BUILDING MATERIALS
Design Intent:
Primary building materials should be authentic, durable, and reflect
Western Character. Materials should have a muted color and finish,
and reflect high quality design and detailing. In Area 1, the palette
of materials should be more limited in order promote a sense of
visual continuity around the Town Square. In Area 2, more diversity
in the materials is appropriate, albeit within the range of those used
traditionally.
