d. The overall color scheme shall work to reduce building prominence and shall blend in <br />with the natural environment. <br />e. <br />16 <br />Exterior building materials include metal panels, glass, brick and concrete. Wood grained <br />metal panels are used at the entries and at the top of the building. Brick is used on the <br />podium and is reflective of Westfield Southcenter Mall and provides a pedestrian scale at <br />the base of the building. The two metal panels "Sandstone" and "Surrey Beige" do not <br />display sufficient differentiation and could appear as the same color from a distance.

Otherwise <br />monotonous flat walls and uniform vertical planes of individual buildings shall be <br />broken up with building modulation, stairs, decks, railings, and focal entries. <br />Multiple building developments shall use siting and additional architectural variety <br />to avoid inappropriate repetition of building designs and appearance to surrounding <br />properties. <br />Page 12 of 19 <br />
