The design standards apply to the sections of buildings or structures that require design review and are “located adjacent to or within 300 feet of and could reflect areas with a General Plan land use designation of CR, PR, NA, or AG, any open waterway mapped in the City-wide Creeks and Wetlands Management Plan, or any area deemed by the Zoning Administrator to need consideration for bird-safe design due to proximity to natural features.”
Windows within 40 feet above grade must have 90 percent of all glazing and follow the 2” x 4” rule: “spaces of untreated glazing must have a maximum height of two inches and a maximum width of four inches.”
Solutions include fritted windows, patterned windows, UV pattern film, window nets and window screens, or products recommended and approved by the American Bird Conservancy
