Article 6 — Architectural Guidelines

A. Purpose and Applicability. The standards in this article provide direction for the design of all buildings (private houses on private lots and public buildings within the public realm), appurtenances and site elements within the speciYc plan area. The materials, methods, and forms herein are standard. All other materials, methods, and forms are prohibited, unless explicitly approved in writing through design review, based on a Ynding that they conform to the design intent of this code.

B. Relationship to Urban Standards. The urban standards in Article 3 of this chapter deYne the location and massing of buildings and site elements on the lots, focusing on the relationship of the building to the lot, the block

and the neighborhood. These architectural guidelines deYne the permitted range of architectural design possibilities, ensuring a degree of authenticity and cohesion for the overall urban design.

• C. Style Precedents. Five distinct architectural styles have been selected as the basis for the architectural standards based on their history and success in the city of Ventura and Ventura County neighborhoods. These styles are:

  1. The Spanish Revival style, derived from the style of the missions of California, built between 1767 and 1823 during the Spanish Colonial period.

  2. The Victorian style, which draws from Carpenter Gothic and Queen Anne traditions as seen throughout California, from the 1830s to the turn of the century.

  3. The Italianate style, popular in California from the 1830s through the 1880s.

  4. The Craftsman style, particularly as characteristic of early 20th century California bungalows.

  5. The Tudor style derives its inspiration from the Storybook, Normandy, and Tudor styles that appeared on the American scene in the late 19th century and were popular through the 1940s. Because the Tudor style is a less common style in Ventura, no more than 10 percent of the buildings constructed within the UC Hansen Trust planning area shall be of the Tudor style. In addition Tudor style buildings shall not be built adjacent to one another (i.e., they shall be separated by a building constructed of one of the other four permitted styles).

The drawings in these guidelines are intended to illustrate designs characteristic of the Ventura County variants of these classic American styles. These illustrations convey the level of detail that is to be provided in the architecture of the buildings, but not inclusive of all possible variations of the style.

D. Range of Materials. Within each style, a range of materials – from modest to Yne – are permitted. With any combination of building type and architectural style, the skilled architect will be able to design a wide range of buildings, accommodating a broad range of uses, household types and construction budgets.

1. A key attribute required of all buildings within the speciYc plan area is that they be authentic buildings, growing from the pre-1940 tradition of building in the county. Authentic, natural building materials are preferred. These include wood, brick, smooth plaster, stone, tile, slate, and naturally weathering metals, as listed in these standards. Such materials age gracefully, while many synthetic materials do not. Synthetic materials proposed for use within the district will be evaluated and approved for use only if:

   • a. The material faithfully simulates the appearance of the natural material it imitates; and

   • b. The material has a demonstrated ability to weather gracefully, aging similarly to or better than the natural material it imitates.

2. The scale and detailing of the stylistic elements of the architecture shall be authentic in character.

E. ConKicting Requirements. The materials, conYgurations and methods in this article apply to buildings, appurtenances and site elements throughout the speciYc plan area. The following sections concerning speciYc

Sustainable building and site design is an informed response to environmental issues during project design, construction, and operations. The major issues that sustainable design addresses include energy, landscape and hydrology, indoor environmental quality, and resource conservation.

Following are recommendations that should be considered during project design. While many of these recommendations are already inherent in the provisions of this development code (porches, operable windows), others may be incorporated in the future as they become more a]ordable (either through reduced product prices or government incentive programs).

A. Energy. The built environment is responsible for nearly half the primary energy use in this country, making buildings a leading contributor to global warming, air pollution, and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves. Substantial reductions in energy use can be made by responding thoughtfully to climatic conditions during building design. Additional savings can be achieved through the use of high performance energy systems and alternative energy sources.

1. Passive Solar Design. Use overhangs, shutters, louvers and shade trees to minimize solar heat gain. Design buildings to allow for the passage of cooling breezes.

2. Exterior Circulation and Living Space. Reduce the amount of conditioned space by using covered outdoor circulation, porches, and balconies.

3. Optimize Building Shell Performance. Use tight, well-insulated wall systems and high-performance glazing.

4. Design for Emerging Energy Systems. Design buildings to accommodate renewable energy sources as they become cost e]ective, including solar, wind, and biomass.

• B. Landscape and Hydrology. Infrastructure and the landscape should be informed by nature and natural systems. This includes the creation of a “green infrastructure” system to clean and convey stormwater.

