4. Building massing and articulation should break down the scale of the <br /> buildings, provide a rhythm, and ensure that buildings have a human scale <br /> • Long building facades (over 400 feet) should include a massing break or major <br /> recess at each 300 feet. (See Objective Design Standards for Housing Sites, <br /> Standard B.1.2 for reference) <br /> • Buildings shall have an articulated rhythm that generally reflects the pattern of <br /> the residential units within. (See illustration, below) <br /> • While initial dimensional standards to meet the above standards are illustrated <br /> below, a fagade may incorporate breaks or change in pattern through alternative <br /> means, such as using an element of different material, color and architectural <br /> treatment, in lieu of providing a physical massing break. However, this approach <br /> should be used sparingly, for example when a portion of the facade is used to <br /> highlight the entry or another important feature. In such instances, higher quality <br /> materials or special design treatments should be used. <br /> ENCROACHMENTINTO <br /> STEPBACKS IS ALLOWED <br /> UP TO 20% OF FRONTAGE: <br /> X+Y< 20%(Z1+Z2) <br /> X MASSING <br /> _ BREAK: <br /> 25'-0"MIN. <br /> BUILDING <br /> STEPRACK '," _..
