color, material, or architectural feature used on lower StorieS,

Building designs with multiple stories must provide proportion-
ally taller ground -level facades adjacent to public roadways and

material changes, horizontal articulation, and modulation
meeting first story requirements, or Include a patio, rooftop
garden, penthouse, or strong architectural feature such as a

I
Building design should establish visual connections that relate internal
spaces at ground- or street -level with facades adjacent to public
roadways, public spaces, and along primary building entries, and that
add visual interest and complexity to the first floor building design.
Use horizontal and/or vertical divisions in will planes, such as
ledges, awnings, recesses, stringcourse, molding, joint lines,
or other material types, to frame and accent 30% or more of
total fenestration.
Average 30% fenestration for applicable first floor facade, unless
specified elsewhere. May also meet fenestration alternative
(see 3.3E). Big box and buildings in industrial districts may limit
applicable facade area to 30-feet around public entries.
Fenestration Alternative: Incorporate doors and windows forat
least 30% of applicable first floor facade, or suggest their inclu-
sion using faux treatments that Incorporate at least two of the
following: material changes, reveals In conjunction with coloror
material change, qualifying modulation such as recessed areas,

which articulate the building facade and provide temporary
relief from Inclement weather. At a minimum, an overhang or
projection is required within 20-feet of all public entryways,

entries, building corners, or public spaces. Examples Include
but are not limited to: columns, quoin or rustication, canopies
over entries, lintels, transom windows, or modulation of the

accented with a unique combination of color, texture, materials,
or modu cation in the wall or roof plane.
Building designs must not create blank wall segments when visible

base, middle, and top of the fa5ade.
Use any combination of standardsfrom Building Form, Architec-
tural Elements, or Material sectionsto provide pattern, color, or

horizontally or vertically without building variation.
Organize building service equipment, including, but not limited to,
utility, service, and mechanical, awayfrom building entries, roadways,

Manual to screen and conceal service and mechanical equipment,
Landscaping meeting the same Intent may also be considered

Gdatl Use complementary material combinations that contribute to a

groups: wood, masonry, concrete, stucco, metal, and glazing.
For buildings with fagades that face multiple public roadways
S.1A and/or public spaces, use consistent material combinations,
material quality, and architectural detailing.
For all f.3"de elevations visible from public roads, public spaces,
primary entrance(s) of an adjacent building, and facing residential
districts, use at least two distinct field materials, colors, or
material -color combinations on the building fagade (see also
Material definitions).
For fagade elevations visible from public roadways and along
primary building entryways, incorporate an accent material
on the first story.
Distinguish field materials from accent materials through pat-
tern, texture, or additional detail visible from edge of nearest
roadway. Alternate masonry or material courses with relief from
primary plane may count toward this

express the natural appearance of the material. For example,