  1. Stormwater Management. Provide methods to Ylter runo] from streets and sidewalks. Appropriate techniques include:

     • a. Rain gardens and vegetated swales to convey and inYltrate rainwater.

     • b. Pervious pavements to allow stormwater to inYltrate directly into the ground below.

  2. Native-in-Character Plants. Reduce the need for irrigation and fertilizers by using plants adapted to local climate, soil and hydrology.

  3. Water Conservation. Reduce water demand by choosing plants that need little irrigation and by using water-saving Yxtures.

C. Indoor Environmental Quality. The indoor environment can be readily designed to promote human health and well-being by minimizing sources of contamination, and providing abundant fresh air and sunlight.

The San Buenaventura Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2026-005, passed February 17, 2026.

Title 24 Zoning Regulations | San Buenaventura Municipal Code

1. Abundant Fresh Air and Daylight. Numerous studies point to the physical and psychological beneYts of a well-designed interior environment. To that end, buildings should be organized to provide abundant natural light and a constant supply of outdoor air. Operable windows should be used to the greatest extent possible and mechanical systems should be designed to accommodate operable windows.

• D. Resource Conservation. To address resource conservation issues, the entire life-cycle of building materials should be considered: the e]ects of extracting raw materials and of manufacturing, performance while in use, including maintenance and durability, and how the materials and packaging will ultimately be disposed of. The primary goal is to encourage the development of “closed-loop” manufacturing which uses waste products as the raw materials of new products.

  1. Sustainably Harvested, Reprocessed or Reusable Materials. Many building products are available which focus on strategies for resource conservation, and in general are becoming more widely available and cost e]ective.

  2. Waste Stream Management. Waste management, including recycling, reuse and composting, is becoming increasingly common and cost e]ective, and should be employed to the degree possible. (Formerly 24H.208.6)

• A. History and Character. The Spanish style is derived from the style of the missions of California, built between 1767 and 1823 during the Spanish Colonial period. The prevailing building material was the local clay adobe, mud

Title 24 Zoning Regulations | San Buenaventura Municipal Code

mixed with a chopped straw binder and used as plaster or sun-dried in bricks. Today, the style is characterized by wall surfaces that are made of Zat austere stucco planes with punched, recessed openings for windows and doors. A greater percentage of the surface is wall than opening, and detail is achieved through the proportional location of openings. Windows occasionally are elaborated with small metal balconies, grilles or awnings, but have no exterior trim. Exterior trim is reserved for main doorways, which have pilasters, columns and capitals. Wood detailing is spare, seen as rafter tails or heavy timber brackets supporting cantilevers or openings. Roofs are always tile, typically barrel mission tile or clay “S” and occasionally Zat cement tile. The typical open spaces for this style are patios and courtyards, which can be open to streets and yards via loggias and arcades.

• B. Essential Characteristics of the Style.

  1. Low-pitched roofs clad with red clay barrel or clay “S” tiles.

  2. Asymmetrical massing compositions, accented by tours, chimneys, and balconies.

  3. Covered patios, porches, and loggias, often deYned by enclosed or semi-enclosed courtyards.

  4. Stucco surfaces with deeply recessed doors and windows, often with arched openings.

  5. Mediterranean color palettes, with creams, whites, and other hues accented by wood and wrought iron elements.

C. Massing and Roof. Most Spanish style buildings are formed from variations or combinations on simple rectilinear forms capped with gabled or hipped roofs. More complex buildings have rambling, compound plans based on picturesque compositions of these rectilinear forms. In the UC Hansen Trust Property, Spanish style buildings will fall into one of the following categories:

1. Single-Family Gable L. A simple, often two-story side-gable oriented parallel to the street edge with a onestory cross-gable end. Roof pitches range from four in 12 to eight in 12. This form may also have parapets at the end gables to present a building of di]ering character.

2. Single-Family Townhouse. A simple rectangle oriented perpendicular to the street edge and capped with a hipped roof. Roof pitches range from four in 12 to eight in 12.

3. Single-Family Gable L Narrow. Two intersecting gable-end rectangles, often with an integral side porch. Roof pitches range from six in 12 to eight in 12.

4. Courtyard. Two or more rectangles composed to form a semiprivate courtyard with access directly from the street. The courtyard should typically have a width and depth no less than one-third of the total width of the building. Roof pitches range from six in 12 to eight in 12.

D. Building Height. Spanish style buildings typically have tall Yrst Zoors and shorter upper Zoors. In the UC Hansen Trust Property the minimum Yrst Zoor ceiling height will be nine feet. Second/upper Zoors may lower ceiling heights to eight feet particularly when cathedral ceilings are used.

