreading (3’ to 12’ wide) plants that cover the ground and keep weeds down also can add seasonal interest with flowers and color. • Spacing a minimum of 18 inches on center, depending on species type. • The groundcover edge shall consist of recycled plastic bender board. Other materials may be considered if they can create the required smooth sweeping curves.
• Turf substitutes are preferred, but not required. Mowed turf areas must be large enough for practical use (minimum of 8’ wide) and be located no closer than 3-5 feet from foundations (house and garage,) and 2 feet from fences and tree trunks in shrub beds. • Groundcovers shall be from either one (1) gallon, liners or flats installed in a triangular pattern.
Paving
• Pervious paving is recommended in areas such as garden walks and secondary pathway through the yard. • Colored or stained colored concrete is encouraged, however, painted concrete is not allowed.
Garden Structures (Trellises, Arbors.)
• Residential garden structures visible from the street should be consistent with the house’s architectural and landscape character and located in a manner that complements both. 5 Architectural Design The Architectural Design Guidelines ensure that all residential building design in Villages at Fairfield will be of high quality and have an appearance that will enhance and be compatible with the character of the surrounding Fairfield community. The Guidelines provide detailed guidance to the homebuilder regarding the level of architectural design, variety, and quality required for each home built in the Villages at Fairfield.
Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 44
While an overall goal of Villages at Fairfield is architectural harmony, variety is an important objective, and is strongly encouraged. Quality of materials, the quality of design, and the quality of construction is the primary objective in the goal of architectural harmony. The Guidelines focus on the design of single-family dwellings. Parcels in the various villages addressed by these guidelines are zoned RLM (Residential, Low Medium Density) District or RM (Residential, Medium Density) District.
Although the RM District will allow attached dwelling units, the Villages at Fairfield is planned to include a variety of detached single-family home types. The Villages at Fairfield includes a High Density zoned parcel (RH, Residential High Density) which will be subject to the detailed review process established in the Fairfield Municipal Code when a subsequent application for development is submitted. The Villages also includes the Laurel Creek Plaza Commercial Center that was approved previously and is subject to a separate design standard. The following information is a supplement and enhancement to the Fairfield Municipal Code, Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 25 (as amended from time to time). When there is a conflict between the requirements contained herein and the City’s Zoning Ordinance, the more stringent shall govern.
5.1 Architectural Styles and Character
This Guideline does not limit homes for Villages at Fairfield to specific styles in residential architecture; however, the architecture of each residence shall reflect the following principles:
a. Complete, Coherent Use of the Style.
The style must be articulated in the roof forms, façades, massing, detailing and material and color selections. Coordination of building style, landscaping and accent materials are encouraged. b. Distinct Use of the Style
Mixing of styles, e.g. Gothic columns with Spanish Colonial architecture must be avoided. c. Style Integrated With Surroundings
The overall character and scale of the architecture style must integrate with the style of the adjacent housing.
The massing, character, and detailing of the architectural styles should be authentic. Architects and designers are encouraged to exercise creativity and individual expression in conceiving and interpreting architectural form, but architectural styles should be honest and appropriate for the building type.
Energy Efficient Design
• In conformity with the California Green Code, buildings should attempt to integrate resource-friendly technology and green building practices into the building design. • Use of energy efficient building design is encouraged.
Architectural Details
• Building details will enhance and complement the overall building design and its associated architectural style.
• Architectural details such as trim, window boxes, brackets, trellises, molding, and sills should be proportional to the element they are enhancing.
• Use of awnings and overhangs may be appropriate for some building styles to enhance overall design. • Building elevations facing the street should include design elements that provide shadow and depth.
Such elements include recesses, overhangs, changing rooflines, balconies, wall projections, covered entries changing rooflines, and other design elements that provide shadows and depth.
Entryways
Street facing building entries, porches, and other architectural elements should create a human scale environment, and provide transitions from public to private spaces. The following measures will help accomplish a clean entry sequence extending from the public sidewalk to the front door:
• A walkway (not inclusive of the driveway) from the
sidewalk to the front porch or residential entry.
• A walkway from the porch or residential entry to the
driveway.
• Functional front porches or front stoops. • Clearly defined site and building entries that are in scale with the dwelling and are oriented directly to the street frontage. • Front doors that are clearly identifiable from the adjacent street, with distinctive architectural elements and materials to denote the prominence of the entry.
Doors and Windows
• Front doors shall be high quality, and complement the architectural style. The use of distinctive upgraded hardware and materials denoting prominence is encouraged. Except for side entries on narrow lots, entry doors should be visible from the street. • Doors and windows should complement the architectural style of the building.
• Window and door materials shall not include reflective glass, as it creates glare.
• On all façades visible from public or private streets, windows should be articulated using contrasting trim at least 4” wide, shutters, mullions, bay windows, etc. Front façades should feature reveals, recesses and other architectural treatments to provide visual interest.
