As such, the exterior appearance of the buildings should <br /> include elements of buildings found along the corridor and in the Central <br /> Business District. <br /> Facades should be articulated to reduce the massive scale and uniform <br /> impersonal appearances of large retail buildings and provide visual interest. <br /> Buildings over 100 feet in length should incorporate recesses, off-sets, <br /> pilasters or angular forms so that no uninterrupted length exceeds 50 feet. <br /> The wall projection or recess should be a depth of approximately 3% of the <br /> length of the uninterrupted building length. Buildings should have <br /> • architectural features and patterns that provide visual interest at a <br /> pedestrian scale. The features should be an integral part of the building <br /> fabric, and not be applied trim, graphics or paint. Variations to roof lines and <br /> cornice details should also be used to add interest to buildings. <br /> Exterior building materials and colors comprise a significant part of the <br /> visual impact of a building. Therefore, they should be aesthetically pleasing <br /> and compatible with materials and colors used in the Central Business <br /> District and along east Main Street Facade colors should be subtle, neutral <br /> or earth tone colors.
