The purpose of this chapter is to assist all involved in the design of new buildings, structures, walkways, plazas, lighting, or other miscellaneous items identified herein or the alteration of existing buildings, structures, walkways, plazas, lighting, or other miscellaneous items identified herein in order to develop and promote Leavenworth’s Old World Bavarian Alpine theme. [Ord. 1609 § 1 (Att. A), 2020; Ord. 1374 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1164 § 1, 2001; Ord. 1157 § 1, 2001.]
14.08.020 Applicability.
A. Within all of the commercial zone districts of the city and the city’s urban growth area, the following shall conform in exterior design to the Old World Bavarian Alpine theme, to the greatest extent practicable:
1. New buildings, structures, walkways, plazas, lighting, or other miscellaneous items identified herein;
2. Additions, substantial alterations and individual changes to structures and buildings; and
3. Modifications to walkways, plazas, lighting and other miscellaneous items identified herein.
B. For purposes of subsection (A) of this section, the term “substantial alteration” shall be defined as any interior and/or exterior alteration of an existing building or structure, the total cost of which (including but not limited to electrical, mechanical, plumbing and structural changes) within any 18-month period equals or exceeds 75 percent of the value of that building or structure at the time that a permit is applied for. The value shall be determined by using a contractor’s estimate for construction or the IBC construction estimates and either the most recent assessed value as stated in the Chelan County assessor’s current year tax records or an appraisal submitted by a licensed real estate appraiser. The estimate and the appraisal shall be dated no later than six months prior to the date of permit submittal.
C. When a permit for new construction and/or an addition is applied for, the entire structure and/or addition shall comply with all of the requirements of this chapter except as follows:
1. For zero lot line buildings, at a minimum, partial-pitched roofs which comply with the requirements of LMC 14.08.040(B) shall be incorporated on all sides of the structure which front on a street and/or alley. At a minimum, the partial-pitched roof shall span the entire length of the wall fronting on the public street and/or alley and shall extend 16 feet from the perimeter edge of the structure back toward the center of the structure, which measurement shall not include that portion overhanging the edge of the structure.
D. When a permit for a substantial alteration is applied for, the entire structure, including all existing components, shall comply with all of the requirements of this chapter, with the exception of roof and wall treatments, which at a minimum shall comply with the following:
1. If the substantial alteration is equal to or greater than 75 percent of the value of the structure (using the valuation methodologies and time frame in subsection (B) of this section), the following requirements shall apply:
a. If the existing roof is not in conformance with the requirements of this chapter, it shall be replaced on all sides of the structure which front on a street and/or alley with a partial-pitched roof which complies with the requirements of LMC 14.08.040(B). The partial-pitched roof shall span the entire length of the wall fronting on the public street and/or alley and shall extend 16 feet from the perimeter edge of the structure back toward the center of the structure, which measurement shall not include that portion overhanging the edge of the structure.
b. If the existing wall treatment is not in conformance with the requirements of this chapter, the entire surface of those walls of the structure which front on a public street shall be resurfaced with wall treatment which complies with the requirements of LMC 14.08.040(C). The remaining walls of the structure (which do not front on a public street) shall not be required to be resurfaced with a compliant wall treatment, but shall be painted in an identical or complementary color to the compliantly surfaced walls. This exception to wall treatment requirements applies only to the wall surfacing materials; all other requirements of this chapter, including, but not limited to, decorative windows, doors, and trims shall apply.
E. Every change to an exterior element of a structure, including, but not limited to, doors, windows, wall finishes, paint, roofing materials, and/or structural elements shall comply with the requirements of this chapter unless such change is routine maintenance and repair; in which case, it may be repaired with a material which is identical to that of the original materials or a material which is determined equally or more compliant by the community development director or designee, pursuant to LMC 14.08.030(J). The painting of a new or existing building in a color different from the color originally approved shall require approval by the design review board.
F. Noncompliant Structures. A determination of the compliance or noncompliance of the structure shall be made by making application to the design review board, which shall render findings of fact in making this determination.
