Description
Where building designs incorporate multiple stories, or multiple
3 2B floor height equivalents, integrate at least one field or accent
color, material, or architectural feature used on lower stories,
on the upper stories.
Building designs with multiple stories must provide proportion-
3.2C ally taller ground -level facades adjacent to public roadways and
public spaces. Provide floor -to -ceiling heights, or floor -to -floor
from 10 to 16 feet.

3.2D material changes, horizontal articulation, and modulation
meeting first story requirements, or include a patio, rooftop
garden, penthouse, or strong architectural feature such as a
tower element.
I Goal
3.30
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 wall planes, such as
3.3A 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
3.31) 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.
voor 3.3E
Fenestration Alternative: Incorporate doors and windows for at
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 color or
material change, qualifying modulation such as recessed areas,
architectural trellis, awnings and canopies over access areas,
detached structures such as pergola, or similar architectural
features and details.
Building roof types, forms, and elements should provide variation
and interest to building profiles and contribute to the architectural
Goal identity of the buildings, without creating an imposing scale on
3.40 adjacent uses. Applies to facades: in development along arterial
roadways, visible from residential development, adjacent to public
spaces, facing public entries of adjacent buildings.

Provide at least three detailing elements that transition fagade
material changes or integrate pedestrian scale elements, such
as doorways, windows, or material banding, at the base of the
building. Examples include but are not limited to: cornice work
around primary entries, decorative caps on brick or stone banding,
architectural canopies over entries, or decorative lintels above
the first floor windows.

which articulate the building fagade and provide temporary
relief from inclement weather. At a minimum, an overhang or
projection is required within 20-feet of all public entryways,
must be at least 3-feet in depth from the point of entry, and
be least 6-feet in length. Entryways with vestibules or other

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
roof plane. At least one focal element is required and must be
accented with a unique combination of color, texture, materials,
or modulation in the wall or roof plane.
Building designs must not create blank wall segments when visible
from a public street or public spaces. Consider the treatment at the
base, middle, and top of the fa4ade.
Use any combination of standards from Building Form, Architec-
4.2A tural Elements, or Material sections to provide pattern, color, or
material variation on all wall segments. Must not exceed 30-feet
horizontally or vertically without building variation.
Goal Organize building service equipment, including, but not limited to,
4.30 utility, service, and mechanical, away from building entries, roadways,
public spaces, and, where appropriate, from adjacent buildings.
4.3A
Use and integrate standards from the Architectural Standards
