In general, project massing should be broken down <br />into discrete building elements and components that <br />reinforce a continuous street-facing urban block pattern. <br />This pattern should be broken by intervening the required <br />publicly accessible open space areas. See Section 4.5. <br /> <br />b. Within this block pattern, individual buildings shall <br />be massed such that individual building planes or <br />architectural masses do not exceed one-hundred-fifty <br />(150) feet in length. <br /> <br />c. The design of buildings shall incorporate a variety of <br />massing and forms to introduce variety at the ground <br />plane and skyline of the project. <br /> <br />5.5 FACADES <br /> <br />a. Street facing facades shall be architecturally enhanced <br />through the use of arcades, colonnades, recessed <br />entrances, window details, bays, variation in building <br />materials, and other details such as cornices and <br />contrasting colors. <br /> <br />b. Building step backs at the upper level of buildings along <br />public rights-of-ways in the Neighborhood Transitional, <br />Village Center, and Active Urban Districts shall be <br />provided as a means to provide building articulation. <br /> <br />Arcade at street level <br /> <br />Upper level setback creates <br />mass articulation <br /> <br /> <br />The building articulation may include private/common <br />open space terraces or roof decks. The minimum upper <br />level setback area shall be 10Ft wide (parallel to the <br />building b;:ade) by 6 Ft deep. <br /> <br />c. Buildings facades shall be articulated through the use <br />of separated wall surfaces, contrasting colors and <br />materials, variations in building setbacks, and attractive <br />window fenestrations. <br /> <br /> <br />melro eosl mixed use overloy zone <br /> <br />11 A-42 <br /> <br />