1. Moving Noncompliant Structures. An existing structure which is not compliant with the Old World Bavarian Alpine theme shall not be relocated to the commercial zone districts or be moved from one place to another within the commercial zone districts. Except, if a structure can be determined to be compliant with minor improvements which do not exceed 25 percent of the value, (using the valuation methodologies in subsection (B) of this section), the structure shall be allowed to be relocated subject to compliance with conditions placed on the permit by the design review board. To ensure that when a structure is placed it shall comply completely and in a timely manner with the permit requirements, the applicant shall be required to bond for all improvements at 150 percent of the total value (using valuation methodologies in subsection (B) of this section) and all improvements shall be completed within 120 days of the date of permit approval. Noncompliance will result in a requirement for the property owner to remove the structure.
G. Change in Use or Occupancy. A change of use or occupancy which results in physical changes to the structure shall be treated as either new construction, a substantial alteration or changes to individual elements in accordance with how the said change or changes meets the thresholds described in subsections (B) through (F) of this section and shall be held to the requirements as delineated therein with the following exceptions:
1. An existing single-family residential structure which converts to another use and undergoes a change of use or occupancy, pursuant to the building code, shall be treated as new construction and shall comply with the requirements of this chapter applicable to new construction; except the roof shall not be required to be brought into compliance; however, fascia shall be trimmed with materials which comply with the requirements of this chapter.
a. When roof materials and/or structural roof components are replaced in a manner which is not routine maintenance and repair (e.g., a patch job), the materials and structural components shall comply with the requirements of LMC 14.08.040(B). [Ord. 1609 § 1 (Att. A), 2020; Ord. 1374 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1157 § 1, 2001.]
14.08.025 Exemptions.
Temporary structures used for festivals and events may include white or solid-colored tents with no signage (or lettering). [Ord. 1609 § 1 (Att. A), 2020.]
14.08.030 Design review board review.
A. No building or structure (regardless of the size), walkway, plaza, lighting or other miscellaneous items identified herein shall be placed, constructed, changed, altered, added to, and/or undergo a change in occupancy status pursuant to the building code in any commercial zone district without first obtaining design review board approval and a permit. All applications for permits for construction, changes, alterations, additions, and/or changes of use of buildings, structures, walkways, plazas, lighting, or other miscellaneous items identified herein shall first be submitted to and be reviewed and approved by the design review board, who shall determine if the application is compliant with this chapter for the Old World Bavarian Alpine theme.
B. All applications for permits required by this chapter shall be accompanied by a complete set of plans and blueprints clearly defining the construction, changes, alterations, or remodeling and stating the proposed location, dimension, and types of construction and design. The plans and blueprints shall be drawn to scale and shall clearly define the roofing materials and siding materials to be used and also the finish, paint or other materials to be used or applied on all exterior walls, trims, and other details and shall state a contemplated date of commencement and completion of the project, and shall become the property of the city upon submission of the application. All applications submitted shall be accompanied by payment of a permit fee for the amount identified in the city’s fee schedule.
C. The applicant shall submit an accurate colored rendering of the proposal. The colored rendering shall either be done in a form of paint, colored pencils, colored pens, or be computer-generated. Paint chips or paint samples shall be submitted with the colored rendering for all colors included in the rendering.
D. In determining whether the proposed placement, construction, change, addition, or alteration conforms to exterior design of the Old World Bavarian Alpine theme, the design review board shall consider the compatibility of the proposed exterior design with the existing design review board approved Bavarian structures and designs in the commercial zone districts of the city and the city’s urban growth area and may, in addition, consult the following publications which contain many examples of architecture, including some examples that are specific to the Old World Bavarian Alpine theme:
1. “Bayern in Bildern.” Illustrations of Bavaria. Munchen, L. Muller (1971);

E. Copies of the above publications and similar related reference works shall be kept on hand by the city for review by applicants and by members of the design review board.
F. An applicant may submit a preliminary sketch prior to furnishing a complete application for review at a regularly scheduled design review board meeting. Following review by the board, the applicant shall complete the application as directed by the board in accordance with this chapter.
