To accomplish the intensity and scale of <br />development consistent with the defined purpose of the GB District, multi- <br />story buildings will be encouraged. <br /> <br />1. Building height will be regulated only as it affects the safety of <br />occupants, compatibility with other uses and buildings, and other City and <br />District requirements. <br /> <br />2. The use of stepped building heights is encouraged to provide visual <br />transition. This applies to both multi-building complexes and single <br />buildings. <br /> <br />3. The location of buildings relative to their heights will consider <br />views and relationship from within the GB District and from public and <br />private areas off the site. <br /> <br />4. Minimum building setback requirements are fifty (50) feet from all <br />streets and exterior project property lines and twenty (20) from all interior <br />property lines, except that interior lot line setback requirements may be <br />modified by the city in the project review process if specific conditions of <br />the project plan justify modification. <br /> <br />C. Landscaping. Appropriate and unified landscaping is essential to <br />effectively meet the defined purpose of the GB District. <br /> <br />1. A landscape plan shall be submitted as required in Section <br />1325.05, Subd 1, of the Zoning Code. <br /> <br />2. Special landscape enhancement of views from I-694 and I-35W <br />will be required. <br /> <br />D. Building Exteriors. The appearance of buildings is the most important <br />component in land development. Accomplishing the stated purpose of the GB <br />District requires particular concern for building design. <br /> <br />1. The arrangement, geometry and massing of individual buildings <br />shall be responsive to the arrangement, geometry and massing of the <br />whole of the GB District. <br /> <br />2. Exterior building treatment (wall surfaces) shall be of brick, stone, <br />glass or any combination thereof, except trim and accessories may be <br />metal. <br />
