Building height , bulk, and floor area should respond <br />to lot size, natural site terrain, and other site conditions. <br />Wall recesses and projections, roof overhangs, decks, <br />porches , bay windows, dormer windows, and other <br />architectural features are encouraged to reduce visual bulk <br />and create interest. <br />(2) In sloping terrain, building form should conform to site <br />topography by stepping buildings up or down hillsides <br />instead of designing flatland homes for hillside settings. <br />(3) Housing designs should be creatively mixed to avoid a <br />repetition of similar facades and roof lines. <br />30
