Guidelines

Character of Buildings:

All buildings, structures, and expansion or additions thereto shall be architecturally
coordinated and should be planned in a comprehensive manner, giving consideration
to the relationship between buildings and open areas, efficiency of the circulation
systems, visual impact and design compatibility with the surrounding developments.

Planning of all buildings subject to Development Permits shall be made with due
consideration to the relation between building height, site coverage, yard setbacks
and in relation to surrounding properties and streets. View corridors for existing
residences must be identified in the design process and protected where possible.

Slope Retention:

For properties where the slope of land exceeds 15 percent, development p.ans must
include provision for site retention through landscaping and man-made retention.

All lot grading and excavation work shali be designed by a professional engineer
specializing in geotechnical work.
