<br />1 Q. 7.7
<br />
<br />10-7.7
<br />
<br />c. Facades shall be articulated to reduce the ma.ssive
<br />scale and uniform appearance by incorporating horizontal relief projections and
<br />recesses at minimum horizontal intervals of 40 feet to provide visual interest, changes
<br />in height and relief from long flat walls. Arcades, display windows, entry areas,
<br />awnin,9s or other such features can provide this relief. Changes in color, texture and
<br />material can also serve this purpose.
<br />2. Guidelines
<br />. a. The buil~ing height, mass, sca.le, orientation and
<br />configuration should be compatible with adjacent' land uses and provide for
<br />harmonious and appropriate' transitions where there are differences in character
<br />between di.fferent land uses.
<br />b. A single building complex should be stylistically
<br />compatible. Significant patterns or unifying elements such as architectural style,
<br />materials, colors and form should ~ork toget~er tQ express a single theme and to
<br />achi~ve de~ign harmony and continuity. Pad buildings should match materials of main
<br />buildings. Structures within the overall development should be tied together with
<br />similar and consistent design elements such as roof forms, use of building awnings,
<br />facade articulation and repetitive entry design .elements.
<br />c. All faC?ades of a building which are visible from
<br />adjoining properties and/or public streets or paths 'should be treated with the similar
<br />degree of architectural style and detail of the front elevation.
<br />d. . Roof forms, building height an~ parapet walls should
<br />vary to provide visual interest at building tops. Rooftops should contribute to the
<br />visual continuity of each development and should be considered as design elements
<br />seen from various viewpoints. Avoid rooflines running in continuous planes. Offset
<br />or jog the r~of planes to add visual interest, reduce the scale and break up long,
<br />continuous rooflines. . Design roof forms to correspond ~o, and denote building
<br />elements and functions such as entrances, arcades, porches, etc. .
<br />e. 'The human scale of the site should be promoted
<br />through the use of canopies, overhangs, awnings, windows, decorative detailing,
<br />lighting, planters, seating areas, street furniture and accessories, signage, water
<br />features, landscaping, patterned walkways, public art, bicycle parking, building
<br />materials and other elements which will enhance the human scale emphasis of the
<br />site.
<br />f. Entrywaysto buildings should be emphasized utilizing
<br />archite~tural elements so that they are visible from the street. This can be achieved
<br />- in.a number of ways including: canopies or porticos, overhangs, recesses/projections,
<br />arcades, raised cornice parapets over the doors, peaked roof forms, arches, outdoor
<br />patios, display windows, architectural details.
<br />g. Exterior materials should be sufficiently durable to
<br />ensure stability, maintainability and.. longevity.
