Architecture The DSP includes the following policy regarding specific allowable architectural styles within the Downtown: Policy No. 6: New residential building design, including the design of replacement buildings for buildings constructed before 1942 which are approved for demolition, should draw upon the primary exterior features of the Downtown's traditional design character in terms of materials, colors, details of construction, and setbacks and should utilize or be based on one of the following architectural styles found in Downtown dating from pre-1942: Gothic Revival, Italianate, Victorian (Queen Anne, Stick, and Folk), Bay Tradition, Craftsman, Prairie, Mission Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Minimal Traditional, Vernacular Forms, and FHA Minimum House. In addition to the above policy, the DSP recommends the use of traditional materials, finishes, colors, and detailing. Some of the Downtown Design Guidelines that pertain to the proposed project include: • New construction is to use a rich variety of detailing appropriate to the style of the building and that found in similar homes in the neighborhood. This includes elements such as roof eave, door and window trim, balconies, railings, and material accents such as tile or shingle patterns. • Continue the existing density and spacing of homes. Match the side yard setbacks of surrounding homes. • Generally align homes with adjacent houses. • New homes should face the street. • New residential building design, including the design of replacement buildings for buildings constructed before 1942 which are approved for demolition, or additions to existing single-family homes should result in homes that are consistent with the floor area, bulk, and massing of homes in the immediate neighborhood. • Reflect the general massing of surrounding homes, including roof forms and step backs, front porches, bay windows, and balconies. • Reduce mass through roof forms such as hips, dormers, small gables, and articulations such as balconies. • Use natural exterior materials. Fake stone, rough-hewn wood or plywood, metal, or plastic should not be used as exterior siding. Use of green construction materials is encouraged. • The shape, materials, and placement of windows should be appropriate to the architectural style. Various architectural styles require different window details. For example, windows on stucco exteriors must be recessed. For wood clad exteriors, windows do not need to be recessed provided there is substantial trim separating the windows from the wall and have window sills that cast a shadow on the wall. • New homes should reflect the predominant entry style of the immediate neighborhood, direct or private.