G. Design review applications shall be processed in accordance with the quasi-judicial review process, pursuant to Chapter 21.09 LMC. In order to schedule a design review board meeting, a complete application shall be received by the community development department at least 10 working days prior to the meeting.
H. Changes to a design review board approved design, which are subsequently proposed after the initial approval of the design review board permit, shall require submission of an application to the design review board for approval prior to construction of the change.
I. Supporting reference materials shall be supplied to the design review board by the applicant at the request of the board.
J. When design review is applicable under LMC 14.08.020, the community development director or designee may administratively approve, conditionally approve or deny individual components of a project, listed below, when not associated with a larger project that would require design review board review. However, the community development director has the discretion to consult with the design review board or require the application or portions of the application to be presented to the design review board for review and approval.
1. Retaining walls, landscaping structures, landscaping planter sign bases, lighting, fences or fence-type walls, garbage enclosures, walkways, plazas, publicly owned equipment, or similar structures.
2. Changes to the individual exterior elements (LMC 14.08.020) which collectively do not exceed five percent of the value of the structure (using the valuation methodologies and time frame in LMC 14.08.020(B)). Approval shall be subject to the standards contained in this chapter.
3. Moving approved signs which meet the design standards of LMC 14.08.080.
4. Repair of structures with identical materials to the original materials or a material which is determined equally or more compliant by the community development director.

5. Design elements for sidewalk use permits, streateries, and other similar components.
6. Other project or site components identified in and designated in the Old World Bavarian Alpine portfolio as administratively approvable.
The community development director or designee within the authority conferred by this subsection (J) shall grant, condition or deny approval using the same design elements, including the portfolio, as the design review board.
K. The applicant or a representative of the applicant shall be in attendance at the design review board meeting for an application to be reviewed by the design review board.
L. Chelan County has adopted the city’s codes within the city’s urban growth area, including this chapter, Old World Bavarian Alpine Theme. The city’s design review board will perform reviews of applications for projects located in the urban growth area and relay its findings to the county for inclusion in the county decision-making process. The county is the decision-making authority within the geographic boundary of the city’s urban growth area. [Ord. 1659 § 1 (Att. A), 2022; Ord. 1609 § 1 (Att. A), 2020; Ord. 1485 § 1 (Att. A), 2014; Ord. 1374 § 1 (Exh. A), 2010; Ord. 1164 § 2, 2001; Ord. 1157 § 1, 2001.]
14.08.035 Design review permit – Conditions and effect.
Architectural design review permits issued on the basis of plans and applications approved by the design review board or administrative official (as applicable) authorize only the arrangement and design set forth in such approved plans and applications, and no other use, arrangement, design or construction.
Use, arrangement, design or construction at variance with that authorized shall be deemed violation of this title and punishable as provided in Chapter 21.13 LMC. [Ord. 1609 § 1 (Att. A), 2020; Ord. 1476 § 1 (Att. A), 2014.]
14.08.040 Design elements.
The design review board, in granting or denying approval of a permit in accordance with this chapter, should consider the following criteria. This list is intended to serve as a guide for prospective developers of representative Old World Bavarian design features which have proven effective on commercial buildings in the city. The following design elements shall be incorporated, as applicable, in design proposals brought before the Leavenworth design review board to implement the Old World Bavarian Alpine theme in the city of Leavenworth. A minimum of three decorative design details (in addition to structural elements) shall be included on a building or structure. Decorative design details include, but are not limited to, painted trim, decorative fascia, window treatments, balconies, and murals.
A. Typical building shapes and streetscapes, see Portfolio Chapter A.
1. Buildings are square, rectangular, and/or combinations thereof.
2. Projecting window bays, ecker or sections of balcony may be added.
3. Adjoining Structures. Consideration of where structures join or how rooflines meet or overhang should be considered.
4. Nontraditional buildings or market-type buildings pose special challenges to this design theme. They must, however, include traditional Bavarian design elements and materials.
B. Roofs, see Portfolio Chapter B.
1. Low-Pitched Roof. The single most defining shape of Bavarian Alpine architecture is the low-pitched roof with expansive overhangs, regardless of building size. An alpine roof is designed to hold snow for insulation and safety.
