Buildings must be pedestrian in scale, as <br />determined through the design review process. Commercial <br />buildings should include design features such as first-story <br />storefront windows, recessed entries, building details, and <br />awnings. For all buildings, techniques such as dormer windows, <br />stepping back upper floors, and modifying design features <br />between building levels should be used to assist in maintaining an <br />overall horizontal design character. Height standards should <br />allow for and encourage varied roof forms, articulation across <br />rooflines, and architectural features and projections such as <br />cupolas, gables, and towers at corners. <br />Policies LD-P.5 Commercial Frontage.