Eaves generally fall into two types: open and closed. Open eaves are inspired by Spanish Colonial wood-framing and are characterized by deep overhangs of at least 18 inches and exposed, often decorative, rafters. Open eaves are typically used with hipped roof forms. Closed eaves reZect an adobe masonry tradition and are characterized by simple, stuccoed gable ends, clay roof tiles, and an eight-inch water table in stone or stucco. Closed eaves are typically utilized with gable end or parapetted roof forms.

E. Porches and Exterior Elements. The Spanish style tends to utilize a variety of exterior elements to deYne outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces, including arcaded and colonnaded loggias, covered balconies, galleries, courtyards, and terraces. Rather than separate entities, these elements tend to be extensions of the principal building forms.

These elements include:

==> picture [96 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

1. Loggia spaces, often deYned by arcades. These spaces are typically not enclosed.

2. Covered balconies, with detailing similar to the Monterey Style, but with more substantial structural members and exposed supporting rafters.

3. Well-detailed structural canopies, such as pergolas and trellises.

Chimneys, often with elaborate tops and small, tiled roofs, are also used as deYning special elements in Spanish-style compositions.

Porch and balcony columns are typically square-stock and eight inches in diameter, often with bracketed capitals.

• F. Doors and Windows.

  1. Windows are square or rectangular with a vertical proportion.

  2. Windows are operable casement. For street-facing windows, a four-inch minimum post separates multiple windows in the same rough opening.

  3. There is at least three inches setback between the glass of the windows and the surface of the exterior trim around the windows.

  4. Muntins are divided panes or Yxed on the interior and exterior surfaces. Panes are of square or of similar vertical proportion throughout the building.

  5. Window shutters are louvered or paneled, and operable.

  6. Doors are usually heavy, panelized, and set deep from exterior walls.

  7. Trim is of high-grade lumber at entry only, and built-up.

A. History and Character. The Victorian style draws from Carpenter Gothic and Queen Anne traditions as seen throughout California, from the 1830s to the turn of the century. In the Carpenter Gothic, cross gables with steeply pitched decorated gables are common. In the Queen Anne, bays and turrets are common with surface shingle patterns gaining importance. In both variants, the porches receive the most details. A variation of the Victorian style, the highly picturesque Stick style is thought to have developed as a resort architecture in the mid-1800s. The Stick style was characterized by bright, contrasting paint colors, ornamental brackets and bargeboards, lacy openwork balconies, overhanging eaves, colored shingles, and the purely decorative crisscross timbers, or stick work. By the 1860s, elaborate Stick style confections were appearing across the country, and the style remained popular in resorts, suburbs, and small towns well into the 1870s. West Coast Stick style houses usually have bay windows with straight sides. In addition, the bay window area most often has a gabled roof above it, and the windows are more likely to have Zat tops. The decorative brackets usually line up with the sides of the windows and with the corners of the house and extend down into long vertical strips in these locations. There is sometimes a pattern of short verticals along the cornice line.

• B. Essential Characteristics of the Style.

  1. Steeply pitched gable roofs.

  2. Wide projecting eaves and decorated gable rakes.

3. Tall vertical proportions for windows and doors.

4. Highly detailed window and door head trim.

5. Walls of brick, clapboard, board and batten, shingle, or stone.

6. Highly detailed wooden porches and balconies.

C. Massing and Roofs. Victorian buildings are typically characterized by picturesque massing and tall proportions. Massing types are commonly based on combinations of gable-end forms with perpendicular “gable ells.” Some basic ratios include two to one “gable L” types, two to three “gable L” types, and two to three to two “double gable L” types. More formal massing types retain this picturesque character through the application of Carpenter Gothicstyled decorative brackets along porches and eaves. Roofs are typically steeply pitched, with highly detailed eaves.

In the UC Hansen Trust Property, buildings will tend to fall into one of the following massing categories:

5. Single-Family Townhouse. Two to one gable L massing with hipped or gable-end roof form. Roof pitches range from 10:12 to 12:12.

6. Single-Family Gable L. Two to one gable L massing with front-facing gable end and hipped or gable-end cross gable. Roof pitches typically 10:12.

7. Double Gable. Suitable for multifamily buildings and created by the combination of two basic gable L types. Roof pitches typically 10:12.

8. Centerhall. Broad cross gable, often with one or more dormers facing the street. Roof pitches on the main body typically range from 8:12 to 10:12, while dormer pitches may extend up to 16:12.

