EXHIBIT "C" Gateway Subdivision Design Guidelines All buildings within the Gateway PUD shall adhere to the latest adopted addition of the Florida Building Code (FBC),the Florida Fire Prevention Code (FFPC), and the Florida Administrative Code (FAC) at the time of construction. These architectural standards are requirements in addition to those laid out in the FBC, FFPC, and FAC. All buildings within the Gateway PUD are also subject to be approved through the Zephyrhills Building Department and the Zephyrhills Community Development Agency(CRA). Architecture refers to the relationship and culmination of the various features of a building including texture, proportion, entrance design, doors, windows, trim details, roofs, materials and color in addition to the mass and scale. The standards outlined herein are in reference to the elements of the structures within the Gateway PUD. These standards also address the relationship of these structures with their surroundings. The Zephyrhills CRA Director shall review facade plans for comment and/or approval. The Zephyrhills Building Department Official shall review structural plans for comment or approval. Addressing Addressing numbers (aka street numbers, house numbers) may be used to add personality to the facade of a building. However, the decorative style should not interfere with the primary purpose of quick identification of a building as needed by others, especially emergency services. Residential properties must have address numbers;they are required by law as part of the uniform fire code. Location: Address numbers must be mounted on the facade facing the primary street, either on the frame around the door or on an adjacent wall within three(3) feet of the door frame. The address numbers must also be installed above the vertical midpoint of the door. When choosing a location, consider areas which are illuminated by street lights or the building's porch lights. Address numbers must also be installed on the facade of garages adjacent to the alleys. All requirements for address numbers apply, however, the style and size of the number is not required to match the address numbers on the front of the building. Address numbers for residences in a multi-family building must be facing the street and located in the same relative position for each unit in the building. Address numbers facing an alley,while recommended to be in the same relative position, may vary. Size: All numbers in an address must be the same style, material and vertical height. Address numbers should be proportionate in size to the size of the structure: Bungalow and Garden: from 3" to 5" in height Single and Multi-Family: from 4"to 6" in height Style: Must be Arabic numerals (1234) and not text ("One thousand two hundred thirty- four"). Numbers must contrast with their background. When mounted near the pedestrian door leading to a garage apartment a letter may be attached. Gateway Subdivision Design Standards I 1
