c. Recessed façade plane to accommodate a building entry with a minimum ground
plane area of 24 square feet. Where an awning or entry covering is provided, it can extend beyond the wall plane;
d. An exterior arcade that provides a sheltered walkway within the building
footprint with a minimum depth of eight feet. For a façade 50 feet or greater, the arcade must be a minimum length of 65 percent of the full building façade; for a facade less than 50 feet, the arcade must be a minimum of 80 percent of the full building façade.
e. Ground floor open area abutting street-facing façade with a minimum area of 60
square feet; or
f. Vertical elements, such as pilasters or columns, that protrude a minimum of one
foot from the façade and extend the full height of the building base or ground floor,
whichever is greater.
At intervals of no more than 40 feet along the building façade, horizontal eaves shall be
broken using at least one of the following strategies:
a. Gables;
b. Building projection with a depth of a minimum of two feet;
c. Change in façade or roof height of a minimum of two feet;
d. Change in roof pitch or form; ore. Inclusion of dormers, parapets, and/or varying cornices.

The ground-floor façade of a parking structure facing a street or pedestrian walkway shall be fenestrated on a minimum of 40 percent of the façade.
Façade openings on upper levels of a parking structure shall be screened at a minimum
10 percent and up to 30 percent of the opening to prevent full transparency into the
structure.
Parking structures facing a street and greater than 40 feet in length shall include landscaping between the building façade and the street, or façade articulation of at least 25 percent of the façade length. The façade articulation shall be implemented by one of the following solutions:

d. The use of at least two different façade materials, each covering a minimum of 20
percent of the street-facing façade, or
e. The upper floor shall implement a façade height that is a minimum of two feet
greater than the façade height of the floor immediately below. The greater façade
height shall be made evident by taller windows or arrangement of combined windows.

one story by incorporating any combination of the following architectural solutions to
achieve a minimum of 16 points:
Architectural features, such as:
Skylights shall have a flat profile rather than domed.

the total roof length at the street-facing façade. The dormer width shall be measured at

and top of the building on any street-facing façade. Each of these elements shall be distinguished from one another using at least two of the following solutions:
a. Variation in building mass for a minimum of 60 percent of the length of the street-
facing façade through changes in the façade plane that protrude or recess with a
minimum dimension of two feet;
b. Balconies or habitable projections with a minimum depth of two feet for a minimum of 20 percent length of the street-facing façade;
