Goal 2.1B - For Buildings with facades longer than 200-feet, reduce massing of buildings by grouping or
incorporating smaller tenant spaces along the commercial façade, or by incorporating at least one
significant modulation with depth at least 3% of the total façade length or 10-feet, and a width in
combination at least 20% of the façade length
Response: Our approach to the reduction of massing was through the use of the illusion via the
‘grouping by incorporating smaller tenant spaces’ method by means of utilizing building
elevation modulation in combination with material/color changes (heavy/dark and light) and
lush landscaping that accents the building modulation at the relevant elevations (North and
South). The lush landscaping provides the element of depth to the façades that add to the
pedestrian experience and assist in reducing the feeling of mass.
DECISION
The applicant's request for Certificate of Zoning Compliance and Design Review, with
exceptions to certain design standards as noted above, is approved with the conditions listed in
this report.
