Use materials from the following basic groups: wood, masonry, concrete, stucco, metal, and glazing. ' _ For buildings with fayades that face multiple public roadways nU S.IA and/or public spaces, use consistent material combinations, material quality, and architectural detailing. For all facade elevations visible from public roads, public spaces, primary entrances) of an adjacent building, and facing residential 5.113 districts, use at least two distinct field materials, colors, or material -color combinations on the building facade (see also Material definitions). For facade elevations visible from public roadways and along S.1D primary building entryways, incorporate an accent material on the first story. Distinguish field materials from accent materials through pat - roadway. Alternate masonry or material courses with relief from primary plane may count toward this. Where materials transition or terminate, provide detailing to .IF express the natural appearance of the material. For example, wrap stone or stone -like products around visible corners to convey the appearance of mass, and not as a thin veneer.
