Large horizontal buildings shall be broken into segments having vertical orientation with alternating front and rear façade setbacks to generate the appearance of smaller individual buildings/units. No more than 30 feet of front or rear building wall is permitted without providing a break in the façade of an acceptable method of articulation.

Buildings with expansive blank walls on any facade are discouraged. Side and rear elevations should receive architectural treatments comparable to front facades.

To the extent practicable, buildings shall be oriented to maximize daylighting of the interior of buildings or outdoor recreation areas.

Exterior-mounted mechanical and electrical equipment exposed to the public view shall be architecturally screened. Roof-mounted equipment and projections should be painted the same color as the roof and, where possible, located to the rear of the building, away from the public view.

Building construction shall utilize green building or sustainable building methods to the extent practicable. While this is consistent with the Township's long-standing tradition of environmental stewardship, it is recognized such strategies may also be utilized to reduce the operating and maintenance costs of low- and moderate-income households.