9. Wide Gable. Two to two or two to three gable L massing with front-facing gable end and gable-end cross gable, often one and one-half stories. Roof pitches typically range from 8:12 to 10:12, while dormer pitches may extend up to 16:12.

10. Double Gable L. Suitable for live/work, multifamily, and large multifamily buildings and characterized by the combination of two gable L forms. Roof pitches typically 10:12.

D. Building Height. Victorian buildings are characterized by tall proportions. First Zoor ceiling heights should be at least nine feet. Second Zoor ceiling heights may be shorter (eight feet minimum), but nine feet or 10 feet is not uncommon.

Victorian buildings may utilize one of two di]erent eave types. Open eaves are appropriate for more vernacular buildings, particularly in rural settings. Returned eaves are appropriate for formal gable fronts and to facilitate facade material changes.

E. Porches and Exterior Elements. Porches are typically central to Victorian houses. Gable L types typically have side or wraparound porches while centerhall types typically have full-width front porches.

Porches typically exhibit a great deal of variety in detailing, but are usually derived from classical proportions and moldings. Porch columns may be square-stock, square tapered, or turned with brackets and/or fretwork. Porch columns should be six inches minimum in diameter. Porch railings may have square balusters, turned spindles, or decorative panel work.

window and door trim is generally wide around Yve and one-half inches and there are usually additional trim caps, brackets or other details over the window head.

Doors can be paneled, or a combination of paneled and glazed, and occur single or paired. They can also have sidelights and transoms. In most cases the trim surround is more ornate than the window trim.

Windows are double hung with one over one, and two over two paned divisions. They can have Zat, half-round or segmental arched tops.

Specialty windows can be used to accentuate architectural features. Paired and triple windows frequently appear. Box and angled bay windows are also used as accents.

House masses are usually divided into three or Yve equal bays with the windows, doors, and accents elements centered in these divisions.

A. History and Character. The Italianate style was popular in California from the 1830s through the 1880s. Providing square towers, asymmetrical plans, broad roofs, and generous verandas, this style was widely adapted for urban row house architecture in the mid-1800s, characterized by ornate door and window designs, weighty bracketed cornices, and high stoops with robust stair rails. Many townhouses in San Francisco and other northern California cities were built of wood, in the Italianate style. Early in the style the massing was simple with little detailing. The later houses were usually more decorated and had more complex massing, as exempliYed by the San Francisco high Victorian Italianates.

The UC Hansen Trust Property Italianate style is intended to be a formal, classically inspired style, appropriate for rowhouses and single-family homes.

• B. Essential Characteristics of the Style.

  1. Low pitched, hipped or gable-end roofs.

  2. Wide projecting eaves supported by decorative wood brackets.

  3. Tall vertical proportions for windows and doors.

  4. Highly detailed window and door head trim.

C. Massing and Roofs. In more picturesque versions wings project from the mass toward the street with gabled or hipped roof forms. In more detailed examples of the high style towers, cupolas, and projecting bays are added.

Larger Italianate buildings tend to be simple, boxlike forms accented by towers, cupolas, and projected bays.

Large eave projections with cornice brackets are characteristic of the style. Frequently the area between the brackets is detailed with panels. Brackets can occur singly or in pairs, but are always equally spaced across the facade.

1. Rowhouse. Gable L massing with tall false cornice or mansard roof. Roof pitches range from 6:12 to 10:12.

2. Single-Family Narrow. L-shaped massing with a front facing, composed, hipped-roof facade, often with a projecting box bay.

3. Wide Gable L. Broad front with a projecting front gable, appropriate for large houses and multifamily buildings. Roof pitches range from 6:12 to 10:12.

4. Basic Box. Broad front with hipped roofs, 4:12 to 8:12. Formal, classical compositions are common.

5. Cube. Square proportions with classically composed windows and doors, often capped with a cupola or tower. Roof pitches range from 4:12 to 8:12.

6. Double Gable. Three-part massing with pair of projecting gables toward the street, roof pitches range from 6:12 to 10:12.

D. Building Height. Italianate houses are generally vertically proportioned. First Zoor ceiling heights should be nine feet; second Zoor ceiling heights can be eight feet but usually require nine feet to accommodate the detailed cornice. Italianate eaves typically have classical proportions and detailing with deep entablatures, decorative paneling, and substantial brackets.

• E. Porches and Exterior Elements. There are three basic types of porches that may be added to the house.

  1. Stoop porches are small covered porches at the front door, typically centered on the main body massing of the house and measure one bay in width.

