Exterior walls shall incorporate elements that create patterns of façade recession, offsets, and extrusions along the entire length of the façade. For every 200 feet of building length, a recession, offset, and/or extrusion must be incorporated at a minimum of 20 feet in length and five (5) in depth.

On all four sides of each building, roof-mounted equipment shall be screened with materials that are consistent and harmonious with the building's façade and character. Such screening shall be provided in order to conceal the equipment from off-site view and to buffer sound generated by such equipment.

All lighting shall be subject to the Outdoor Lighting section of the zoning ordinance, namely Section 412.

Data Centers are encouraged to implement low-impact development practices in site design and energy efficiency, such as, but not limited to, the following:

Site Design

Select sites that avoid sensitive lands such as wetlands, floodplains, and steep slopes.

Minimize land disturbance.

Maximize tree preservation.

Minimize impervious surfaces.

Minimize potential nuisance impacts (noise, glare, vibration, etc.) on adjacent properties, public roadways, and the vicinity.

Orient buildings to take advantage of passive cooling and daylight opportunities.

Utilize alternative energy sources (solar, wind, hydro, nuclear or other alternative source) as much as possible, subject to obtaining all required governmental approvals and permits.

Provide an energy storage system to monitor and regulate usage of alternative energy for usage during off peak hours.

Encourage systems that limit the use of finite natural resources and their disposal.

Encourage fuel storage that limits impacts on the environment from potential spills.

Install water-efficient landscape materials.

Utilize reclaimed water for cooling.

Implement energy management best practices and carbon reduction techniques such as, but not limited to, those promoted through the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings initiative and U.S.
