• ARTICLE XIII.  ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AND PROJECTS
• Sec. 9-551.  Intent and purpose.
• (1) These design guidelines shall promote architectural and site design treatments that enhance the visual appearance of development within the county.
• (3)   To maintain and enhance the attractiveness of the streetscape and the existing architecture in the community.
• (4)   To create and maintain a strong community image and identity by providing for architectural treatments that enhances the visual experience of commercial development in Orange County.
• (5)   To require articulation that reduces the mass/scale and uniform monolithic appearance of large commercial buildings, and ensures that commercial buildings and projects incorporate architectural features that provide visual interest, while allowing design flexibility.

• Sec. 9-554.  Building orientation; primary and secondary facades.

• (a)   The intent of this section is to orient commercial buildings toward the public right-of-way or roadway or to private internal collector type/roadways and to establish architectural standards for primary and secondary facades in Orange County.
• (c)   Mid-block commercial buildings shall be oriented to face the right-of-way/roadway, unless it can be shown that compelling site conditions necessitate a different orientation. If compelling site conditions necessitate that the building not face the right-of-way/roadway, then the building is considered to have two (2) primary facades: the facade that faces the right-of-way/roadway and the facade that incorporates the primary customer entrance.

(e)   All primary facades of a building shall have architectural style, detail, trim features, and roof treatments that are consistent with each other. Further, all primary facades shall have a similar level of treatment, detail and visual interest. This is inclusive of window, primary entrance, roof form (parapet, gable, hip, mansard or combination) and architectural elements (columns, pilasters, pediments, overhangs, balustrades, towers, dormers, cupolas and/or other projections of facade and fenestration). In lieu of actual windows and entrances, niches and alcoves with significant architectural delineation and definition to suggest window and entrance elements shall be used.
