The Oak Knoll neighborhood streets are designed to be pedestrian friendly in both function and appearance. A line of street trees fl anks either side of the street, with a generous sidewalk. Planting and fences in the front yard zone between the sidewalk and the homes is designed to defi ne an appropriate transition to the semi-private yard and porch zone. Porches will be designed as outdoor rooms and lighted to provide a sense of security to the pedestrian. Please refer to the Landcape Chapter of these Design Guidelines for specifi c proposed street sections.

15 2.0 PLANNING GUIDELINES HIGH VISIBILITY FACADES - STREET FACING

All facades which are visible from the street, including setback garages and all sections of side facing façades which are in front of garages must follow High Visibility standards as deﬁ ned in the Architectural Guidelines of this book.

HIGH VISIBILITY FACADES -OPEN SPACE FACING

The intention for an open space facing home is to present a pleasing appearance towards the open space and to take advantage of views towards the surrounding creek or woodland areas. These facades must follow High Visibility standards as well.

ARCHITECTURAL DIVERSITY AND ‘THE MONOTONY CODE’

The purpose of the Monotony Code is to create variation and hierarchy within The Monotony Code the Oak Knoll streetscape, giving the community an appearance of growth aims to produce over time. This can be done by designing a range of home layouts and sizes neighborhoods that have that respond to the location of the lot within the overall neighborhood. The diverse streetscapes and Monotony Code will be enforced through the use of a matrix tracking the architectural features like following: the images on the facing page. For each single-family detached lot type, there must be a minimum of three unique ﬂ oor plan types, with three façade variations each; A diﬀ erent porch or stoop type will be considered a façade variation; No two detached homes of the same design may be repeated within 2 adjacent lots on a given Block Face or a facing Block Face; Homes on corner lots are encouraged to have architectural features such as wrapped porches, side porches, or bay windows facing the secondary street. Both the front as well as side facing facade on corner lots will be considered High Visibility Facades. The Monotony Code aims to prevent uniform streetscapes and architecture like the image to the left . 2.0 PLANNING GUIDELINES PLANNING 2.0

17 2.0 PLANNING GUIDELINES 2.3 COMMERCIAL

The Retail Village at Oak Knoll is meant to provide public gathering spots and convenience shopping for local residents. It is envisioned as urban in character similar to other local neighborhood commercial corridors (such as sections of Park or Lakeshore Boulevards) and should feature retail facades on the street rather than an isolated ‘strip’ type development laid out alongside a parking lot. In addition to following the cities zoning ordinances,, the following guidelines will apply to the Retail Village, see ﬁ gure 1.6:

Design Objectives:

• Building placement which reinforces the concept of the ‘Main St’ and the ‘Plaza’, and orients service areas away from these and is screened from view from Mountain Blvd

• Appropriate Glazing requirements for all facades facing primary streets and public areas

• Awnings to provide outdoor gathering areas and shade Retail Village - Bldgs oreint towards Main St • Sidewalk widths at primary retail facades suﬃ cient to provide tree planting, signage, furnishings, lighting and outdoor seating areas where appropriate to adjacent retail use

• Hardscape and Planting which reinforces the outdoor pedestrian realm, but provides equal access to vehicular traﬃ c

A ﬁ nal design for the retail village will be submitted by a retail developer. Retail signage locations and design shall be reviewed at the Final Development Plan submittal stage, and a Signage Master Plan will be submitted as part of that application.

21 2.0 PLANNING GUIDELINES 2.4 TOWNHOMES

Townhome development at Oak Knoll will be designed to create functional and pedestrian friendly streetscapes. The orientation and layout of buildings should create ‘addresses’ and a sense of place for individual homes. Townhomes should feature adequate open space and common amenities for the inhabitants as deﬁ ned in the City of Oaklands Zoning Ordinances. Final design of towhhome parcels will be submitted to the City of Oakland in a form of a Final Development Plan, and designs will be evaluated using these guidelines.

Design Objectives:

• Create a ‘sense of address’ and a front door for each unit by providing ‘door yards’ , gates, and access to public streets and paseos;

• All units should feature covered entry areas either in the form of a stoop or entry porch;

• Variation of design is encouraged, and corner units should be treated diﬀ erently than middle units;

• End facades should treated as high visibility and should feature windows, entries where appropriate, and other design features normally on the front facade. ‘Door yards’ and orientation of entry onto a street or pedestrian path • Odd numbers of units in a row are encouraged;

• Stepping between units is encouraged to provide private balconies and a varied building frontage as viewed from the street.

• Landscape planting should be integrated in with streetscapes and provide screening for parking & alleys. Please refer to the Preliminary Development Plan for example designs for Paseos and Pocket Parks.

23 2.0 PLANNING GUIDELINES 2.5 SETBACK AND HEIGHT Main Body REGULATIONS

Building setback and height requirements are contained in the Development Standards with the proposed zoning and vary according to lot size and building type. In addtion to those standards, the intent of these guidelines is to address additional massing considerations such as ‘under the roof’ or ‘attic’

1/2 stories, and setback garages. These considerations are described further Front in the Architectural chapter. Garage

WIthin the small lot area (lots of less than 4000 sf), up to 100 sf of a covered porch area is allowed to encroach up to 5’ into the front yard setback, provided Side that on-lot storm water treatment is adequately accommodated.

