What Compatibility Means
The term “compatibility” refers the characteristics of different uses or activities or design which allow them to be located near or adjacent to each other in harmony.
Compatibility does not mean "the same as." Rather, compatibility refers to the sensitivity of development proposals in maintaining the character of existing development.

Site Characteristics that May Affect Compatibility:
• Size of complex/ size of structure
• Scale• Height• Roof form• Building massing/ bulk • Colors/materials• Architecture/design
• pedestrian or vehicular traffic
• circulation and access• parking impacts• landscaping • lighting

Existing Compatibility Standards
• Land Use Code Section 3.5.1– Architectural character– Building size, height, bulk, mass, scale– Privacy considerations– Building materials– Building colors– Building (special) height review– Operational/physical compatibility standards

Additional District Standards
The Land Use Code has zone district specific standards to address the density/intensity of development, building design, bulk and massing, and building height

Articulation
The multifamily structure is highly articulated.
This assists with compatibility.

Multifamily Articulation and Massing
The buildings have various roof plains, projections and recesses helping break up the mass of the structure

Pine Street Lofts
• Third story is “stepped back” – mitigating height.
• High quality materials (stone, brick)
• Architectural detailing (window lentils)
• Shows compatibility with context (Downtown)
• Cornice treatment on flat roof

Cortina: High-density, Multifamily
- height mitigated by base, middle and top treatments
- high level of articulation assists with overall compatibility
- base has some mixed use (law office)

Massing, Scale, Articulation
Buildings shall either be similar in size and height, or, if larger, be articulated and subdivided into massing that is proportional to the mass and scale of other structures. (LUC 3.5.1(C))

Design features assisting with compatibility:
– Dormers– 1 over 1 double
hung windows– Portico/porch
