3. Specific Building Design Standards: i. Building Scale Horizontally: The building massing and form shall be designed to reduce the scale of the building by breaking the horizontal building mass into smaller “bays.” No bay shall be wider than 40 feet. ii. Building Scale Vertically: The building massing and form shall be designed to reduce the scale of the building by breaking the vertical building mass to reduce the perceived height of the building. For example, a stepback at the top floor reduces the visual impact of the height of that floor. iii. Step Back: The fourth floor must step back 12 feet from the front and sides of the third floor. iv. Relationship to Context: Building height and massing should respond to and complement the abutting context by responding to the height of surrounding buildings with a change in building massing, a step back or feature of the architectural design or building -148- materials.