  2. Full width porches run the full width of the house and are typically centered on the main body of the house, and measure three to Yve bays in width.

  3. Side porches are typically found along the side of a projecting wing leading to the entry.

  4. Wrap-around porches are a combination of full-width and side porches.

Porch details are typically classical in nature and vertical in proportion. Classically correct Tuscan and Ionic columns, and square-stock columns, are common. Entablatures often have deep overhangs with brackets. Railings may have square balusters or turned spindles. Porches typically have a clear depth of seven feet. Porch columns are typically at least six inches in diameter.

A. History and Character. The Craftsman style represented an independent western movement in American architecture. Its guiding force was the English Arts and Crafts movement, which favored the beauty and honesty of traditional handcraftsmanship and natural materials. In America, these ideas and the style that derived from them were espoused and disseminated by Gustav Stickley. The style was adapted for countless small houses and bungalows from the 1900s to the 1940s but found its most sophisticated expression in the California work of Pasadena architects Greene and Greene. The Craftsman bungalow became widely popular during that era. Since that time, the Craftsman style has developed various interpretations that have adapted it to multifamily and mixed-use prototypes. Typically, it is a snug one-and-a-half-story home with detailed eaves and a wide overhanging roof, surrounded by deep porches, and simple interior with built-in cupboards and cozy inglenooks.

• B. Essential Elements of the Style.

  1. Low, horizontal proportions, characterized by low-pitched gable roofs, horizontal materials, and broad windows and doors.

  2. Deep, broad porches that are integral to the overall building form.

  3. Wide, projecting eaves with exposed rafter tails, supporting beams or braces, and timber-frame decoration in gable ends.

  4. Ganged windows and doors, vertical in proportion and trimmed with wood.

• C. Massing and Roofs. Craftsman buildings are typically compositions of basic squares or rectangles capped by a gable or in some instances hipped roofs. Attic spaces under gabled roof forms and dormers are common. Porch roofs can shed or telescope from the main mass.

In the UC Hansen Trust Property, Craftsman buildings will typically identify with one of the following massing types:

1. Simple Single-Family. A one-story rectangle capped by a gable-end roof set perpendicular to the street edge. Roof pitches range from 4:12 to 10:12.

The San Buenaventura Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2026-005, passed February 17, 2026.

Page 751 of 1137

Title 24 Zoning Regulations | San Buenaventura Municipal Code

2. Simple Single-Family with Dormers. Typically a one-and-one-half-story rectangle with a shed roof and a series of shed or gabled dormers in the attic. Roof pitches range from 8:12 to 10:12.

3. Single-Family Gable L. Two intersecting cross gables often set at a two to one ratio.

4. Bungalow. A one-and-one-half-story square mass with integral porch and large street-facing dormer. Roof pitches on the main body are typically 10:12.

5. Two-Story Single-Family. A two-story rectangle capped by a gable end roof set perpendicular to the street edge. Roof pitches range from 4:12 to 10:12.

6. Wide Two-Story. A two-story rectangle capped by a gable end roof and set parallel to the street edge. Roof pitches range from 4:12 to 10:12.

7. Double Gable. Suitable for larger single-family houses, mixed-use buildings, or multifamily structures, the double gable presents two gable-ends to the street. Roof pitches are typically 6:12 to 8:12.

D. Building Height. Craftsman houses are generally low in massing. Porches are usually elevated approximately two feet from grade. First Zoor ceiling heights should be nine feet, second Zoor ceiling heights can be shorter (eight feet minimum), but the low character is achieved in part through the broad overhang of the eaves.

E. Porches and Exterior Elements. Porches tend to be broad, even encompassing the full width of the house. The roofs on porches tend to parallel the roof of the main mass. On a house with a front gable the roof of the porch also tends to be a gable form creating a telescoping mass. Hipped roof houses tend to have hipped roof porches although shed or gable forms would not be inappropriate. Porch eave details are the same as those on the main mass, including exposed rafter tails, overhangs, and braces.

The detailing of the porches support columns can exhibit a great deal of variety. Typically short square columns rest on massive piers or even the solid balustrade. The piers or solid balustrades usually begin at grade and continue unbroken past the porch deck to rail height or even higher to support the columns. Piers and columns frequently have sloped or battered sides. Piers and balustrades can be of the same material as the main mass of the house – stone, brick, stucco, shingle, or clapboard. In some instances they are of a heavier material than the house mass – a stucco house may have stone piers.

