The intent of this provision is to encourage architectural scale of development that is compatible with nearby areas and add visual interest to buildings. Definitions: • "Architectural scale"is the perceived height and bulk of a building relative to that of neighboring buildings. A building has"good architectural scale" if its visual size is relatively similar to its neighbors. • "Modulation"is a stepping back or projecting forward of portions of a building face, within specified intervals of building width and depth,as a means of breaking up the apparent bulk of a structure's continuous exterior walls. • "Articulation"is visually breaking up a building façade into intervals by including repetitive features, such as broken rooflines, chimneys, entrances, distinctive window patterns, street trees,and modulation. 1. All new buildings in the MUO over three stories or over 5,000 square feet in gross building footprint or with facades longer than 100 feet measured horizontally shall provide at least three modulation and/or articulation features as described below along any façade that is visible from a public street,residential zone or pedestrian pathway, and have entries at intervals of no more than 60 feet. (See Figure 31B.080-8.) All new buildings outside the MUO over three stories, or over 10,000 square feet in gross building footprint, or with front facades longer than 200 feet measured horizontally, shall 51 133
