1. Equipment Standard. Mechanical equipment, lights, emissions, shipping/receiving areas, and other components of an industrial use that are outside of an enclosed building shall be located away from abutting Residential Zones, schools, parks and other nonindustrial zoned areas as practicable;

2. Buffering Standard. The City may require a landscape buffer of a specific width, or other visual and/or sound barrier (fence, wall, landscaping, or combination of such measures), to mitigate adverse impacts that cannot be avoided through building orientation standards alone. For additional buffering standards see BDC 2.4.800(C).

1. Building Mass. Where building elevations are oriented to the street, architectural features such as windows, pedestrian entrances, building offsets, projections, detailing, change in materials or similar features shall be used to break up large building facades and walls that are longer than 75 linear feet. A minimum of 15 percent of the horizontal building facade shall contain a variety of architectural features.

The horizontal building elevation facing an arterial or collector street shall provide a variety of the architectural features described above for a minimum of 30 percent of the horizontal building facade.
