Goal Articulate building designs to frame and accentuate public spaces
1.10 with pedestrian scale elements and details.
Goal Building design should address building scale, mass, form, and use a
1.11 variety of materials and architectural features to ensure an aesthetic
contribution compatible with surrounding buildings.
Maintain consistent and contiguous pedestrian environments
1.1A across developments. Limit circuitous connections and maintain
clear visibility.
Goal Design building fagades to express architectural character and
1.20 incorporate the use of design principles to unify developments and
buildings, and relate to adjacent and surrounding uses.
Comply and adhere with all previously required building design
1.2A elements that were included as part of a Development Agree-
ment, Conditional Use Permit, and/or other requirements as
part of prior approval.
Incorporate design principles to include rhythm, repetition, framing,
Goal and/or proportion. Applies to all sides of a building fagade facing
1.30 public roadways, that are visible from residential neighborhoods
or public spaces, or facing the public entry of an adjacent building.
Integrate at least one material change, color variation, or
1.3A horizontal reveal for every 12-vertical feet of building facade;
vertical spacing may be averaged over fagade.
Integrate at least one material change, color variation, or vertical
1.313 reveal every 50-horizontal feet of building fa4ade; horizontal
spacing may be averaged over fagade elevation.

and step backs that articulate wall planes and break up building
mass. Examples include but are not limited to columns with
trim or accent materials, change in finished material depths,
building overhangs, and inset features and materials such as
false windows or fenestration with architectural accents.
Qualifying modulation must be at least 6-inches in depth, be at
least 8-inches in width or height (whichever is narrowest), and
occur in total for 20% of overall fagade elevation. For buildings
with fagades less than 150-feet, horizontal modulation must
occur no less than every 30-feet. For buildings with fagades
greater than or equal to 150-feet, horizontal modulation must
occur no less than every 50-feet.
Incorporate visual and physical distinctions in the building design
that enhance building forms, articulate fagades, identify entries,
integrate pedestrian scale, and visually anchor the building to the
ground or street level. Applies to building facades visible from a
public street or public space, and to fagades with public entries.
For at least 30% of applicable fagades use any combination of
concrete, masonry, stone, or unique variation of color, texture,
or material, at least 10-inches in height, around the base of
the building. May alternatively incorporate other architectural
features such as ledges, fagade reveals, ground level fenestra-
tion, raised planters, or landscaping elements within 3-feet of
finished grade.
Where building designs incorporate multiple stories, or multiple
floor height equivalents, integrate at least one field or accent
color, material, or architectural feature used on lower stories,
on the upper stories.