Porch and door color
selection help to make the
door visible from the street.
Lighting fixtures help to establish the
prominence of the entry way while
complementing the architectural style.
Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 45
Garage Doors
In general, the appearance and prominence of the garage doors in the building facade should be minimized and designed to complement the building architecture. Proper treatment of the garage is critical to creating a sense of variety and quality. • Articulation of the garage façade is important for all floor plans and it is critical for garage forward plans. Lot and floor plan permitting, tandem three car garages are allowed. • All garage doors shall have a minimum 6” recess from
the frame to create a shadow line. Forward garages must be recessed a minimum of 12” behind the garage wall plane. • Variation of garage door styles are required.
Architectural Lighting
• Exterior lighting fixtures should complement the
overall architectural style of the building.
• Lighting fixtures shall not create flare or spillover to adjacent neighbors. • Use of lighted building address numbers so that it is visible from the street at night.
5.2 Building Setbacks
Residential setback lines will adhere to the minimum requirements as provided in the Residential Development Standards in these Guidelines and Fairfield Municipal Code Section 25.20.3 Development Regulations, unless otherwise indicated in Section 5.2.5 of these Guidelines. To achieve visual variety while maintaining a comfortable street edge, the setback should vary where feasible, particularly in the garage and second floors.
Porch
When utilized, porch areas should be a minimum of 6’ in depth from front of post in order to bring the “social” part of the home closer to the sidewalk. The porch setback shall be a minimum of 10 feet from the front property line if the sidewalk is monolithic, 8 feet from the front property line if the sidewalk is separated, and 5 feet from the front property line if the house faces a private courtyard.
Projections & Bays
In order to create a variety and human scale in the façades, bays and projections shall be permitted to encroach up to three-feet (3’) into the side and rear building setback area. However, under no circumstances will projections and bays be allowed within a minimum 15’ from the front setback line.
Side Yard
• Side yards shall have a pad (behind the fence) for placement of two 50-gallon recycling “cans” or an alternative dimension needed to accommodate three smaller cans. • For privacy purposes, windows that face onto side yards should be located where feasible so that they do not align with neighboring homes.
Accessory Dwelling Units
Accessory dwelling units are allowed and encouraged, subject to Building Code, Zoning Ordinance, and any relevant setbacks listed above.
Alternative Development Standards
In order to achieve a cohesive neighborhood design and maintain appropriate setbacks for small lot development, the following development standards shall apply in the Lago Vista neighborhood. Where development standards are not specified below, refer to Table 25-4 of the City of Fairfield Municipal Code. Table 3: Lago Vista Site Planning Development Standards RegulaIons Zoning District

5.3 Building Form and Orientation to the Street Architectural elements that provide visual interest and a sense of unity should articulate building elevations along the street. The overall massing and the front elevations should promote a sense of human scale. The proportions and details of the building must be balanced within itself, and with the overall streetscape and neighborhood character.
Architectural Variety along the Street Front
Major streets and common area streetscapes unify a neighborhood; however, individual homes present considerable opportunity for variation in style, massing, detailing, and color. Primary techniques in creating a sense of variety within a street scene are to vary the building styles, building heights, and massing. A successful combination of different building plans and elevations offers each home an individuality that harmonizes with other homes at the neighborhood scale. The following techniques are appropriate means to achieve proper variety, massing, scale and proportion:
• Large expanses of blank walls, garage doors, and utilities along the front areas of buildings and lots should be avoided.
• Diversity in product type can be achieved with significant variation in floor plans, configurations, heights, and massing, and minor variations in size or number of bedrooms. • House plans of the same model type should not be placed next to or across from one another, where possible.
• Within a given street scene, no house plan of the same model type, with the same elevation shall be permitted side-by-side.
• Single-story design criteria would allow for second story living space to be provided in the single-story roof line.
• A minimum of 10% of homes within the RLM4.5 and RLM5 zones shall meet the single-story design criteria described above.
Villages at Fairfield Design Guidelines 47
Table 5 shows ratios of floor plans to elevations depending on the number of homes proposed by the homebuilder. Note that the ratios listed in the table are minimum guidelines.
Table 5: Ratio of Lots to Floor Plan Styles to Elevation Styles Architecture Oriented to the Street
To promote an active street scene, buildings should be oriented toward adjacent public areas including streets and parks, with entry areas facing onto the street, where possible. The primary living areas of the home should visually dominate the street scene. Architecture shall be oriented to the street so that interactive elements create a human scale and are inviting to the street scene. Interactive elements include; porches, verandahs, portecocheres, balconies, decks, porticos, trellises, arbors, courtyards, or a feature window in the front living space. The quality of design and orientation of interactive elements provide “eyes on the street” and contribute to pedestrian safety, a sense of place and activity, and neighborhood socialization.
