Streetscape Frontage Maintain a compatible streetscape frontage through design features such as placement and size of the front entry feature, placement of the garage, width of building massing, front setback depth, and retention of mature landscaping and trees. Guiding principles include: Garages — Place new garages in locations similar to the pattern common in the neighborhood: o In neighborhoods which have a strong pattern of garages located at the rear of lots behind the house, that pattern should be repeated. o In neighborhoods where the garage is not a prominent feature of the house, provide additional stepbacks from the front fagade so that the garage is clearly secondary to the house, . A one -car garage may also be considered. Building Width — i i+�If the immediately adjacent structures have larger than required side yard setbacks (typically for detached garage access) that result in narrower homes, utilize floor plans w4t#that also have narrower widths near the front, espeGially On lots; to maintain a consistent streetscape frontage. Front Entry — In neighborhoods where homes have a clearly defined front entry, the proposed design should also incorporate a front entry feature. o Front entry features should be compatible with the proposed architectural style. o Front entry features should be human scale and not taller than the first floor eave height. Landscaping— Maintain theWhere appropriate, maintain any existing; mature landsGape pattern On the neighbowh� ding trees and featuresdrought-tolerant landscaping pattern. 2. Massing and Design Promote massing and design that is compatible with neighboring structures through building placement, roof design, setbacks, and additional second story stepbacks. Guiding principles include: Building Placement and Design — The existing development pattern for building placement should be considered +4for the design of the new structure or addition. o Contextual setbacks —Where there is a strong neig hborho pattern, the proposed structure should utilize front and side setbacks that thatgenerallyalign with structures that front the same street beab.veep sss+�eefics -as the proposed structure. In some cases, additional setback beyond the minimum is appropriate. o Orientation - If there is a strong pattern for a specific orientation of the home (garage and driveway location, front entry placement, window placement, second story massing location), consider utilizing similar orientation of the new home or addition.