2. Expansive Overhangs. The overhangs deal with ice buildup and help keep the area right next to the structure free of snow.
3. Primary roofs have a pitch of 3:12 to 6:12. On occasion, there will be projects that warrant steeper or lower pitches; these will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
4. Roof overhangs are expansive on the front and sides and usually require rafter and lookout beams. Typical overhangs are 24 inches or more on the sides and 36 inches or more at the front with the back reflecting either the side or front. “Expansive” shall be determined by the design review board based on the building size and overall design to balance the building. For example, larger buildings will have larger overhangs. Large: four feet on sides, and six feet or more on front overhangs are encouraged and increase the appeal of a building’s roof aesthetic.
5. Lookout or rafter beams shall be scrolled and/or have decorative faceplates (pfettenbretter). The scrolling shall be traditional Rococo, Baroque or folk designs. Lookout beams shall not extend beyond the fascia.
6. Face plates (pfettenbretter) shall be behind the fascia.
7. Pitched Roof Materials.
a. Tile, simulated tile, standing seam metal, high-profile asphalt shingles, composite wood-appearance shake/shingles or heavy shakes (when approved by the fire district) are acceptable. Copper as a roof or as an accent roof is also typical. “High-profile” means the depth of the shingle overlay or the distance from the top of a shingle or layer to the top of the overlaying shingle or layer. For highly visible areas, high-profile asphalt roofing shall have a depth of at least one-quarter inch.
b. Acceptable colors for standing seam metal are clay red (to mimic terra-cotta tile), brown, green (to mimic oxidized copper) or gray. Acceptable colors for tile or asphalt shingle are red, gray, or brown earth tones (to mimic wood shingles).
c. Unacceptable materials include galvanized metal, overlap metal, plain shingles, and profileless (less than one-quarter-inch) asphalt shingles.
8. Fascia shall be scrolled or multiple profile. Other designs from Bavaria may be approved by the board. “Multiple profile” means a minimum of three layers of wood with each overlapping layer being shorter than the previous. Differing depth of each layer is also common. If a scrolled layer is incorporated, a minimum of three layers shall be used, not including the drip edge. Scrolling shall be traditional Rococo, Baroque or folk designs.
9. When snow guards are used or intended to be used, they shall be included in the overall design review approval. Preferred styles are turned logs, tab style to match the roof or bar style but not bent (“v” shaped) metal.
10. If roof rafters are exposed (open soffit), the underside of the roof covering shall be one of the following materials to mimic traditional Bavarian exterior: resawn woods, tongue and groove boards (beveled or plain), plywood mimicking solid wood, solid wood, or exterior finish sheathing. Additional fire protection measures may be required by the fire and building codes.
C. Walls, see Portfolio Chapter C. Wall treatments shall consist of the following:
1. Stucco or stucco-like material. Stucco should have minimal or concealed expansion joints, which will be emphasized during project review;
2. Wood, typically the whole building or on the upper level of a first-level stucco base building;
3. A combination of stucco for the first floor and wood for additional floors;
4. Slate, stacked stone or other rectangular rock/stone (not river rock) is usually at the foundation;
5. Unacceptable materials or methods are (see Portfolio Chapter K):
a. Metal siding;
b. Stucco board, or panelized preapplied stucco, except that the use of cementitious panel may be allowed for adjoining buildings, and when the walls being covered with cementitious panel will not be generally visible;
c. Half timbering (generally defined as one-half round or timber frame with panel infill);
d. Concrete block (cracked or plain). If concrete block is used, it shall be stuccoed.
6. Retaining walls, landscaping structures, permanent or semi-permanent (because of size and/or weight) landscape planters, landscaping planter sign bases, and similar structures may be constructed of stucco, landscaping timbers, stacked stone, irregularly shaped rock, large boulders, poured concrete, split-faced concrete block landscaping stones, or other new materials as approved by the design review board. Cultured stone that has the appearance of stone, irregularly shaped rock or large boulders is acceptable.
a. Unacceptable material includes railroad ties and round river rock.
