§ 17.138.430 BUILDING MASS AND SCALE.
   (A)   To reduce upper-story building mass, floorplates for the third story and above shall not exceed 80 percent of the ground-floor floorplate. The Planning Director may waive this requirement under the authority established in Chapter 17.044 upon finding the architectural articulation of exterior walls and a sloped roof modulates the visual mass of the top of the building and avoids the appearance of a box-like structure.
   (B)   Buildings that are more than 150 feet in length shall include a minimum two-foot vertical variation in height for at least 50 feet.