Garage Orientation
Reducing the visual impact of the garage is an important goal and may be accomplished by a variety of means including, but not limited to: garages which are set back behind the non-garage façade or porch; units with forward garages which also include courtyards, arbors, arches, porte cochere or other similar treatments to enhance the streetscape; or side-turned garages. To create a more pedestrian friendly streetscape and promote architecture forward design, locate the garage face behind the face of living spaces of the building, where feasible. One garage forward design, limited to 25% of units, is allowed in each neighborhood.
• Houses on corner lots should be oriented such that the driveway is located on the side of the lot away from the street intersection.
• For lots less than 55’ wide, a mix of at least two garage orientation alternative designs should be provided in each neighborhood (swing in garages and garage forward are not suggested for these lots). • For lots 55’ and wider, a mix of at least three garage orientation alternative designs should be provided in each neighborhood.
Corner Lot-Secondary Frontage
Buildings on corner lots can create visual gateways at intersections and provide opportunities for street articulation and active use. Corner lots should consider the following guidelines:
• Wrap around porches are encouraged for corner lots. • For lots greater than 4,500 square feet, one plan per neighborhood shall be designed primarily for use on corner lots. This plan should have the ability to be easily altered for use on interior lots. • The aesthetics of side elevations should be equal to the front elevation in detail and articulation. • All material changes must occur on an inside corner. • The length of building on the side-yard conditions should be maximized to reduce side-yard fencing. Sideyard fencing on corner lots should not exceed 50% of the lot dimension along the side street. • The side street elevations on corner lots can provide architectural features that create a presence to the street and improve the visual surveillance of the public realm. • Use of building styles with greater massing and height on corner lots is encouraged. Such styles visually anchor the block and reinforce a sense of entry into a neighborhood. To this end, buildings on corner lots must address both street frontages. Corner lots are wider to accommodate the side yard setback along the side street and allow architectural articulation and landscaping.
Architectural Form
Buildings with good form and massing will help articulate the streetscape and create a more human scale, pedestrian friendly and harmonious environment. Building form should reflect the following guidance:
• 2-story building massing may include one-story
elements to soften the overall scale of the building.
• Wall planes should be staggered to offer
refinement of building massing. This can occur on the horizontal plane and/or vertical plane. • Projections and architectural elements
appropriate to the architectural style of the building are encouraged as they also help refine massing and interest to the streetscape.
Roofscape
To help create an interesting streetscape, roofs should vary in forms, pitches, styles, and heights. This can be achieved through:
• Interesting roof lines. A series of hips, gables, projections (e.g., dormers), and roof form changes that create variation in planes in accordance with a recognized architectural style. The use of different roof pitches for different designs • Eaves and overhangs to provide shadow and texture to the home in a manner consistent with the selected architectural style.
• Roofline design that incorporates changes in direction, pitch, architectural styling and configuration. • Strong roof forms. Roof framing treatments may include gables, sheds and hips. Generally, flat roofs are not allowed unless they can be proven to be appropriate architectural styles of the building.
The minimum roof pitch shall be five feet (5’) vertical in twelve feet (12’) horizontal, roof pitches may be reduced to 4:12 (min.) dependent on the specific architectural style, or if the roof pitch is critical to the overall design from a massing, scale and articulation standpoint.

5.4 Colors and Materials
Colors
Color has the greatest visual impact of any of the architectural elements. Either it can be the glue that binds the neighborhood together, or it can be solvent that dissolves the visual bond. • Colors shall be appropriate for the architectural style, with accent colors on doors, windows, shutters, wrought iron, awnings and trim as appropriate.
• Color combinations, including roof tile and masonry, must be submitted in a complete and understandable manner in order for the DRC to review and approve. This shall include, but not be limited to, color chips and material samples mounted on a display board.
Materials and Finishes
Building materials, colors, and finishes provide interest and variety, and help to create a more human scale to the building form. The selection of materials and finishes should be consistent with the architectural style and character of the residence. Finishes should appear in a complete presentation as indicated below. • Building materials and colors should be complementary, promoting a more harmonious appearance and style.
• Material changes should occur in a logical and aesthetically pleasing manner. • Material changes must occur at reverse corners or return on a sidewall towards the privacy screen.
Unless the material is being used to create a column effect, the sidewall shall return to fence or wall plane. • Frequent changes in materials should be avoided. • Use high quality, durable and low maintenance materials that project a sense of permanence. • Accent materials should be used to add interest and variety to the building design. Materials may include but are not limited to brick, tile, natural or manufactured stone, cementations siding material, and stucco.
T-111 siding and plastic/fiberglass materials that may fade or weather are not allowed. • The primary building material should be expressed on building faces that are visible to the public. The primary public facing façade should allow for additional material and details. • Create architectural variety using a minimum of three basic colors, and house materials that are texturally different, yet visually compatible.
