(1) There shall be at least one roof articulation per Dwelling Unit. Roof articulation shall be achieved by changes in plane and/or the use of traditional roof forms such as gables, hips and dormers. Vertical or horizontal roof articulation is required on all primary and Secondary Façades with pitched roofs. Where pitched roofs are used, the minimum roof pitch for the main roof shall be 6:12 and subordinate roofs, such as sheds and dormers, shall be 4:12.

On the Primary and Secondary Façades, at least one variation in the Decorative Parapet shall occur once per two Dwelling Units. All Façades shall include a Parapet wall that is tall enough to block the view from the adjacent Street(s) of roof mounted equipment. Noise issues related to roof mounted equipment may require the Parapet wall to be at least as tall as the roof mounted equipment.