Balustrades can be a solid wall or open railing with square balusters.

F. Doors and Windows. Windows and doors are broad in proportion. On stone or brick houses there is a threeand-one-half-inch-wide brick mould (min) with a brick or stone lintel. On shingled and clapboard houses window and door trim is generally wide, around Yve and one-half inches, and there are usually additional trim caps or other details over the window head.

Doors are broad and can be paneled, or a combination of paneled and glazed, and entries usually occur singly not double. In most cases the trim surround is usually consistent with the window trim, but can be heavier.

Windows are double hung with multiple pane over one divisions being prevalent, while six over six, eight over eight, and other similar paning can occur.

Casement windows can be used as specialty windows which accentuate architectural features. Paired and triple windows frequently occur. Box and angled bay windows are also used as accents.

A. History and Character. The Tudor style derives its inspiration from the Storybook, “Normandy,” and Tudor styles that appeared on the American scene in the late 19th century and were popular through the 1940s. This style Ynds its origins in a variety of late Medieval English prototypes, ranging from humble, thatch-roofed cottages to more elaborate, grand mansions and estates. Although initial buildings built in this style were complex, architect-designed landmarks, by the 1920s and 1930s the style had become immensely popular with the proliferation of unpretentious houses, apartments, and mixed-use structures by builders. In California, developments such as Picardy Village and Normandy Towers are demonstrative of the Yne craftsmanship and imaginative interpretations that characterized this period.

• B. Main Characteristics of the Style.

  1. Picturesque combinations of steeply pitched, gable-end roof forms, often with swaybacked, additive elements.

  2. Stucco wall surfaces, often enlivened by brick and stone detailing around window and door openings, combined with half-timbered gable-ends.

3. Vertically proportioned windows, typically casements of wood or metal, and frequently grouped into gangs of three or more.

4. Large, elaborated chimneys, commonly placed in prominent locations on the fronts or sides of buildings, often with complex masonry or stone patterns.

5. Subdued color palette based on medieval precedents and a prevalence of natural materials.

C. Massing and Roofs. Most Tudor style buildings are typically formed from combinations of one or two rectilinear masses, capped with steeply pitched gable-end roof forms, and set perpendicular to one another to create picturesque compositions. The addition of elements such as swaybacked roof additions, bay windows, dormers, and elaborated chimneys create Ynished designs.

In the UC Hansen Trust Property, Tudor buildings will typically fall into one of the following categories:

1. Basic Single-Family. A simple gable-end mass set perpendicular to the street edge, often with a swaybacked addition at the street. The main mass may be from one to two stories, with one-and-one-halfstory massing common. Roof pitches are typically 10:12 to 12:12.

2. Narrow Gable L. Two simple gable-end masses set perpendicular to one another in a two to one ratio. Buildings may be one and one-half to two stories. Roof pitches are typically 10:12 to 12:12. The entry may be delineated by the addition of a swayback roof over the entrance.

3. Wide Gable L. Two simple gable-end masses set perpendicular to one another in a one to one ratio. A conical tower may be set at their intersection to mark the entrance. Buildings may be one and one-half to two stories. Roof pitches are typically 10:12 to 12:12.

4. Double Gable. Two intersecting gable-end masses set parallel to one another, common in larger singlefamily houses and multifamily structures.

5. Multifamily. Wider massing elements may be combined to form larger buildings appropriate for multifamily units and townhouses. Roof pitches range from 10:12 to 12:12.

Two cornice types predominate: a simple rakeboard and a simple return. The rakeboard may have a slight swaybacked proYle at the gable end. Cornice returns are typically characterized by steeply pitched roofs in slate, wood shakes, or asphalt shingles.

E. Porches and Exterior Elements. Porches are typically integral to the overall massing form of Tudor style buildings, and are characterized by arched openings in masonry, or trabeated openings with Arts-and-Craftsinspired bracketing. Stoop entries with one-bay arched openings in brick or rough-cut stone are common. Upperstory balconies are often integral with shed dormers set across steeply pitched roofs.

Common Porch Types

1. Entry stoops.

2. Front engaged porches.

3. Side and end porches.

F. Doors and Windows. Windows are typically vertically proportioned casements or double-hung in wood or metal, and ganged sets of two or more windows are common. Special windows with leaded-glass patterns are also often visible. A two-and-one-half-inch brickmould is common in stucco walls around all openings with six-inch cast stone or wood lintels.

Shutters and doors are often characterized by board-and-batten compositions, and rounded-headed doors are also common.
