Buildings with individual exterior entrances shall be articulated with stoops, porches, balconies, overhangs, arcades (i.e., facades with an attached colonnade covered by upper stories where the sidewalk is fully incorporated under the roof), recessed forecourts (i.e., recessed courts within a storefront gallery or arcade frontage suitable for gardens, vehicular drop-offs and utility off-loading), galleries (i.e., storefronts with an attached colonnade that projects over the sidewalk and encroaches into the public right-of-way), and other architectural devices that articulate the façade.
