• Facade Articulation. Buildings shall not have long, monotonous, uninterrupted walls on any floor of a facade <br />clearly visible from a public right-of-way. Buildings designed with completely flat facades are not permitted. All <br />buildings are required to have horizontal and vertical facade variations such as pop -outs, bays, recesses, arches, <br />banding, reveals, columns, or similar features. Such features are required at least every feet along all exterior <br />wall planes. <br />• Massing. Proper massing reduces the impact of the massive bulk created by large buildings that may not <br />otherwise relate in scale to surrounding development. Vertical articulation, horizontal articulation, and multi - <br />planed roof or awnings must be used in designs to mitigate the impact on surrounding development and the <br />overall landscape. <br />• Height and Roofline. Varied roofline elevations are required in order to add architectural interest and avoid the <br />appearance of long, monotonous roofline expanses. A variation such as varied parapet height or tower is <br />required every N feet of roofline. Also, mechanical equipment mounted on the roof must be screened and the <br />back of parapets must match the color and materials of the building. <br />Built Environments, Inc. <br />City of Ramsey: Proposed Zoning Code Page 3 of 3 <br />
