Goal Building design should address building scale, mass, form, and use a
1.11 variety of materials and architectural features to ensure an aesthe c
contribu on compa ble with surrounding buildings.

1.1A across developments. Limit circuitous connec ons and maintain
clear visibility.

1.1C
1.1D
Provide pedestrian connec ons to non -private public spaces.
Incorporate architectural features on all sides of a building
fa4ade facing: the primary entrance(s) of an adjacent building,
public roadways, interior site ameni es, and fagades that are
visible from public spaces. See Architectural Elements, Building
Form, and Materials sec ons.
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-
1.1E ing should enhance the appeal of open space and pedestrian
environments
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
(A 1.2A elements that were included as part of a Development Agree-
ment, Condi onal Use Permit, and/or other requirements as
part of prior approval.
Comments
no applicable cultural buildings, parks, or