31 3.0 ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES 3.3 MASSING – PRIMARY Front-facing gable

VOLUMES Hyphen

BUILDING ORIENTATION Side-facing gable

A variety of symmetrical and asymmetrical massings can be used when laying out an Oak Knoll home. First, it is important to determine the building orientation based on lot conditions. Typically, this will either be perpendicular or parallel to the street.

SECONDARY VOLUMES

Next, an assessment of secondary volumes -- garages and additional building wings -= will help determine the appropriate roof proﬁ le. This may be gable, gambrel, hip, shed, or a combination thereof. For further information on roof proﬁ les, see Section 3.3: Roofs.

ADDITIVE BUILDING ELEMENTS

Ultimately, the massing should be simple and understated, and should provide a backdrop to unique building elements like porches, dormers, and other details while logically shaping the interior spaces.

Please refer to the Appendix for acceptable roof materials.

SUCCESSFUL ROOF DESIGNS

While a variety of roof types suit the Oak Knoll home, successful designs will support the simple massing of primary and secondary volumes and interior spaces, visually reduce the scale of the home, and provide adequate shading.

DORMER SIZING

Dormers are an important element that allows upper stories of a home to be usable as well as visually diminishing the scale of the upper level. Dormers may contain one window, or a string of windows, depending on the functional needs of the spaces within.

Dormer eaves and overhang details should be scaled accordingly, and should be consistent with the overall roof details.

All dormers shall be functional and bring light into occupiable interior spaces.

DORMER SIDING

Siding may be applied on the side walls of dormers either horizontally or sloped to match the adjacent roof. Siding may be applied on the front face of dormers only upon approval by the DRC.

WINDOW TYPES

Homes may have single-hung, double-hung, triple-hung, awning, and casement windows. Square transom windows are allowed on Secondary Facades, and may be used in bedrooms, bathrooms, stairwells, etc. Arch windows shall be permitted where appropriate to the style. Please refer to the Architectural Style Matrix on pg 30 for window recommendations by style. Bay windows may encroach into front and rear yard as permitted by zoning and building codes. All windows shall be fully trimmed on the exterior with appropriate head, side, and sill details. Mitered joints are not permitted.

WINDOW PROPORTIONS

Windows may be mulled together to achieve wider expanses of glass, but shall not exceed 12’ in total width. Windows may have no muntins, a 2 over 2, 4 over 1, 4 over 4, 6 over 1, or 6 over 6 muntin pattern. True divided lites are Casement Style windows preferred, simulated divided lites are acceptable, and removable muntins are prohibited.

SHUTTERS

If shutters are incorporated in Primary Facades they should likewise be incorporated in High Visibility Facades. Each shutter shall be a minimum of half of the window dimension. Louvered or panelized shutters are acceptable.

Exterior Main Entry doors can be ﬂ at or traditionally paneled doors. Please refer to the Architectural Style Matrix on pg 30 for design recommendations by style.

3.8 PORCHES & STOOPS TYPES

The porch or stoop is the signature element of an Oak Knoll home. As such, all homes must have either a porch or stoop. Multiple types are acceptable and encouraged, from single-bay to full-width, wraparound, and stacked. Pages 41 and 42 illustrate examples of porch and stoop types. Entry Courts are also an entry feature of certain styles of homes and are addressed in the landscape section.

PORCH DIMENSIONS

All porches or stoops on detached homes shall be a minimum of 30 sf of covered area, and designed in a manner appropriate to the style of architecture.

Porches shall be elevated a minimum of 8 (8) inches above grade. Wherever possible, porch decks should not exceed thirty (30) inches above grade; the necessity of a guard rail is to be avoided.

Covered porches are allowed encroachments into front yard setbacks, see lot diagroms on pages 24-27.

Street trees are important thematic elements of the neighborhoods, where strong patterns reinforce the neighborhood identity, deﬁ ne road edges and provide a shaded overstory. A strong overhead tree canopy will modify the climate and bring streets into a more balanced scale with the overall landscape.

The community streetscape features a natural setting of Coastal Oak woodland, comprised of native London Plane and Coast Live Oak along street edges. Plantings are low groundcovers in composed drift s, using selections from the Approved Plant List. (Refer to the PDP for public street sections.)

The Creekside Village, Retail Village, Creekside Townhomes and Garden Court neighborhoods utilize native Oak woodland as the predominant framework plantings, with London Plane, Trident Maple, Red Maple and Brisbane Box as canopy street or parking lot trees. APE GUIDELINES DSC 4.0 LAN 4.0

Stone piers with historic details are envisioned for use to celebrate the main entry points and secondary neighborhood entry points. A hierarchy of scale will diﬀ erentiate the entry and neighborhood monuments, while incorporating unique details and establishing a common approach. Materials Stone Neighborhood Entry Piers and craft smanship will employ a uniﬁ ed approach to unify the community design, including stone details at the vehicular bridge crossing the creek and community center entrance.

The vision for the main entry monument on Mountain Boulevard and Keller Avenue is for a collection of native rock and trees (oaks, manzanita, etc) in a naturalized composition. Community signage may be integrated into the rock similar to the tradition of the neighborhood street names at neighborhood entries.
