h. Common parking garage design standards: <br /> (1) Garages shall meet setback requirements specified in Table 1. <br /> (2) Parking structure openings shall not exceed fifty percent of the total ground <br /> floor façade visible from the street. For purposes of this standard, the ground <br /> floor is the floor of a structure that is closest in elevation to the finished grade <br /> along the facade of the structure. <br /> (3) Buildings containing above-grade structured parking shall screen such parking <br /> areas with landscaped berms or incorporate contextual architectural elements <br /> that complement adjacent buildings or buildings in the area to the satisfaction of <br /> the planning director. Upper level parking garages must use articulation or <br /> fenestration treatments that break up the massing of the garage and/or add visual <br /> interest. <br /> DON'T DO THIS DO THIS <br /> [ l l -NimiWeim <br /> MEIN <br /> I I I r 1' <br /> 1 -_=11 <br /> - <br /> ., -- <br /> i _ ,.--- <br /> ___ <br /> Building appears to float over Parking is hidden from view <br /> parking by screening <br /> Figure 21.
