(B) Articulation and Activation. <br /> Front façades greater than fifty (50) feet in width shall provide <br /> articulation as follows: <br /> a. Vertical articulation, such as bays, columns, pilasters, <br /> recessed entries, awnings, or other architectural <br /> treatments, is required to visually break up the massing <br /> of the façade into segments no greater than 25 feet in <br /> width. <br /> b. Horizontal articulation, such as belt courses, cornice <br /> lines, entablatures, friezes, changes in materials or <br /> window patterns, recessed entries, awnings or canopies, <br /> or other architectural treatments, is required. <br /> ii. For commercial and mixed-use buildings, the minimum front <br /> façade surface that shall be glazed (window and door surface <br /> area) is as follows: <br /> a. Ground floor front façade surface along a primary street <br /> —sixty (60) percent; <br /> b. Ground floor front façade surface along a secondary <br /> street or civic space—forty (40)percent; <br /> c. Upper floor front façade surface along a primary street— <br /> fifteen (15) percent. <br /> The ground floor front facade glazing is calculated based on the <br /> total façade area between two (2) and eight(8) feet above the <br /> finished ground floor level. The upper floor front façade <br /> surface area is calculated based on the total façade area located <br /> between the surface of any floor to the surface of the floor <br /> above it or the elevation of the roof. Windows and doors shall <br /> have clear(untinted) glass and shall be open to the interior(not <br /> faux). <br /> iii.
