II. BUILDING DESIGN <br />Exterior Elevations <br />Fig. 28: Offsets, changes in materials, and <br />other fine detailing are used to provide <br />architectural interest. <br />14. The exterior elevations of buildings should <br />incorporate design features such as offsets, changes in <br />materials and shapes, to preclude large expanses of <br />uninterrupted building surfaces. <br />Additionally: <br />15. Structures shall not have an unbroken wall longer <br />than 60 feet. <br />16. Site design should avoid the dominance of large <br />individual building walls or the cumulative effect of <br />successive smaller building wall repetition. Building <br />separation and modulation should be sufficient to <br />visually break up wall masses. The measures needed <br />to visually break up wall masses will increase as a <br />project increases in size and cumulative building <br />mass. The minimum standards for this guideline are <br />specified in TMC 18.50. <br />d roofs, building modulauo <br />intimate envies introduce a single <br />scale to this dense building. <br />family <br />A trellised envy provides structural <br />transition from pedestrian environment to <br />building mass and helps separate public <br />from sani-private project spaces. <br />19 <br />
