Sec. 26-282. - Basis for approval.

(a)

The subcommittee shall consider the following criteria:

(1)

New development, or alterations of existing development should utilize building materials, color schemes, roof style, and architecture that is visually harmonious with the subject property and surrounding neighborhood.

(2)

Vertical and horizontal articulation of building facades should be used to avoid long, uninterrupted exterior walls on residences. All structures should have relief to create an interesting blend and enhance the architecture.

(3)

Roof lines should be reasonably compatible with the design and scale of surrounding structures. Vertical and horizontal roof articulation is encouraged to avoid long monotonous, flat sections of roof.

(4)

The scale and mass of the building should relate to surrounding structures. The height and bulk of the building should be in scale with buildings on surrounding sites and should not visually dominate their sites or call undue attention to themselves.

(5)

The buildings should include a variety of materials and colors. Materials shall be consistently applied and should be chosen to be harmonious with surrounding structures. Piecemeal embellishments and inconsistent materials and architecture should be avoided.
