Buildings with exterior walls greater than sixty feet <br />in length in the LI zone and one hundred feet in length in the HI zone shall be required <br />to provide architectural modulation, in accordance with the following standards: <br />a. Vertical Articulation. Vertical articulation is required to distinguish the <br />building’s upper and lower levels of front and side street (corner) facades. <br />Examples of vertical articulation include cornice lines, awnings or canopies, <br />changes in materials or window patterns, recessed entries, reveals, or other <br />architectural treatments. <br />b. Horizontal Articulation. Horizontal articulation is required to visually break <br />up the massing of the ground floor of the front and side street (corner) facades <br />into segments no greater than sixty feet in width for the LI2 zone and one <br />hundred feet in width for the HI zone. Examples of horizontal articulation <br />include bays, mullions, columns, piers, pilasters, recessed entries, awnings, or <br />other architectural treatments. <br />c. The planning director may allow use of other methods to achieve the intent <br />of the vertical/horizontal articulation standards. This includes use of landscaping <br />which breaks up flat expanses of building walls, or a combination of techniques <br />providing the desired effect. <br />3. Building Entrance and Window Design. <br />a. Building Entrances. Primary building entrances should be easily identifiable <br />and relate to human scale.
