The existence of sufficient variety in the design of the structure and grounds to avoid monotony in the external appearance. The building is designed in a Mediterranean style and utilizes articulated elevations, varied roof heights and a mix of materials to break up the massing, height, and scale. The building contains numerous and well-proportioned windows, openings, and glazing. The massing would utilize material transitions, recesses, and bump outs for architectural interest and to break up the massing. B. The size and design of the structure shall be considered for the purpose of determining that the structure is in proportion to its building site and that it has a balance and unity among its external features so as to present a harmonious appearance. The building is designed with a consistent architectural style throughout each elevation, is well-proportioned, and allows for landscaping and open space at the building’s perimeter and interior courtyard area, which creates a balanced and harmonious appearance. The proposal provides articulated elevations, mixed earth tone colors and materials, varied roof heights, and mixed entry styles to provide visual interest. The Project complies with applicable development standards that address massing and lot coverage, resulting in a design which is proportional to the site. C. The extent to which the structure conforms to the general character of other structures in the vicinity insofar as the character can be ascertained and is found to be architecturally desirable. The Project site is located in the Mixed-Use Corridor and Mixed-Use Transitional zoning districts. The multi-family residential project is compatible and would complement surrounding urban commercial uses and other adjacent residential uses, such as the Radius apartments located adjacent to the project. In addition, the building is designed with quality exterior materials and conforms to the urban environment of the area. D.
