The Design Guidelines

The Design Guidelines are organized in five sections from comprehensive urban environment objectives to desirable outcomes concerning architectural and landscape details.

Development proposals for new buildings will need to work through portions of each section to gain a full understanding of what's envisioned for an appropriate fit into this urban neighborhood context as the building design proceeds through the approval process.
