Mixed-use and multifamily buildings must visibly vary in at least one significant aspect so <br />that they are clearly not identical as viewed from public streets. Aspects can include forms, <br />massing and the composition and articulation of exterior building materials, colors, <br />fenestration patterns, building entries, weather protection features, and rooflines. <br />B. Residential stoops. While individual stoops on one building may have a consistent design <br />and form, the stoops on each building must be distinct from those in adjacent buildings. <br />Specifically, stoops at different buildings must employ some combination of different stoop <br />height and/or width, stairs, railings, materials, detailing, overhangs, and/or planter design. <br />
