Architectural Standards

Individual House and Streetscape Massing

Individual houses should utilize simple geometric shapes and pitched roof. All houses shall employ a front porch or covered entry stoop. Additions should be rectilinear and situated at right angles to and set back from the main mass of the house. Care should be taken to avoid the use of the same house exterior within view from an identical house. Streetscape massing should exhibit a blend and variation of acceptable architectural styles arranged in 1, 11⁄2, 2, and 21⁄2 story masses.

Identical or similar massings and architectural styles are not allowed adjacent to or across the street from one another. Houses situated on corner lots shall be styled and massed appropriately to each street view.
