Building design should address building scale, mass, form, and use a
variety of materials and architectural features to ensure an aesthetic
contribution compatible with surrounding buildings.
Maintain consistent and contiguous pedestrian environments
across developments. Limit circuitous connections and maintain
clear visibility.
Provide pedestrian connections to non -private public spaces.
Incorporate architectural features on all sides of a building
fagade facing: the primary entrance(s) of an adjacent building,
public roadways, interior site amenities, and fagades that are
visible from public spaces. See Architectural Elements, Building
Form, and Materials sections.
Buildings must orient, frame, and/or direct pedestrian views to
adjacent cultural buildings, parks, and plazas.
Design and orient buildings not to impede access. The build- I

Description
Development should consider the scale of surrounding buildings,
including relationships to existing residential areas, as well as an
appropriate height, mass, and form scaled for the built environment.
Applies to fagades of development along public roads, public spaces,
and adjacent to residential areas.
Buildings with rooflines SO -feet in length or greater must incor-
porate roofline and parapet variations. Variations may include
step-downs, step -backs, other modulation, or architectural
features such as cornices, ledges, or columns, and must occur
in total combination for at least 20% of the facade length. May
be averaged over entire facade, but may not exceed 75-feet
without a break.
For buildings with fa4ades longer than 200-feet, reduce massing
of buildings by grouping or incorporating smaller tenant spaces
along the commercial facade, or by incorporating at least one
significant modulation with depth at least 3%of the total facade
length or 10-feet, and a width in combination at least 20% of
the facade length.
Within Old Town, building designs must provide a building scale
of two or more stories at least 25-feet in height along roadways.
Within mixed use areas and for all developments along arterial
roadways, buildings over 1,000 sgft must provide a minimum
20-foot building elevation to include average parapet height,
ridge of a pitched roof, or tower/turret type elements at least
20% in total of overall facade width.
Goal Physically configure building designs to reduce disproportioned
2.20 architectural scale relative to adjacent uses. Applies to facades of
development along public roads, public spaces, and residential areas.
2.2A
For adjacent buildings with greater than 1-story height disparity
(i.e. — two or more stories difference) and within 30-feet of each
other, integrate and align parapet designs, material changes,
fenestration alignment, material reveals, or other architectural
elements and horizontal articulation, to relate varying building
heights to one another. Aligned features do not have to be the
same type (i.e. window pattern on one could align with parapet
on another).
