development, which has been formally approved by the City within the surrounding area.

following features of exterior design and appearance:

c. Other significant features of design such as, but not limited to: materials, roof
line, and height or design elements.

character of other buildings or structures in the surrounding area with respect to

the intent and purpose of this article, the Comprehensive Plan for Cape Canaveral and other
applicable federal, State or local laws.
6. Within the C-1, C-2 and M-1 zoning districts, any exterior building or roof color used shall
be well designed and integrated with architectural style of the building and surrounding
landscaping in order to create a subtle and harmonious effect and promote aesthetic
uniformity within the district. Bright or brilliant colors shall not be permitted except for
use as an accent color within the C-1, C-2 or M-1 zoning districts.