7. Fences or fence-type walls may be constructed of decorative metal, wrought iron, wood, stone, stucco, irregularly shaped rock, poured concrete, split-faced concrete block stones, or other new materials as approved by the design review board. Cultured stone that has the appearance of stone, irregularly shaped rock or large boulders is acceptable.
a. Unacceptable materials are round river rock and chain-link fencing, except chain-link may be approved as follows:
i. When required by state or federal law.
ii. When deemed necessary by a public safety official for public safety purposes.
iii. When used for security purposes on property owned and/or leased by a public entity.
iv. When used as temporary construction fencing.
v. At the community development director’s discretion, they may require that shielding components be incorporated into the fencing, apply time limits to the installation, and/or apply other conditions as determined necessary to mitigate impacts.
D. Balconies, see Portfolio Chapter D. Balconies are optional. Where architectural balconies not intended for actual use are proposed, they shall have an apparent means of access, i.e., a door or false door, or large window. If balconies are present, they shall contain traditional design elements, such as:
1. Heavy beam supports;
2. Scrolled slats;
3. Flower boxes (optional).
E. Doors and doorways, see Portfolio Chapter E. A handcrafted wood door is preferred.
1. Doors are constructed of wood or materials with a wood-like appearance; however, doors used for utility and/or service entrances (generally not visible from the right-of-way) can be constructed of other materials but shall be colored to blend with adjacent surfaces.
2. Where wood is utilized on the wall surface, the door trim shall be wood. Where stucco is utilized, the stucco shall be wrapped around the inset for the door.
3. Doors frames shall be recessed (not surfaced mounted), preferably three inches or more.
4. Doors, doorways and entryways like vestibules or porticos are often arched. The arched doorway or entryway should be constructed of wood or stucco.
F. Windows, see Portfolio Chapter F. Window treatment options are:
1. White or wood appearance is acceptable if harmonious with surrounding structure;
2. Recessed (preferably three inches), with or without painted decorative trim;
3. Where wood is utilized on the wall surface, the window trim shall be wood or wood appearance. Where stucco is utilized on the wall surface, the recessed window area shall be wrapped in stucco;
4. When shutters are used, they shall be proportional to the window and appear operable. Shutters are desirable when painted trim is not applied;
5. Painted decorative trim;
6. Gridded divisions in the glazing (also known as muntins, simulated grids or divided lites) may be required by the board in proportion to the window size and location. Such grids shall be on the exterior of the window glazing;
7. A minimum of one of the following treatment options, or a combination of options, shall be included:
a. Painted decorative treatments around windows located on stucco walls with Baroque, Rococo, Classical or Bavarian folk art in design;
b. Shutters with or without painted trim;
c. Flower boxes, wood finish or painted;
d. Arched windows;
8. Flush-mounted windows are unacceptable;
9. On occasion, there may be a case for an unadorned window; this will be viewed on a case-by-case basis.
G. Trim, see Portfolio Chapter G. Trim is the least of the design elements, not the focus of the design.
1. Decorative scroll work shall be required on fascia board and/or other trim. In general, scrolling follows traditional or Rococo designs. Design details for scroll work shall be included with the application.
2. Stone can be used in rectangular linear forms for accents. River rock, concrete block (cracked or plain), and irregular stone slabs are unacceptable.
3. Wood shall not be used as trim over stucco.
H. Decorative painting, see Portfolio Chapter H. Designs for murals or art work on exterior walls or around windows and doors shall be presented for design review board approval before application to the building. All murals are subject to design approval by the design review board. Murals may incorporate a sign, or may stand alone. When a sign is incorporated into the mural, then a sign permit and compliance with Chapter 14.10 LMC, Signs, are required.
1. Corner walls may be painted to simulate rectangular stone quoins using a trompe l’oeil style.
2. Three-dimensional painting is encouraged around windows and doors when shutters are not present. Classical as well as Rococo designs should be used.
3. Murals may be of a traditional Bavarian theme. Scenic murals are also acceptable.
4. Mural placement shall be floating rather than framed by trim or other design elements.
5. Murals are accents. The intent is not to cover a complete wall with a mural.
