Draft Chapter 18.28 Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) District <br />(2) Canopy <br />A Canopy element serves as an intermediate or final horizontal modulation element or "lid" <br />at a ground floor fagade, or as a street fagade cap. Its purpose is to provide shade or cover <br />for pedestrians or sidewalk dining and /or to establish a strong horizontal massing element <br />and "shadowline" in the fagade. It can be a continuous horizontal element, a series of <br />repeated elements (typically above shopfront windows), or a single "feature" element <br />occurring at a structure's main or secondary entrance. A canopy and its related building <br />components should be constructed of an accent building material (such as metal, tempered <br />glass, or roof material used elsewhere on building) that is compatible with the primary <br />building material. <br />i.

TRELLIS <br />CANOPY <br />(3) Shaped Parapet <br />A Shaped Parapet is the freestanding upper extension of the street fagade extending above <br />the point where the roof intersects behind it. A Shaped Parapet provides visual completion <br />to the top of a building fagade and develops a distinct and recognizable skyline for the <br />building. The form of a Shaped Parapet may be unrelated to the roof form behind it. In <br />many cases, the form of a shaped parapet has traditionally been symmetrical. Generally, <br />Shaped Parapets and their related components should be constructed of the primary wall <br />cladding (such as brick, stone, or stucco) or an accent building material (such as wood or <br />metal) that is compatible with the fagade composition. <br />ZADCD n Clerk's \PC Laserfiche Packet \5 -24 -12 PC Packet \FINAL PC 13OOK25.18.12_clean.docx <br />Page 38 5/18/2012 <br />50 <br />
