This Section 23.49.165 applies only in DMR zones in South Downtown. For a structure that exceeds 85 feet in height, façade modulation is required for the portion of a street-facing facade above 45 feet in height if any part of the façade above that height is located less than 10 feet from street lot lines and the façade above that height exceeds a length of 110 feet measured parallel to street lot lines. Projections from the street-facing façade or any other façade, such as balconies, within 10 feet of street lot lines or their projection, are included in this measurement of length. If façade modulation is required, a portion of the façade with a minimum length of 30 feet must be set back a minimum of 10 feet from street lot lines at all levels above 45 feet.
