Entries, and Details The sections below compare the design of the proposed buildings to the applicable Downtown Design Guidelines. Desir!n . New construction, additions, and remodels should reflect the architectural style and detailing of the surrounding neighborhood. Staff received initial public comments that the homes were not unique, and therefore not characteristic of the Downtown in general. The applicants have revised the facades of the units to provide for more diversity. Staff believes this is appropriate. Rooflines . New homes should use roof forms and materials of similarly styled homes in the neighborhood. . Coordinate roof material with the architectural style of the house, i.e., tile roofs on Spanish or Mediterranean style homes. The neighboring house at 730 Peters has a composition shingle roof, similar to that proposed. Nearby houses at 536 St. John and 417 St. Mary Street have hip roofs similar to those proposed. Staff believes that the proposed roofing material is appropriate for the proposed architecture. Thus, in staff's opinion, the project would be consistent with these guidelines. Materials .
