Chauncey Proposed Design Comparison to CB-10 Site Development Standards.
8 June 2016 (REVISED 20 JUNE 2016)
14-2C-6: COMMERCIAL SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:
B. Applicability:
3. Development in the CB-2, CB-5, and CB-10 zones is subject to the central business site development
standards specified in section 14-2C-8 of this article. (Ord. 11-4450, 10-18-2011)
14-2C-8: CENTRAL BUSINESS SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:
E. Maximum Setback:
Item 2.
The Chauncey is set back from the east property line due to an easement that
separates the new building from the city owned Open Parking ramp.
H. Landscaping: All areas of the site that are not used for buildings, parking, vehicular and
pedestrian use areas, sidewalk cafes, and plazas, must be landscaped with trees and/or
plant materials. A landscaping plan for such areas must be submitted for site plan review.
Chauncey Landscape Plans are included with the Site Plan Submittal drawings.

M. Building Entrances:
1. Primary building entries must be distinguished by at least two (2) of the following
means:
a. Canopies or awnings;
b. Recesses;
c. Raised cornice or similar architectural features;
d. Architectural details, such as tile work and moldings that are integrated in the
building structure and design.
The main entrance to the Chauncey is located on the South side of the building
facing College Street. This entrance is defined by a recess in the glass façade and
a metal/glass canopy.
The secondary entrance is located on the North side and only includes one of
these features. It is recessed in the glass façade but does not have a canopy. The
design intent is to have the north entrance be cohesive with the design but more
subtle than the south entrance. The north entrance is not a street facing side but
is still easily accessible from Gilbert Street.
2. To encourage commercial activity…
The first floor elevation is at grade with the building’s primary entrances.
Because of a sloping site, some portions of the first floor elevation may be higher
than 1’ above the adjacent sidewalk but does not exceed
3 feet above the adjacent
sidewalk.
O. Building Articulation:
1. For buildings greater than fifty feet (50') in width, the horizontal plane of any street-
facing facade of the building must be broken into modules that give the appearance
of smaller, individual storefronts. These modules must meet the following standards:
a. Each module must be no greater than fifty feet (50') in width.
b. Each module must be distinguished from the adjacent module by at least three (3) of
the following means:
(1) Variation in the wall plane by recessing a building module from the adjacent building
module;
(2) Variation in material colors, types or textures;
(3) Variation in the building and/or parapet height;
(4) Variation in the architectural details such as decorative pilasters, banding, reveals,
stone or tile accents;
(5) Break or variation in window pattern;
(6) Variation in the use of upper floor balconies and recesses.
Chauncey’s unique and contemporary design follows these guidelines on the
upper portion of the building. The first two levels of the Chauncey are very unique
in the design approach and offer a different, dynamic scene to the downtown area.
The 2-story glass wall is transparent. It is close to a quarter of a block long and is
a smooth façade. This approach allows the wall to be highly transparent so the
inside area is visible. The inside includes the theater “Pods” and is treated as part
of the level one gallery space. This approach brings the sculpture of the interior to
pedestrians outside. The architecture is defined as much by the visible interior as
the butt-glazed transparent exterior.
The Standard is intended to provide storefront rhythm and visual interest that
corresponds to the context of mainstreet commercial street. However, this is a
standalone building that is not located along a traditional mainstreet corridor and
is not intedned to ever provide interior space behind commercial storefronts. The
unique uses within the interior space (large theater pods) and gallery space within
ta transparent glass façade create a different and unique means of achieving visual
interest. In addition, the upper floors meet the standard and thus create a façade
that is varied in material, wall plane, texture, and color that prevents fisual
monotony.
