o The design of the proposed development is distinctively
architecturally superior. Architecturally superior
features may include, but are not limited to features
such as the building being detailed in such a way as to
reinforce pedestrian scale by articulating the separate
floor levels and by increasing the level of detail of the
first floor; layering in the building structure of
architectural elements and details designed to add
interest and reduce the apparent mass of the building;
roof elements of the structure are designed as an
integral component of the form of the building, its
mass, and façade with building form enhanced where
possible by offsetting roof plans, eave heights and
rooflines; the mass and scale of buildings respect the
visual and physical relationship to adjacent buildings;
and, provides an opportunity for variation and
articulation in the scale and form of structures within a
Planning Area.
o The proposed exceptions are design solutions that
implement the intent of the Specific Plan, the objectives
of the Community Core District and the adopted Design
Guidelines.
o Granting of an exception will have a beneficial impact
and does not adversely affect development.
