or benefit by governmental, cultural, educational, public welfare, religious,

for unusual and iconic design within the urban fabric. Civic buildings should
be designed with prominence and monumentality.
" Civic buildings shall be oriented to streets and public spaces and follow
the design intent of the UDO with regard to pedestrian orientation, massing,
and articulation.
" Key architectural features should act as community focal points. Where
possible, street axes should be terminated by the primary building form or architectural
feature. Towers, spires, and other vertical forms are encouraged.

required by the UDO
" Designs for civic buildings and sites shall be subject to approval by
the Hillsboro Village UDO Advisory Committee and the Metro Planning Commission
