R1.10 with pedestrian scale elements and details.
OIOIOIRI.IB
DIDIDIRI.IC
OIOIOIRI.ID
Maintain consistent and contiguous pedestrian environments
across developments. Limit circuitous connections and maintain
clear visibility.
Provide pedestrian connections to public spaces.
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-
ing should enhance the appeal of open space and pedestrian
environments
Incorporate architectural features on all sides of a building
facade facing: the primary entrance(s) of an adjacent building,
OX O O R1.1E public roadways, interior site amenities, and fagades that are
visible from public spaces. See Architectural Elements, Building
Form, and Materials sections.
Goal within multi -family developments, enhance wayfinding and create
R1.20 a unique identity for each building, by incorporating complimentary
variation in design.
Ensure that no two buildings viewed from a public street or
public space are alike, by varying at least two of the following
XO O O R1.2A for each building: roof pitches, material types, color packages,
structure orientation, or incorporate other unique and identifiable
architectural or landscape element (such as art).

from a public street, public space, and pedestrian environments.
Use a cohesive color scheme featuring a minimum of two field
colors, a trim color, and an accent color or unique material. Garage
door colors must coincide with this scheme or other accents.
For each wall plane area greater than 20-feet in length or height,
and visible from prescribed areas, incorporate at least two distinct
field materials, patterns, or colors in any combination, for at
least 25%of the visible area. Windows or portals with qualifying
accent materials may count toward this requirement, when
meeting overall material requirements for the fagade elevation.
Vinyl siding must include a mix of material patterns, including
