Pleasant Grove Downtown Village Design Standards and Guidelines 11. Renovations (See also Appendix A, Restorations) Renovating existing and historic buildings in Downtown Pleasant Grove is deemed a preferred development scenario to demolition, whenever possible and practical. Any renovation projects should follow the Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings, as established by the Secretary of the Interior, which can be found at www.nps.gov/hps/tps/standguide. Standards (Required by City Code) 1. When inappropriate materials and forms mask the original building facades, these shall be removed, exposing the original materials, proportions, openings and design features. 2. As many as possible of the distinguishing features of a building shall be maintained. Alteration or removal of these features is discouraged. 3. Renovation projects are to be designed and accomplished in a manner that respects the architectural heritage of the building and its historical context in the downtown streetscape. (Section 10-11E-2-14Q) Guidelines (Recommendations) 1. The original building composition should be respected, including the scale and proportions of the existing structure. 2. The original design character and integrity of the building should be respected. Avoid superimposing a fake historical style. 3. When parts of a building are in need of work, they should be repaired rather than replaced. If it is impossible to repair, then replace with materials that are historically correct. 4. The original proportion of open (clear glass) to solid (structural piers) and other materials should be maintained. 5. Original materials should be used if at all possible. Avoid the use of materials that are inconsistent with materials used at the time of original construction. 6. Bulkheads below storefront windows should retain the original proportions and be constructed with materials consistent or compatible with the age of the building. Adopted June 7, 2011 27
