Policy & Design Guidelines - Additions
Additions to existing structures in Local Historic Districts have a responsibility to complement the original
structure. Additions should reflect the design, scale and architectural style of the original structure. The
following guidelines are intended to encourage addition designs that are compatible with the existing structure,
while not fully mimicking the original design.
2. Additions must respect the original character of the property, but must be distinguishable from the original
construction.

3. All additions to the front or side of existing properties must be of a design that is sensitive to the character
and massing of the existing structure.
4. Additions to the front or side of existing structures that are substantially visible from a street must go before
the full Commission.

window and door openings must remain in proper proportion to the overall design of the building.
Staff Analysis
The Commission will determine if the proposal meets the applciable guidelines for additions. The guideline for
setback is not applicable.
