015 • This shall not apply to the CBD Central Business District zoning classification except as located within the Town of Broadway. 10.7.3 BUILDING DESIGN STANDARDS. 10.7.3.1 SCALE. One of the most important concerns regarding development within our gateway corridors is to ensure that new buildings or structures are designed so as to conform to the built environment in terms of massing and location. The location and height of all proposed structures shall be designed so as to maintain an appropriate sense of scale (proportional relationship between building and spaces to people) as established by existing development along a given corridor. New structures shall be designed so as to be in conformity with the surrounding environment. Large expanses of building mass shall be avoided, however, where large structures are necessary, mass shall be broken by the use of setbacks, projecting and recessed elements and other similar design techniques. 10.7.3.2 BUILDING LINE. Buildings shall be located on the site such that the fagade closest to the adjoining thoroughfare or freeway will be consistent with the established building line along a given street corridor. If such a building line is not clearly established, then the front building line shall be located somewhere between the closest and deepest building lines as measured parallel to the street corridor's right -of -way for a distance of 500 feet in each direction. If it is determined that this § 10.7.3.2 cannot be complied with due to existing physical or topographic constraints which cannot be reasonably corrected, the Administrator shall have the authority to waive this requirement.
